Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cold storage, specifically to a bent tube heat dissipation strip cold storage module. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of technology, thermal management using cold storage is gradually being applied to vehicle refrigerator systems. This method offers good energy efficiency and low environmental impact, making it an economical and environmentally friendly approach to vehicle thermal management. Currently, in vehicle refrigerator cold storage modules, heat exchangers are often submerged within phase change materials. This limits the module's capacity to the volume and heat exchange capacity of the internal heat exchanger. Using smaller tube-fin heat exchangers leads to insufficient cooling capacity and slow cold storage rates. Conversely, using large-volume microchannel evaporators with high cooling capacity results in high flow resistance, limiting the amount of cold storage charge and the amount of cold that can be stored. Bent-tube heat exchangers are a highly efficient heat exchange structure, characterized by their compact structure, large heat exchange area, low flow resistance, and high flexibility, making them widely used in refrigeration systems. Combining bent-tube heat exchangers with cold storage modules allows for wider adaptation to various module sizes, further enhancing the module's integration and performance.
