Description

この発明は蓄冷機能付きエバポレータに関する。   The present invention relates to an evaporator with a cold storage function.

この明細書および特許請求の範囲において、図1〜図3に矢印Xで示す通風方向の下流側から見た上下、左右(図1の上下、左右)を上下、左右というものとする。   In this specification and claims, the up / down and left / right (up / down and left / right in FIG. 1) viewed from the downstream side in the ventilation direction shown by the arrow X in FIGS. 1 to 3 are referred to as up / down and left / right.

たとえば、環境保護や自動車の燃費向上などを目的として、信号待ちなどの停車時にエンジンを自動的に停止させる自動車が提案されている。   For example, a vehicle has been proposed in which the engine is automatically stopped when the vehicle is stopped, such as waiting for a signal, for the purpose of environmental protection and improvement of the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

当該自動車のカーエアコンにおいては、エバポレータに蓄冷機能を付与し、エンジンが停止して圧縮機が停止した際に、エバポレータに蓄えられた冷熱を放冷して車室内を冷却することが考えられている。   In the car air conditioner of the automobile, it is considered that the evaporator is provided with a cold storage function, and when the engine is stopped and the compressor is stopped, the cold heat stored in the evaporator is released to cool the vehicle interior. There is.

この種の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータとして、本出願人は、先に、長手方向を上下方向に向けるとともに幅方向を通風方向に向けた複数の扁平状冷媒流通管と、蓄冷材が封入された蓄冷材容器と、アウターフィンとを有する熱交換コア部を備えており、熱交換コア部において、通風方向に並んだ2つの冷媒流通管からなる管組が左右方向に間隔をおいて複数配置されることにより、隣り合う管組どうしの間に間隙が形成され、当該全間隙のうちの一部でかつ複数の間隙に蓄冷材容器が冷媒流通管と接するように配置され、前記全間隙のうちの残りの間隙にアウターフィンが冷媒流通管と接するように配置されるとともに、アウターフィンが配置された間隙が通風間隙となされ、全冷媒流通管の材質が同じであり、全冷媒流通管の中に、左右両側壁がアウターフィンに接している第1冷媒流通管と、左右両側壁のうち少なくともいずれか一方の側壁が蓄冷材容器に接している第2冷媒流通管とがあり、第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚と、第2冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚が同一となっている蓄冷機能付きエバポレータを提案した(特許文献1参照)。   As an evaporator with a cool storage function of this kind, the present applicant has previously proposed that a plurality of flat refrigerant distribution pipes having the longitudinal direction oriented in the vertical direction and the width direction oriented in the ventilation direction, and the cool storage material in which the cool storage material is enclosed. A heat exchange core portion having a container and outer fins is provided, and in the heat exchange core portion, a plurality of pipe sets including two refrigerant distribution pipes arranged in the ventilation direction are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. Due to this, a gap is formed between adjacent pipe groups, and the cool storage material container is arranged in a part of the whole gap and in a plurality of gaps so as to be in contact with the refrigerant flow pipe, and the rest of the whole gap. While the outer fins are arranged in contact with the refrigerant flow pipes in the gaps, the gaps in which the outer fins are arranged are ventilation gaps, the material of all the refrigerant flow pipes is the same, and in all the refrigerant flow pipes, Left and right sides Has a first refrigerant flow pipe in contact with the outer fin and a second refrigerant flow pipe in which at least one of the left and right side walls is in contact with the cool storage material container. An evaporator with a cold storage function has been proposed in which the wall thickness is the same as the left and right side walls of the second refrigerant flow pipe (see Patent Document 1).

特許文献1記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、圧縮機が作動している通常の冷房時には、第1冷媒流通管内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱が、その左右両側壁を介して両側のアウターフィンに伝わり、アウターフィンに伝わった冷熱により通風間隙を流れる空気が冷却され、冷却された空気が車室内に送り込まれるようになっている。また、圧縮機が作動している通常の冷房時には、第2冷媒流通管内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱が、その左右両側壁のうち蓄冷材容器と接している側壁を介して蓄冷材容器内の蓄冷材に伝わって蓄冷材に蓄えられる。   According to the evaporator with a cold storage function described in Patent Document 1, during normal cooling in which the compressor is operating, the cold heat contained in the refrigerant flowing through the first refrigerant distribution pipe is transferred to the outer fins on both sides via the left and right side walls thereof. The cold heat that has been transmitted to the outer fins cools the air flowing through the ventilation gap, and the cooled air is sent into the vehicle interior. Further, during normal cooling in which the compressor is operating, the cold heat of the refrigerant flowing through the second refrigerant circulation pipe is stored in the cool storage material container via the side walls of the left and right side walls that are in contact with the cool storage material container. It is transmitted to the material and stored in the cold storage material.

