TH19744Y - Thermosiphon assembly for split-type air conditioners. - Google Patents

Abstract

This thermosiphon kit for split-type air conditioners consists of a thermosiphon unit, a water tank, and thermosiphon pipe end mounting brackets. The thermosiphon unit's function is to reduce the temperature of the air before it flows through the condenser coil. The refrigerant inside the thermosiphon absorbs heat from the air and evaporates, thus increasing the heat dissipation from the condenser coil to the air. Installation is easy, and the number of pipes and rows of thermosiphon pipes can be adjusted as needed.

Claims (1)

1. The thermosiphon assembly for a split air conditioner consists of a water tank (1), a thermosiphon assembly (2), and thermosiphon pipe end fittings (3). The thermosiphon is divided into three parts: the first part is the cold part which is used to allow air to flow through to reduce the air temperature; the second part is the hot part which is immersed in water in the water tank (1); and the third part is the unheated part located in the middle of the thermosiphon assembly (2). The thermosiphon assembly (2) can be arranged in two ways: in a row or in alternating rows. The thermosiphon assembly (2) can be bent or curved in any shape to facilitate installation. The number of rows of thermosiphon assembly (2) in the direction of airflow can be increased or decreased as needed. The number of thermosiphon pipes perpendicular to the direction of airflow, when arranged together, must have a width equal to the The width of the air inlet (6) or air outlet (7) that flows through the outer housing (5) of the condenser unit (4) is such that the water tank (1), the thermosiphon unit (2), and the thermosiphon end fitting (3) are installed on the condenser unit (4). A fan (8) draws outside air through the thermosiphon unit (2). As it flows through the thermosiphon unit (2), heat from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant inside the thermosiphon unit through vaporization. This heat transfer can be increased by installing fins. The refrigerant vapor flows to the part immersed in the water in the water tank (1) before releasing heat by condensing back into liquid to the water in the water tank (1), and then flowing back down to the bottom of the thermosiphon unit (2). Thus, the air flows through the thermosiphon unit (2), where its temperature decreases before flowing into the air inlet (6), through the condenser unit (4), and out through the air outlet (7).
