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. Inside the outer tank, there is an inner tank connected to either the compressor or the evaporator. The inner tank has a first valve at its upper end and a second valve at its lower end, both of which are operated by an actuator.
- The module has 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 the evaporator.
- The inner tank has a first valve at its upper end and a second valve at its lower end.
- An actuator operates both valves simultaneously.
Potential Applications:
- HVAC systems
- Refrigeration systems
- Industrial heat exchange systems
Problems Solved:
- Efficient transfer of heat between refrigerant and surrounding environment
- Improved control of refrigerant flow and pressure
Benefits:
- Enhanced heat exchange efficiency
- Precise control of refrigerant flow
- Compact design for space-saving installations
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.
