Definitions

  • the transfer line has been arranged according to the invention within the manifold.
  • the compactness is further improved when a transfer line disposed within the manifold is selected.
  • This may be an approximately coaxial tube.
  • the manifold could be divided in the transfer line but also only by a wall.
  • the refrigerant leaves the condenser 30 in the fully liquefied and supercooled state.
  • the sections of the condenser 30 shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 are therefore in the stage 1 by several stages, which are connected upstream, as can be seen in principle from FIGS. 2 and 6.
  • the steps 1 , 2 are formed by the appropriate arrangement of partitions 7 in the headers 3 and 5 .
  • the refrigerant 25 enters the condenser 30 through the inlet and outlet flange 26 . It flows through several stages 1 before it enters the transfer line 10 through the inlet opening 27 . Through the transfer line 10 , the entire refrigerant 25 is guided past the stage 2 and transferred to the collector 4 .
  • FIG. 4 shows an alternative to the embodiment not according to the invention. In some cases it may be necessary to place the collector 4 slightly in front of or behind the plane 33 of the tube-fin block of the condenser 30 . The collector 4 is then offset by the distance 32 from the plane 33 to the front or rear, but otherwise identical to the non-inventive training.
  • the refrigerant 25 enters the condenser 30 through the inlet and outlet flange 26 . It flows through several stages 1 before it enters the transfer line 10 through the inlet opening 27 .
  • the manifold 3 was enlarged on the collector 4 side facing 35 in diameter. Before the last partition wall 7 in the manifold 3 , the manifold 3 has been widened to accommodate the transfer line 10 so that the returning refrigerant 25 undergoes no unnecessary pressure loss through a too narrow manifold 3 . In addition, the installation of the transfer line 10 is easier to accomplish.
