Definitions
- the invention relates to an evaporator of an air conditioner for a motor vehicle according to claim 1.
- the usual today evaporator such as disc evaporator and flat tube evaporator are installed vertically in the air conditioner or the vehicle, ie with vertical tubes.
- Common flat tube evaporator, z. B. known by the DE-A 198 26 881 the applicant, are formed in two rows, ie with two rows of flat tubes, which are successively or successively flowed around by air.
- the ends of the headers open into headers, which are each divided into two chambers which receive the ends of the flat tubes.
- the refrigerant is deflected once in the depth, that is opposite to the direction of air flow in double-flow.
- Such flat tube evaporators have a height H, measured in the longitudinal direction of the tubes, and a width B, measured transversely to the tube longitudinal direction.
- the product of height H and width B gives the face of the evaporator.
- the refrigerant can - in addition to the deflection in the depth - be deflected in width.
- This evaporator design is known to have a height to width ratio of about 0.5 to 2.0, that is, for the lowest evaporators of this type, the height is about half the width.
- the invention provides a horizontal evaporator, in which the flow channels are arranged approximately horizontally in the installation position and the lateral collecting chambers are arranged approximately vertically or flowed through.
- Vertical does not mean strictly vertical, since the evaporators in air conditioners are sometimes arranged slightly inclined. Such an arrangement should also be encompassed by the term approximately vertically.
- a ratio of height to width in the range of 1: 3 to 1: 6 or a ratio of width to height in the range of about 3 to 6 and more, that is advantageously up to 7, 8, 9m or 10 or more can be realized without the performance of the evaporator decreases.
- Opposite the Construction with vertical flow channels even results in a performance gain.
- the advantage of a smaller number of parts over the known construction with vertical flow channels since the inventive evaporator longer, but has fewer tubes or flow channels. This reduces the manufacturing costs.
- the evaporator is designed as a disk or flat tube evaporator, wherein the flat tube evaporator proves to be particularly advantageous. It can in principle be built with almost the same or similar components as the aforementioned prior art of the applicant - but in a horizontal design with correspondingly low height and large width. By arranging partition walls in the collecting tanks, a double or multiple flooding with deflection of the refrigerant in the depth and the height can be made possible, which causes a favorable temperature distribution for the exiting air from the evaporator.
- the injection of the refrigerant takes place in the underlying tubes or in the underlying of the collection chamber.
- the refrigerant is then aspirated in the upper region in the vaporous or superheated state. This makes it possible to operate the evaporator according to the invention also with a conventional expansion valve.
- the inlet and outlet openings can both be arranged at the bottom of a collection box, then the overflow openings for the deflection of the refrigerant in the depth in the upper region of the vertical partition. This prevents liquid refrigerant from being sucked out.
- the inlet and outlet openings can both be arranged at the top of a collecting box, then the overflow openings for the deflection of the refrigerant in the depth in the lower region of the vertical partition. This ensures that only vaporous refrigerant is sucked out.
- spray water grids for collecting the sprayed condensed water can be arranged on the air outlet end region of the evaporator.
- At least one or more recesses are provided, such as a plurality of elongated recesses. It may be expedient if the recesses are arranged in the side part substantially on the down or on the outflow side. In another embodiment, it may also be expedient if the recess / the recesses lie on the inflow side or at least partially over both regions, that is to say outflow side or inlet or inflow side.
- Fig. 1, 1st A and 1 b show a double-row, double-flow flowed through flat-tube evaporator 1 in a horizontal installation position, that is with lying flat tubes, in a view from below.
- the air flow direction is indicated by the arrow L.
- Fig. 1a shows the evaporator 1 with respect to its end face, which is defined by the height H and the width B.
- the front side of the evaporator 1 shows a total of ten flat tubes 2, between which corrugated fins 3 are arranged.
- the flat tubes 2 open on both sides in collecting tanks 4, 5, which are each divided by a longitudinal partition wall 6 into two chambers 7, 8 (the subdivision of the chamber 5 is in Fig. 1 and 1 a not recognizable).