圧縮機が停止した際には、蓄冷材容器内の蓄冷材に蓄えられた冷熱が、左右両側壁のうち一方の側壁が蓄冷材容器に接するとともに他方の側壁がアウターフィンに接している第2冷媒流通管における蓄冷材容器と接している前記一方の側壁を介して第2冷媒流通管に伝わり、第2冷媒流通管の前記他方の側壁を介してアウターフィンに伝わり、アウターフィンに伝わった冷熱により通風間隙を流れる空気が冷却され、冷却された空気が車室内に送り込まれるようになっている。したがって、エンジンが停止して圧縮機が停止した際に、エバポレータに蓄えられた冷熱を放冷して車室内を冷却することが可能になり、エンジンが停止した際の冷房能力の急激な低下が抑制されている。   When the compressor is stopped, the cold heat stored in the regenerator material in the regenerator material container has one side wall of the left and right side walls in contact with the regenerator material container and the other side wall in contact with the outer fin. Cold heat transferred to the second refrigerant flow pipe through the one side wall of the refrigerant flow pipe that is in contact with the cool storage material container, transferred to the outer fin through the other side wall of the second refrigerant flow pipe, and transferred to the outer fin As a result, the air flowing through the ventilation gap is cooled, and the cooled air is sent into the vehicle interior. Therefore, when the engine stops and the compressor stops, it becomes possible to cool the interior of the vehicle by discharging the cold heat stored in the evaporator, resulting in a sharp decrease in the cooling capacity when the engine stops. It is suppressed.

ところで、特許文献1記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータにおいては、エンジンが停止して圧縮機が停止した際の冷熱の放冷時間を長くするには、蓄冷材の量を増やすことが有効であるが、この場合、熱交換コア部の高さおよび左右方向の寸法を一定とした場合、蓄冷材容器の数を増やす必要があり、アウターフィンが配置された通風間隙の数が減少して通常の冷房時の冷房性能が低下する。   By the way, in the evaporator with a cold storage function described in Patent Document 1, it is effective to increase the amount of the cold storage material in order to extend the cooling time of the cold heat when the engine stops and the compressor stops. In this case, if the height of the heat exchange core part and the size in the left-right direction are constant, it is necessary to increase the number of regenerator material containers, and the number of ventilation gaps in which the outer fins are arranged is reduced, which results in normal cooling. The cooling performance of is reduced.

全冷媒流通管の材質が同じであり、全冷媒流通管の中に、左右両側壁がアウターフィンに接している第1冷媒流通管と、左右両側壁のうちいずれか一方の側壁が蓄冷材容器に接するとともに同他方の側壁がアウターフィンに接している第2冷媒流通管とが含まれ、第2冷媒流通管における蓄冷材容器に接している側壁の肉厚が、第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚よりも大きくなっている蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ。
1) a heat exchange core part having a plurality of flat refrigerant distribution pipes with the longitudinal direction oriented in the vertical direction and the width direction oriented in the ventilation direction, a regenerator material container in which a regenerator material is enclosed, and outer fins And, in the heat exchange core portion, a plurality of refrigerant flow pipes are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction, thereby forming a gap between the refrigerant flow pipes adjacent in the left-right direction, the cool storage material container, A part of the total gap is arranged so as to be in contact with the refrigerant flow pipe in a plurality of gaps, and the outer fin is arranged so as to be in contact with the refrigerant flow pipe in a plurality of gaps that are the rest of the total gap. An evaporator with a cold storage function,
All the refrigerant distribution pipes are made of the same material, and the first refrigerant distribution pipe whose left and right side walls are in contact with the outer fins, and one of the left and right side walls is the regenerator material container. And a second refrigerant distribution pipe whose other side wall is in contact with the outer fin, the thickness of the side wall of the second refrigerant distribution pipe in contact with the regenerator material container is equal to the left and right sides of the first refrigerant distribution pipe. An evaporator with a cold storage function that is thicker than the wall thickness of both side walls.

