Description

Liquid cooling condenser

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of liquid-cooled condenser apparatus, and more particularly to a liquid-cooled condenser having a fluid valve directly mounted thereon.

Background

Thermal management systems for regulating the temperature of a working fluid inside a vehicle, such as the coolant of an air conditioning system, exist, both in conventional fuel-powered vehicles and in new energy vehicles, where the wind head is currently prevailing. As an important component of thermal management systems, liquid-cooled condensers are used to increase the temperature of the cooling liquid to provide a source of heat for other systems within the vehicle, such as air conditioning systems. Currently, a conventional liquid-cooled condenser usually connects a core of the liquid-cooled condenser and a fluid valve through a fluid pipeline, and a pressure drop is generated when refrigerant flows through the fluid pipeline, so that the total pressure drop in the system is large.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid-cooled condenser which can reduce not only the total pressure drop in the system but also the space occupied by installing the liquid-cooled condenser, which can be easily assembled and manufactured.

Further, since no fluid line exists between the core and the fluid valve of the liquid-cooled condenser, the liquid-cooled condenser is easier to assemble and manufacture, and the space occupied by installing the liquid-cooled condenser is smaller.

In one embodiment, the liquid cooled condenser core is provided with a first inlet, a first outlet, a second inlet and a second outlet, the first inlet and the first outlet being in fluid communication and forming a first fluid passageway, the second inlet and the second outlet being in fluid communication and forming a second fluid passageway.

In one embodiment, the fluid valve includes a third inlet into which the connecting tube enters when the fluid valve is fixedly coupled to the valve mount.

In one embodiment, the fluid valve further comprises a third outlet and a fourth outlet.

In one embodiment, the fluid valve is further provided with a first threaded hole extending vertically through the fluid valve, and the valve mounting member is further provided with a second threaded hole, the fluid valve being removably attached to the valve mounting member by bolts threaded into the first and second threaded holes, thereby removably attaching to the liquid cooled condenser core.
