TECHNICAL FIELD

Present disclosure generally relates to the field of automobiles. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to an air-conditioning (AC) system of a vehicle. Further, embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a waste fluid condensate management assembly for the AC system.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

An air conditioning (AC) system is used in all types of vehicles ranging from passenger vehicles to commercial vehicles, to provide comfort to passengers in different climatic conditions. In the AC systems, air may be drawn either from inside the cabin of the vehicle or from atmosphere. The drawn air is cooled by the AC system as per need of the passengers or the vehicle conditions and may be finally delivered to the cabin of the vehicle through one or more air vents provided in the cabin.

A conventional AC system includes a condenser with a plurality of fans. The condenser cools the refrigerant by rejecting heat to air and the refrigerant from the condenser. The refrigerant is subsequently fed to an expansion valve, where the refrigerant is allowed to expand, due to which the temperature and the pressure drops. This low temperature and low-pressure refrigerant are further directed to an evaporator. A plurality of blowers directs a stream of air to the evaporators. The low temperature refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs the heat from the incoming stream of air and cools the incoming stream of air. The cold air is further directed to the passenger cabin to provide thermal comfort to passengers. When the incoming stream of air is cooled, the water vapor in the air undergoes dehumidification process, which generates condensed water on evaporator fins that are provided in the evaporators. This condensed water is usually drained onto the road as wastewater. The water that condenses in the evaporator is at an approximate temperature of 10 to 15 degree Celsius.

Further, work done by compressor for pressuring the refrigerant and thereby increasing the temperature of the refrigerant requires power. This power is drawn directly from the engine of the vehicle. Consequently, the vehicle consumes more fuel when the AC system of the vehicle is in an operational state, thereby reducing the overall fuel economy of the vehicle. Further, the fans in the condenser also draw power from the battery which further increases the fuel consumption of the vehicle and thereby further reduces the fuel economy of the vehicle. Ancillaries in the AC system such as the condenser fans, compressor, blowers, etc. often run by drawing power from the engine of the vehicle and lead to reduced fuel economy in the vehicle. The above-mentioned ancillaries are majorly used to reduce the operational temperature of the refrigerant, so that the refrigerant at a lower temperature may absorb heat from the incoming stream of air and thereby cool air which is further circulated to the passenger cabin. This increased dependency of the ancillaries and the compressor in the AC system on the engine of the vehicle is not particularly suitable for an efficient operation of the vehicle. Therefore, it has become a necessity to reduce the operational dependency of these AC ancillaries on the engine, without compromising on the aspects of reducing the operational temperature of the refrigerant.

The present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above, or any other limitation associated with the prior arts.

It is to be expressly understood, however, that each of the figures is provided for the purpose of illustration and description only and is not intended as a definition of the limits of the present disclosure.

In the present document, the word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any embodiment or implementation of the present subject matter described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

While the disclosure is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiment thereof has been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described below. It should be understood, however that it is not intended to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the disclosure.

The terms “comprises”, “comprising”, or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a system that comprises a list of components does not include only those components but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such mechanism. In other words, one or more elements in the device or mechanism proceeded by “comprises… a” does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of other elements or additional elements in the mechanism.

The following paragraphs describe the present disclosure with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. In the figures, the same element or elements which have same functions are indicated by the same reference signs. It is to be noted that, the vehicle including powertrain and the chassis is not illustrated in the figures for the purpose of simplicity. One skilled in the art would appreciate that the air conditioning system as disclosed in the present disclosure may be used in any vehicles that employs/includes seats, where such vehicle may include, but not be limited to, light duty vehicles, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and the like.

