Bevorzugt ist die zweite Kammer durch den Boden des Sammelbehälters und ein Dichtungselement, insbesondere Dichtungsteller oder gelötete Scheibe, das an einem Filter- und/oder Trocknerelement angeordnet ist, gebildet.Preferably, the second chamber is formed by the bottom of the collecting container and a sealing element, in particular seal plate or soldered disc, which is arranged on a filter and / or dryer element.
Bevorzugt sind die Rohre und die Sammelrohre derart verbunden, dass die Rohre einen Kondensationsbereich und einen Unterkühlbereich bilden, wobei mindestens ein Strömungspfad durch die Rohre des Kondensationsbereichs und mindestens ein Strömungspfad durch die Rohre des Unterkühlbereichs verläuft.Preferably, the tubes and the manifolds are connected such that the tubes form a condensation region and a subcooling region, wherein at least one flow path extends through the tubes of the condensation region and at least one flow path through the tubes of the subcooling region.
Besonders bevorzugt weisen die Eintrittsöffnung und/oder die Austrittsöffnung einen Flansch auf, der mit dem ersten Sammelrohr, mit dem Sammelbehälter oder mit beiden verbunden ist.Particularly preferably, the inlet opening and / or the outlet opening to a flange which is connected to the first manifold, with the reservoir or with both.

Bevorzugt sind die Einlass- und/oder die Auslassöffnung am ersten Sammelrohr derart angeordnet, dass ihre Mittelachse rechtwinklig zum Verlauf der Rohre verläuft.Preferably, the inlet and / or the outlet opening are arranged on the first manifold so that their central axis is perpendicular to the course of the tubes.
Bevorzugt erstreckt sich der Sammelbehälter in Bezug zur Kondensatorbreite verkürzt, insbesondere nur über zwei Drittel der Kondensatorbreite, insbesondere nur über die Hälfte der Kondensatorbreite erstreckt.Preferably, the collecting container extends in relation to the capacitor width shortened, in particular only over two thirds of the capacitor width, in particular only over half of the capacitor width extends.
Die Aufgabe wird auch durch eine Klimaanlage gelöst, die eine erfindungsgemäße Kondensatorbaugruppe aufweist. Die Kondensatorbaugruppe weist Rohre zum Durchströmen des Fluids auf, ein erstes Sammelrohr, ein zweites Sammelrohr, einen Sammelbehälter und einen Einlass sowie einen Auslass. Der Sammelbehälter und das erste Sammelrohr stehen durch Verbindungsöffnungen in Fluidverbindung, der Strömungsweg des Kühlmittels wird hierbei durch die Verbindungsöffnung einerseits und durch Strömungsleitbleche oder Trennwände andererseits realisiert. Das Kühlmittel kann durch die Verbindungsöffnungen von dem Sammelrohr durch den Sammelbehälter zur Auslassöffnung strömen können, wenn diese am Sammelbehälter angeordnet ist. Wenn die Einlassöffnung am Sammelbehälter angeordnet ist, ist eine Öffnung vorgesehen, durch die der Sammelbehälter und das Sammelrohr in Fluidverbindung stehen, sodass das Kühlmittel durch die Eintrittsöffnung durch den Sammelbehälter in das erste Sammelrohr und in die am ersten Sammelrohr angeschlossenen Rohre strömen kann. Die Rohre sind derart angeordnet, dass diese einen Überhitzungsbereich zum Kühlen des dampfförmigen Kühlmittels und einen Kondensationsbereich zum Kondensieren des Kühlmittels sowie einen Unterkühlbereich zum weiteren Kühlen des flüssigen Kühlmittels bilden. Die Länge der Rohre definiert eine Länge der Kondensatorbaugruppe. Die Anzahl und die Höhe (vertikal verlaufende Abmessung) der übereinander und/oder nebeneinander angeordneten Rohre definieren eine Breite und der Durchmesser bzw. die horizontal verlaufende Abmessung definiert eine Tiefe der Kondensatorbaugruppe. Hierbei ist der Sammelbehälter bevorzugt vertikal entlang der Breite der Kondensatorbaugruppe angeordnet. Sind die Einlass- und die Auslassöffnung am ersten Sammelrohr und/oder am Sammelbehälter angeordnet, kann die Kondensatorbaugruppe eine gerade Anzahl von Strömungspfaden im Kondensationsbereich und im Unterkühlbereich aufweisen. Ist die Auslassöffnung am zweiten Sammelrohr angeordnet, kann die Kondensatorbaugruppe eine ungerade Anzahl von Strömungspfaden aufweisen. Durch die Anordnung mindestens der Einlassöffnung am ersten Sammelrohr und/oder dem Sammelbehälter ist eine Erweiterung der Bauraumfreiheit realisiert worden. Ferner kann eine deutliche