- the first flat tube row 9 opens into the chamber 7 and the opposite (concealed), while the second flat tube row 10 (hidden), represented by arrows 10, in the chamber 8 and the opposite chamber (hidden) opens.
- the lying in the installation position side panel 12 has three elongated recesses 13, which partially share the view of the first row of flat tubes 9. These recesses 13 are provided for the drainage of condensate, which forms in humid air on the evaporator surface.
- the evaporator 1 has two refrigerant connections, namely a refrigerant inlet 14 and a refrigerant outlet 15, which are connected via a refrigerant supply line 16 and a refrigerant discharge line 17 to an expansion valve 18 ( Fig. 1b ).
- the injection of the refrigerant is thus at the bottom of the evaporator 1, and first in the air flow direction (arrow L) lying behind pipe row 10 is flowed through by refrigerant.
- the refrigerant then passes into the rear chamber 8 of the collecting tank 4.
- In the Partition 6 are arranged through openings 19, through which the refrigerant in the upstream in the direction of air flow chamber 7 (deflection in depth). From there it enters the front row of flat tubes 9 and then into the collecting box 5, the rear chamber 5a and front chamber 5b in Fig. 1b are recognizable.
- the refrigerant is sucked in the upper region of the chamber 5b via the connecting piece 15.
- the flat tube evaporator 1 is - as already mentioned - lying, so as shown in the drawing, installed in the air conditioning of the motor vehicle and the air to be cooled in the direction of the arrow L flows. In this respect results for the flow between refrigerant and air, a cross counterflow.
- the flat tube evaporator has in the illustrated embodiment, a width B of 500 mm, which width includes the two headers 4, 5 with.
- the height H of the evaporator is 120 mm. This results in a ratio of width B to height H of 4.16.
- the Figure 1c shows an evaporator in a view from below, in which the same reference numerals are used in the same components, as in FIG. 1 a.
- the openings 13 'for condensate drain on the other side in comparison to the embodiment of FIG. 1a are arranged.
- the outlet 13 for the condensate arranged on the air inflow side in the side part is the outlet 13 for the condensate arranged on the air inflow side in the side part, whereas in the embodiment of the Figure 1c the drain 13 'is arranged on the outflow side or outflow side in the side part.
- the drain for condensate condensing on the surface of the evaporator may also be on both the upstream and downstream sides of the side member.
- the recesses are formed by elongated cutouts, but they can also be designed as round cutouts or other cutouts.
- Fig. 2 shows a modified embodiment of a flat tube evaporator tube 20 in a schematic representation, ie tubes and ribs are not shown, but essentially replaced by flow arrows.
- the flat tube evaporator 20 has - similar to the embodiment according to Fig. 1 - A horizontal flat tube bundle 21, which has a front tube bundle half 21 a and a rear tube bundle half 21 b. However, the air flowing through the flat tube evaporator 20 in the direction of the arrow L, but first meets the rear flat tube bundle half 21 b.
- On both sides of the flat tube bundle 21 collector boxes 22, 23 are arranged, in which open the flat tubes, not shown, of the bundle 21.
- the left in the drawing collection box 22 is divided by a continuous, vertically arranged partition wall 24 in a front chamber 22a and in a rear chamber 22b, wherein the front chamber 22a has an inlet opening 25 and the rear chamber 22b has an outlet opening 26 for the refrigerant , Inlet and outlet openings 25, 26 are thus both on the lower side of the flat tube evaporator 20, which is in the position as shown in the drawing, installed in the vehicle.
- the right in the drawing collection box 23 has a vertically arranged partition wall 27, which divides the collection box 23 into a front chamber 23 a and 23 b in a rear chamber.
- the partition wall 27 has in its upper region, preferably in its upper half, three overflow openings 28 which connect the two adjacent chambers 23a, 23b to one another (fewer or more openings are also possible).
- the flat tube evaporator 20 is traversed by double-flow of refrigerant, in the following manner: the refrigerant enters the direction of the arrow E via the opening 25 in the front chamber 22 a and then flows through the front tube bundle 21 a, the arrows V, in the Chamber 23a on the right side of the evaporator 20.
