INJECTION TYPE HEAT EXCHANGE MODULE AND HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE APPLYING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17946261 titled 'INJECTION TYPE HEAT EXCHANGE MODULE AND HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE APPLYING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an injection type heat exchange module for a vehicle's heat management system. The module includes an outer tank with upper and lower chambers, an inner tank inside the upper chamber for heat exchange with the refrigerant, and valves for controlling the flow of refrigerant. An actuator is connected to the valves to operate them simultaneously.

  • The module is designed for heat exchange in a vehicle's heat management system.
  • It includes an outer tank with upper and lower chambers, and an inner tank inside the upper chamber.
  • The inner tank is connected to discharge refrigerant to various components such as the compressor, evaporator, or lower chamber of the outer tank.
  • The module features a first valve on the upper end of the inner tank and a second valve on the lower end, both of which can be rotated.
  • An actuator is connected to both valves, allowing them to be operated simultaneously.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: The heat exchange module can be used in vehicles to efficiently manage heat and improve overall performance.
  • HVAC systems: The module can be applied in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to enhance heat exchange capabilities.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inefficient heat exchange: The module improves heat exchange efficiency by providing separate chambers and valves for controlling the flow of refrigerant.
  • Complex control systems: The actuator allows for simultaneous operation of the valves, simplifying the control system.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved heat management: The module enhances heat exchange capabilities, leading to better temperature control in vehicles or HVAC systems.
  • Energy efficiency: By optimizing heat exchange, the module helps reduce energy consumption and improve overall system efficiency.
  • Simplified control: The simultaneous operation of valves through the actuator simplifies the control system, making it easier to manage.


Original Abstract Submitted

An injection type heat exchange module includes an outer tank composed of an upper chamber and a lower chamber separated from each other, an inner tank disposed inside the upper chamber of the outer tank to be heat-exchangeable with the refrigerant and connected to discharge the refrigerant to the compressor, the evaporator, or the lower chamber of the outer tank, a first valve disposed on an upper end of the inner tank; a second valve rotatably coupled to a lower end of the inner tank, and an actuator simultaneously connected to the first valve and the second valve to be operated to simultaneously rotate the first valve and the second valve, and a heat management system for a vehicle applying the same.
