Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of condensers and relates to a condenser with a double liquid storage tank. Background Art

[0002] A condenser is a component of a refrigeration system and belongs to a type of heat exchanger. It can convert a gas or vapor into a liquid and transfer the heat in the tubes to the air near the tubes in a very fast manner. The working process of a condenser is an exothermic process, so the temperature of the condenser is relatively high. Especially for the condensers used in automobiles, due to the long-term driving of the automobiles, the following problems exist. First, the condenser is prone to heat during long-term operation and has a high demand for heat dissipation, and it is necessary to ensure the refrigeration effect of the condenser. Second, during driving, there is shaking, and it is necessary to ensure that the condenser is firmly fixed and will not become loose due to long-term shaking. Moreover, when the core body (flat tube) vibrates during shaking, it will generate a pulling force on the liquid collecting pipe, resulting in damage to the liquid collecting pipe, the liquid inlet pipe, and the liquid outlet pipe. Third, since the internal environment of the automobile is prone to dust accumulation, it is necessary to clean the coolant. However, the existing condensers are generally only equipped with one liquid storage tank, resulting in poor cleaning effect and unable to meet the actual needs. Therefore, a condenser with a double liquid storage tank is designed to overcome the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
