Condenser

Abstract

A condenser where a refrigerant introduced from a compressor is coexisting in super-heated vapor, two-phase and super-cooled liquid states combines a plurality of refrigerant paths within at least one of super-heated vapor and two-phase regions to output the refrigerant to the super-cooled liquid region, and provides a proper percentage of the super-cooled liquid region.

1 . In an apparatus including a compressor and a condenser where a refrigerant introduced from the compressor is coexisting in super-heated vapor, two-phase and super-cooled liquid states, the condenser combines a plurality of refrigerant paths within at least one of super-heated vapor and two-phase regions to extend to a super-cooled liquid region.  
   
   
       2 . The condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the super-cooled liquid region to which the refrigerant paths for the refrigerant outputted from the two-phase region are combined to extend is formed at a rear end of the tube for the two-phase region.  
   
   
       3 . The condenser according to  claim 2 , wherein, as the plurality of refrigerant paths for the refrigerant outputted from the two-phase region are combined to extend to the super-cooled liquid region, the paths for the two-phase region are increased.  
   
   
       4 . The condenser according to  claim 3 , wherein, as the two-phase region is increased, efficiency of heat transmission is increased.  
   
   
       5 . The condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the refrigerant which is branched off into one or more and introduced into the super-heated vapor region passes through each two-phase region to flow into the super-cooled liquid region on the path combined by one or more, being outputted to a device that reduces at least one of temperature and pressure.  
   
   
       6 . The condenser according to  claim 5 , wherein the device that reduces at least one of temperature and pressure includes an expansion valve.  
   
   
       7 . The condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the super-cooled path region has a percentage ranging from 7% to 23% of the refrigerant path region of the condenser.  
   
   
       8 . The condenser according to  claim 7 , wherein the tube for the super-cooled liquid region has a proper percentage ranging from 7% to 20% of the whole tubes, whereby a coefficient of performance (COP) and efficiency of consumption electric power become optimal in an air conditioner.  
   
   
       9 . The condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the number of the whole tubes within the condenser is set to have two rows and 26 steps, and the super-cooled tube accounts for 7% of the whole tubes when being arranged in two steps, 15% of the whole tubes when being arranged in four steps and 23% of the whole tubes when being arranged in six steps.  
   
   
       10 . The condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the refrigerant paths for the refrigerant outputted from the two-phase region are combined to allow the refrigerant to be inputted into the super-cooled liquid region through the one or more combined refrigerant paths.