2)第2冷媒流通管における蓄冷材容器に接している側壁の肉厚がアウターフィンに接している側壁の肉厚よりも大きくなっている上記1)記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ。   2) The evaporator with a cold storage function according to 1), wherein the thickness of the side wall of the second refrigerant flow pipe that is in contact with the cool storage material container is larger than the thickness of the side wall that is in contact with the outer fin.

3)第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚が同一であり、第2冷媒流通管におけるアウターフィンに接している側壁の肉厚が、第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚と同一である上記2)記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ。   3) The left and right side walls of the first refrigerant flow pipe have the same thickness, and the side wall thickness of the second refrigerant flow pipe in contact with the outer fins is the same as the left and right side walls of the first refrigerant flow pipe. The same evaporator with a cold storage function as described in 2) above.

4)第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚が同一であり、第2冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚が同一であるとともに、第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚よりも大きくなっている上記1)記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ。   4) The thickness of the left and right side walls of the first refrigerant flow pipe is the same, the thickness of the left and right side walls of the second refrigerant flow pipe is the same, and the wall thickness of the left and right side walls of the first refrigerant flow pipe is The evaporator with a cold storage function described in 1) above is also becoming larger.

上記1)〜4)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、全冷媒流通管の材質が同じであり、全冷媒流通管の中に、左右両側壁がアウターフィンに接している第1冷媒流通管と、左右両側壁のうちいずれか一方の側壁が蓄冷材容器に接するとともに同他方の側壁がアウターフィンに接している第2冷媒流通管とが含まれ、第2冷媒流通管における蓄冷材容器に接している側壁の肉厚が、第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚よりも大きくなっているので、第2冷媒流通管における蓄冷材容器に接している側壁の熱容量が第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の熱容量よりも大きくなる。したがって、第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚を特許文献1の第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚と等しくした場合、圧縮機の停止時に、蓄冷材容器内の蓄冷材に蓄えられた冷熱が、第2冷媒流通管を経てアウターフィンに伝わるまでの時間を、特許文献1記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータに比べて遅くすることができ、アウターフィンにより通風間隙を流れる空気を冷却する放冷時間を延長することができる。しかも、第1冷媒流通管の左右両側壁の肉厚を、通常の冷房時に第1冷媒流通管内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱をアウターフィンに効率良く伝えうる肉厚にすることができるとともに、蓄冷材容器の数の増加を抑制してアウターフィンが配置された通風間隙の数の減少を抑制することが可能になり、通常の冷房時の冷房性能の低下を抑制することができる。   According to the evaporator with a cold storage function of the above 1) to 4), the material of all the refrigerant distribution pipes is the same, and in the all refrigerant distribution pipes, the first refrigerant distribution pipe whose left and right side walls are in contact with the outer fins. , A second refrigerant distribution pipe in which one of the left and right side walls is in contact with the cool storage material container and the other side wall is in contact with the outer fin, and is in contact with the cool storage material container in the second refrigerant distribution pipe. Since the thickness of the side wall of the first refrigerant flow pipe is larger than the thickness of the left and right side walls of the first refrigerant flow pipe, the heat capacity of the side wall of the second refrigerant flow pipe in contact with the cool storage material container is the first refrigerant flow pipe. It is larger than the heat capacity of the left and right side walls. Therefore, when the wall thicknesses of the left and right side walls of the first refrigerant flow pipe are made equal to the wall thicknesses of the left and right side walls of the first refrigerant flow pipe of Patent Document 1, when the compressor is stopped, the cold storage material in the cool storage material container is The time until the stored cold heat is transferred to the outer fins via the second refrigerant flow pipe can be made slower than that of the evaporator with a cold storage function described in Patent Document 1, and the air flowing through the ventilation gap is cooled by the outer fins. The cooling time can be extended. Moreover, the wall thickness of the left and right side walls of the first refrigerant flow pipe can be made thick enough to efficiently transfer the cold heat of the refrigerant flowing in the first refrigerant flow pipe to the outer fins during normal cooling, and the cold storage material. It is possible to suppress an increase in the number of containers and a decrease in the number of ventilation gaps in which the outer fins are arranged, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in cooling performance during normal cooling.

