Definitions

  • Refrigeration appliance throttle pipe for a refrigeration device and method for its production
  • the invention relates to a refrigeration device, a throttle tube for a refrigeration device, and a method for its production.
  • Refrigerating appliances extract heat from a room with a low temperature level, the interior of the refrigerating appliance, in order to dispense it in a room with a higher temperature level, as a rule in the space surrounding the refrigerating appliance.
  • refrigerants are used, which evaporate at low temperatures.
  • the refrigerant circulates in a closed pipe system, the refrigerant circuit.
  • the refrigerant circuit comprises an evaporator, a compressor (compressor), a condenser (condenser) and a throttle body.
  • the refrigerant evaporates at low pressure and thereby deprives the interior of heat.
  • the resulting gaseous refrigerant is led out of the interior and fed via a so-called intake manifold to the compressor, which compresses it and forwards the compressed and thus increased in its temperature refrigerant to the condenser.
  • the refrigerant releases heat to the ambient air.
  • the liquefied refrigerant then passes through the throttle body, in which the pressure is reduced in the evaporator. The refrigerant cycle starts again.
  • the suction pipe leading to the compressor usually consists of aluminum, since it is formed in one piece with the evaporator.
  • the throttle tube comprises a metal tube which is encased with a plastic layer over at least part of its length.
  • a plastic layer insulates the two tubes very well from one another electrically.
  • plastic is not very thermally conductive, but the plastic layer is chosen to be sufficiently thin, still finds a heat exchange between the intake manifold and throttle pipe instead.
  • the plastic layer is better corrosion resistant than, for example, a galvanically applied zinc layer.
  • the plastic layer can be easily removed from the pipe ends, for example by simply slitting and peeling, which requires no tool other than the fingernail.
  • the pipe ends of the throttle tube must be blank, so that the throttle tube can be mounted on the one hand at the injection point of the evaporator and on the other hand on a drying cartridge or at the outlet of the condenser.

  • the throttle tube is preferably about 30 cm to 3 m long and has an outer diameter of about 0.5-4 mm and an inner diameter of about 0.5-0.8 mm. By varying the length or the inner diameter of the throttle tube, the pressure loss to be achieved can be adjusted.
  • the plastic layer is preferably as thin as possible to produce. It preferably has a thickness of between 20 and 500 .mu.m, preferably between 50 and 300 .mu.m, more preferably between 100 and 200 .mu.m. This ensures that sufficient heat exchange takes place between the throttle tube and the suction tube in contact therewith.
  • the plastic layer preferably comprises a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic or consists entirely of such a plastic, such as PUR (polyurethane), PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene). Particularly preferably, the plastic is extrudable, so that the plastic layer can be applied by co-extrusion on the throttle tube. Such a co-extruded coating can be easily removed without damaging the base material.
  • the plastic layer is doped with a thermally conductive additive material.
  • the plastic material used for the plastic layer graphite powder, less preferably metal powder are buried.
  • the thermally conductive filler may also be zinc oxide, quartz, starch or talc.
  • the throttle tube is preferably in contact with at least a portion of its length in contact with a suction pipe leading to a compressor.
  • a plastic layer arranged on the outside of the throttle tube touches the outside of the suction tube at least at one point, so that a thermal bridge is produced.
  • the section of the throttle tube which is in contact with the suction pipe runs parallel to a section of the suction pipe.
  • the throttle tube it is also possible for the throttle tube to have a plurality of sections which run parallel to a section of the suction tube, namely in that the throttle tube passes through at least one hairpin curve and thus leads past one and the same section of the suction tube with two sections which guide the refrigerant in opposite directions becomes.
  • the portions of the throttle tube and the suction tube in contact with each other are fixed to each other.
  • the attachment can be done for example by a clamp or a suitable adhesive.
  • the respective sections of the throttle tube and the suction tube are secured together by an adhesive tape.
  • the adhesive tape is preferably aligned along the tube axes, so it is glued lengthwise and preferably extends at least substantially over the entire contacting portion of the throttle tube and the suction tube.
  • the refrigerator is preferably a household refrigerator, in particular a refrigerator, a freezer or a fridge-freezer.
  • the invention is also directed to a throttle tube for a refrigerator, wherein the throttle tube comprises a metal tube, which is coated on its outside with a plastic layer.
  • the throttle tube is preferably configured as described above.
  • the invention is also directed to a method for producing a throttle tube, comprising the following steps: providing a metal tube, in particular a tube made of copper or a copper alloy, and coating the outer side of the metal tube by co-extruding with a thermoplastic material.
