REFRIGERATION CYCLE DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18426596 titled 'REFRIGERATION CYCLE DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

The abstract of the patent application discusses the use of refrigerants in a refrigeration cycle device for a vehicle, specifically focusing on a refrigerant with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP).

• The air conditioner for a vehicle includes a refrigerant circuit and a sealed refrigerant with low GWP.
• The refrigerant circuit consists of a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an outside-air heat exchanger, a cooling control valve, and a second heat exchanger.
• The first heat exchanger serves as a heat dissipater in a dehumidifying heating mode, while the second heat exchanger acts as an evaporator in the same mode.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle air conditioning systems - Environmental conservation due to the use of low GWP refrigerants

Problems Solved: - Reducing environmental impact by using refrigerants with low GWP - Improving efficiency and performance of vehicle air conditioning systems

Benefits: - Lower environmental footprint - Enhanced cooling performance - Compliance with environmental regulations

Commercial Applications: Title: "Low GWP Refrigerant Technology for Vehicle Air Conditioning Systems" This technology can be used in various vehicle models to improve air conditioning efficiency and reduce environmental impact, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and meeting regulatory standards.

Prior Art: Prior research may include studies on refrigerants with low GWP for various applications, as well as advancements in vehicle air conditioning systems.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest developments in low GWP refrigerants and their applications in vehicle air conditioning systems.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of low GWP refrigerants benefit the environment? - Low GWP refrigerants help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to environmental conservation. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing low GWP refrigerants in vehicle air conditioning systems? - Challenges may include compatibility issues, cost considerations, and regulatory compliance.

Original Abstract Submitted

No studies have been made regarding what kinds of refrigerants should be used in a refrigeration cycle device for a vehicle. An air conditioner () for a vehicle includes a refrigerant circuit () and a refrigerant that is sealed in the refrigerant circuit (). The refrigerant circuit () includes a compressor (), a first heat exchanger (), which serves as a heat dissipater in a dehumidifying heating mode, an outside-air heat exchanger (), a cooling control valve (), and a second heat exchanger (), which serves as an evaporator in the dehumidifying heating mode. The refrigerant is a refrigerant having a low GWP.
