Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a condenser for an air conditioning system of the type generally disclosed in commonly-owned DE 199 12 381 A1.
  • Condensers for air conditioning systems of motor vehicles generally have the flow passing through them from the top to the bottom in multiple flow paths or passes, with the lower region of the condenser having a supercooling section in which the refrigerant is cooled to below the condensation temperature.
  • Cross-flow condensers of this type which also typically have an integrated collector with a dryer, are disclosed in commonly-assigned DE 103 06 192 A1; DE 103 38 526 A1 and DE 198 48 744 A1.
  • this design with the supercooling section situated at the bottom is less advantageous, namely, if a further heat exchanger, for example, a charge air cooler, is connected upstream of the condenser (in terms of air-flow) in the lower end surface region.
  • a further heat exchanger for example, a charge air cooler
  • the supercooling section of the condenser is not sufficiently cooled.
  • Condensers with a supercooling segment situated at the top have therefore already been proposed, as disclosed in commonly-assigned DE 198 30 329 A1 and DE 199 12 381 A1, the disclosures of which are also incorporated herein by reference.
  • the known cross-flow condenser has a condensation section, which is situated in the lower portion and through which the flow passes from the top to the bottom, and a supercooling section, which is situated at the top and is connected to the lower region of the collector via a refrigerant line arranged in the collector or in the collecting pipe.
  • the condenser developed by the present assignee has a condensing section, which is situated in the lower region and through which the flow passes from the bottom to the top, i.e., the refrigerant leaves the condensing section in the upper region and then passes into a collector which accommodates a dryer-filter insert which has an ascending pipe passing through it.
  • the dryer-filter insert is arranged in the lower region of the collector, while there is space in the central region of the collector to receive liquid and gaseous refrigerant.
  • a deflecting space from which liquid refrigerant passes, via the ascending flow pipe and via an upper chamber in the collector, into the supercooling segment situated at the top.
  • a condenser for use in a vehicle air conditioning system, comprising: a finned tube block having horizontally running tubes, and a header tube at each end of the tubes in the tube block, the finned tube block comprising a condensing section and a supercooling section arranged above the condensing section; and a collector arranged parallel to one of the header tubes, wherein the collector includes a dryer-filter insert, a stopper and an ascending flow pipe, the collector being connected for refrigerant flow via a first overflow opening communicating with the condensing section and via a second overflow opening communicating with the supercooling section, wherein an inflow chamber is defined in the region of the first overflow opening in the collector and is bounded by the stopper on the upper side and is bounded by the dryer-filter insert on the lower side.
  • a condenser for use in a vehicle air conditioning system, comprising: a finned tube block having horizontally running tubes, and a header tube at each end of the tubes in the tube block, the finned tube block comprising a condensing section and a supercooling section arranged above the condensing section; and a collector arranged parallel to one of the header tubes and being connected for refrigerant flow via a first overflow opening communicating with the condensing section and via a second overflow opening communicating with the supercooling section, wherein the collector includes a dryer-filter insert, an ascending flow pipe and a downward flow pipe having a first inlet pipe end connected to the first overflow opening.
  • a condenser for use in a vehicle air conditioning system, comprising: a finned tube block having horizontally running tubes, and a header tube at each end of the tubes in the tube block, the finned tube block comprising a condensing section and a supercooling section arranged above the condensing section; a collector arranged parallel to one of the header tubes, wherein the collector includes a dryer-filter insert, a stopper and an ascending flow pipe, the collector being connected for refrigerant flow via a first overflow opening communicating with the condensing section and via a second overflow opening communicating with the supercooling section; and a refrigerant flow arrangement located in the collector for decreasing the flow velocity of the refrigerant, after it exits the first overflow opening, by an amount sufficient to permit at least some gaseous phase refrigerant to separate from liquid refrigerant.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a cross-flow condenser with a supercooling segment situated at the top and with a laterally arranged, integrated collector;
  • FIG. 2 is a cut-away view showing the collector with an adjacent collecting pipe
  • FIG. 3 is a cut-away view showing the collector with a down pipe (second exemplary embodiment of the invention).