Figure 1 and 2 illustrates a schematic representation of an air conditioning (AC) system (200) [hereinafter referred to as the AC system] of a vehicle employed with a waste fluid condensate management assembly (100) [hereinafter referred to as the assembly]. The AC system (200) may include a condenser (6) with a at least one condenser fan. A refrigerant may be circulated throughout the AC system (200). The fan in the condenser (6), may cool the refrigerant from a high pressure, high temperature state to a high pressure and a moderate temperature state. The AC system (200) includes at least one expansion valve (8) [hereinafter referred to as the expansion valve]. The expansion valve (8) may be fluidly connected to the condenser (6) through a refrigerant flow line (2). The refrigerant that has been cooled to a moderate temperature by the condenser (6), exits the condenser (6) and travels through the refrigerant flow line (2) into the expansion valve (8). As the refrigerant travels into the expansion valve (8), the expansion valve (8) removes or lowers the pressure from the refrigerant and allows the expansion of the refrigerant. The high-pressure and moderate temperature liquid refrigerant entering the expansion valve (8) may be quite warm. Further, due to expansion of the refrigerant inside the expansion valves (8), the refrigerant leaving the expansion valve (8) drops to very low temperatures and the pressure of the refrigerant also drops. This, low pressure and low temperature refrigerant is further circulated from the expansion valves (8) to the evaporator (5) through the refrigerant flow line (2). The evaporator (5) may be provided with a plurality of blowers [hereinafter referred to as the blower]. The blowers may be configured to blow or direct a stream of the atmospheric air or recirculated air from a cabin (9) of the vehicle onto the evaporator (5). As this air from the blowers is circulated through the evaporator (5), heat exchange takes place between the incoming stream of air and the low temperature refrigerant that is being circulated through the evaporators (5). The low temperature refrigerant absorbs the heat from the incoming stream of air and cools the incoming stream of air. As the refrigerant absorbs heat from the incoming stream of air, the refrigerant gets heated up to a moderate level and this moderate temperature refrigerant is further circulated to a compressor (7). The incoming stream of air which is cooled by the low temperature refrigerant inside the evaporator (5), is further circulated to the passenger cabin (9) of the vehicle by suitable air ducts. The incoming stream of air from the blowers may be humid and may comprise of water vapor. As this incoming stream of air is being cooled in the evaporator (5), the water vapor in the air condenses to liquid and forms water due to the low temperatures in the evaporator (5). The water vapor condenses into water and may be deposited on multiple fins inside the evaporators (5). This condensed water my further be circulated by multiple outlets in the evaporator (5) to the waste fluid condensate management assembly (100) [hereinafter referred to as the assembly]. As the water is being directed through the outlets of the evaporator (5) to the assembly (100), the moderate temperature refrigerant may simultaneously be circulated to the compressor (7). The refrigerant in the compressor (7) is compressed to high pressure and high temperatures and is further directed to the condenser (6) for being cooled through the refrigerant flow line (2).
In an embodiment, the evaporator (5) includes a plurality of evaporators (5). The plurality of evaporators (5) is in fluid communication with the expansion valve (8). However, the total number of evaporators used in the AC system (200) may not be limited. Any number of suitable expansion valves (8) and evaporators (5) may be used in the AC system (200). In an embodiment, the configuration of the above-described AC system (200) must not be considered as a limitation and other known configurations may also be employed.

The assembly (100) that receives the condensed water from the evaporator (5) is explained with greater detail below and reference is made from Figure 2 to Figure 5. The assembly (100) may include at least one heat exchanger (1) [hereinafter referred to as the heat exchanger]. The heat exchangers (1) may be positioned at an inlet of the condenser (6). The heat exchanger (1) may be configured around the refrigerant flow line (2). More particularly, the heat exchanger (1) is configured around the region of the refrigerant flow line (2) that extends between the compressor (7) and the condenser (6). In a preferable embodiment, the heat exchanger (1) may be configured around the refrigerant flow line (2) at a region that lies proximal to the inlet of the condenser (6). In this particular and exemplary embodiment, the heat exchanger (1) may be configured with two components that are substantially semi-circular in shape. Each of these two semi-circular shaped components may be hollow and may be configured to facilitate the flow of a fluid. The two semi-circular shaped components may be shaped to abut or complement the shape of the refrigerant flow line (2). The semicircular shaped components may encompass an outer surface of the refrigerant flow line (2) and may be connected by any known means including but not limited to fasteners, welding, rivets etc. As seen from Figure 5, the heat exchanger (1) may be encompassed around the outer surface of the refrigerant flow line (2). The heat exchanger (1) may be defined with an inlet (1a) and an outlet (1b). The outlet (1b) may be configured along a region of the heat exchanger (1) is proximal to the inlet of the condenser (6) and the opposite end of the heat exchanger (1) may be configured as the inlet (1a) to the heat exchanger (1). The inlet (1a) of the heat exchanger (1) may be configured to the hollow region of the heat exchanger (1). Similarly, the outlet (1b) of the heat exchanger (1) may also be configured to the hollow region of the heat exchanger (1).

The assembly (100) may include a first fluid tube (3). One end of the first fluid tube (3) may be fluidly coupled to the outlet of the evaporator (5) and the other end of the first fluid tube (3) may be fluidly coupled to the inlet (1a) of the heat exchanger (1). The waste condensate fluid from the evaporator (5) may be directed to the inlet (1a) of the heat exchanger (1) through the first fluid tube (3). First fluid tube (3) is this preferable embodiment is configured such that flow of fluid from the evaporator (5) to the heat exchanger (1) is through gravity. The assembly (100) also includes a second fluid tube (4). The second fluid tube (4) may be fluidly connected to the outlet (1b) of the heat exchanger (1). The second fluid tube (4) may be configured to extend away from the condenser (6) and may be configured to extend along the width of the condenser (6). As seen from Figure 1, the second fluid tube (4) may initially extend from the outlet (1b) of the heat exchanger (1) in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the condenser (6). The second fluid tube (4) may further extend in a direction parallel to the condenser (6). This region of the second fluid tube (4) that extends in the direction parallel to the condenser (6) may be defined with a plurality of nozzles (10). These nozzles (10) may be configured to spray water onto the surface of the condenser (6) as seen from the Figure 5.

