Definitions
- the invention relates to a refrigerant collector for a vehicle air conditioning system.
- a refrigerant collector for receiving and dispensing liquid refrigerant within a refrigeration process of a vehicle air conditioning system with special properties for high operating pressures, in particular for the operation of a vehicle air conditioning system that uses CO 2 as the refrigerant.
- refrigerant collectors are cylindrical and with special connection bases, e.g. B., made from domed bobbin lace.
- connection bases e.g. B.
- this design results in a high mass and also large dimensions.
- several welds must be made to fasten the connection bases, which experience has shown that, not least because of the large number of weak points.
- large dimensions and high masses mean that these refrigerant collectors cannot be used in compact small vehicles.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a refrigerant collector of the type mentioned at the outset which, with technically simple means, provides high pressure resistance with a low mass and is also easy to manufacture.
- a refrigerant collector of the type mentioned in that it consists of upper and lower half-shells which are connected to one another by means of a weld seam. This not only reduces the dimensions and the mass of a refrigerant collector, but also the manufacturing time, since only a single weld seam has to be produced.
- the two half-shells can be both concave and hemispherical, these half-shells being arranged vertically one above the other.
- the concave or hemispherical design of the lower half-shell advantageously causes the separated liquid to converge in the lowest point of the container.
- Both half-shells can consist of both plastic and metal, although half-shells made of metal can withstand higher pressure.
- the upper half-shell has a separator pipe which is passed through the wall of the upper half-shell and is provided with a pipe connection lying outside the upper half-shell on one inlet side.
- the upper half-shell has a pipe connection for a mixing tube on an outlet side, which runs through the deepest area of the lower half-shell and back into the upper half-shell, it is also no longer possible for the medium to enter the mixing tube.
- the mixing tube has at least one tube bore facing the wall of the lower half-shell in the deepest region of the lower half-shell, it is possible that in this way an almost complete suction of the separated refrigerant takes place.
- the mixing tube has at least one bore above the maximum expected level of a liquid sump. This ensures that the function known from collectors ensures that a mixture of liquid and gaseous media is produced at the outlet.
- the respective diameters of the at least one pipe bore and the at least one bore are dimensioned such that a mixing ratio of the liquid mass drawn in from the liquid sump and the gas mass flowing through is established, which is almost independent of the mass flow rate through the mixing pipe.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section in the vertical direction through a cold collector.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section in the horizontal direction through the refrigerant collector according to FIG. 1.
- a refrigerant collector 1 consists of two concave or hemispherical half shells 5 and 6, namely an upper half shell 5 and a lower half shell 6, which are connected to one another only by a single weld 7.
- the concave design of the lower half-shell 6 advantageously causes the separated liquid to converge at the lowest point of the refrigerant collector 1.
- One end of a separator tube 3 is passed through the wall of the upper half shell 5 and connected to a pipe connection 2a on an inlet side 8a.
- One end of a mixing tube 4 is passed through the wall of the upper half-shell 5 and connected to a tube connection 2b on an outlet side 8b.
- This mixing tube 4 is guided downward from the tube connection 2b to the deepest area or lowest point of the lower half-shell 6 and from there back into the upper half-shell 5.
- One or more tube bores 9 are advantageously provided in a lower region of curvature of the mixing tube 4. It is possible that a bore opening is located at the lowest point of the pipe curvature of the mixing pipe 4 at a short distance above the lowest point of the bottom of the lower half-shell 6. In this way, the separated refrigerant is almost completely extracted.
- the mixing tube 4 advantageously has a further bore 10 above a maximum expected liquid level.
- the end of the pipe section 3 located inside the refrigerant collector 1 is advantageously laterally bent. This ensures that an entering medium 11 can not enter the mixing tube 4, the jet-entering medium 11 is directed to the inner wall of the refrigerant collector 1, the liquid components are separated thereby and the foaming of separated liquid in a liquid sump 12 is avoided by the incoming jet becomes.
- the respective diameter of the tube bore 9 and the bore 10 of the mixing tube 4 can be dimensioned such that a mixing ratio of the liquid mass drawn in from the liquid sump 12 and the gas mass flowing through is almost independent of the mass throughput through the mixing tube 4.