Erweiterung der Möglichkeiten bei der thermodynamischen Auslegung der kondensatorbaugruppe erreicht werden. Außerdem kann der Herstellungsprozess verbessert werden, der Lötprozess kann einfacher gestaltet werden und es ist eine Reduktion des Materialeinsatzes ermöglicht.The object is also achieved by an air conditioner having a capacitor assembly according to the invention. The condenser assembly has tubes for flowing the fluid, a first header, a second header, a header and an inlet, and an outlet. The collecting container and the first collecting pipe are in fluid communication through connecting openings, the flow path of the coolant is in this case realized by the connecting opening on the one hand and by Strömungsleitbleche or partitions on the other. The coolant may be allowed to flow through the communication holes from the header through the header to the outlet when disposed on the header. When the inlet opening is arranged on the collecting container, an opening is provided, through which the collecting container and the collecting tube are in fluid communication, so that the coolant can flow through the inlet opening through the collecting container into the first collecting tube and into the tubes connected to the first collecting tube. The tubes are arranged such that they form an overheating region for cooling the vaporous coolant and a condensation region for condensing the coolant and a subcooling region for further cooling the liquid coolant. The length of the tubes defines a length of the capacitor assembly. The number and height (vertical dimension) of the stacked and / or juxtaposed tubes defines a width and the diameter or horizontal dimension defines a depth of the capacitor assembly. In this case, the collecting container is preferably arranged vertically along the width of the capacitor assembly. If the inlet and outlet openings are arranged on the first collection tube and / or on the collection container, the condenser assembly may have an even number of Have flow paths in the condensation region and in the subcooling. If the outlet port is located on the second header, the condenser assembly may have an odd number of flow paths. Due to the arrangement of at least the inlet opening on the first manifold and / or the collecting container an extension of the installation space freedom has been realized. Furthermore, a significant expansion of the possibilities in the thermodynamic design of the capacitor assembly can be achieved. In addition, the manufacturing process can be improved, the soldering process can be made simpler and it is possible to reduce the use of materials.
Bevorzugt ist die Auslassöffnung ebenfalls an dem ersten Sammelrohr und/oder an dem Sammelbehälter angeordnet und steht mit dem ersten Sammelrohr und/oder dem Sammelbehälter in Fluidverbindung. Somit sind Einlassöffnung und Auslassöffnung auf derselben Seite der Kondensatorbaugruppe angeordnet und dadurch können auch die Anschlüsse an den Kühlkreislauf kompakt geführt werden. Dadurch kann der Bauraum für die Kondensatorbaugruppe optimiert werden. Die Rohre sind bevorzugt derart angeordnet, dass mindestens zwei Rohre in einem Kondensationsbereich und mindestens zwei Rohre in einem Unterkühlbereich angeordnet sind. In dieser Ausgestaltung sind die Einlassöffnung und die Auslassöffnung bevorzugt am ersten Sammelrohr und/oder am Sammelbehälter angeordnet, wobei die Einlassöffnung im Kondensationsbereich angeordnet ist. Die Auslassöffnung ist am Unterkühlbereich angeordnet, bevorzugt mit dem zweiten Strömungspfad des Unterkühlbereichs verbunden. Die Eintrittsöffnung und die Auslassöffnung sind bevorzugt mit einem Flansch versehen, wobei die Flansche der Eintrittsöffnung und der Austrittsöffnung an dem ersten Sammelrohr und/oder dem Sammelbehälter angeordnet und/oder mit diesem verbindbar. Mittels der Flansche können Schläuche oder Leitungen des Kühlmittelkreislaufs der Klimaanlage mit der Kondensatorbaugruppe verbunden werden.Preferably, the outlet opening is likewise arranged on the first collecting tube and / or on the collecting container and is in fluid communication with the first collecting tube and / or the collecting container. Thus, the inlet opening and the outlet opening are arranged on the same side of the condenser assembly and thereby the connections to the cooling