The working of the above-described assembly (100) is explained below. The refrigerant in the compressor (7) is compressed to high pressure and high temperatures and is further directed to the condenser (6) for being cooled through the refrigerant flow line (2). The assembly (100) which is configured around the refrigerant flow line (2) between the compressor (7) and the condenser (6) may pre-cool the refrigerant before the refrigerant enters the condenser (6) for cooling. The condensed fluid that is being circulated through the evaporator (5) may enter the heat exchanger (1) through the first fluid tube (3). Since the temperature of the condensed fluid is already lower than that of the refrigerant fluid form the compressor (7), the condensed fluid cools the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant flow line (2). As the refrigerant flow from the compressor (7) to the condenser (6) through the refrigerant flow line (2), the low temperature/condensed fluid in the heat exchanger (1) may absorb the heat from the refrigerant and may pre-cool the refrigerant that flows into the condenser (6). The refrigerant may flow through multiple tubes in the condenser (6) and an incoming stream of air into the condenser (6) may cool the refrigerant in the condenser (6). Further, the spent fluid in the heat exchanger (1) is further directed into the second fluid tube (4) through the outlet (1b) in the heat exchanger (1). The fluid is further sprayed onto the surface of the condenser (6) through the nozzles (10) in the second fluid tube (4). The sprayed fluid further helps in absorbing the heat from the refrigerant flowing through the condenser (6).

In an embodiment, the second fluid tube (4) may be configured such that the spray of the fluid onto the condenser (6) is optimized. In an embodiment, the angular orientation of the nozzles (10) in the second fluid tube (4) may be configured such that the spray of fluid onto the condenser (6) is also be optimized. The optimization of the spray of fluid onto the condenser (6) may be defined as the aspect of ensuring the spray of fluid onto all the crevices and all the corners of the condenser (6). The optimization of the spray of fluid onto the condenser (6) may be defined as the aspect of ensuring the optimal size of droplets that is sprayed onto the condenser (6) for the efficient cooling of the refrigerant flowing inside the condenser (6). In an embodiment, aspects such as the distance of the second fluid tube (4) from the surface of the condenser (6) and the angular orientation of the nozzles (10) may be adjusted for optimization of the spray onto the condenser (6). In an embodiment, the angular orientation of few of the nozzles (10) may be configured to spray the fluid onto an upper region of the condenser (6) whereas the orientation of the other nozzles (10) may be configured to spray the fluid onto the middle and lower regions of the condenser (6). Thus, a set of nozzles (10) may be specifically oriented at an angle for individually spraying the fluid onto the upper region, the middle region and the lower region of the condenser (6). In an embodiment, the length of the heat exchanger (1) must not be considered as a limitation and the heat exchanger (1) may be configured to encompass the refrigerant flow line (2) for any given length based on the required rate of cooling for the refrigerant fluid. In an embodiment, the surface of the heat exchanger (1) that comes in contact with the outer surface of the refrigerant flow line (2) may be configured of highly heat conductive material including but not limited to copper etc. In an embodiment, the two components with the semi-circular shape must not be considered as a limitation and any shape of the heat exchanger (1) may be employed. In an embodiment, the second fluid tube (4) may include a pressure valve. The pressure valve may be configured at a section where the second fluid tube (4) begins to extend along the width of the condenser (6). The pressure valve may ensure that a pre-determined pressure of the fluid built up in the second fluid tube (4). Consequently, the pressure valve may ensure a pressurized spray of fluid onto the condenser (6) through the nozzles (10). In an embodiment, a pump may be configured to enable the flow of fluid from the evaporator (5) to the heat exchanger (1) and the pump may also ensure the pressurized flow of fluid onto surface of the condenser (6). In another embodiment, a pressure relief valve may be configured to the second fluid tube (4). The pressure relief valve may open and allow the fluid to bypass the nozzles (10) when the pressure inside the second fluid tube (4) is beyond a pre-determined limit. In an embodiment, the hollow region defined in the semi-circular shaped components of the heat exchanger (1) may further include sub-channels or protrusions which restrict the flow of the fluid and thereby ensure that fluid flows for a prolonged period inside the heat exchanger (1). Consequently, the refrigerant in the refrigerant flow line (2) may be pre-cooled to a greater extent.

In an embodiment, the assembly (100) of the present disclosure pre-cools the refrigerant before being subjected to cooling in the condenser (6). Consequently, the overall operational efficiency of the AC system (200) is improved. The assembly (100) reduces the dependency of the ancillaries (i.e., condenser fans, compressor etc.) on the engine by using the waste condensate fluid for cooling the refrigerant without solely relying on the ancillaries for reducing the temperature of the refrigerant. The condensate fluid is completely utilized by the above-mentioned assembly (100) before being pre-maturely drained onto the road.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the waste condensate is utilized in the above-mentioned assembly (100) and the refrigerant is cooled. Consequently, the excessive reliability of the ancillaries on the engine of the vehicle to obtain a suitable operational temperature of the refrigerant is reduced and thereby the fuel economy of the vehicle is improved.
