HEAT EXCHANGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18612640 titled 'HEAT EXCHANGER
The abstract describes a heat exchanger with front and rear refrigerant tubes, fins for heat conduction, front and rear headers for refrigerant supply, all extending in different directions.
- Heat exchanger with front and rear refrigerant tubes
- Fins for heat conduction between the tubes
- Front and rear headers for refrigerant supply
- Headers extend parallel to the direction of the fins
- Tubes and headers arranged in specific directions for efficient heat exchange
Potential Applications: - Air conditioning systems - Refrigeration units - Heat pump systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient heat transfer - Improved cooling performance - Enhanced energy efficiency
Benefits: - Increased cooling capacity - Reduced energy consumption - Enhanced overall system performance
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Heat Exchanger Technology for HVAC Systems This technology can be used in various commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration units, and heat pump applications, improving efficiency and performance in cooling and heating processes.
Questions about Heat Exchangers: 1. How does the arrangement of front and rear refrigerant tubes impact heat transfer efficiency?
- The arrangement allows for optimized heat exchange between the refrigerant and the surrounding air, improving overall system performance.
2. What role do the fins play in the heat exchanger's operation?
- The fins conduct heat between the front and rear refrigerant tubes, enhancing the cooling process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A heat exchanger of the present disclosure includes a plurality of front refrigerant tubes through which a refrigerant flows and that extends in a first direction, a plurality of rear refrigerant tubes through which a refrigerant flows and that extends in the first direction and is spaced apart from the plurality of front refrigerant tubes in a second direction crossing the first direction, fins that are disposed between the plurality of front refrigerant tubes and the plurality of rear refrigerant tubes to conduct heat and that extend in a third direction crossing the first direction and the second direction, a pair of front headers that is connected with both ends of the plurality of front refrigerant tubes and supplies a refrigerant, and a pair of rear headers that is connected with both ends of the plurality of rear refrigerant tubes and supplies a refrigerant, wherein the front headers and the rear headers extend in a direction parallel with the third direction.
