Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile heat pump air-conditioning systems, and in particular to a novel double-layer to four-flow indoor condenser structure. Background Art
[0002] Unlike fuel-powered vehicles, new energy vehicles lack the ability to utilize engine waste heat, leading to industry consensus on the use of heat pump systems for winter heating and defrosting. Without a complete redevelopment of the air conditioning unit housing, the internal condenser used for winter indoor heating would need to adapt to the space within the unit, placing structural constraints. Replacing the smaller heater core in traditional vehicles with an internal condenser, how to provide increased heat transfer in winter becomes a key design objective. Current research on indoor condensers for automotive heat pump systems primarily focuses on system performance, with limited research on improving individual unit performance. However, existing units are complex and prone to end baffles detaching. During operation, the indoor condenser inlets gaseous refrigerant, which decreases as the condensation process progresses, leaving liquid refrigerant at the outlet. Therefore, the number of flat tubes in each flow path of the double-layer, four-flow condenser should be gradually reduced along the refrigerant flow direction. However, the existing four-flow flat tubes are evenly distributed, resulting in poor heat transfer performance. Summary of the Invention

Under the premise of the same core size, the flow resistance can be greatly reduced and the heat exchange performance of the indoor condenser can be improved. Under the premise of the same heat exchange performance requirements, it can save material costs, reduce weight, and save the space occupied by the core. The use of circular flow holes can meet the high pressure resistance requirements of the condenser, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