- the refrigerant enters the chamber 23a in a liquid state and partially becomes en route to the chamber 23a evaporates, that is, a portion of the inflowing into the chamber 23 a refrigerant is still liquid. Therefore, the overflow openings 28 are arranged in the upper portion of the partition wall 27, so that an overflow of liquid refrigerant from the front chamber 23 a into the rear chamber 23 b is prevented.
- refrigerant predominantly passes through the overflow openings 28 into the chamber 23b in the vapor state - here, in the direction of the arrow U, the deflection of the refrigerant takes place "in the depth", ie counter to the air flow direction L.
- the refrigerant then enters the chamber 23b the rear tube bundle 21 b and flows through this in the direction of arrow R until it enters the outlet chamber 22b. From there, the refrigerant exits in the vapor state through the outlet opening 26 in the lower region of the chamber 22 b from the flat tube evaporator 20.
- FIG. 2 A further, not shown embodiment of the flat tube evaporator is possible, with the top inlet E and outlet A (corresponding Fig. 2 ).
- the evaporator 20 according to Fig. 2 would be rotated about its longitudinal axis by 180 °, so that the inlet opening 25 and the outlet opening 26 would be at the top and the overflow openings 28 would come to lie in the lower half of the partition wall 27.
- the liquid refrigerant would then remain substantially at the bottom of the evaporator, so that only vaporous refrigerant would be sucked.
- Fig. 3 shows a performance comparison between conventional evaporator design with vertical tubes and inventive design with horizontal tubes.
- the performance of the evaporator is applied over the installed face including the collector - based on the FIGS. 1a and 2a
- the end face corresponds to the product B x H.
- the solid curve K clearly below the curve E, refers to evaporators of conventional construction, ie with vertical tubes, horizontally extending headers within a ratio of B to H of 2.9 to 5.4.
- the reduced power compared to the construction according to the invention results from a multiplicity of refrigerant deflections and the resulting refrigerant-side pressure drop.
- Fig. 4 shows another diagram in which the specific usable space, ie the ratio of usable space to installation space is plotted over the free end face (this is the product B 'x H, where B' is the width reduced by the height of the collecting boxes)
- the upper dashed curve E corresponds to the construction according to the invention
- the underlying horizontally extending curve K corresponds to the conventional construction with vertical tubes.
- Fig. 5 shows another diagram in which the air-side pressure drop across the evaporator is plotted over the total end face including the surface of the collector.
- the dashed line E again the inventive and the solid line K denotes the conventional Construction.
- the pressure drop for the invention is therefore much cheaper. This advantage in favor of the invention results in turn due to the lower proportions of the collecting boxes on the entire end face in the invention.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verdampfer einer Klimaanlage für ein Kraftfahrzeug nach Patentanspruch 1. Die heute üblichen Verdampfer wie Scheibenverdampfer und Flachrohrverdampfer werden senkrecht in die Klimaanlage bzw. das Fahrzeug eingebaut, d. h. mit senkrecht verlaufenden Rohren. Gängige Flachrohrverdampfer, z. B. bekannt durch die

Ein technisches Problem ergibt sich dann, wenn man aufgrund bestimmter Einbauforderungen des Fahrzeugherstellers das Verhältnis von Verdampferhöhe zu Verdampferbreite weiter verringern will, d. h. Verdampfer niedriger Höhe und relativ großer Breite benötigt. Der Anteil der Sammelkästen an der Stirnfläche würde diese überproportional reduzieren. Um eine gleichmäßige Temperaturverteilung am Luftaustritt eines solchen Verdampfers zu erhalten, müsste das Kältemittel mehrfach in der Breite umgelenkt werden, was zu erheblichem kältemittelseitigen Druckverlust führen würde. Daher sind dieser Bauart Grenzen bezüglich der Verringerung der Verdampferhöhe bei etwa gleicher Stirnfläche gesetzt. Gleiches gilt prinzipiell für die Scheibenverdampfer.A technical problem arises when you want to further reduce the ratio of evaporator height to evaporator width due to certain installation requirements of the vehicle manufacturer, d. H. Evaporator low height and relatively large width needed. The proportion of collection boxes on the face would reduce this disproportionately. In order to obtain a uniform temperature distribution at the air outlet of such an evaporator, the refrigerant would have to be deflected several times in width, which would lead to considerable refrigerant side pressure loss. Therefore, this design limits are set with respect to the reduction of the evaporator height at about the same end face. The same applies in principle for the disk evaporator.