VEHICULAR/AUTOMOTIVE COMBINATION COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER UNIT

摘要

The present invention relates to a combination compressor and condenser unit for use in automotive refrigeration/air conditioning systems. A compressor sub-unit (205) compresses refrigerant and a condenser sub-unit (202) performs a condensing operation on the refrigerant exiting the compressor. The condenser and compressor sub-units are mounted together to form an integrated unit (210) such that the refrigerant exits the compressor sub-unit (205) directly into the condenser sub-unit (202) across an interface including a gasket or other seal positioned between the sub units.
