Benefits of technology

The invention provides a heat exchanger with a better structure for distributing refrigerant. It has one inlet and one outlet pipe, and the refrigerant flows through a header and out through an outlet pipe during a heating cycle. This improvement ensures more efficient heating and better performance of the heat exchanger.

Problems solved by technology

However, because an increase in the number of inlet pipes increases cost design space, a structure in which only one inlet pipe is used while distribution of the refrigerant is improved has been researched.

Abstract

A heat exchanger having an improved distribution structure in which one inlet pipe is connected to a header which is partitioned into a first sub-chamber in which a refrigerant flows through the inlet pipe and a second sub-chamber in which tubes communicate with each other, and a distribution pipe is installed at the header and causes the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber to communicate so that the refrigerant in the first sub-chamber can be distributed to the tubes. The distribution pipe can pass through and can be combined with a partitioning baffle that is combined with the header to partition a chamber of the header into the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the priority benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0111721 filed on Oct. 9, 2012, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0042780 filed on Apr. 18, 2013 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]The following description relates to a heat exchanger, and more particularly, to a heat exchanger having an improved refrigerant distribution structure.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]In general, a heat exchanger is a device that exchanges heat from a refrigerant with air outside the heat exchanger by using a tube in which the refrigerant flows and is heat-exchanged with air outside the heat exchanger, heat-exchanging fins that contact the tube to increase a heat dissipation area, and a header in which both ends of the tube communicate with each other. The heat exchanger may include an evaporator or a cond...
