An evaporator 6 and a condenser 7, which are made of spine fin tubes 19, are arranged in the same vertical plane, so that the evaporator 6 is located at the top, while the condenser 7 is located at the bottom. Water condensed at the evaporator 6 drops onto an outer surface of the condenser 7. The water is moved along all of vertically spaced straight portions of the spine fine tubes 19 constructing the evaporator 7, which are in the same vertical plane. An increased staying time of the water on the evaporator 7 is, thus, obtained, thereby effectively evaporating the drained water due to the heat transferred from the evaporator 7.

A refrigerating apparatus comprising: a compressor; a condenser; means for generating an air flow contacting the condenser for transferring heat from the condenser to the air flow; an evaporator arranged at a location above the condenser; means for generating an air flow contacted with the evaporator for transferring heat from the air flow to the evaporator; and a pressure reducer arranged between the condenser and the evaporator; an arrangement of the compressor, the condenser, the evaporator and the pressure reducer being for executing a refrigerating cycle such that a compressed refrigerant from the compressor is condensed at the condenser and the refrigerant is, after pressure reduction at the pressure reducer, evaporated at the evaporator; the evaporator and the condenser being oriented vertically in substantially the same plane; the evaporator and the condenser being constructed by a serpentine arrangement of a spine fin tube comprising a central tube and spine fins on an outer cylindrical surface of the tube along substantially the entire length thereof, the spine fin tube of the evaporator being, at a bottom part thereof, in direct connection with a top part of the spine fin tube of the condenser; the spine fins at the bottom part of the spine fin tube of the evaporator and the spine fins at the top part of the spine fin tube of the condenser being in an overlap relationship thereby allowing condensate from said evaporator to drip vertically down through said evaporator and directly onto and through said condenser.
