Definitions
- the present invention refers to a condenser to be mounted to the rear part of a refrigeration appliance in the form of a refrigerator or a freezer for household use.
- a condenser usually of the tube-wire type, which is provided in series with the refrigeration circuit of the household appliance for promoting the dissipation, to the ambient air, of the heat extracted from the gaseous refrigerant fluid pumped by the compressor, in order to liquefy said fluid before it is introduced in the evaporator .
- a condenser for a refrigeration appliance defined by a refrigerator or a freezer presenting a cabinet provided with a rear wall .
- the condenser comprises a hermetic shell externally attached to the rear wall of the cabinet and which carries, internally, a condensing tubular extension, for condensation of the refrigerant fluid and which is arranged in series with the refrigeration circuit of the refrigeration appliance and immersed in a working fluid contained inside the hermetic shell and which is capable of transferring to the latter the heat absorbed from the heated gaseous refrigerating fluid arriving to said condensing tubular extension.
- the construction proposed above leads to the provision of a second heat dissipation surface, at a temperature as close as possible to the condensation temperature, and with acceptable aesthetical characteristics.
- the heat of the condensing tubular extension is transferred to the working fluid and then from the latter to the hermetic shell, to be dissipated to the ambient air.
- Figure 1 represents an exploded vertical sectional view of a condenser constructed according to the present invention and associated with the cabinet of a refrigeration appliance;
- Figure 2 represents a similar view to that of the previous figure, but illustrating the condenser mounted to the rear wall of the cabinet. Description of the illustrated embodiment As schematically illustrated and mentioned before, the present condenser is applied to a refrigeration appliance defined by a refrigerator or a freezer of household use, presenting a cabinet 1 of adequate construction and provided with a rear wall 2. According to the present invention, the condenser comprises a hermetic shell 10 to be externally attached to the rear wall 2 of the cabinet 1.
- the hermetic shell 10 is constructed in any adequate material, such as thermoplastic and metal, comprising a basic portion 11 in the form of a tray and provided with an outwardly projecting peripheral edge, in the form of a surrounding external flange 12 , which will be seated and attached, by any adequate means (not illustrated) against the rear wall 2 of the cabinet 1.
- the closing of the basic portion 11 is obtained by a cover 15, which is seated and affixed against the peripheral edge of the basic portion 11, and which is preferably provided with a gasket 16 provided between the basic portion 11 and the cover 15, so as to assure the tightness of the peripheral region where said two parts of the hermetic shell 10 are seated to each other.
- the fixation of the cover 15 to the basic portion 11 is obtained by affixing the latter to the rear wall 2 of the cabinet 1.
- the gasket 16 may be formed by an adhesive tape sheet glued to the peripheral edge of the basic portion 11.
- a condensing tubular extension 20 for condensing the refrigerant fluid of the refrigeration circuit of the refrigeration appliance, is mounted inside one of the parts of the hermetic shell 10.
- the condensing tubular extension 20 is attached, by adequate fitting means, to the internal part of the cover 15, before the latter is seated and affixed to the basic portion 11.
- the condensing tubular extension 20 may be defined, for example by a tube-wire condenser of known construction, which is mounted in series with the refrigeration circuit of the refrigeration appliance.
- the ends of the condensing tubular extension 20 are connected to respective tubular inlet tubes 13, which are provided through the hermetic shell 10 and connected to the refrigeration circuit.
- a working fluid 30, usually treated water by means of an upper nozzle 14, which is preferably provided in the basic portion 11, making the condensing tubular extension 20 be completely immersed in the working fluid 30.
- the hermetic shell 10 is then affixed against the rear wall 2 of the cabinet 1, as illustrated in figure 2. It should be understood that the filling of the hermetic shell 10 with the working fluid 30 may be achieved after the hermetic shell 10 has been attached to the cabinet 1.
- the hermetic shell 10 may present different embodiments. However, it is desirable that its shape causes a minimum possible interference with the total depth of the cabinet 1, maintaining the rear wall thereof with a "clean" appearance. Therefore, the hermetic shell 10 presents height and width that are compatible with the same dimensions of the rear wall 2 of the cabinet 1, and a thickness that is substantially smaller than said other dimensions. Since the working fluid 30, exemplarily represented by water, is a thermal conductor better than the air, the proposed construction allows a more efficient heat dissipation and consequently the use of smaller condensing tubular extensions (condensers) 20. Besides the aspect mentioned above, , the heat exchange between the working fluid 30 and the hermetic shell 10 is efficient enough to maintain the walls of the latter at temperatures that are approximately uniform and close to the condensing temperature of the refrigerant fluid.