circuit can be made compact. As a result, the space for the capacitor assembly can be optimized. The tubes are preferably arranged such that at least two tubes are arranged in a condensation region and at least two tubes are arranged in a supercooling region. In this embodiment, the inlet opening and the outlet opening are preferably arranged on the first collecting tube and / or on the collecting container, wherein the inlet opening is arranged in the condensation region. The outlet opening is arranged at the subcooling region, preferably connected to the second flow path of the subcooling region. The inlet opening and the outlet opening are preferably provided with a flange, wherein the flanges of the inlet opening and the outlet opening arranged on the first manifold and / or the collecting container and / or connectable to this. By means of the flanges hoses or lines of the coolant circuit of the air conditioner can be connected to the condenser assembly.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Kondensatorbaugruppe erstreckt sich der Sammelbehälter nahezu über die komplette Breite. Die Breite ist durch die Abmessungen übereinander angeordneter Rohre definiert und kann sowohl durch den Abstand der Rohre zueinander als auch durch die Abmessung der Rohre definiert werden. Der Sammelbehälter erstreckt sich bevorzugt in vertikaler Richtung an der Stirnseite der Rohre, wobei das erste Sammelrohr zwischen dem Sammelbehälter und den Rohren angeordnet ist. Hierbei sind/ist die Einlassöffnung und/oder die Ausfassäffnung bevorzugt zwischen dem Sammelbehälter und dem ersten Sammelrohr angeordnet. Dadurch kann eine erhebliche Bauraumeinsparung in Längserstreckung gesehen realisiert werden. Dies ist für den Einbau in Kleinwagen mit einem begrenzten Motorraum von Vorteil.In a preferred embodiment of the capacitor assembly, the collecting container extends almost over the entire width. The width is defined by the dimensions of tubes arranged one above the other and can be defined both by the distance of the tubes from one another and also by the dimension of the tubes. The collecting container preferably extends in the vertical direction at the end face of the tubes, wherein the first collecting tube is arranged between the collecting container and the tubes. Here, the inlet opening and / or the Ausfassäffnung are preferably arranged between the collecting container and the first manifold. As a result, a considerable space savings seen in the longitudinal direction can be realized. This is advantageous for installation in small cars with a limited engine compartment.
In einer anderen bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Kondensatorbaugruppe ist der Sammelbehälter verkürzt und erstreckt sich nur über einen Teilbereich der Breite, bevorzugt über 2/3 oder die Hälfte der Kondensatorbreite. Bevorzugt ist der Sammelbehälter mittig am ersten Sammelrohr angeordnet. Dann kann oberhalb bzw. unterhalb des Sammelbehälters jeweils die Einlassöffnung bzw. die Auslassöffnung angeordnet sein.In another preferred embodiment of the capacitor assembly of the collection container is shortened and extends only over a portion of the width, preferably about 2/3 or half of the capacitor width. Preferably, the collecting container is arranged centrally on the first collecting pipe. Then, in each case the inlet opening or the outlet opening can be arranged above or below the collecting container.
In der Kondensatorbaugruppe können der Flansch der Einlassöffnung und/oder der Flansch der Auslassöffnung am Sammelbehälter oder Sammelbehälter angeordnet sein. Hierbei kann die Strömungsführung mit bekannten Sammelrohren erfolgen, wobei die Strömungsführung im Inneren des Sammelbehälters durch einen ohnehin vorhandenen Trockner und/oder ein Filterelement übernommen werden. Zusätzlich kann die Strömungsführung auch mittels des Verschlusselements vorgesehen sein.In the condenser assembly, the flange of the inlet opening and / or the flange of the outlet opening may be disposed on the sump or sump. In this case, the flow guidance can take place with known collecting pipes, wherein the flow guidance in the interior of the collecting container is taken over by an already existing dryer and / or a filter element. In addition, the flow guide can also be provided by means of the closure element.