  • FIG. 4 is a cut-away view showing the collector according to FIG. 3 , with views of the stopper and dryer-filter;
  • FIG. 5 is a cut-away view showing the collector with the down pipe passing through the dryer-filter (third exemplary embodiment of the invention).
  • FIG. 6 is a cut-away view showing the collector according to FIG. 5 , with views of the stopper and dryer-filter.
  • an inflow chamber is situated in the collector in the region of the overflow opening for the refrigerant from the condensing section.
  • the inflow chamber is upwardly bounded by a stopper and downwardly bounded by the dryer.
  • the refrigerant entering the inflow chamber is therefore distributed uniformly over the entire cross section of the collector and then enters the dryer, through which the refrigerant inevitably passes from the top to the bottom.
  • the refrigerant is dried and filtered.
  • the dryer is therefore situated in the central to upper region of the collector, i.e., directly below the overflow opening from the condensing section. An effective drying of the refrigerant is therefore achieved.
  • a storage space for the refrigerant is provided below the dryer-filter insert and serves not only to store refrigerant but also to degas the refrigerant. Owing to the retarded flow velocity of the refrigerant, gas bubbles can separate from the liquid and can rise upwardly.
  • the ascending pipe passing through the dryer-filter insert is connected at a lower end to the storage space and is connected at its upper end to a stopper which causes the refrigerant to be deflected into the supercooling section.
  • the stopper is inserted into the collector and is sealed circumferentially via an O-ring, between the two overflow openings. This prevents refrigerant, which enters the collector from the condensing section, from passing directly into the supercooling section, i.e., without being dried, filtered and degassed.
  • a downward flow pipe is provided in the collector and is connected—indirectly—via a stopper to the overflow opening of the condensing section and conducts the refrigerant as far as the dryer-filter.
  • the down pipe is guided through the dryer-filter into a chamber which receives the refrigerant with a reduced flow velocity and while simultaneously being degassed.
  • the flow through the dryer-filter i.e., the molecular sieve, takes place in this case owing to differences in the density of the refrigerant, rather than inevitably. It is advantageous in this case that, by extending the down pipe, the possibility of mixing gaseous and liquid refrigerant is further restricted or suppressed, and therefore better degassing of the refrigerant supplied to the supercooling segment is obtained.
  • the stopper, the ascending pipe and/or the downward flow pipe may be formed integrally and may advantageously also be connected to the dryer-filter insert to form a constructional unit which is inserted as a pre-manufactured part or sub-unit into the collector. This sub-unit can also be more easily exchanged for maintenance purposes.
  • the cooler is provided with a releasable closure for maintenance.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross-flow condenser 1 through which the flow can pass in multiple paths or passes and which has a finned tube block 2 , laterally arranged collecting tubes or headers 3 , 4 and an integrated collector 5 .
  • the arrows P 1 , P 2 , P 3 , P 4 , P 5 and P 6 which point in alternating directions, illustrate the directions of flow of the refrigerant in individual passes or tube sub-groups (not illustrated in detail) of the finned tube block 2 .
  • the refrigerant enters via a connector 3 a situated at the bottom and exits via a connector 3 b situated at the top.
  • the finned tube block 2 comprises a condensing section, which corresponds to arrows P 1 to P 5 , and a supercooling section which is arranged above the condensing section and is indicated by arrow P 6 .
  • liquid refrigerant flows in the supercooling section and is cooled to below the condensation temperature of the refrigerant by the ambient air which acts upon the condenser 1 .
  • the refrigerant subsequently leaves the condenser 1 via the connector 3 b.
  • FIG. 2 shows the collector 5 with the header tube 4 of the condenser 1 , in a 3-D cut-off or sectional illustration. Only the two upper chambers 4 a , 4 b are illustrated of the header 4 , with these chambers being respectively connected to the last tube sub-group forming pass P 5 of the condensing section of the condenser and to the supercooling pass P 6 .
  • the collector 5 typically comprises—as known from the publications mentioned at the beginning—a cylindrical container which is composed of a pipe 5 a and an extruded profiled piece 5 b .
  • the collector 5 is preferably permanently closed (nonreleasably) at the bottom by a base 6 , which is typically soldered in, and is closed at the top by a releasable closure stopper 7 .
