Definitions
- the present invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner that uses CO2 refrigerant.
- an air conditioner that uses CO2 refrigerant ensures the comfort of heating by raising the discharge air temperature during heating operation close to the compressor discharge temperature.
- structural improvements to promote heat exchange have been made in a heat exchanger (gas cooler) that includes fins and heat transfer tubes.
- a method is employed which accelerates the refrigerant flow rate by making the cross section of heat transfer tubes on the downstream side of the refrigerant flow during heating operation smaller than the cross section of other heat transfer tubes, and thereby activates heat transfer from the refrigerant by the effect of turbulent flow (for example, see JPH10176867 (A)).
- Heat exchangers according to the state of the art are disclosed in JP 63 012081 U , JP 10 274490 A , and US 2007/ 023744 A1 .

- the outdoor heat exchanger 4 functions as a gas cooler, and the indoor heat exchanger 6 functions as an evaporator.

- the temperature of the refrigerant drops from the point B on the discharge side of the compressor 2 to the point C on the refrigerant outlet side of the indoor heat exchanger 6. Accordingly, the temperature distribution on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 6 is such that the temperature on the upstream side of the refrigerant flow is higher and the temperature on the downstream side thereof is lower.

- the refrigerant flows separately into the six heat transfer tubes 12 in the row 72 and flows out from the six heat transfer tubes 12 in the row 61 through six passages 81 to 86. In this way, because the refrigerant circulates separately through the plurality of passages 81 to 86, the difference in temperature between the refrigerant and the air is appropriately maintained throughout the radiation process, and the amount of heat exchanged with the airflow increases.

Thereby, the heat on the surface of the plate fins 11 is prevented from transferring over divided portions 13. Thus, the surface temperature on the plate fins 11 is maintained high and the amount of heat exchanged with the airflow increases.
