Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.
119(b) to Chinese Application No. 201910403033.3, filed on May 15,
2019, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference
in its entirety.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of air
conditioning technologies, and in particular, to an adaptive
condensing device for a dual-loop heat pipe air conditioner.
[0003] A condenser is a component of a refrigeration system, and
can convert gas or vapor into liquid, and quickly transfer heat in
pipes to air near the pipes. The entire process is a heat release
process. V-shaped condensers are common on the market, are
generally air-cooled, and perform refrigeration by using forced
convection air. Air is driven by a fan and is forced to circulate
and flows horizontally through a finned tube to take away heat
released by a refrigerant. Finned tubes on left and right sides of
the V-shaped condenser are connected through upper and lower
gathering tubes. The vapor gathering tube is above the liquid
gathering tube. The finned tubes on the two sides play a
condensation role together. An applicant applied for a Chinese
patent with a publication number CN206439954U on Dec. 29, 2016, and
disclosed DUAL-LOOP AIR CONDITIONER INTEGRATING WATER-COOLING AND
HEAT PIPE AIR-COOLING FOR ROOM REFRIGERATION. When implementing the
Chinese patent, the applicant found that an indoor unit requires a
compressor evaporator and a heat pipe evaporator, and an outdoor
unit includes a water-cooled condenser and an air-cooled condenser.
That is, to make a compressor perform refrigeration under a working
condition and a heat pipe perform refrigeration under a working
condition, two condensers need to be configured, thereby resulting
in many components, complicated installation, a large floor area,
and high costs.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] An objective of the present invention is to provide an
adaptive condensing device for a dual-loop heat pipe air
conditioner, to make a compressor perform refrigeration under a
working condition and a heat pipe perform refrigeration under a

a compressor condensing heat exchanger are disposed on one side of
the condenser body, a second electric shutter and a heat pipe
condensing heat exchange micro-channel are disposed on the other
side of the condenser body, and a fan is disposed on the top of the
condenser body.
[0006] In the foregoing technical solution, the dual-loop heat pipe
air conditioner includes two refrigeration systems. One is a
compressor system, including a compressor evaporator, a compressor,
and an expansion valve. The other is a heat pipe system, including
a heat pipe evaporator and a heat pipeline. During use of the
adaptive condensing device for a dual-loop heat pipe air
conditioner in this application, an upper end of the compressor
condensing heat exchanger is connected to the compressor through
the pipeline, and a lower end is connected to an indoor unit
through the pipeline. One end of the heat pipe condensing heat
exchange micro-channel is connected to the heat pipeline, and the
other end is connected to the indoor unit.
[0007] When a compressor performs refrigeration under a working
condition, the fan is started, the second electric shutter is
closed, the first electric shutter is opened, a high-temperature
and high-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor condensing heat
exchanger from the indoor unit through a copper tube, and cool air
is driven by the fan to pass through the first electric shutter to
exchange heat with the compressor condensing heat exchanger, and a
low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant is then transported
back to the indoor unit through the copper tube.
[0008] When a heat pipe performs refrigeration under a working
condition, the fan is started, the first electric shutter is
closed, the second electric shutter is opened, a high-temperature
gaseous refrigerant enters the heat pipe condensing heat exchange
micro-channel from the indoor unit through a copper tube, and cool
air is driven by the fan to pass through the second electric
shutter to exchange heat with the heat pipe condensing heat
exchange micro-channel, and a low-temperature gaseous refrigerant
is then transported back to the indoor unit through the copper
tube.
[0009] The adaptive condensing device for a dual-loop heat pipe air
conditioner can make the compressor the heat pipe perform
refrigeration under the working condition, and there is no need to
configure two condensers, thereby reducing occupied space,
facilitating installation and maintenance, and reducing costs.
[0010] The present invention is further provided as follows: The
compressor condensing heat exchanger is located on a side of the
first electric shutter close to an interior of the condenser
body.
[0011] The present invention is further provided as follows: The
heat pipe condensing heat exchange micro-channel is located on a
side of the second electric shutter close to an interior of the
condenser body.
[0012] The present invention is further provided as follows: The
compressor condensing heat exchanger is a copper-tube aluminum
fin.
[0013] The present invention is further provided as follows: A
cavity is formed inside the condenser body, and an air inlet of the
fan is located in the cavity.
[0014] The present invention is further provided as follows: A
section of the condenser body is V-shaped.
[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
When the compressor performs refrigeration under the working
condition, the fan is started, the second electric shutter is
closed, and the first electric shutter is opened, and cool air is
driven by the fan to pass through the first electric shutter to
exchange heat with the compressor condensing heat exchanger. When
the heat pipe performs refrigeration under the working condition,
the fan is started, the first electric shutter is closed, the
second electric shutter is opened, and cool air is driven by the
fan to pass through the second electric shutter to exchange heat
with the heat pipe condensing heat exchange micro-channel. In this
way, the adaptive condensing device for a dual-loop heat pipe air
conditioner can make the compressor and the heat pipe perform
refrigeration under the working condition, and there is no need to
configure two condensers, thereby reducing occupied space,
facilitating installation and maintenance, and reducing costs.
