  • Heat pumps are used, for example, for heating heating water.
  • the heat generated by the heat pump is transferred to a heating medium, for example by means of a condenser.
  • the heat pump generates heat by condensation of refrigerant under high pressure and thus at high temperature, while the heat generated thereby is delivered to a heat transfer medium (heating water), for example in a condenser.
  • the condenser the refrigerant is liquefied and then expanded in a throttle body, for example in an expansion valve. Upon absorption of ambient heat, it then evaporates in the evaporator.
  • the gaseous refrigerant is then fed to a compressor and compressed in the compressor.
  • the compressed refrigerant is then supplied to the condenser, in which the refrigerant is in turn liquefied and thereby emits heat to a heat transfer medium.
  • the present invention relates to an air-refrigerant evaporator unit having at least a first pipe for refrigerant having a first port as a refrigerant inlet and a second port as Kälternittelablauf, wherein the tube absorbs heat and releases to the refrigerant, a plurality of fins and a second tube as Replacement length with a third and a fourth connection, which absorbs heat from the refrigerant and can release it again.
  • the evaporator unit may optionally have end blades which are longer than the other blades.
  • the end lamellae or the extended lamellar plates serve for the mechanical reception of an immersion length integrated in the evaporator.
  • the evaporator unit may optionally have a defrosting tray of sheet metal, plastic or EPS foamed.
  • the evaporator unit may have the Ableylange and / or the Abtauwanne in the lower region.
  • the evaporator unit may have a pipe guide in its lower third.
  • the invention also relates to an air-refrigerant evaporator having a first conduit for refrigerant for absorbing heat by evaporation of the refrigerant and a second conduit with refrigerant for emitting heat by subcooling the liquid refrigerant.
  • the evaporator may include a plurality of fins which are thermally coupled only to the first conduit to facilitate vaporization of the refrigerant.
  • the invention also relates to a heat pump device with a fin tube heat exchanger as evaporator and subcooler coil for heating a condensate tray for the evaporator.
  • the subcooler coil is provided in or on the evaporator and serves to heat the condensate tray and / or condensate located in the condensate tray.
  • the heat pump device includes an evaporator mechanically connected to the subcooler coil.
  • the evaporator may have a plurality of fins, wherein the subcooler coil is connected to some of the fins.
  • the subcooler coil is only connected to some of the fins but not to all fins.
  • the subcooler coil and advantageously an evaporator injection line, is connected at one location to one of the fins to minimize vibration transfer from the refrigerant from the refrigerant circuit to the tubes of the subcooler coil.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that, for example, in an air-water heat pump apparatus, an evaporator with a finned tube heat exchanger is used.
  • an evaporator with a finned tube heat exchanger is used.
  • the evaporator is constructed from a plurality of rows of tubes, for example in the direction of flow of the air one behind the other, the evaporator is typically provided with end lamellae for mechanical stabilization of the tubes. These end blades are used in particular to provide attachment points for the pipes.
