Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a condenser receiver adapted to receive and house a fluid used in a cold loop of an air-conditioning circuit. The condenser receiver comprises an outer wall and an inner wall which define an intermediate space, said inner wall defining an inner space for housing the fluid. The intermediate space comprises a static component adapted to store and release a given quantity of heat in order to allow a heat exchange between the static component and the fluid contained in the inner space.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A condenser cylinder adapted to receive and contain a fluid used in a cold loop of an air-conditioning system, the condenser cylinder comprising: an external wall; and an internal wall, said external and internal walls defining an intermediate space, said internal wall defining an interior space for containing the fluid, said intermediate space comprising a static component adapted to store and release a set quantity of heat to allow heat exchange between the static component and the fluid contained in the interior space, wherein said external wall extends beyond an end of said internal wall toward an upper end of the condenser cylinder such that a single cap inserted from the upper end of the condenser cylinder covers both said intermediate space and said interior space. 2. The condenser cylinder as claimed in claim 1 , in which the static component comprises a phase change material. 3. The condenser cylinder as claimed in claim 2 , in which the phase change temperature of the phase change material is between 45 and 55° C. 4. The condenser cylinder according to claim 1 , in which the static component comprises a liquid. 5. The condenser cylinder as claimed in claim 1 , in which the static component comprises graphite. 6. The condenser cylinder as claimed in claim 1 , in which the external wall of said condenser cylinder is provided with a plurality of ribs adapted to increase the surface area of the external wall of the condenser cylinder.
