上述した蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(1)は、車両のエンジンを駆動源とする圧縮機、圧縮機から吐出された冷媒を冷却するコンデンサ(冷媒冷却器)、およびコンデンサを通過した冷媒を減圧する膨張弁(減圧器)とともに冷凍サイクルを構成し、カーエアコンとして、停車時に圧縮機の駆動源であるエンジンを一時的に停止させる車両、たとえば自動車に搭載される。圧縮機が作動している場合には、圧縮機で圧縮されてコンデンサおよび膨張弁を通過した低圧の気液混相の2相冷媒が、冷媒入口(7)を通って蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(1)の風下側上ヘッダ部(5)内に入り、全冷媒流通管(13)を通って風上側上ヘッダ部(6)の冷媒出口(8)から流出する。そして、冷媒が冷媒流通管(13)内を流れる間に第2間隙(17B)を通過する空気と熱交換をし、冷媒は気相となって流出する。
The evaporator with a cold storage function (1) described above includes a compressor that uses a vehicle engine as a drive source, a condenser that cools the refrigerant discharged from the compressor (refrigerant cooler), and an expansion valve that decompresses the refrigerant that has passed through the condenser. The refrigeration cycle is configured together with the (decompressor) and is mounted as a car air conditioner on a vehicle, for example, an automobile, that temporarily stops the engine that is a drive source of the compressor when the vehicle stops. When the compressor is operating, the low-pressure gas-liquid mixed-phase two-phase refrigerant compressed by the compressor and passed through the condenser and the expansion valve passes through the refrigerant inlet (7) and the evaporator with the cold storage function (1) Enters the leeward upper header portion (5) and flows out from the refrigerant outlet (8) of the leeward upper header portion (6) through the entire refrigerant flow pipe (13). And while a refrigerant | coolant flows through the inside of a refrigerant | coolant distribution pipe | tube (13), it heat-exchanges with the air which passes 2nd clearance gap (17B), and a refrigerant | coolant flows out into a gaseous phase.