  • the header chamber 4 a is connected on the refrigerant side to the interior of collector! via a first overflow opening 8
  • the chamber 4 b is connected via a second overflow opening 9 to the interior of the collector 5 .
  • a dryer-filter 10 also called dryer-filter insert
  • a dryer material e.g., a molecular sieve.
  • the collector 5 On its upper and lower sides, i.e., the refrigerant inlet and refrigerant outlet sides, the collector 5 has a sieve, for example, in the form of a fleece (not illustrated in detail), for filtering the refrigerant.
  • a stopper 11 Arranged above the dryer 10 is a stopper 11 which is sealed circumferentially in relation to the interior of the profiled piece 5 b , e.g., via an O-ring 12 in the region between the two overflow openings 8 , 9 . Between the stopper 11 and the dryer 10 , an inflow chamber 13 is formed in the region of the overflow opening 8 .
  • a storage chamber 14 which serves to store liquid and/or gaseous refrigerant.
  • an ascending pipe 15 is arranged eccentrically and preferably in the vicinity of the wall and is guided through the dryer-filter 10 .
  • Pipe 15 enters the storage space 14 at the bottom or reaches as far as the base 6 and extends upwardly into the stopper 11 , which connects the ascending pipe 15 via an opening 11 a to the chamber 4 b and therefore to the supercooling section P 6 .
  • a deflection (not shown in detail here) of the refrigerant from the ascending pipe 15 into the chamber 4 b therefore takes place in the stopper 11 .
  • the ascending pipe 15 has an opening 15 a , via which refrigerant can enter the ascending pipe 15 .
  • the function of the previously described collector 5 with dryer-filter 10 is as follows: the refrigerant emerging from the last pass P 5 of the condensing section of the condenser 1 passes via the overflow opening 8 into the inflow chamber 13 , where the refrigerant is uniformly distributed over the cross section of the collector 5 and its flow velocity is therefore reduced. From the inflow chamber 13 , the refrigerant flows (inevitably) through the dryer-filter 10 by means of which it is filtered and dried. After exiting from the dryer-filter 10 , the refrigerant passes into the storage space 14 , where its flow velocity is further reduced. In the process, gaseous constituents of the refrigerant can separate, these constituents rising upwardly and collecting in the upper region of the storage space 14 .
  • the refrigerant passes via the inlet opening 15 a into the ascending pipe 15 and flows through the latter from the bottom to the top, i.e., it traverses the dryer-filter 10 in the ascending pipe 15 and passes into the stopper 11 , where it is deflected into the chamber 4 b and enters from there into the supercooling section P 6 .
  • the collector 5 has a realeasable closure stopper 7 , the dryer-filter 10 , the ascending pipe 15 and the stopper 11 may be exchanged for maintenance purposes. This is particularly simple to handle if dryer-filter 10 , ascending pipe 15 and stopper 11 are designed as a pre-manufactured, cohesive constructional unit.
  • FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show a further exemplary embodiment of the invention having collector 5 with a header tube 4 .
  • the same reference numbers as previously are used for the same parts.
  • the chambers 4 a and 4 b of the header 4 are connected to the collector 5 via the overflow openings 8 , 9 .
  • the dryer-filter 10 which is only partially illustrated in FIG. 3 , i.e., by an upper end flange 10 a and a lower end flange 10 b , is arranged in the lower region of the collector 5 .
  • the ascending flow pipe 15 penetrates and passes through the dryer-filter 10 .
  • a stopper 16 is arranged in the collector 5 , the stopper having two duct openings 17 , 18 which are aligned with the overflow openings 8 , 9 and between which an O-ring 16 a is arranged for sealing purposes.
  • the duct opening 17 is connected via an inflow duct 17 a to a down pipe 19 , the upper pipe end of which opens into the inflow duct 17 a and is accommodated by the stopper 16 .
  • the down pipe 19 extends downwardly into the vicinity of the end flange 10 a of the dryer-filter 10 and has diametrically opposite outflow openings 19 a at the lower pipe end.
  • a deflecting chamber 20 for the refrigerant is provided below the dryer-filter 10 , i.e., between the lower end flange 10 b and the base 6 , and the lowermost end 15 a of the ascending pipe projects into it with an inlet opening (not illustrated in detail).
