Abstract
A condenser for a motor vehicle air-conditioning circuit includes a multitude of stacked main-section plates assembled to delimit first flow channels for a refrigerating fluid which alternate with second flow channels for a cooling fluid. The condenser includes at least two passes over the refrigerating fluid. The condenser also includes at least one condenser inlet and one condenser outlet for refrigerating fluid. The condenser also includes an inlet pass over the refrigerating fluid communicating with the condenser inlet and an outlet pass communicating with the condenser outlet. The cross section of the passes diminishes from the inlet pass towards the outlet pass.
Claims25
A condenser, for a motor vehicle air-conditioning circuit, said condenser comprising a multitude of stacked main-section plates (2) assembled to delimit first flow channels for a refrigerating fluid (F1) which alternate with second flow channels for a cooling fluid (F2);
- and
- wherein said condenser comprises at least one condenser inlet and one condenser outlet for refrigerating fluid and an inlet pass (a) over the refrigerating fluid communicating with said condenser inlet, and an outlet pass (c) communicating with said condenser outlet, the cross section of the passes diminishing from the inlet pass towards the outlet pass.
(canceled)
An air-conditioning circuit for the cabin of a motor vehicle, said air-conditioning circuit comprising an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser in which a refrigerating fluid circulates;
- said condenser comprising a multitude of stacked main-section plates (2) assembled to delimit first flow channels for the refrigerating fluid (F1) which alternate with second flow channels for a cooling fluid (F2);
- and
- wherein said condenser comprises at least one condenser inlet and one condenser outlet for refrigerating fluid and an inlet pass (a) over the refrigerating fluid communicating with said condenser inlet, and an outlet pass (c) communicating with said condenser outlet, the cross section of the passes diminishing from the inlet pass towards the outlet pass.
