A condenser for air conditioning systems for vehicles, having an integrated accumulator and a subcooling section

摘要

A condenser for an air conditioning system for a vehicle, comprising:a plurality of tubes (14a-14f) parallel to each other and connected to a pack of fins,a pair of distributors (16, 18) orthogonal to the tubes (14a-14f) each of which has an internal volume (20, 22) divided into a plurality of chambers (26a-26d, 28a-28d) communicating with respective ends of the tubes, andan accumulator (34) integrally formed with the condenser and connected to one of said distributors (18). A part of the tubes (14a-14e) are disposed, with reference to the direction of circulation of the fluid, upstream of the accumulator (34) and form a condensing section and a part of the tubes (14f) are disposed downstream of the accumulator (34) and form a subcooling section.;The accumulator (34) extends in direction substantially orthogonal to the distributors (16, 18). The distributor (18) connected to the accumulator (34) has an integral pipe (48) which puts the accumulator (34) in communication with the subcooling section (14f).