上記2)および3)の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、第2冷媒流通管におけるアウターフィンに接する側壁の肉厚を、通常の冷房時に第2冷媒流通管内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱をアウターフィンに効率良く伝えうる肉厚にすることができ、通常の冷房時の冷房性能の低下を抑制することができる。   According to the evaporator with a cold storage function of the above 2) and 3), the thickness of the side wall of the second refrigerant distribution pipe in contact with the outer fin is set to be the cooling heat of the refrigerant flowing in the second refrigerant distribution pipe during normal cooling to the outer fin. The wall thickness can be efficiently transmitted, and a decrease in cooling performance during normal cooling can be suppressed.

And flows out from the refrigerant outlet (8) of the windward header section (6).

図4および図5に示すように、第1冷媒流通管(12)の左右両側壁(12a)の肉厚(t1)は同一である。また、第2冷媒流通管(13)における蓄冷材容器(16)に接している側壁(13a)の肉厚(t2)は、第1冷媒流通管(12)の左右両側壁(12a)の肉厚(t1)、および第2冷媒流通管(13)におけるアウターフィン(17)に接している側壁(13b)の肉厚(t3)よりも大きくなっている。第2冷媒流通管(13)におけるアウターフィン(17)に接している側壁(13b)の肉厚(t3)は、第1冷媒流通管(12)の左右両側壁(12a)の肉厚(t1)と同一である。なお、第2冷媒流通管(13)におけるアウターフィン(17)に接している側壁(13b)の肉厚(t3)は、必ずしも第1冷媒流通管(12)の左右両側壁(12a)の肉厚(t1)と同一である必要はない。さらに、両冷媒流通管(12)(13)には、通風方向に並んだ複数の流路(32)(33)が仕切壁(34)(35)を介して形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the left and right side walls (12a) of the first refrigerant flow pipe (12) have the same wall thickness (t1). The wall thickness (t2) of the side wall (13a) of the second refrigerant flow pipe (13) in contact with the regenerator material container (16) is the thickness of the left and right side walls (12a) of the first refrigerant flow pipe (12).

The thickness (t3) of the side wall (13b) of the second refrigerant flow pipe (13) in contact with the outer fin (17) is not necessarily the same as the thickness of the left and right side walls (12a) of the first refrigerant flow pipe (12). It need not be the same as the thickness (t1). Further, a plurality of flow paths (32) (33) arranged in the ventilation direction are formed in both the refrigerant flow pipes (12) (13) via partition walls (34) (35).

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)、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。   The evaporator (1) with a cool storage function is a compressor that uses a vehicle engine as a drive source, a condenser (refrigerant cooler) that cools the refrigerant discharged from the compressor, and an expansion valve (pressure reducer) that decompresses the refrigerant that has passed through the condenser. ) And a refrigerating cycle, and is installed as a car air conditioner in a vehicle, such as an automobile, in which the engine, which is the drive source of the compressor, is temporarily stopped when the vehicle is stopped.

圧縮機が作動している通常の冷房時には、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(12)(13)を通って風上側上ヘッダ部(6)に入り、冷媒出口(8)から流出する。このとき、第1冷媒流通管(12)内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱が、第1冷媒流通管(12)の左右両側壁(12a)を介して左右両側の第2間隙(15B)に配置されたアウターフィン(17)に伝わる。また、第2冷媒流通管(13)内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱が、第2冷媒流通管(13)における第1間隙(15A)の両側の第2間隙(15B)に配置されたアウターフィン(17)に接している側壁(13b)を介して当該アウターフィン(17)に伝わる。そして、アウターフィン(17)に伝わった冷熱によって第2間隙(15B)を流れる空気が冷却され、冷却された空気が車室内に送り込まれて冷房に供される。一方、両冷媒流通管(12)(13)内を流れた冷媒は気相となって流出する。   During normal cooling with the compressor operating, the low-pressure gas-liquid mixed two-phase refrigerant that has been compressed by the compressor and passed through the condenser and the expansion valve passes through the refrigerant inlet (7) and the evaporator with cold storage function (1 ) Into the leeward side upper header portion (5), passes through all the refrigerant flow pipes (12) and (13) into the leeward side upward header portion (6), and flows out from the refrigerant outlet (8). At this time, the cold heat of the refrigerant flowing in the first refrigerant flow pipe (12) is arranged in the second gaps (15B) on both the left and right sides via the left and right side walls (12a) of the first refrigerant flow pipe (12). It is transmitted to the outer fin (17). Further, the cold heat of the refrigerant flowing through the second refrigerant flow pipe (13) has outer fins (2B) arranged in the second gaps (15B) on both sides of the first gap (15A) in the second refrigerant flow pipe (13). It is transmitted to the outer fin (17) through the side wall (13b) in contact with the outer fin (17). Then, the cold heat transmitted to the outer fins (17) cools the air flowing through the second gap (15B), and the cooled air is sent into the passenger compartment for cooling. On the other hand, the refrigerant that has flowed in both refrigerant flow pipes (12) and (13) becomes a gas phase and flows out.

