PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerant condenser 2 which can supply liquid-phase refrigerant stably to a supercooling section even when the flow rate of refrigerant flowing through the condenser is varied and decreased due to variation in the load of a refrigeration cycle. SOLUTION: In the refrigerant condenser 2 integrated with a liquid receiver having a liquid receiving section 40 for separating gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant into gas and liquid where a core section 30 is partitioned into a condensing section 34 and a supercooling section 35, the core section 30 is down flow type having tubes 32 directing in the vertical direction, the liquid receiving section 40 comprises a liquid receiving tank 41 extending in the vertical direction and the bottom 40a of the liquid receiving tank is substantially flush with the bottom part 20a of a lower tank. Since the outflow side of the liquid receiving section 40 is located on the under side and the inflow side of the supercooling section 35 is located in the lower tank 20, liquid phase refrigerant can be supplied stably to fill the supercooling section 35 even when the flow rate of refrigerant is decreased and the cooling capacity can be prevented from lowering.
