Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator, particularly for domestic use, comprising a compressor, an evaporator and an improved condenser for liquifying a refrigerant provenient from the compressor in a gaseous state and feeding it to the evaporator in the liquid state.
  • Known condensers are generally secured to the rear wall of the refrigerator and are formed of tubular conduits bent to a meander configuration having elements for augmenting its heat-exchange surface brazed thereto, such as louvred metal sheets, wires or ribs of various types.
  • the possibilities of dimensional adaptation to various refrigerator production models are limited not only by the constant pitch of the meander configuration, but also by the standard width of the louvred sheets which have to be variably dimensioned between one model and the other,, whereby their manufacture is undesirably diversified.
  • the louvred sheets are generally applied to the condenser tube in the form of vertically extending strips welded or brazed to each other along their abutting edges. This manner of securing the louvred sheets results in variations of the contact areas between the louvred sheets and the condenser tube and thus in a non-uniform distribution of the heat-exchange coefficient.
  • tubes provided with integrally formed internal and/or external ribs or fins projecting in darial directions and extending parallel to the axis of the tube or along helical lines.
  • Another object of the invention is the provision of a condenser of the type defined above which is capable of dissipating the varying amounts of heat generated by refrigerating appliances of different capacity without the need for louvres, wires or fins.
  • a still further object is to eliminate the need for any welding operations in the manufacture of a condenser of the type defined above so as to simplify its manufacture, avoid the employ of specialized personnel and permit the application of various anti-corrosion treatments more efficient than the conventional varnish coating.
  • a refrigerator particularly for domestic use, comprising a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser adapted to transmit an elevated temperature between a fluid circulating internally thereof and an external fluid of natural circulation, and to be secured to the outer rear wall of the refrigerator, by providing that said condenser is formed substantially integrally of a tube having smooth internal and external surfaces and bent to a meander configuration having a circular cross-sectional shape at its bent portions and an elliptic cross-sectional shape at its rectilinear portions.
  • FIG. 1 Shown in fig. 1 is an exemplary embodiment of a domestic refrigerator 5 according to the invention provided with a condenser 4 secured to its outer rear wall.
  • Condenser 4 is connected between a compressor.6 and an evaporator 7 of a conventional refrigerating circuit and is formed substantially in one piece of a tube 8 (fig. 2) having smooth internal and external surfaces and being bent to a meander configuration extending in a substantially vertical plane.
  • Tube 8 is of circular cross-sectional shape 9 (fig. 3) at its bent portions 10, while its rectilinear portions 11 are of substantially elliptic cross-sectional shape 12.
  • meander configuration 8 may be formed of a simple metal tube 8 the diameter of which is considerably greater than that of a tube employed for forming a conventional condenser.
  • Tube 8 is made to pass between two oppositely disposed cylindric rolls the spacing of which is reduced at predetermined intervals so as to deform the circular cross-sectional shape 9 of tube 8 to an elliptic cross-sectional shape 12 along predetermined longitudinal portions, the cross-sectional area enclosed by these sections being substantially equal to that of the tubes of conventional condensers provided -with louvres or wires.
  • the portions of tube 8 having circular cross-sectional shape 9 are relatively short and located at predetermined intervals corresponding to bent portions 10 of tube 8, while rectilinear portions 11 extending between bent portions 10 are of elliptic cross-sectional shape 12 and constitute the major part of the length of tube 8.
  • the condenser according to the invention is capable of dissipating the same amount of heat, although its outer heat exchange surface is smaller.
  • the condenser according to the invention may be secured to the frame of refrigerator 5 by means of two lateral supports 13, 14 (figs. 1 and 2) of substantially U-shaped cross-sectional configuration (fig. 3), adapted to be compressed into clamping engagement with the circular cross-sectional shape 9 of bent portions 10 of tube 8 so as to be secured thereto without welding or brazing.
  • Supports 13 and 14 each comprise at least two metal lugs 15, 16 and 17, 18, respectively, formed integrally therewith or welded thereto, these lugs being formed with suitable perforations for the passage of threaded fasteners or rivets or the like (not shown) for securing the assembly to the frame of refrigerator 5.
  • lugs 15 to 18 may be formed of a synthetic resin or the like and attached to supports 13, 14 by snap-engagement therewith.
  • the condenser according to the invention lends itself to being manufactured by a manufacturing process which may be carried out in a simple manner with a minimum employ of manual labour and equipment and which is capable of being completely automatized.
  • the tube may be subjected to anti-corrosion treatments, for example zinc or chromium plating, which are considerably more efficient than a simple varnish coating.
  • condenser 4 without any procecting components permits condenser 4 according to the invention to be mounted in a perpendicular position.
  • this configuration of condenser.4 results in a considerably dimensional flexibility, reduced space requirements and optimum stability characteristics.
  • the ends of tube 8 may be reduced in diameter in a per se known manner, permitting them to be connected, as by brazing, to other conduits of smaller diameter.
  • the ends of tube 8 may be provided with connector elements such as internal and/or external sleeves, bushings or the like.
