Abstract
Disclosed is a refrigeration cycle and a method for determining a capacity of a receiver of a refrigeration cycle. According to the present invention, the capacity of the receiver can be determined according to the variations of the paths of the condenser, which provides an ability of fully coping with the variations of the cooling load. When the method for determining the capacity of the receiver according to the present invention is applied in the condenser integrated with the receiver, it is possible that an optimal capacity where no brazing failure occurs is obtained, which means the optimal capacity for the receiver can be easily determined.
Claims9
A refrigeration cycle comprising a compressor, a condenser, a receiver, an expansion valve and an evaporator, wherein if a capacity of said condenser is represented by CVT and a capacity of said receiver is represented by RV, a relational expression of 29.71×ln(CVT)+35≦RV≦41.103×ln(CVT)+74.3 is satisfied.
