Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the energy efficiency and riding comfortableness by installing a flow rate variable valve on the cooling liquid inlet side of a heater core which heats the air for air conditioning by using the heat of engine cooling liquid and also installing a convection preventing valve on the outlet side. CONSTITUTION:With a state in which temperature of cooling liquid for an engine 12 is high, a flow rate variable valve 17 and a convection preventing valves are opened in accordance with such instructions as ''Remove window pane cloud'', ''Melt frozen ice'', or ''Warm the room'', and the air for air condition is heated by a heater core 16 by using the heat of the cooling liquid. The opening of the flow rate variable valve 17 is regulated to that required to maintain the car room temperature at the preset value. In the state of the maximum cooling or only ventilation, the flow rate variable valve 17 and the convection preventing valve 18 are closed. This prevents the cooling liquid from flowing into the heater core 16, while it also prevents natural convection of the direct, cooling liquid from the both engine 12 side and the confluence 20 side, thereby preventing heat leakage. With this contrivance, both energy efficiency and riding comfortableness can be enhanced.

Conventional configuration and its problems Conventional air conditioners that use the full reheating method are:
As shown in FIG. 1, the conditioned air fed by a blower 1 is cooled and dehumidified by an evaporator 2 on the upstream side, and an engine coolant (hereinafter simply referred to as "coolant") is sent to the heater core 3 on the downstream side. The coolant circuit is designed to reheat the coolant while adjusting the amount of the coolant supplied to the engine 6 by the coolant pump 5, as shown in FIG. After the heat is radiated in the heater core 3 through the variable flow rate valve 4, the heat is circulated to a confluence point 7 provided on the suction side of the coolant pump 5. In such a configuration, even if the variable flow valve 4 is completely closed when the heat dissipation action of the heater core 3 is not required, the coolant that has been dissipated by the radiator 8, passed through the three-way thermovalve 9, and reached the confluence point 7, and the bypass path The coolant flowing through the heater core 14 and the coolant staying inside the heater core 3 communicated through the heater core outlet pipe 10. As a result, the amount of heat of the coolant at the confluence point 7, which is higher than the temperature of the air passing through the heater core 3, is
By being transmitted to the heater core 3 by natural convection via the heater core outlet piping 1o, unnecessary heat is dissipated in the heater core 3, and the evaporator 2
There have been problems in that the cooling effect of the air conditioner is impaired and the energy efficiency of the air conditioner is deteriorated, and that the conditioned air is heated even in a blowing state in which neither the evaporator 2 nor the heater core 3 is operated.

When the engine 12 is started in a sufficiently cold state, the coolant pump 11 also rotates and circulates the coolant, but the temperature of the coolant is also low, and the temperature sensing three-way valve 15 is closed while the engine 12 is warming up. By switching the circuit, the coolant circulates only in a short circuit consisting of the coolant pump 11, the engine 12, the bypass passage 14, and the temperature sensing three-way valve 15. When the coolant temperature has risen to a temperature that does not pose a problem for warming up the engine 12, when a command is issued to the device to defrost the window glass in the vehicle interior or to perform heating operation, the flow rate increases. The variable valve 17 and the convection prevention valve 1 are opened, the cooling liquid flows through the heater core 16, and an appropriate amount of air is blown to the heater core 16, resulting in the operating state. The valve opening degree of the variable flow rate valve 17 is controlled to maintain a set indoor temperature during heating operation, for example, and the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the heater core 16 is changed to adjust the amount of heat radiation.

Heater knob 16 in maximum cooling state or in air-only state
When heat dissipation is no longer necessary, the variable flow valve 17 is completely closed, the anti-convection valve 18 is closed, and the flow of coolant to the heater core 16 is cut off. At this time, if air continues to be blown to the heater core 16, the coolant accumulated inside the heater core 16 will radiate heat and be cooled in a relatively short period of time, and will no longer have a heating effect on the air. Heater core 16
The flow path of the coolant accumulated inside is mechanically blocked by the variable flow valve 17 on the inlet side and the convection prevention valve 18 on the outlet side, so that the coolant does not flow from the engine 12 side to the heater core 16 and from the merging section 20 side. Heat leakage due to direct natural convection of the coolant is prevented.

- Transfer of conductive heat through the Yoshikawa port side piping 19 is considered, but both valves 17 and 18 themselves serve as a thermal resistance, and the influence of heat leakage to the heater core 16 is suppressed to a very small extent. Note that the coolant temperature is quite high (
For example, if the temperature reaches 80℃), the temperature detection three-way valve 16
is activated, and the radiator 13 radiates heat.
