Heat dissipation device

In a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between a fluid, such as a refrigerant, and air, an object is to increase the surface areas of the fins while suppressing an increase in draft resistance, so as to attain the improvement of performance. To this end, corrugated sheet fins (70) are used as the fins of a heat exchanger (60). The fins (70) are shaped in corrugated form, and the direction of their edge lines is orthogonal to the leading edge and trailing edge. In the heat exchanger (60), a plurality of corrugated sheet fins (70) are disposed at a fixed pitch axially of heat transmission pipes (61).

Outdoor unit of air conditioner

A multiroom air conditioner has a plurality of indoor heat exchangers connected to a single outdoor heat exchanger. A reversible expansion valve is installed on a liquid-side branch pipe for each of the indoor heat exchangers, and a solenoid valve is installed on a gas-side branch pipe for each indoor heat exchanger. Temperature sensors are provided on the liquid-side branch pipes, on the gas-side branch pipes, and on the outlet side during cooling of the outdoor heat exchanger. A pressure sensor or a temperature sensor detects the saturation temperature on the high-pressure side of the compressor. Based on the saturation temperature on the high-pressure side of the compressor, the temperature on the outlet side during cooling of the outdoor heat exchanger, and the temperatures in the liquidside branch pipes, a controller controls the expansion valves so as to obtain a target degree of subcooling during cooling and heating. The controller can also control the expansion valves so that the temperatures in each of the branch pipes are approximately equal to one another.

Multiroom air conditioner

An air conditioning system comprising a refrigerant circuit. A thermal storage device is arranged in the refrigerant circuit and can store heat and utilize the stored heat to increase heating capacity at the time of kickoff of heating. A temperature detector detects a temperature at a thermal storage portion of a thermal storage and radiating heat exchanger which is housed in the thermal storage device. A counter counts a thermal storage operation period required for the temperature detected at the thermal storage portion to achieve a predetermined value, outputs a signal indicative of stopping a thermal storage operation when the detected temperature has achieved the predetermined value, counts the lapse of a predetermined thermal storage operation stoppage period after stop of the thermal storage operation, and outputs a signal indicative of starting the thermal storage operation when a predetermined thermal storage operation stoppage time has passed. A controller controls comparing the counted thermal storage operation period with a present value, and determines the next thermal storage operation stoppage period, depending on the length of the counted thermal storage operation period.

Air conditioning system with thermal storage cycle control

PURPOSE:To reduce noise at the time of operation by forming a shape of a partition plate covering an axial-flow fan in a convergent state from the entire periphery of a heat exchanger toward the outer periphery of a bellmouth of an air outlet, and forming an electric component chamber and a compressor chamber outside the plate. CONSTITUTION:An indoor unit 1 has a compressor chamber 22 containing a compressor 8 inside a right end and a right side partition plate 23 for forming a blower chamber 3 at a center. An electric component chamber 24 is provided inside a left end and a left side partition plate 25 for forming the chamber 3 is provided at a center. An air flow passed through a heat exchanger 7 is guided to left and right plates 25, 23 to smoothly flow from the entire surface of the exchanger 7 to a bellmouth, and disorder of a discharge air flow is eliminated. On the other hand, since the plates 25, 23 are formed in a convergent state, volumes of the chambers 22, 24 formed at both sides can be increased.

A heat exchanger comprises a plurality of regularly corrugated fins placed one over another in layers at regular pitches in a back-to-back arrangement so as to form alternate wide and narrow fluid passage between the adjacent corrugated fins, and each having a plurality of small through holes, a plurality of collars formed in a staggered arrangement, and an annular area not having any small through hole and formed so as to surround the root of each collar; and pipes for passing a secondary fluid therethrough, each inserted through the collars of the layers of the corrugated fins. The height of the collar from the lower surface of the annular area corresponds to the pitch between the adjacent corrugated fins, and thereby the corrugated fins can be assembled at regular pitches simply by placing one over another. The pipes are expanded after being inserted through the collars so that the pipes are firmly and closely joined to the collars for satisfactory heat transmission between the fins and the pipes.
