Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condenser technology, specifically to a high-flow-rate, high-efficiency condenser for automotive air conditioning. Background Technology
[0002] The automotive condenser is one of the core components of a car's air conditioning system. As a heat exchanger, its function is to cool and condense the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant vapor discharged from the compressor into a liquid state, thus completing the heat release process in the refrigeration cycle. Automotive condensers typically consist of copper or aluminum tubes and cooling fins. Some models use parallel-flow condensers to improve heat dissipation efficiency. They are usually installed in front of the car's radiator, facilitating cooling through airflow or forced ventilation from a fan while the car is in motion.
[0003] In the current field of automotive air conditioning condenser technology, these condensers generally feature bent tube structures on both sides for regulating refrigerant circulation. However, the heat dissipation efficiency of these bent tubes is relatively limited in practical applications. Moreover, they occupy a significant amount of space, typically about 10% of the entire condenser's width. This space occupation directly impacts the effective heat dissipation area of the condenser, thus limiting its overall heat dissipation performance. Therefore, to address these issues, there is an urgent need to develop a high-flow-rate, high-efficiency condenser for automotive air conditioning systems to optimize and improve performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-flow-rate, high-efficiency condenser for automotive air conditioning, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-flow-rate, high-efficiency condenser for automotive air conditioning, comprising a first connecting compartment, a second connecting compartment disposed on one side of the first connecting compartment, and a heat exchange mechanism for heat exchange and heat dissipation disposed between the first connecting compartment and the second connecting compartment. The heat exchange mechanism includes heat exchange tubes, heat dissipation fins, a first sealing block, and a second sealing block. A plurality of heat exchange tubes are uniformly fixedly disposed between the first connecting compartment and the second connecting compartment. A plurality of heat dissipation fins are uniformly fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the heat exchange tubes. A first sealing block is uniformly fixedly disposed inside the first connecting compartment, and a plurality of second sealing blocks are uniformly fixedly disposed inside the second connecting compartment.
[0006] Preferably, a refrigerant inlet is fixedly installed on one side of the first connecting compartment, and a bend is fixedly installed on one side of the second connecting compartment. A dryer is fixedly installed at the lower end of the bend, and a refrigerant outlet is fixedly installed at the lower end of the dryer. The refrigerant that has been cooled will be dried by the dryer before it continues to enter the subsequent pipeline for operation.
[0007] Preferably, both the second and first connecting compartments are flattened. This flattened arrangement significantly reduces the space required for refrigerant circulation, allowing for more space for heat exchange tubes and heat dissipation fins, resulting in a larger heat exchange area, improved ventilation flow, and increased heat exchange efficiency. Even with flattened compartments, the refrigerant can still flow in an S-shape within the heat exchange tubes. Figure 4 As shown, after the refrigerant enters through the refrigerant inlet, it can only flow through the first heat exchange tube into the second connecting compartment under the action of the first sealing block. Subsequently, under the action of the second sealing block inside the connecting compartment, it can only flow through the second heat exchange tube into the first connecting compartment. This allows the refrigerant to still flow in a meandering manner to ensure a good heat exchange effect.
[0008] Preferably, the second connecting compartment is inclined, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting compartment of this device is set at an angle when viewed from above. This can further reduce the area occupied by the dryer on the heat dissipation area of the condenser. Compared with the traditional method of placing the dryer directly on the side of the condenser, this device can further increase the heat dissipation area of the condenser, thus further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of this device.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the refrigerant inlet and refrigerant outlet is fixedly provided with a connection port, through which other pipes can be easily connected to the refrigerant inlet and refrigerant outlet.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model replaces the traditional circulating bend section with a thin-plate connecting compartment, which can significantly reduce the space used in the refrigerant circulation section of the device, thereby leaving more space for heat exchange tubes and heat dissipation fins to obtain a larger heat exchange area, improve ventilation flow and heat exchange efficiency.
