Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicular adsorption type air conditioning device including: a heater core and an interior heat exchanger that perform heat exchange between air inside a vehicle cabin and a heating medium; an exterior heat exchanger that performs heat exchange between air outside the vehicle cabin and the heating medium; a heating flow path section that circulates the heating medium between a high temperature heat source of the vehicle and the heater core; a plurality of adsorption vessels each including an adsorption section and an evaporation-condensation section, with an adsorbent and a refrigerant sealed within the adsorption vessels; and a flow path system; the flow path system being capable of switching between a cooling mode, a first heating mode, and a second heating mode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicular adsorption type air conditioning device comprising: a heater core and an interior heat exchanger that perform heat exchange between air inside a vehicle cabin and a heating medium; an exterior heat exchanger that performs heat exchange between air outside the vehicle cabin and the heating medium; a heating flow path section that circulates the heating medium between a heat source of the vehicle and the heater core; a plurality of adsorption vessels each including an adsorption section and an evaporation-condensation section, with an adsorbent and a refrigerant sealed within the adsorption vessels; and a flow path system that interchanges the heating medium between: the plurality of adsorption vessels and each of the heat source, the exterior heat exchanger, and the interior heat exchange, and that, while causing an adsorption process to take place in at least one of the plurality of the adsorption vessels, causes a desorption process to take place in at least one other adsorption vessel; the flow path system being capable of switching between a cooling mode in which the heating medium is circulated between the evaporation-condensation section of the at least one of the plurality of the adsorption vessels on an adsorption process side and the interior heat exchanger, a first heating mode in which the heating medium is circulated between the interior heat exchanger and the adsorption section of the at least one of the plurality of the adsorption vessels on the adsorption process side or the evaporation-condensation section of the at least one other adsorption vessel on a desorption process side, or the heating medium is circulated between the interior heat exchanger and both the adsorption section of the at least one of the plurality of the adsorption vessels on the adsorption process side and the evaporation-condensation section of the at least one of the plurality of the adsorption vessels on the adsorption process side, and a second heating mode in which the heating medium is circulated in parallel: (i) between the interior heat exchanger and the adsorption section of the at least one of the plurality of the adsorption vessels on the adsorption process side, and (ii) between the interior heat exchanger and the evaporation-condensation section of the at least one other adsorption vessel on the desorption process side.
