Abstract
A receiver dryer includes a heat exchange module connected to a radiator through a coolant line so as to enable coolant passing through the radiator to be supplied to the heat exchange module. The heat exchange module is configured to selectively perform heat exchange between the coolant supplied from the radiator and the refrigerant filling the inside of the housing.
Claims20
A receiver dryer configured to remove moisture from refrigerant discharged through a condenser and supplied to an inside of a housing and to separate the refrigerant into liquid refrigerant and gaseous refrigerant at the inside of the housing, the receiver dryer comprising:
- a heat exchange module connected to a radiator through a coolant line so as to enable coolant passing through the radiator to be supplied to the heat exchange module, the heat exchange module being configured to selectively perform heat exchange between the coolant supplied from the radiator and the refrigerant inside of the housing.
A vehicle thermal management device comprising:
- a radiator configured to perform heat exchange between coolant and air;
- a condenser configured to perform heat exchange between refrigerant and the air;
- a receiver dryer configured to remove moisture from the refrigerant discharged through the condenser, and to separate the refrigerant into liquid refrigerant and gaseous refrigerant;
- and
- a heat exchange module connected to the radiator so as to allow the coolant to move therebetween, the heat exchange module configured to selectively perform heat exchange between the refrigerant in the receiver dryer and the coolant supplied from the radiator,
- wherein the heat exchange module comprises a heat exchange part disposed inside the receiver dryer, the heat exchange part configured to perform the heat exchange between the coolant and the refrigerant.