また、圧縮機が作動している通常の冷房時には、第2冷媒流通管(13)内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱が、第2冷媒流通管(13)における蓄冷材容器(16)と接している側壁(13a)に伝わり、当該側壁(13a)から蓄冷材容器(16)の蓄冷材封入部(24)の左右両側壁(25)における容器本体部(19)に存在する部分に設けられた排水溝用凸部(27)の膨出頂壁を経て直接蓄冷材容器(16)内の蓄冷材に伝わるとともに、排水溝用凸部(27)の膨出頂壁から左右両側壁(25)における冷媒流通管(13)にろう付されていない部分およびインナーフィン(28)を経て蓄冷材容器(16)内の蓄冷材の全体に伝わって蓄冷材に冷熱が蓄えられる。   Further, during normal cooling in which the compressor is operating, the cold heat of the refrigerant flowing through the second refrigerant distribution pipe (13) is in contact with the cool storage material container (16) in the second refrigerant distribution pipe (13). Drainage that is transmitted to the side wall (13a) and is provided from the side wall (13a) to the portion existing in the container main body part (19) in the left and right side walls (25) of the cool storage material enclosing portion (24) of the cool storage material container (16). It is directly transmitted to the cold storage material in the cool storage material container (16) through the bulging top wall of the groove convex portion (27), and at the left and right side walls (25) from the bulging top wall of the drain groove convex portion (27). Cold heat is stored in the cold storage material by being transmitted to the entire cold storage material in the cold storage material container (16) through the portion not brazed to the refrigerant flow pipe (13) and the inner fin (28).

圧縮機が作動している通常の冷房時において全冷媒流通管(12)(13)内を流れた冷媒は気相となって流出する。   The refrigerant that has flowed through all the refrigerant flow pipes (12) and (13) during normal cooling while the compressor is operating flows out in a vapor phase.

圧縮機が作動している通常の冷房時には、蓄冷材容器(16)表面に凝縮水が発生するが、当該凝縮水は凝縮水排水溝(26)内に入る。凝縮水排水溝(26)内に溜まった凝縮水が多くなると、溜まった凝縮水に作用する重力が表面張力よりも大きくなって凝縮水排水溝(26)内を流下し、下方に排水される。   During normal cooling with the compressor operating, condensed water is generated on the surface of the cold storage material container (16), and the condensed water enters the condensed water drain groove (26). When the amount of condensed water accumulated in the condensed water drainage groove (26) increases, the gravity acting on the accumulated condensed water becomes larger than the surface tension and flows down in the condensed water drainage groove (26) and is discharged downward. .

