ところで、通常のカーエアコンにおいては、エンジンを停止させると、エンジンを駆動源とする圧縮機が停止するので、エバポレータに冷媒が供給されなくなり、冷房能力が急激に低下するという問題がある。   By the way, in a normal car air conditioner, when the engine is stopped, the compressor using the engine as a driving source stops, so that the refrigerant is not supplied to the evaporator, and the cooling capacity is rapidly reduced.

そこで、このような問題を解決するために、エバポレータに蓄冷機能を付与し、エンジンが停止して圧縮機が停止した際に、エバポレータに蓄えられた冷熱を利用して車室内を冷却することが考えられている。   Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the evaporator is provided with a cold storage function, and when the engine stops and the compressor stops, the interior of the vehicle can be cooled using the cold energy stored in the evaporator. It is considered.

And an evaporation section having a plurality of flat refrigerant flow pipe sections whose both ends are respectively connected to both refrigerant header sections, and fixedly provided on one surface of the refrigerant flow pipe section of the evaporation section. And a hollow regenerator in which a regenerator material is enclosed, and a set of a refrigerant circulation pipe part and a regenerator is provided at intervals in the length direction of the header part and adjacent to each other. The thing with which the fin was arrange | positioned between the group which consists of a refrigerant | coolant distribution pipe part and a cool storage is proposed (refer patent document 1).

特許文献1記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータによれば、冷媒流通管部を流れる低温の冷媒により蓄冷器内の蓄冷材に冷熱が蓄えられるようになっている。   According to the evaporator with a cold storage function described in Patent Document 1, cold heat is stored in the cold storage material in the cold storage device by the low-temperature refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant flow pipe portion.

しかしながら、特許文献1記載の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータにおいては、複数の蓄冷器内に蓄冷材を封入する作業が極めて面倒であり、製造作業が困難であるという問題があった。

蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(1)は、コンプレッサおよび冷媒冷却器としてのコンデンサとともに、フロン系冷媒を使用する冷凍サイクルを構成し、カーエアコンとして車両、たとえば自動車に搭載される。   The evaporator (1) with a cold storage function constitutes a refrigeration cycle using a chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant together with a compressor and a condenser as a refrigerant cooler, and is mounted on a vehicle, for example, an automobile, as a car air conditioner.

上述した蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(1)においては、コンプレッサのオン時には、図6に示すように、コンプレッサ、コンデンサおよび膨張弁を通過した気液混相の2相冷媒が、冷媒入口(12)から第1タンク(2)の冷媒用ヘッダ部(7)の入口部(7a)内に入り、分流して右側の扁平中空体(4)の冷媒流通管部(23)内に流入し、冷媒流通管部(23)内を下方に流れて第2タンク(3)の冷媒用ヘッダ部(14)内に入る。第2タンク(3)の冷媒用ヘッダ部(14)内に入った冷媒は、左方に流れ、分流して左側の扁平中空体(4)の冷媒流通管部(23)内に流入し、冷媒流通管部(23)内を上方に流れて第1タンク(2)の冷媒用ヘッダ部(7)の出口部(7b)内に入り、冷媒出口(13)を通って流出する。   In the evaporator (1) with the cold storage function described above, when the compressor is turned on, as shown in FIG. 6, the gas-liquid mixed phase two-phase refrigerant that has passed through the compressor, the condenser, and the expansion valve is supplied from the refrigerant inlet (12) to the first phase. The refrigerant flows into the inlet (7a) of the refrigerant header (7) of the tank (2), flows into the refrigerant distribution pipe (23) of the right flat hollow body (4), and flows into the refrigerant distribution pipe. (23) Flows downward through the refrigerant header portion (14) of the second tank (3). The refrigerant that has entered the refrigerant header section (14) of the second tank (3) flows to the left, divides and flows into the refrigerant distribution pipe section (23) of the left flat hollow body (4), The refrigerant flows through the refrigerant flow pipe part (23) upward, enters the outlet part (7b) of the refrigerant header part (7) of the first tank (2), and flows out through the refrigerant outlet (13).

そして、冷媒が扁平中空体(4)の冷媒流通管部(23)内を流れる間に、隣り合う扁平中空体(4)間の通風間隙を通過する空気と熱交換をし、冷媒は気相となって流出する。   While the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant flow pipe portion (23) of the flat hollow body (4), heat exchange is performed with the air passing through the ventilation gap between the adjacent flat hollow bodies (4). And leaked.