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Verdampfer der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der über eine geringere Bauhöhe bei gleich bleibender Stirnfläche und gleicher Leistung verfügt, möglichst bei günstigem Temperaturprofil.It is an object of the present invention to provide an evaporator of the type mentioned, which has a lower overall height with the same end face and the same power, if possible at a favorable temperature profile.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1. Die Erfindung sieht einen liegenden Verdampfer vor, bei dem die Strömungskanäle in Einbaulage etwa horizontal und die seitlichen Sammelkammern etwa vertikal angeordnet bzw. durchströmt sind. Vertikal bedeutet jedoch nicht streng vertikal, da die Verdampfer in Klimaanlagen zum Teil auch etwas geneigt angeordnet werden. Eine solche Anordnung soll auch von dem Begriff etwa vertikal umfaßt sein. Durch diese Bauweise kann ein Verhältnis von Höhe zu Breite im Bereich von 1 : 3 bis 1 : 6 bzw. ein Verhältnis von Breite zu Höhe im Bereich von ca. 3 bis 6 und mehr, das heißt vorteilhaft auch bis 7, 8, 9m oder 10 oder mehr, realisiert werden, ohne dass die Leistung des Verdampfers abnimmt. Gegenüber der Bauweise mit senkrechten Strömungskanälen ergibt sich sogar ein Leistungsgewinn. Ferner ergibt sich gegenüber der bekannten Bauweise mit senkrechten Strömungskanälen der Vorteil einer geringeren Teilezahl, da der erfindungsgemäße Verdampfer längere, aber weniger Rohre bzw. Strömungskanäle aufweist. Dies reduziert somit die Fertigungskosten.The invention provides a horizontal evaporator, in which the flow channels are arranged approximately horizontally in the installation position and the lateral collecting chambers are arranged approximately vertically or flowed through. Vertical, however, does not mean strictly vertical, since the evaporators in air conditioners are sometimes arranged slightly inclined. Such an arrangement should also be encompassed by the term approximately vertically. By this construction, a ratio of height to width in the range of 1: 3 to 1: 6 or a ratio of width to height in the range of about 3 to 6 and more, that is advantageously up to 7, 8, 9m or 10 or more can be realized without the performance of the evaporator decreases. Opposite the Construction with vertical flow channels even results in a performance gain. Furthermore, the advantage of a smaller number of parts over the known construction with vertical flow channels, since the inventive evaporator longer, but has fewer tubes or flow channels. This reduces the manufacturing costs.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Verdampfer als Scheiben- oder Flachrohrverdampfer ausgebildet, wobei sich der Flachrohrverdampfer als besonders vorteilhaft erweist. Er kann prinzipiell mit nahezu den gleichen oder ähnlichen Bauteilen wie beim eingangs erwähnten Stand der Technik der Anmelderin gebaut werden - allerdings in liegender Bauweise mit entsprechend niedriger Höhe und großer Breite. Durch Anordnung von Trennwänden in den Sammelkästen kann eine zwei- oder mehrfache Durchflutung mit Umlenkung des Kältemittels in der Tiefe und der Höhe ermöglicht werden, was eine günstige Temperaturverteilung für die aus dem Verdampfer austretende Luft bewirkt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the evaporator is designed as a disk or flat tube evaporator, wherein the flat tube evaporator proves to be particularly advantageous. It can in principle be built with almost the same or similar components as the aforementioned prior art of the applicant - but in a horizontal design with correspondingly low height and large width. By arranging partition walls in the collecting tanks, a double or multiple flooding with deflection of the refrigerant in the depth and the height can be made possible, which causes a favorable temperature distribution for the exiting air from the evaporator.