[0011] 2. This utility model features a deliberately tilted second connecting compartment, cleverly concealing the dryer behind it. This layout effectively reduces the dryer's footprint on the condenser's heat dissipation area. Compared to the traditional method of directly placing the dryer on one side of the condenser, this device further increases the condenser's heat dissipation area, thereby further improving the device's heat dissipation efficiency.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-flow-rate, high-efficiency condenser for automotive air conditioning, including a first connecting compartment 1, a second connecting compartment 2 disposed on one side of the first connecting compartment 1, and a heat exchange mechanism for heat exchange and heat dissipation disposed between the first connecting compartment 1 and the second connecting compartment 2. The heat exchange mechanism includes heat exchange tubes 3, heat dissipation fins 4, a first sealing block 5, and a second sealing block 6. A plurality of heat exchange tubes 3 are uniformly fixedly disposed between the first connecting compartment 1 and the second connecting compartment 2. A plurality of heat dissipation fins 4 are uniformly fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the heat exchange tubes 3. A first sealing block 5 is uniformly fixedly disposed inside the first connecting compartment 1, and a plurality of second sealing blocks 6 are uniformly fixedly disposed inside the second connecting compartment 2.
[0016] A refrigerant inlet 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the first connecting compartment 1, and a bend 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the second connecting compartment 2. A dryer 9 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the bend 8, and a refrigerant outlet 10 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the dryer 9. The refrigerant that has been cooled by the heat will be dried by the dryer 9 before it will continue to enter the subsequent pipeline for operation. Both the second connecting compartment 2 and the first connecting compartment 1 are flattened. This flattened design significantly reduces the space required for refrigerant circulation, allowing for more space for the heat exchange tubes 3 and the heat dissipation fins 4. This results in a larger heat exchange area, improved ventilation flow, and increased heat exchange efficiency. Even with the flattened design, the refrigerant can still flow in an S-shape within the heat exchange tubes 3. Figure 4As shown, after the refrigerant enters from the refrigerant inlet 7, it can only flow into the second connecting chamber 2 through the first heat exchange tube 3 under the action of the first sealing block 5. Then, under the action of the second sealing block 6 inside the connecting chamber, it can only enter the first connecting chamber 1 through the second heat exchange tube 3. This allows the refrigerant to still flow in a meandering manner to ensure a good heat exchange effect. The second connecting compartment 2 is set at an angle, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting chamber 2 of this device is inclined when viewed from above. This can further reduce the area occupied by the dryer 9 on the heat dissipation area of the condenser. Compared with the traditional method of directly setting the dryer 9 on one side of the condenser, this device can further increase the heat dissipation area of the condenser, thus further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of this device. The refrigerant inlet 7 and refrigerant outlet 10 are fixedly provided with a connection port 11 at one end, through which other pipes can be easily connected to the refrigerant inlet 7 and refrigerant outlet 10.
[0017] Working Principle: Compared with existing technologies, this device has the following significant improvements: Firstly, in terms of space utilization and heat exchange performance optimization, this device innovatively adopts a flat design for the second connecting chamber 2 and the first connecting chamber 1. This design can significantly reduce the space occupied by the refrigerant circulation links, thereby freeing up more usable space for the heat exchange tubes 3 and the heat dissipation fins 4. More space means an effective increase in heat exchange area and ventilation flow, ultimately significantly improving heat exchange efficiency. It is worth noting that even though the first connecting chamber 1 and the second connecting chamber 2 adopt a flat structure, the refrigerant flow path within the heat exchange tubes 3 can still maintain a meandering S-shape. As shown in Figure 4, after the refrigerant enters from the refrigerant inlet 7, guided by the first sealing block 5, it can only flow into the second connecting chamber 2 through the first heat exchange tube 3 sequentially; subsequently, under the action of the second sealing block 6 within the second connecting chamber 2, the refrigerant can only flow into the first connecting chamber 1 from the second heat exchange tube 3. Through this ingenious sealing block design, the refrigerant can achieve meandering flow within the heat exchange tubes 3, ensuring good heat exchange performance.
[0018] Secondly, regarding the improvement of heat dissipation area and efficiency, this device features a deliberately tilted second connecting chamber 2, cleverly concealing the dryer 9 behind it. This layout effectively reduces the area occupied by the dryer 9 on the condenser's heat dissipation area. Compared to the traditional method of directly placing the dryer 9 on one side of the condenser, this device further increases the condenser's heat dissipation area, thereby further improving the device's heat dissipation efficiency.
