HEAT EXCHANGE ACCUMULATOR FOR SEPARATING GAS AND LIQUID WHILE EXCHANGING HEAT AT THE SAME TIME

摘要

PURPOSE: A heat exchange accumulator is provided to reduce the manufacturing cost by separating gas and liquid while exchanging heat at the same time. CONSTITUTION: A heat exchange accumulator includes a body cylinder(10), an upper cap(20) combined with an upper part of the body cylinder, a lower cap(30) combined with a lower part of the body cylinder, and a high pressure side refrigerant pipe(40) contained in the body cylinder. A low pressure side refrigerant inlet pipe(21) is combined with the upper cap, and a low pressure side refrigerant outflow pipe(31) is combined wit the lower cap, wherein one end(32) of the low pressure side refrigerant outflow pipe is extended to the inside of the body cylinder. The high pressure side refrigerant pipe is formed by winding a refrigerant tube(41) several times. A low pressure side refrigerant flowed into through the low pressure side refrigerant inlet pipe flows downward in association with the refrigerant tube of the high pressure side refrigerant pipe, exchanging heat with a high pressure side refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant tube. Only gaseous refrigerant among the low pressure side refrigerant accumulated at a bottom of an accumulator is moved out through the low pressure side refrigerant outflow pipe.
