COMPRESSION MODULE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18053995 titled 'COMPRESSION MODULE FOR VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an embodiment compression module for a vehicle that includes a compression unit, a control unit, and an accumulator unit.

The compression unit is responsible for compressing a refrigerant that is introduced into it.
The control unit is assembled to the compression unit and is used to control the compression unit.
The accumulator unit is mounted on the opposite surface of the control unit and is designed to supply the refrigerant to the compression unit in a gaseous state.

Potential applications of this technology:

Automotive industry: This compression module can be used in vehicles to compress refrigerants for air conditioning systems.
Industrial refrigeration: The module can be utilized in industrial refrigeration systems to compress refrigerants for cooling purposes.
HVAC systems: The compression module can be integrated into heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for compressing refrigerants.

Problems solved by this technology:

Efficient compression: The compression unit ensures effective compression of the refrigerant, allowing for optimal cooling performance.
Controlled compression: The control unit enables precise control over the compression process, ensuring the desired compression levels are achieved.
Gaseous refrigerant supply: The accumulator unit supplies the refrigerant in a gaseous state, which can enhance the efficiency of the compression process.

Benefits of this technology:

Improved cooling performance: The compression module ensures efficient compression of the refrigerant, resulting in better cooling capabilities.
Energy efficiency: The controlled compression process helps optimize energy usage, leading to energy-efficient operation.
Compact design: The separable assembly of the compression unit, control unit, and accumulator unit allows for a compact and space-saving design.

Original Abstract Submitted

An embodiment compression module for a vehicle includes a compression unit configured to compress a refrigerant introduced into the compression unit, a control unit having a first surface separably assembled to the compression unit to control the compression unit, and an accumulator unit separably mounted on a second surface of the control unit in a direction opposite to the compression unit, the accumulator unit being configured to supply the refrigerant to the compression unit in a gaseous state.
