HEAT EXCHANGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240288232 titled 'HEAT EXCHANGER
The abstract describes a heat exchanger with tubes arranged in two rows, each connected to a separate chamber in the header for refrigerant flow.
- Tubes are configured to allow refrigerant flow in one direction.
- Header has a first chamber for supplying refrigerant to the first row of tubes and a second chamber for receiving refrigerant from the second row of tubes.
- First chamber includes a region between two tubes at opposite ends of the first row, while the second chamber includes a similar region for the second row.
- Inlet pipe supplies refrigerant to the first chamber, and outlet pipe discharges refrigerant from the second chamber.
Potential Applications: - HVAC systems - Refrigeration units - Industrial cooling processes
Problems Solved: - Efficient refrigerant distribution - Optimal heat transfer
Benefits: - Improved cooling efficiency - Enhanced system performance - Energy savings
Commercial Applications: - Air conditioning units - Refrigerators - Heat pumps
Questions about Heat Exchangers: 1. How does the design of this heat exchanger improve refrigerant flow efficiency?
The design optimizes the distribution of refrigerant to ensure effective heat transfer within the system.
2. What are the key advantages of using a heat exchanger with separate chambers for different rows of tubes?
The separate chambers allow for better control and management of refrigerant flow, leading to improved overall system performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed herein is a heat exchanger including a plurality of tubes configured to enable refrigerant to flow therein, the plurality of tubes arranged along one direction and divided into a first row and a second row, a header coupled to ends of the plurality of tubes and including a first chamber to supply refrigerant to the first row of tubes and a second chamber to be supplied with refrigerant from the second row of tubes, wherein the first chamber includes a first region defined in the one direction between two tubes disposed at opposite ends of the first row of tubes, and the second chamber includes a second region defined in the one direction between two tubes disposed at opposite ends of the second row of tubes, an inlet pipe communicating with the first chamber within the first region to supply refrigerant to the first chamber, and an outlet pipe communicating with the second chamber within the second region to discharge refrigerant of the second chamber.
