HEAT EXCHANGER AND AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18262940 titled 'HEAT EXCHANGER AND AIR CONDITIONER
Simplified Explanation
An outdoor heat exchanger described in the patent application consists of windward and leeward flat tubes, as well as a distributor. The refrigerant flows through different sets of flat tubes depending on whether the heat exchanger is acting as an evaporator or a condenser.
- The outdoor heat exchanger includes windward and leeward flat tubes and a distributor.
- When acting as an evaporator, the refrigerant flows through second, fourth, third, and first flat tubes.
- When acting as a condenser, the refrigerant flows through first, third, fourth, and second flat tubes.
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and refrigeration units.
Problems Solved
Efficient heat exchange, improved performance of cooling systems, and energy savings.
Benefits
Enhanced heat transfer, reduced energy consumption, and increased overall system efficiency.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Heat Exchange in Outdoor Systems for Improved Efficiency"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to outdoor heat exchangers in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does the design of the heat exchanger impact its overall efficiency?
The design of the heat exchanger, including the arrangement of flat tubes and the distributor, plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency of heat transfer and overall system performance.
What materials are typically used in manufacturing outdoor heat exchangers?
The choice of materials for outdoor heat exchangers can impact their durability, resistance to corrosion, and overall longevity.
Original Abstract Submitted
An outdoor heat exchanger includes: a group of windward flat tubes, a group of leeward flat tubes and a distributor. When the outdoor heat exchanger acts as an evaporator, the refrigerant flows through the plurality of second flat tubes, the plurality of fourth flat tubes, the plurality of third flat tubes, and the plurality of first flat tubes in this order, and when the outdoor heat exchanger acts as a condenser, the refrigerant flows through the plurality of first flat tubes, the plurality of third flat tubes, the plurality of fourth flat tubes, and the plurality of second flat tubes in this order.
