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 that includes an outer tank, an inner tank, valves, and an actuator. The module is connected to a condenser, evaporator, and compressor to exchange heat with a refrigerant.

  • The module consists of an outer tank, inner tank, valves, and an actuator.
  • The outer tank is connected to a condenser or an indoor condenser and a lower chamber connected to an evaporator and a compressor.
  • The inner tank is positioned to exchange heat with a refrigerant in the outer tank and is connected to the compressor, evaporator, or lower portion of the outer tank.
  • A first valve is located at the upper end of the inner tank, and a second valve is rotatably coupled to the lower end of the inner tank.
  • An actuator is connected to both valves, allowing them to rotate simultaneously.
  • The first and second valves can control the flow of refrigerant by permitting flow, expanding, or blocking it through rotation.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • HVAC systems
  • Refrigeration systems
  • Heat pump systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient heat exchange between refrigerant and external environment
  • Control of refrigerant flow and expansion
  • Improved performance and energy efficiency of cooling systems

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced heat transfer efficiency
  • Precise control of refrigerant flow
  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Improved overall performance of cooling 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.
