The condenser 102 exchanges heat between the gaseous refrigerant of high temperature and high pressure discharged from the compressor and flowing in the condenser 102 and the air passing through the condenser 102. In this process, the refrigerant is condensed, The air is heated and transformed into a warm air.

Accordingly, the gaseous refrigerant of high temperature and pressure discharged from the compressor flows through the zigzag refrigerant circulation line or a plurality of tubes and is heat-exchanged with the air to be condensed. At this time, the air passing through the condenser 102 is heated .

The expansion means (not shown) rapidly expands the liquid-phase refrigerant discharged from the condenser 102 by the throttling action, and sends the refrigerant to the evaporator 104 in a low-temperature and low-pressure humidified state.

As the expansion means, an expansion valve or an orifice structure can be used.

The evaporator 104 evaporates the low-pressure liquid refrigerant discharged from the expansion means by exchanging heat with the air in the air conditioning case 110, thereby cooling the air by an endothermic effect due to the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant.

Subsequently, the gaseous low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant evaporated in the evaporator 104 is again sucked into the compressor and recycled as described above.

In the refrigerant circulation process as described above, air in the interior of the vehicle is circulated through the evaporator 104 while air blown from the blower 130 flows into the air conditioning case 110 and passes through the evaporator 104 Cooled by the latent heat of evaporation of the liquid refrigerant, cooled down and discharged into the passenger compartment through the distribution duct 200,

Hereinafter, a refrigerant flow process of the air conditioning system for a vehicle according to the present invention will be described.

First, the gaseous refrigerant of high temperature and high pressure compressed and discharged from the compressor flows into the condenser 102.

The gaseous refrigerant flowing into the condenser 102 undergoes heat exchange with the air passing through the condenser 102, and in this process, the refrigerant is cooled and phase-changed into a liquid phase.

The liquid refrigerant discharged from the condenser 102 flows into the expansion means and is expanded under reduced pressure.

The refrigerant decompressed and expanded by the expansion means is transferred to the evaporator 104 at a low temperature and pressure in an atomized state and the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator 104 is evaporated by heat exchange with the air passing through the evaporator 104 .

Then, the low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant discharged from the evaporator 104 flows into the compressor, and then recirculates the refrigeration cycle as described above.

Hereinafter, the air flow process in the cooling mode, the heating mode, and the mix mode will be described.

end. Cooling mode

In the cooling mode, as shown in FIG. 8, the cold air mode door 120 operates to open the cold air passage 111, and the hot air mode door 121 operates to open the hot air outlet 119b do.

The first and second indoor / outdoor switching doors 147 and 148 operate selectively to supply indoor air or outdoor air to the first and second blowers 130a and 130b according to the indoor air inflow mode or the outdoor air inflow mode.

Accordingly, when the first and second blowers 130a and 130b are operated, the indoor air or the outside air flowing into the intake duct 140 is sucked into the first and second blowers 130a and 130b, 111 and the warm air passage 112, respectively.

The air supplied to the cold air passage 111 is cooled while passing through the evaporator 104 and then flows to the distribution duct 200. Thereafter the air discharged from the air outlet 220 is opened by the mode door 230 according to the air discharge mode, So that the air is cooled.

At this time, the air supplied to the hot air passage 112 is heated while passing through the condenser 102, and then discharged to the outside through the hot air outlet 119b.

B. Heating mode

In the heating mode, the hot air mode door 121 operates to open the hot air passage 112, and the cold air mode door 120 operates to open the cold air outlet 119a as shown in FIG. 9 .

The first and second indoor / outdoor switching doors 147 and 148 operate selectively to supply indoor air or outdoor air to the first and second blowers 130a and 130b according to the indoor air inflow mode or the outdoor air inflow mode.

Accordingly, when the first and second blowers 130a and 130b are operated, the indoor air or the outside air flowing into the intake duct 140 is sucked into the first and second blowers 130a and 130b, 111 and the warm air passage 112, respectively.

The air supplied to the hot air passage 112 is heated while passing through the condenser 102 and then flows to the distribution duct 200 and then the air outlet 220 opened by the mode door 230 according to the air discharge mode, And is heated to the inside of the vehicle.

At this time, the air supplied to the cold air passage 111 is cooled while being passed through the evaporator 104, and then discharged to the outside through the cold air outlet 119a.

All. Mix mode

In the mix mode, the cold air mode door 120 opens the cold air passage 111 and the hot air mode door 121 operates to open the hot air passage 112, as shown in FIG.

The first and second indoor / outdoor switching doors 147 and 148 operate selectively to supply indoor air or outdoor air to the first and second blowers 130a and 130b according to the indoor air inflow mode or the outdoor air inflow mode.

Accordingly, when the first and second blowers 130a and 130b are operated, the indoor air or the outside air flowing into the intake duct 140 is sucked into the first and second blowers 130a and 130b, 111 and the warm air passage 112, respectively.

The air supplied to the cold air passage 111 flows through the evaporator 104 and then flows to the distribution duct 200. The air supplied to the hot air passage 112 passes through the condenser 102, And then flows to the rear distribution duct 200.

Then, the cold air and the warm air, which have flowed into the distribution duct 200, are mixed with each other and then discharged to the passenger compartment through the air outlet 220 opened by the mode door 230 according to the air discharge mode.