  • the upper end 15 b of the ascending pipe 15 is accommodated in the stopper 16 and is connected to a deflecting duct 18 a which leads to the duct outlet opening 18 and therefore into the chamber 4 b of the supercooling segment P 6 .
  • the collector 5 with down pipe 19 operates as follows: the refrigerant passes out of the last flow path P 5 of the condensing section via the chamber 4 a and the inflow duct 17 directly into the downward flow pipe 19 , in which it flows downwardly.
  • the refrigerant exits from the down pipe 19 through the outflow openings 19 a on both sides and is therefore distributed over the internal cross section of the collector 5 , causing the flow velocity to be retarded.
  • the refrigerant then enters the dryer-filter 10 and (inevitably) flows through it from the top to the bottom. In the process, a filtering of the refrigerant takes place at the inlet and outlet by means of fleeces (not illustrated in detail).
  • the dried refrigerant After leaving the dryer-filter 10 , the dried refrigerant passes into the lower deflecting chamber 20 , then enters the lower pipe end 15 a of the ascending pipe 15 and flows through the latter from the bottom to the top as far as the stopper 16 , in which it is deflected and conducted into the chamber 4 b to the supercooling segment P 6 .
  • the retardation of the refrigerant flow when it leaves the down pipe 19 makes it possible for gaseous constituents to be precipitated from the liquid refrigerant, with these constituents rising upwardly. A further degassing takes place on the path through the dryer-filter 10 .
  • the down pipe 19 and its direct connection to the chamber 4 a prevent separated gas constituents from mixing with the liquid refrigerant fed in from the condensing section. Below the stopper, it is therefore possible to form a gas space for separated gas bubbles. This gas space is separated and sealed off from the condensing section and the refrigerant flowing into it.
  • FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show a third exemplary embodiment of the invention with collector 5 with header pipe 4 (the same reference numbers are again used for the same parts) and having a continuous down pipe 21 , i.e., passing through the dryer-filter 10 .
  • the arrangement and design of the stopper 16 corresponds to the stopper in the previous exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 .
  • the upper pipe ends of down pipe 21 and ascending pipe 15 are accommodated in the stopper 16 and are connected via deflecting ducts in the stopper 16 to the chambers 4 a , 4 b of the header 4 .
  • a chamber 22 is arranged below the dryer-filter 10 and the lower end flange 10 b , and lower pipe end 21 a of the down pipe 21 opens into chamber 22 .
  • the chamber 22 is bounded below by an end flange 22 a but is downwardly open.
  • the deflecting space 20 is situated at the lower pipe end 15 a of the ascending pipe 15 .
  • the dryer-filter has filters or sieves (not illustrated in detail), which are designed as fleeces, on both sides in the region of the end flanges 10 a , 10 b.
  • the embodiment of the collector 5 with a continuous down pipe 21 in FIGS. 5 and 6 operates as follows: the refrigerant enters (analogously to the previous exemplary embodiment) directly into the down pipe 21 and flows through the latter from the top to the bottom, and only exits from the down pipe 21 in the chamber 22 at the lower pipe end 21 a .
  • the refrigerant is distributed to the cross section of the collector, thus resulting in a retardation of the flow velocity and therefore in the possibility of gaseous constituents separating.
  • Some of the refrigerant therefore flows upwardly through the dryer-filter 10 and thereby comes into contact with the dryer substance, as a result of which drying takes place.
  • the flow therefore does not inevitably pass through the dryer-filter 10 , i.e., its dryer substance.
  • the other part of the refrigerant flows (corresponding to the arrow U) into the deflecting chamber 10 and then enters the lower pipe end 15 a of the ascending pipe 15 .
  • the refrigerant subsequently flows (as in the preceding exemplary embodiment) via the ascending pipe 15 and the stopper 16 into the supercooling section P 6 .
  • the invention is not restricted to dryer-filters which are filled with granules of hygroscopic material.
  • Other types of compact dryers e.g., which are composed of a firm mass of plastic material with a molecular sieve embedded in it, as described in commonly-assigned DE 102 34 889 A1, are also within the scope of the invention.
