Problems solved by technology

However, if the aluminum structure comes into contact with a less reactive material such as the typical steel casing of an air conditioning unit, galvanic corrosion can occur and often presents problems for all-aluminum heat exchanger assemblies
These issues include reduced outdoor unit performance, shortened life of all-aluminum heat exchanger components

Embodiment Construction

[0030] As previously mentioned, refer to Figure 1 of the Figure 1a and Figure 1b , a typical split air conditioner generally includes an indoor unit (not shown) and an outdoor unit (3). Inside the main housing (12) of the outdoor unit are installed a fan (13), a compressor (not shown), a condenser or heat exchanger assembly (2) and a control box (not shown). In all air conditioning units, operation is controlled by a control box (not shown). Various electronic components are located on a control board (also not shown) of the control box to ensure that the air conditioning unit operates as intended. End plates (14) are used to separate the heat exchanger assembly (2) from the compressor and control box and associated electronics into corresponding interior compartments of the outdoor unit.

[0031] The heat exchanger assembly (2) is preferably made of all-aluminum material because of aluminum's general anti-corrosion properties, coupled with its light weight and better heat...

Abstract

There is disclosed a mounting bracket (1) for use to secure a heat exchanger assembly (2) to within an internal casing of an air-conditioning apparatus. The mounting bracket is formed comprises of a body (4) having retaining channel (5) and a closed end section (6), the retaining channel (5) is adapted to receive at least a header (9) of the heat exchanger, assembly (2), a fastener boss (7) integrally formed with the body (4) whereby the fastener boss (7) is adapted to receive a fastener to securely mount the mounting bracket to the internal casing of the air- conditioning apparatus. The header (9) of the heat exchanger assembly is to be inserted through the retaining channel (5) and locked in position through a snap-fit arrangement. The mounting bracket (1) is made of resin, plastic and other insulative material. Such application of insulative mounting bracket (1) advantageously prevents galvanic corrosion of the all aluminum heat exchanger assembly (2) from occurring due to contact of dissimilar metallic materials of the all aluminum heat exchanger assembly with the steel casing. At outdoor unit having such a mounting bracket for the heat exchanger assembly is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to air conditioning units utilizing all-aluminum heat exchanger assemblies, and more particularly to a corrosion-resistant structure to prevent the aluminum heat exchanger assembly from being electrically charged when installed in contact with less reactive metal parts of the air conditioning unit. Even corrosion. Background technique [0002] Air conditioning units are known technology. Air conditioners generally use refrigerant as a heat transfer tool for transferring heat from inside to outside. Traditional refrigerants include Freon or the more environmentally friendly CFC-free refrigerants. The process involves three main components, namely the compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger (also called condenser in cooling mode), the indoor heat exchanger (also called evaporator in cooling mode), and the expansion device such as capillary tubes. The compressor and outdoor heat exchanger are usually located in th...
