Method and Apparatus for improving refrigeration and air conditioning efficiency

摘要

A method and apparatus for improving refrigeration and air conditioning efficiency for use with a heat exchange system having a compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion device, and circulating refrigerant. The apparatus includes is a liquid refrigerant containing vessel having a refrigerant entrance and a refrigerant exit with the vessel positioned in the heat exchange system between the condenser and the evaporator, and means for creating a turbulent flow of liquefied refrigerant. The apparatus further preferably includes a refrigerant bypass path to sub-cool a portion of the refrigerant within the vessel; a disk positioned at the liquid refrigerant entrance to develop a low pressure area on the back side and create a turbulent flow of refrigerant entering the vessel; and a refrigerant valve incorporated into the refrigerant path downstream of the expansion valve and before the coil which develops a vortex that continues through the refrigerant coil.

主权项

1. A method of enhancing the efficiency of a heat exchange system having a compressor, condenser, evaporator, a circulating refrigerant, and an expansion device that has an expansion valve, said method comprising the steps of:
providing a vessel between the condenser and the evaporator so that a portion of refrigerant liquefied by the condenser flows into said vessel through a delivery tube; wherein said vessel has a refrigerant entrance and a refrigerant exit; providing a means for generating a turbulent flow of said excess refrigerant, and creating a bypass path for a portion of said liquid refrigerant entering said vessel.
