ABSTRACT:
A condenser for a refrigerant circuit including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator which are sequentially disposed is disclosed. The condenser includes a plurality of tubes having opposite first and second open ends, and a plurality of fins disposed between the plurality of tubes. First and second header pipes are fixedly disposed at the opposite ends respectively, and the open ends of the tubes are disposed in fluid communication with the interior of the header pipes. The first header pipe has an inlet which links the condenser to an external element of the circuit. The second header pipe includes a wall partitioning an interior of the second header pipe into first and second isolated cavities which are linked by a pipe member. An outlet union joint is linked to the second cavity. In operation, the refrigerant condenses to a mist as it passes through the condenser into the first cavity. The misty refrigerant is formed into drops of liquid as it passes from the first cavity to the second cavity and in the second cavity. The liquid drops accumulate in the second cavity and are discharged through the outlet union joint. Since the condenser of the present invention includes a receiver in the second header pipe, the need for a separate receiver element in the circuit is eliminated.
