A collector for the liquid phase of the working medium of an air conditioning system has first and second connecting pipes provided for connection into the circuit of an air conditioning system. One of the connecting pipes continues in a guide tube which is guided through the interior of the container of the collector. Part of the guide tube runs through the bottom region of the container, which is provided for vertical arrangement, and has at least one opening for recycling collected oil and the liquid phase of the working medium into the working medium circulating through the air conditioning system. In order to separate the liquid phase of the working medium of the air conditioning system, a cyclone-like separating device is provided. The separating device has a cyclone chamber and a central outflow connecting pipe forming an overflow. One of the connecting pipes leads tangentially into the cyclone chamber and the open end of the guide tube ends at a short distance before the outflow connecting pipe. The collector is thereby effective as a separating device for separating off liquid phases owing to the cyclone effect in the cyclone chamber when flow passes from the first connecting pipe to the second connecting pipe while, when the direction of flow is reversed, the collector returns the liquid phase, including oil, present in the collector through the opening into the flow in the circuit.

An accumulator having an improved baffle connection and a related method of interlocking an outlet tube and baffle within annular grooves of a passage of an enclosure to prevent blow by of liquid refrigerant fluid past the baffle connection. The baffle includes a cylindrical extension having a mounting passage through which an outlet tube extends. The cylindrical extension and outlet tube extend into the passage of the enclosure and are engaged within one or more of the annular grooves of the enclosure to interlock the baffle and outlet tube to the enclosure. The enclosure preferably includes a puck having the passage therethrough, where the puck is inserted into a canister and then welded thereto.

A receiver dryer mounting bracket (38) for a condenser system (20) includes a body (76) and an arm (78) coupled to and extending from the body (76). The body (76) has an opening (90) and seat sections (92, 94) positioned at opposing ends of a length of the opening (90). Flanges (71, 73) on inlet and outlet pipes (34, 36) of the condenser system (20) are seated in the seat sections (92, 94). An arcuate crimp section (102) of the body (76) is compressed to secure the inlet and outlet pipes (34, 36) in respective ones of the seat sections (92, 94) to form a pipe assembly (30). The pipe assembly (30) is coupled to a header (26) of the condenser system (20) prior to furnace brazing, and a receiver dryer (32) is subsequently mounted to the bracket (38).

An accumulator dehydrator assembly for use in a refrigeration cycle of an air conditioning system having an inner housing for separating the liquid component from the vapor component of the refrigerant and an integral outer shell being cup shaped and having a bottom and side walls extending upwardly from the bottom to an upper edge defining an opening is disclosed. The inner housing is disposed within and spaced from the outer shell and defines a chamber therebetween. At least one spacer is positioned between the inner housing and the outer shell and positioned annularly around the side walls and is compressed for holding the outer shell onto the inner housing. The spacers define a predetermined distance between the inner housing and the outer shell to establish the chamber while securing the outer shell onto the inner housing.

An adsorbent unit for a refrigerant accumulator having a housing with a bottom wall and a side wall and a U-shaped pipe with a return bend adjacent the bottom wall and with first and second pipe portions extending from the return bend along the side wall, and a filter body extending outwardly from the return bend, the adsorbent unit including a porous adsorbent container, adsorbent in the container, first and second end portions on the container, a first tab extending outwardly from the first end portion of the container, an elongated slot in the first tab mounting it on the first and second pipe portions, a second tab extending outwardly from the second end portion of the container, and an aperture on the second tab mounting it on the filter body. A double adsorbent container adsorbent unit having elongated slots on tabs at the outer ends thereof for mounting about the first and second pipe portions.
摘要:
An evaporator for evaporating a phase change refrigerant in a space conditioning system such as an air conditioner, heat pump or refrigeration system, is provided. The evaporator includes an inlet for introducing the refrigerant into the evaporator, an outlet for discharging the refrigerant from the evaporator and plural conduits defining a plurality of hydraulic flow paths between the inlet and the outlet. In accordance with the invention, a separator is provided to substantially separate liquid refrigerant from vapor refrigerant before the refrigerant is introduced into the evaporator to enhance refrigerant distribution within the evaporator, thereby improving evaporator performance.

A condenser (10) with a return header tank (14) has a receiver or reservoir canister (22) physically attached along side the return header tank (14), and open thereto through a discrete upper inlet (20) and lower outlet (21). The bottom of canister (22) is closed by an end cap (34) that is, preferably, welded or brazed in place. Before end cap (34) is attached, a tube of desiccant material (24) is installed and located within canister (22) by a standoff (26) comprised of a tight fitting, notched, disk shaped base (28) and narrow central post (30) which is comparable in length to the height of the inlet (20) above the lower end cap (34). The tight fit allows the tube (24) to be inserted up into the canister (22), well away from the bottom of canister (22) and free of heat damage as the end cap (34) is attached. Later, in operation, the central post (30) keeps the tube (24) located clear of the inlet (20) and outlet (21).
摘要:
A vessel for use in a refrigeration system. The vessel includes a vessel body and at least one end wall for closing the vessel body, the end wall having a threaded receptacle. The threaded receptacle is configured to accept a threaded fitting and the threaded receptacle includes: an annular sealing surface for engaging a corresponding surface of the fitting, the sealing surface formed on a first side of the end wall; and a threaded surface defined by an inside wall of an annular protrusion, the annular protrusion having a longitudinal axis disposed generally perpendicular to the sealing surface, and wherein the protrusion extends longitudinally from a second side of the end wall toward an interior of the vessel body.
