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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972179 titled 'INJECTION-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGE MODULE AND THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE APPLYING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an injection-type heat exchange module for refrigeration systems. The module includes an outer tank connected to a condenser and a lower chamber connected to an evaporator and a compressor. It also includes an inner tank that exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the outer tank and is connected to the compressor, evaporator, or lower portion of the outer tank. The module further includes two valves, one at the upper end of the inner tank and one at the lower end, which can be rotated to control the flow of refrigerant.

  • The module consists of an outer tank, inner tank, valves, and an actuator.
  • The outer tank is connected to a condenser, while the lower chamber is connected to an evaporator and a compressor.
  • The inner tank exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the outer tank and is connected to the compressor, evaporator, or lower portion of the outer tank.
  • The first valve is located at the upper end of the inner tank, while the second valve is rotatably coupled to the lower end.
  • An actuator is connected to both valves, allowing them to be rotated simultaneously.
  • The valves can permit flow, expand, or block the flow of refrigerant by rotation.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Refrigeration systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
  • Air conditioning systems for buildings and vehicles.
  • Heat exchange systems in various industries, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient heat exchange between the refrigerant and the surrounding environment.
  • Control of refrigerant flow and pressure within the system.
  • Optimization of energy consumption and overall system performance.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved cooling efficiency and performance.
  • Enhanced control over the refrigeration process.
  • Energy savings and reduced operating costs.
  • Compact design and easy integration into existing systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

An injection-type heat exchange module includes an outer tank connected to an external condenser or an indoor condenser and a lower chamber connected to an evaporator and a compressor, an inner tank disposed so as to exchange heat with a refrigerant in the outer tank and connected to the compressor, the evaporator, or a lower portion of the outer tank, a first valve disposed at an upper end of the inner tank, a second valve rotatably coupled to a lower end of the inner tank, and an actuator connected to the first valve and the second valve to simultaneously rotate the same. The first and second valves are configured to permit flow of, expand, or block the flow of the refrigerant by rotation thereof.
