Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A deflector for a condenser. The condenser has an inlet in communication with a compressor, and a deflector for guiding a refrigerant gas flow from the compressor is arranged in the condenser and at a position close to the inlet. The deflector is provided with a deflecting structure projecting toward the inlet, and the deflecting structure is configured as impermeable to the refrigerant gas flow.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A deflector for a condenser, wherein the condenser has an inlet in communication with a compressor, and a deflector for guiding a refrigerant gas flow from the compressor is arranged in the condenser and at a position close to the inlet, wherein the deflector is provided with a deflecting structure projecting toward the inlet, and the deflecting structure is configured as impermeable to the refrigerant gas flow; wherein the deflector includes a top plate facing the inlet, a first side plate extending from a first side of the top plate and a second side plate extending from a second side of the top plate; wherein the top plate is horizontal, and closer to the inlet than the first side plate and the second side plate, the first side plate and the second side plate extending downwards away from the inlet and the top plate at an acute angle. 2. The deflector according to claim 1 , wherein the first side plate and the second side plate are of the same size. 3. The deflector according to claim 1 , wherein the first side plate and the second side plate are symmetrically arranged on the first side and the second side of the top plate, respectively. 4. The deflector according to claim 1 , wherein the deflecting structure is arranged on the entire surface of the deflector. 5. The deflector according to claim 1 , wherein the deflecting structure is made of steel. 6. The deflector according to claim 1 , wherein the top plate, first side plate and second side plate are planar. 7. The deflector according to claim 1 , wherein a highest point of the deflector faces the inlet. 8. A condenser, comprising: an inlet in communication with a compressor, and a deflector for guiding a refrigerant gas flow from the compressor arranged in the condenser and at a position close to the inlet, wherein the deflector is provided with a deflecting structure projecting toward the inlet, and the deflecting structure is configured as impermeable to the refrigerant gas flow; wherein the deflector includes a top plate facing the inlet, a first side plate extending from a first side of the top plate and a second side plate extending from a second side of the top plate; wherein the top plate is horizontal, and closer to the inlet than the first side plate and the second side plate, the first side plate and the second side plate extending downwards away from the inlet and the top plate at an acute angle. 9. A refrigeration system, comprising: a condenser including: an inlet in communication with a compressor, and a deflector for guiding a refrigerant gas flow from the compressor arranged in the condenser and at a position close to the inlet, wherein the deflector is provided with a deflecting structure projecting toward the inlet, and the deflecting structure is configured as impermeable to the refrigerant gas flow; wherein the deflector includes a top plate facing the inlet, a first side plate extending from a first side of the top plate and a second side plate extending from a second side of the top plate; wherein the top plate is horizontal, and closer to the inlet than the first side plate and the second side plate, the first side plate and the second side plate extending downwards away from the inlet and the top plate at an acute angle.
