Condenser assembly for refrigerant

Abstract

A condenser assembly including a plurality of heat-exchanger pipes, which are arranged equidistant from each other having corrugated fins arranged therebetween and lead into deflection regions at both ends and have a free length used for heat exchange and, in connection with the corrugated fins, form a frontal area having a width corresponding to the free length of the heat-exchanger pipes and a height, such that the frontal area results from the product of width and height. The heat-exchanger pipes are connected in parallel in groups and the individual groups are connected in series. The heat-exchanger pipes of the individual groups are arranged adjacent and each group has at least two heat-exchanger pipes. The percentage share of the heat-exchanger pipes of the first group results from 26.162 In (S/dm2)−40.746≦P≦25.49 In (S/dm2)−27.842 for a frontal area.