圧縮機の停止時には、蓄冷材容器(16)内の蓄冷材に蓄えられた冷熱が、蓄冷材容器(16)の蓄冷材封入部(24)の左右両側壁(25)における容器本体部(19)に存在する部分に設けられた排水溝用凸部(27)の膨出頂壁を経て第2冷媒流通管(13)における蓄冷材容器(16)に接している側壁(13a)に伝わるとともに、インナーフィン(28)から左右両側壁(25)における第2冷媒流通管(13)にろう付されていない部分および排水溝用凸部(27)の膨出頂壁を経て第2冷媒流通管(13)における蓄冷材容器(16)に接している側壁(13a)に伝わる。当該側壁(13a)に伝わった冷熱は、仕切壁(35)およびアウターフィン(17)に接している側壁(13b)を経てアウターフィン(17)に伝わり、第1間隙(15A)の両隣の第2間隙(15B)を通過する空気に伝えられる。アウターフィン(17)に伝わった冷熱は、蓄冷材容器(16)が配置されている第1間隙(15A)の両隣の第2間隙(15B)を通過する空気に伝えられる。したがって、エバポレータ(1)を通過した風の温度が上昇したとしても、当該風は冷却されるので、冷房能力の急激な低下が防止される。   When the compressor is stopped, the cold heat stored in the regenerator material in the regenerator material container (16) is stored in the regenerator material enclosure (24) of the regenerator material container (16) on both left and right side walls (25) of the container body (19). ) Is transmitted to the side wall (13a) in contact with the regenerator material container (16) in the second refrigerant flow pipe (13) through the bulging top wall of the drain groove convex portion (27) provided in The second refrigerant flow pipe from the inner fin (28) to the left and right side walls (25) not brazed to the second refrigerant flow pipe (13) and the bulging top wall of the drain groove projection (27). It is transmitted to the side wall (13a) in contact with the cool storage material container (16) in (13). The cold heat transmitted to the side wall (13a) is transmitted to the outer fin (17) via the side wall (13b) in contact with the partition wall (35) and the outer fin (17), and reaches the first gap on both sides of the first gap (15A). It is transmitted to the air passing through the two gaps (15B). The cold heat transferred to the outer fins (17) is transferred to the air passing through the second gaps (15B) on both sides of the first gap (15A) in which the cold storage material container (16) is arranged. Therefore, even if the temperature of the wind that has passed through the evaporator (1) rises, the wind is cooled, so that a rapid decrease in the cooling capacity is prevented.

圧縮機の停止時においては、第2冷媒流通管(13)における蓄冷材容器(16)に接している側壁(13a)の肉厚(t2)が、第1冷媒流通管(12)の左右両側壁(12a)の肉厚(t1)よりも大きくなっているので、第2冷媒流通管(13)における蓄冷材容器(16)に接している側壁(13a)の熱容量が第1冷媒流通管(12)の左右両側壁(12a)の熱容量よりも大きくなる。したがって、圧縮機が停止した際に蓄冷材容器(16)内の蓄冷材に蓄えられた冷熱が、第2冷媒流通管(13)を経てアウターフィン(17)にまで伝わる時間を比較的遅くすることができ、アウターフィン(17)から第2間隙(15B)を流れる空気への放冷時間を延長することができる。しかも、第1冷媒流通管(12)の左右両側壁(12a)の肉厚(t1)および第2冷媒流通管(13)におけるアウターフィン(17)に接している側壁(13b)の肉厚(t3)を、通常の冷房時に両冷媒流通管(12)(13)内を流れる冷媒の有する冷熱をアウターフィン(17)に効率良く伝えうる肉厚にすることができるとともに、蓄冷材容器(16)の数の増加を抑制してアウターフィン(17)が配置された第2間隙(15B)の数の減少を抑制することが可能になり、通常の冷房時の冷房性能の低下を抑制することができる。   When the compressor is stopped, the thickness (t2) of the side wall (13a) of the second refrigerant flow pipe (13) which is in contact with the cool storage material container (16) is equal to the left and right sides of the first refrigerant flow pipe (12). Since it is larger than the wall thickness (t1) of the wall (12a), the heat capacity of the side wall (13a) of the second refrigerant distribution pipe (13) in contact with the cold storage material container (16) is equal to that of the first refrigerant distribution pipe ( It becomes larger than the heat capacity of the left and right side walls (12a) of 12). Therefore, when the compressor is stopped, the cold heat stored in the regenerator material in the regenerator material container (16) is transmitted to the outer fin (17) via the second refrigerant flow pipe (13) relatively slowly. Therefore, the cooling time from the outer fin (17) to the air flowing through the second gap (15B) can be extended. Moreover, the wall thickness (t1) of the left and right side walls (12a) of the first refrigerant flow pipe (12) and the wall thickness (t) of the side wall (13b) of the second refrigerant flow pipe (13) in contact with the outer fin (17) ( t3) can be made thick enough to efficiently transfer the cold heat of the refrigerant flowing through both refrigerant flow pipes (12) and (13) to the outer fins (17) during normal cooling, and the cold storage material container (16 It is possible to suppress the increase in the number of) and the decrease in the number of the second gaps (15B) in which the outer fins (17) are arranged, and to suppress the decrease in the cooling performance during normal cooling.