Is transmitted to the regenerator material enclosed in the refrigeration material. As a result, the regenerator material is cooled and solidified, and cold energy is stored.

圧縮機が停止した場合には、蓄冷材封入管部(24)内の蓄冷材の有する冷熱が、アウターフィン(5)を介して隣り合う扁平中空体(4)間を通過する風に伝えられる。したがって、圧縮機が停止した場合においても、冷房能力の急激な低下が防止される。   When the compressor stops, the cold heat of the regenerator material in the regenerator material enclosing tube (24) is transmitted to the wind passing between the adjacent flat hollow bodies (4) via the outer fin (5). . Therefore, even when the compressor is stopped, a rapid decrease in the cooling capacity is prevented.

蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(50)は、コンプレッサおよび冷媒冷却器としてのコンデンサとともに、フロン系冷媒を使用する冷凍サイクルを構成し、カーエアコンとして車両、たとえば自動車に搭載される。   The evaporator (50) with a cold storage function constitutes a refrigeration cycle using a chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant together with a compressor and a condenser as a refrigerant cooler, and is mounted on a vehicle, for example, an automobile, as a car air conditioner.

上述したエバポレータ(50)においては、コンプレッサのオン時には、実施形態1の蓄冷機能付きエバポレータ(1)の場合と同様に、コンプレッサ、コンデンサおよび膨張弁を通過した気液混相の2相冷媒が、冷媒入口(57)から上側冷媒用ヘッダ部(51)の入口部(51a)内に入り、分流して右側の扁平中空体(55)の冷媒流通管部(61)内に流入し、冷媒流通管部(61)内を下方に流れて下側冷媒用ヘッダ部(53)内に入る。下側冷媒用ヘッダ部(53)内に入った冷媒は、左方に流れ、分流して左側の扁平中空体(55)の冷媒流通管部(61)内に流入し、冷媒流通管部(61)内を上方に流れて上側冷媒用ヘッダ部(51)の出口部(51b)内に入り、冷媒出口(58)を通って流出する。   In the evaporator (50) described above, when the compressor is turned on, the gas-liquid mixed phase two-phase refrigerant that has passed through the compressor, the condenser, and the expansion valve is the refrigerant as in the case of the evaporator (1) with a cold storage function of the first embodiment. From the inlet (57), the refrigerant enters the inlet part (51a) of the upper refrigerant header part (51), flows into the refrigerant distribution pipe part (61) of the right flat hollow body (55), and flows into the refrigerant distribution pipe. It flows downward in the part (61) and enters the lower refrigerant header part (53). The refrigerant that has entered the lower refrigerant header section (53) flows to the left, splits, flows into the refrigerant distribution pipe section (61) of the left flat hollow body (55), and flows into the refrigerant distribution pipe section ( 61) flows upward in the upper refrigerant header portion (51), enters the outlet portion (51b), and flows out through the refrigerant outlet (58).

そして、冷媒が扁平中空体(55)の冷媒流通管部(61)内を流れる間に、隣り合う扁平中空体(55)間の通風間隙を通過する空気と熱交換をし、冷媒は気相となって流出する。   While the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant flow pipe portion (61) of the flat hollow body (55), heat exchange is performed with the air passing through the ventilation gap between the adjacent flat hollow bodies (55), and the refrigerant is in the gas phase. And leaked.

このとき、扁平中空体(55)の冷媒流通管部(61)を流れる低温の冷媒の有する冷熱が、仕切板(76)およびアウターフィン(92)を介して蓄冷材封入管部(62)内に封入された蓄冷材に伝えられ、その結果蓄冷材が冷却されて凝固し、冷熱が蓄えられる。   At this time, the cold heat of the low-temperature refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant flow pipe portion (61) of the flat hollow body (55) is transferred into the regenerator material enclosed pipe portion (62) via the partition plate (76) and the outer fin (92). Is transmitted to the regenerator material enclosed in the refrigeration material. As a result, the regenerator material is cooled and solidified, and cold energy is stored.

圧縮機が停止した場合には、蓄冷材封入管部(62)内の蓄冷材の有する冷熱が、アウターフィン(92)を介して隣り合う扁平中空体(55)間を通過する風に伝えられる。したがって、圧縮機が停止した場合においても、冷房能力の急激な低下が防止される。   When the compressor is stopped, the cold heat of the regenerator material in the regenerator material enclosing tube part (62) is transmitted to the wind passing between the adjacent flat hollow bodies (55) via the outer fins (92). . Therefore, even when the compressor is stopped, a rapid decrease in the cooling capacity is prevented.
