Heat Exchanger and Refrigerant Module of Integrated Thermal Management System for Vehicle Including Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17969861 titled 'Heat Exchanger and Refrigerant Module of Integrated Thermal Management System for Vehicle Including Same
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a heat exchanger that has two flow paths for refrigerant. One flow path is for refrigerant discharged from a condenser and drawn into an expansion valve, while the other flow path is for refrigerant discharged from a vapor-liquid separator and drawn into a compressor. The heat exchanger is designed to exchange heat between the refrigerant in the two flow paths.
- The heat exchanger has two separate flow paths for refrigerant.
- One flow path is for refrigerant discharged from a condenser and drawn into an expansion valve.
- The other flow path is for refrigerant discharged from a vapor-liquid separator and drawn into a compressor.
- The heat exchanger performs a heat exchange between the refrigerant in the two flow paths.
Potential Applications
- Air conditioning systems
- Refrigeration systems
- Heat pump systems
Problems Solved
- Efficient heat exchange between refrigerant flows
- Improved performance of cooling and heating systems
Benefits
- Enhanced energy efficiency
- Reduced energy consumption
- Improved overall system performance
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment heat exchanger includes a first flow path through which a refrigerant discharged from a condenser and drawn into an expansion valve flows and a second flow path through which the refrigerant discharged from a vapor-liquid separator and drawn into a compressor flows, wherein the heat exchanger is configured to perform a heat exchange between the refrigerant flowing through the first flow path and the refrigerant flowing through the second flow path.
