Abstract

A combined heat exchanger is provided. The combined heat exchanger includes at least two heat exchanger cores, a first communicating member and a second communicating member. Each of the at least two heat exchanger cores includes at least a first collecting pipe, a second collecting pipe and multiple flat pipes. The flat pipes are vertically disposed between the first collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe. Both ends of the first communicating member are in communication with the first collecting pipes of two adjacent heat exchanger cores, respectively; both ends of the second communicating member are in communication with the second collecting pipes of the two adjacent heat exchanger cores, respectively; and the two adjacent heat exchanger cores are disposed on different planes.

First claim

We claim:

1. A combined heat exchanger, comprising at least two heat exchanger cores, a liquid separator, a first communicating member and a second communicating member, wherein each of the at least two heat exchanger cores comprises at least a first collecting pipe, a second collecting pipe and a plurality of flat pipes vertically disposed between the first collecting pipe and the second collecting pipe, both ends of the first communicating member are in communication with the first collecting pipes of two adjacent heat exchanger cores, respectively, both ends of the second communicating member are in communication with the second collecting pipes of the two adjacent heat exchanger cores, respectively, and the two adjacent heat exchanger cores are disposed on different planes,
wherein the liquid separator is located in the first collecting pipe, and the both ends of the first communicating member are in communication with the liquid separators of two adjacent first collecting pipes, respectively.

2. The combined heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the first communicating member comprises two first linear pipes and a first bending pipe disposed between the two first linear pipes, and one end of the first linear pipe is in communication with the first collecting pipe and connected to the first collecting pipe by welding.

3. The combined heat exchanger of claim 2 , wherein both ends of the first bending pipe are provided with flared sections, respectively, and the two first linear pipes extend into the corresponding flared section, respectively, and are in communication with the first bending pipe.

4. The combined heat exchanger of claim 1 , wherein the second communicating member comprises two second linear pipes and a second bending pipe disposed between the two second linear pipes, and one end of the second linear pipe is in communication with the second collecting pipe and connected to the second collecting pipe by welding.

5. The combined heat exchanger of claim 4 , wherein a diameter of the second bending pipe is greater than a diameter of the first bending pipe.

6. The combined heat exchanger of claim 1 , further comprising a connecting member, wherein the connecting member is fixed to sideboards of the two adjacent heat exchanger cores, and the connecting member is made of metal.

7. The combined heat exchanger of claim 1 , further comprising an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, the inlet pipe is in communication with the first collecting pipe, and the outlet pipe is in communication with the second collecting pipe.

8. The combined heat exchanger of claim 7 , wherein the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are disposed on a same heat exchanger core of the at least two heat exchanger cores, or, the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are disposed on different heat exchanger cores of the at least two heat exchanger cores.

9. An air conditioning system, comprising the combined heat exchanger of claim 1 .
