INJECTION-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGE MODULE AND VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17946266 titled 'INJECTION-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGE MODULE AND VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an injection-type heat exchange module that includes an outer tank with upper and lower chambers. The upper chamber receives refrigerant from either an outer condenser or an inner condenser, while the lower chamber receives refrigerant from an evaporator and discharges it to a compressor. The module also includes an inner tank connected to the compressor or evaporator, with a first valve at the upper end and a second valve at the lower end. An actuator is connected to both valves to rotate them simultaneously.

  • The module consists of an outer tank with upper and lower chambers.
  • The upper chamber receives refrigerant from an outer or inner condenser.
  • The lower chamber receives refrigerant from an evaporator and discharges it to a compressor.
  • An inner tank is arranged inside the outer tank and connected to the compressor or evaporator.
  • A first valve is located at the upper end of the inner tank, and a second valve is located at the lower end.
  • An actuator is connected to both valves, allowing them to be rotated simultaneously.

Potential Applications:

  • HVAC systems
  • Refrigeration systems
  • Industrial heat exchange processes

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient transfer of heat between refrigerant and surrounding environment
  • Proper control of refrigerant flow and pressure

Benefits:

  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Enhanced heat transfer performance
  • Precise control of refrigerant flow
  • Compact design


Original Abstract Submitted

An injection-type heat exchange module includes an outer tank configured with upper and lower chambers, the upper chamber being connected in such a manner that refrigerant is introduced thereinto from an outer condenser or an inner condenser, and the lower chamber being connected in such a manner that the refrigerant is introduced thereinto from an evaporator and that the refrigerant is discharged therefrom to a compressor, an inner tank arranged inside the outer tank and connected in such a manner that the refrigerant is discharged therefrom to the compressor or the evaporator; a first valve arranged in an upper end portion of the inner tank, a second valve arranged in a lower end portion thereof, and an actuator connected to both the first valve and the second valve and operating in such a manner that the first and second valves are rotated at the same time.