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung erfolgt die Einspritzung des Kältemittels in die unten liegenden Rohre bzw. in den unten liegenden der Sammelkammer. Vorteilhafterweise wird das Kältemittel dann im oberen Bereich im dampfförmigen bzw. überhitzten Zustand abgesaugt. Damit ist es möglich, den erfindungsgemäßen Verdampfer auch mit einem herkömmlichen Expansionsventil zu betreiben.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the injection of the refrigerant takes place in the underlying tubes or in the underlying of the collection chamber. Advantageously, the refrigerant is then aspirated in the upper region in the vaporous or superheated state. This makes it possible to operate the evaporator according to the invention also with a conventional expansion valve.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung können die Ein- und Austrittsöffnungen beide unten an einem Sammelkasten angeordnet sein, dann liegen die Überströmöffnungen für die Umlenkung des Kältemittels in der Tiefe im oberen Bereich der senkrechten Trennwand. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass flüssiges Kältemittel abgesaugt wird.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the inlet and outlet openings can both be arranged at the bottom of a collection box, then the overflow openings for the deflection of the refrigerant in the depth in the upper region of the vertical partition. This prevents liquid refrigerant from being sucked out.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung können die Ein- und Austrittsöffnungen beide oben an einem Sammelkasten angeordnet sein, dann liegen die Überströmöffnungen für die Umlenkung des Kältemittels in der Tiefe im unteren Bereich der senkrechten Trennwand. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass nur dampfförmiges Kältemittel abgesaugt wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the inlet and outlet openings can both be arranged at the top of a collecting box, then the overflow openings for the deflection of the refrigerant in the depth in the lower region of the vertical partition. This ensures that only vaporous refrigerant is sucked out.
Nach der Erfindung weist der Verdampfer Seitenteile auf, wobei das unten liegende Seitenteil Aussparungen für den Kondensatablauf aufweist. Da die Flachrohre horizontal liegen, wird das sich bei feuchter Luft bildende Kondensat durch den Luftstrom mitgenommen. Zwischen den Flachrohrreihen kann es - der Schwerkraft folgend - nach unten abtropfen und durch die Aussparungen ablaufen. Damit wird unangenehmer Verdampfergeruch vermieden. Darüber hinaus können am luftaustrittsseitigen Stirnbereich des Verdampfers Spritzwassergitter zum Auffangen des abspritzenden Kondenswassers angeordnet sein.According to the invention, the evaporator on side parts, wherein the lower side part has recesses for the condensate drain. Since the flat tubes are horizontal, the condensation forming in humid air is carried along by the air flow. Between the rows of flat tubes, it can - following the principle of gravity - drip down and drain through the recesses. This avoids unpleasant evaporator odor. In addition, spray water grids for collecting the sprayed condensed water can be arranged on the air outlet end region of the evaporator.
Dabei kann es vorteilhaft sein, daß über die Länge des Seitenteils betrachtet zumindest eine oder auch mehrere Aussparungen vorgesehen sind, wie beispielsweise eine Mehrzahl von länglichen Aussparungen. Dabei kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenn die Aussparungen im Seitenteil im Wesentlichen auf der Ab- bzw. auf der Ausströmseite angeordnet sind. Bei einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel kann es auch zweckmäßig sein, wenn die Aussparung/die Aussparungen auf der Einströmseite liegen oder auch über beide Bereiche zumindest teilweise, also Ausströmseite oder An- oder Einströmseite, liegen.It may be advantageous that viewed over the length of the side part, at least one or more recesses are provided, such as a plurality of elongated recesses. It may be expedient if the recesses are arranged in the side part substantially on the down or on the outflow side. In another embodiment, it may also be expedient if the recess / the recesses lie on the inflow side or at least partially over both regions, that is to say outflow side or inlet or inflow side.

