Cyclone for separation of gas-liquid mixture, and a refrigerant accumulator containing this cyclone

摘要

The present solution provides a cyclone for the separation of gas-liquid mixtures, particularly suitable cyclones for refrigerant accumulators or accumulators with an internal heat exchanger in vehicle air conditioning systems that use carbon dioxide as refrigerant medium, such cyclones comprising an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber, and an inlet of the gas-liquid mixture and a body of the cyclone having at least one stationary vane in the form of a spiral for ensuring rotation of the mixture in the cyclone outlet chamber, wherein the gas-liquid mixture inlet is substantially parallel to the axis of the cyclone It is coaxially disposed and opens directly into the inlet chamber of the cyclone body. This solution also provides an accumulator with an integral internal heat exchanger comprising a cyclone according to the invention and a refrigerant accumulator.
