Abstract
In a core portion of the receiver-integrated condenser, a condensing portion is disposed at an upper side of a super-cooling portion. A receiving unit is disposed at one end side of the core portion in a width direction, and refrigerant is U-turned in a refrigerant passage of the super-cooling portion at the other end side of the core portion in the width direction. In addition, a refrigerant outlet of the super-cooling portion is provided at the one end side of the core portion, a connector connected to the refrigerant outlet is disposed at a direct lower side of the refrigerant outlet, and the connector has a bottom surface used as a connecting surface connected with a pipe connector of a refrigerant pipe.
Claims14
A receiver-integrated condenser for a refrigerant cycle system of a vehicle, comprising:
- a condensing portion for cooling and condensing refrigerant discharged from a compressor of the refrigerant cycle system;
- a receiving unit which is disposed to separate refrigerant from the condensing portion into gas refrigerant and liquid refrigerant and to store liquid refrigerant therein;
- a super-cooling portion for super-cooling liquid refrigerant from the receiving unit;
- and
- a connector, connected to a refrigerant outlet portion of the super-cooling portion, through which the refrigerant outlet portion is connected to a refrigerant pipe of the refrigerant cycle system, wherein:
- the condensing portion and the super-cooling portion are disposed to construct a core portion in which refrigerant is heat-exchanged with air;
- in the core portion, the super-cooling portion is disposed at a lower side of the condensing portion;
- the receiving unit is disposed at one end side of the core portion in a width direction of the core portion to extend in a vertical direction perpendicular to the width direction;
- the super-cooling portion is disposed to define a refrigerant passage, in such a manner that refrigerant is U-turned in the refrigerant passage at the other end side of the core portion in the width direction, and the refrigerant outlet portion of the super-cooling portion is positioned at the one end side in the width direction;
- the connector is disposed at a lower side of the refrigerant outlet portion;
- and
- the connector has a refrigerant outlet port opened toward downwardly, and a bottom surface used as a connection surface connecting with a pipe connector of the refrigerant pipe.