Der Flachrohrverdampfer 1 wird - wie bereits erwähnt - liegend, also wie in der Zeichnung dargestellt, in die Klimaanlage des Kraftfahrzeuges eingebaut und von der abzukühlenden Luft in Richtung des Pfeils L angeströmt. Insofern ergibt sich für die Strömung zwischen Kältemittel und Luft ein Kreuzgegenstrom. Der Flachrohrverdampfer weist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Breite B von 500 mm auf, wobei diese Breite die beiden Sammelkästen 4, 5 mit einschließt. Die Höhe H des Verdampfers beträgt 120 mm. Daraus ergibt sich ein Verhältnis von Breite B zu Höhe H von 4,16.The
Verdampfer dieser Bauart weisen vorteilhafterweise Höhen im Bereich von H = 65 - 142 mm, vorzugsweise von H = 98 - 120 mm auf.Evaporators of this type advantageously have heights in the range of H = 65 - 142 mm, preferably of H = 98 - 120 mm.
Die
Bei einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel kann der Ablauf für ein Kondensat, das auf der Oberfläche des Verdampfers kondensiert, auch sowohl auf der An- als auch auf der Abströmseite des Seitenteils liegen.In another embodiment, the drain for condensate condensing on the surface of the evaporator may also be on both the upstream and downstream sides of the side member.
Vorteilhaft sind die Aussparungen durch längliche Ausschnitte gebildet, sie können aber auch als runde Ausschnitte oder anderweitige Ausschnitte ausgebildet sein.Advantageously, the recesses are formed by elongated cutouts, but they can also be designed as round cutouts or other cutouts.
Der Flachrohrverdampfer 20 wird zweiflutig von Kältemittel durchströmt, und zwar in folgender Weise: das Kältemittel tritt in Richtung des Pfeils E über die Öffnung 25 in die vordere Kammer 22a ein und strömt dann durch das vordere Rohrbündel 21 a, den Pfeilen V folgend, in die Kammer 23a auf der rechten Seite des Verdampfers 20. Das Kältemittel tritt in flüssigem Zustand in die Kammer 23a ein und wird auf dem Wege zur Kammer 23a teilweise verdampft, d. h. ein Teil des in die Kammer 23a einströmenden Kältemittels ist noch flüssig. Daher sind die Überströmöffnungen 28 im oberen Bereich der Trennwand 27 angeordnet, so dass ein Überströmen von flüssigem Kältemittel von der vorderen Kammer 23a in die hintere Kammer 23b verhindert wird. Durch die Überströmöffnungen 28 tritt somit vorwiegend Kältemittel in dampfförmigem Zustand in die Kammer 23b über - hier erfolgt also in Richtung des Pfeils U die Umlenkung des Kältemittels "in der Tiefe", d. h. entgegen der Luftströmungsrichtung L. Aus der Kammer 23b tritt das Kältemittel dann in das hintere Rohrbündel 21 b ein und durchströmt dieses in Richtung des Pfeils R, bis es in die Austrittskammer 22b gelangt. Von dort tritt das Kältemittel in dampfförmigem Zustand durch die Austrittsöffnung 26 im unteren Bereich der Kammer 22b aus dem Flachrohrverdampfer 20 aus.The
Durch diese Anordnung, d. h. die in der Trennwand 27 oben angeordneten Überströmöffnungen 28 bei unten liegendem Ein- und Auslass E, A wird erreicht, dass nur dampfförmiges Kältemittel abgesaugt wird und somit eine Regelung über ein herkömmliches Expansionsventil möglich ist.By this arrangement, d.

Die aus dem Flachrohrverdampfer austretende Luft führt einen Teil des Kondensats, welches sich auf der Verdampferoberfläche bildet, mit sich, was zu unerwünschtem Spritzwasser führen würde. Aus diesem Grunde ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in Luftströmungsrichtung L hinter dem Verdampfer ein an sich bekanntes, hier nicht dargestelltes Spritzwassergitter angeordnet wäre, welches das Spritzwasser auffängt und nach unten ableitet bzw. abtropfen lässt.The air emerging from the flat tube evaporator carries with it part of the condensate which forms on the evaporator surface, which would lead to undesirable splashing water. For this reason, it is advantageous if in the air flow direction L behind the evaporator, a per se known, not shown here spray water grate would be arranged, which collects the spray and drains down or can drain.