Die Kondensatorbaugruppe 1 weist Rohre 2 auf, die in vertikaler Richtung 3 übereinander angeordnet sind. Die Rohre 2 sind bevorzugt als Flachrohre 2 ausgebildet und weisen eine Tiefe und eine Höhe sowie eine Länge 4 auf, die die Erstreckung in horizontaler Richtung definiert. Hierbei ist die Querschnittsfläche des Rohres 2 rechteckig und die Tiefe zeigt eine größere Abmessung als die Höhe. Die Rohre 2 sind in Längserstreckungsrichtung 4 zwischen einem ersten Sammelrohr 5 und einem zweiten Sammelrohr 6 angeordnet. Das erste Sammelrohr 5 steht mit einem Sammelbehälter 7 in Fluidverbindung. Die Kondensatorbaugruppe 1 weist Befestigungseinrichtung 8a, 8b, 8c und 8d auf, mittels derer die Kondensatorbaugruppe 1 mit einer Karosserie eines nicht dargestellten Kraftfahrzeuges verbindbar ist. An dem Sammelbehälter 7 ist eine Auslassöffnung 9 angeordnet, mittels der unterkühltes Kühlmittel aus der Kondensatorbaugruppe 1 ausgeleitet werden kann und in einen Kühlmittelkreislauf einer Klimaanlage einströmen kann.The
Die Rohre 12 sind bevorzugt als Flachrohre 12 ausgebildet und weisen eine Tiefe und eine Höhe sowie eine Länge 16 auf, die die Erstreckung in horizontaler Richtung definiert. Hierbei ist die Querschnittsfläche des Rohres 12 rechteckig und die Tiefe zeigt eine größere Abmessung als die Höhe. Die Rohre 12 bilden einen Kondensationsbereich 42 und einen Unterkühlbereich 44 aus. Die Rohre 12 sind in Längserstreckungsrichtung 16 zwischen einem ersten Sammelrohr 18 und einem zweiten Sammelrohr 20 angeordnet. Das erste Sammelrohr 18 steht mit einem Sammelbehälter 22 in Fluidverbindung. Eine Einlassöffnung 30 und eine Auslassöffnung 32 sind an dem Sammelrohr 18 angeordnet. In dieser Ausführungsform sind die Einlass- und die Auslassöffnung 30, 32 seitliche am Sammelrohr 18 angeordnet. Der Sammelbehälter 22 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Breite 36 des Sammelrohres 18 und wird mit einem Verschlussstopfen 34 verschlossen. Im Sammelbehälter 22 ist ein Filterelement 45 angeordnet. Die Rohre 12 bilden Strömungspfade 40, wobei Strömungspfade 40a und 40b, die in dem Kondensationsbereich 42 verlaufen, und Strömungspfade 40c, 40d, die in dem Unterkühlbereich 44 verlaufen. Die Strömungspfade 40a, 40b, 40c und 40d sind die Wege, die das Kühlmedium, welches bevorzugt ein Kühlfluid ist, durch strömen kann. Der Strömungspfad 40a ist mit der Einlassöffnung 30 verbunden, sodass das in die Kondensatorbaugruppe 10 eingeleitete Kühlmittel den Strömungspfad 40a entlangströmen kann. Im Sammelrohr 20 wird das Kühlmittel mittels eines Strömungsleitblech 47 oder einer Trennwand 47 auf den Strömungspfad 40b gelenkt. Das Kühlmittel kann nicht durch Strömungspfade 40c und 40d strömen, da der Strömungsweg mittels des Strömungsleitblech 47 geblockt wird. Das Kühlmittel kann durch den Strömungspfad 40b in das Sammelrohr 18 strömen, tritt durch eine Öffnung 46 in den Sammelbehälter 22 und kann entlang des Weges 43 und eine Öffnung 48 wieder in das Sammelrohr 18 und strömen. Danach kann das Kühlmedium entlang des Strömungspfades 40c in Richtung Sammelrohr 20 und über den Strömungspfad 40d zu der Austrittsöffnung 32 strömen, durch die das Kühlmittel die Kondensatorbaugruppe 10 verlassen kann und in einen nicht dargestellten Kühlmittelkreislauf gelangen kann. Ein Strömungspfad 40e zeigt exemplarisch den Strömungspfad zwischen dem Kondensationsbereich 42 und dem Unterkühlbereich 44, der aus dem Sammelrohr 18 durch die Öffnung 46 in den Strömungspfad 40c durch die Öffnung 48 führt. Die Strömungspfade 40a, 40b, 40c und 40d können jeweils durch eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Rohren 12 gebildet werden. Wobei in Rohren 12, die einen Strömungspfad, beispielsweise Strömungspfad 40a realisieren, das Kühlmedium parallel in die Richtung strömt, die durch den Strömungspfad 40a darstellenden Pfeil dargestellt ist.The
