HEAT EXCHANGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118045 titled 'HEAT EXCHANGER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a heat exchanger with a unique design that includes a heat exchange fin, a refrigerant pipe, a connecting member, and a distribution pipe. The connecting member is positioned between the refrigerant pipe and the distribution pipe, allowing refrigerant to flow through it. The distribution pipe has a greater thickness than the refrigerant pipe, and the connecting member has a thickness within a specific range in relation to the distribution pipe.
- Heat exchanger with heat exchange fin
- Refrigerant pipe with first thickness
- Connecting member between refrigerant pipe and distribution pipe
- Distribution pipe with second thickness greater than first thickness
- Connecting member allows flow of refrigerant between pipes within specific thickness range
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various cooling systems, such as air conditioning units, refrigerators, and heat pumps.
Problems Solved
This design helps improve the efficiency and effectiveness of heat exchange processes by optimizing the flow of refrigerant through the system.
Benefits
- Enhanced heat transfer efficiency - Improved cooling performance - Potential for energy savings
Potential Commercial Applications
- HVAC systems - Refrigeration units - Industrial cooling systems
