Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A first header tank to which first heat exchange tubes of second and third heat exchange paths are connected and a second header tank to which second heat exchange tubes of a first heat exchange path are connected are provided at the left end of a condenser such that the former is located on the outer side of the latter with respect to a left-right direction and is offset from the latter in an air passage direction. The upper end of the first header tank is located above the lower end of the second header tank. The first header tank has a function of separating gas and liquid and storing the liquid. The first and second heat exchange tubes and side plates are bent in the same direction about a common vertical line. This condenser is suitable for use in a car air conditioner mounted on an automobile.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A condenser comprising a plurality of heat exchange tubes disposed in parallel such that the heat exchange tubes are spaced apart from one another in a vertical direction and extend in a left-right direction; header tanks which extend in the vertical direction and to which left and right end portions of the heat exchange tubes are connected; and fins each disposed between heat exchange tubes adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, in which three or…
