Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate elimination of sticking ice by furnishing a heat accumulation type heat exchanger to accommodate heat accumulative substance which generates overcooled state at the time of radiation after heated melting, allowing the heat accumulative substance to emit heat through contacting of a crystal nucleus forming substance, and thereby heating the washer liquid. CONSTITUTION:When a car is running, a communication on/off means 5 is set to the break side (solenoid valve 50 closed), and a PTC heater 3 is heated, and the heat emitted is supplied to a heat accumulative substance 21 to cause fusion thereof. The molten heat accumulative substance 21 is cooled while overcooled condition is retained, and thereby the absorbed thermal energy can be accumulated lastingly in the form of latent heat at solidification. In case ice has stuck to the windshield glass during winter period, the above-mentioned communication on/off means 5 is set to the communication side (solenoid valve 50 open) to allow contact of the heat accumulative substance 21 with a crystal nucleus forming substance in a seed crystal vessel 4, and thereby overcooled state is collapsed to cause temp. rise of the heat accumulative substance 21. Washer liquid 60 is heated using this heat and atomized off from atomizing nozzles 64, 65 in the form of warm water.

Since the heat storage material 21 in the heat exchanger 2 and the crystal nucleation material 41 in the seed crystal container 4 come into contact with each other, crystallization of the heat storage material progresses all at once, the supercooled state collapses, and a large amount of solidification occurs. The latent heat is released and the temperature of the heat storage material 21 increases. At this time,
After a predetermined time has elapsed, the delay timer 15 energizes the small motor 62 to drive the washer pump 63. The washer fluid 60 passing through the large-diameter portion 67 of the washer fluid hose 66 absorbs the latent heat held by the heat storage material 21, and the washer fluid 60 is heated. Heated washer fluid 60 (discharge pressure car 1 kg f/ct
A, discharge flow rate -10cc/sec) is the washer
The liquid is sprayed from the liquid spray nozzles 64, 65, and the ice that has formed on the front windshield of the vehicle A can be efficiently and instantaneously thawed. Therefore, when the outside air temperature is low and ice has formed on the front window B of the vehicle, such as early in the morning in winter, the washer fluid 60 is instantly heated by the latent heat held by the heat storage material 21. A desired field of view can be secured in a short time, and the driver can drive the vehicle A safely.

The bypass piping 73 uses a capillary tube so that the flow resistance is greater than that of the engine cooling water piping 71. Further, the bypass pipe 73 may be provided with a solenoid valve that operates in conjunction with the solenoid valve 72.

Reference numeral 18 indicates a delay timer, which de-energizes the solenoid valve 72 for a predetermined period of time (5 to 10 minutes) until the engine cooling water rises to a predetermined temperature even if the valve opening/closing switch is closed. It functions to flow into the bypass piping 73.

In other words, when the engine cooling water is running normally, the solenoid valve 73 remains open and supplies heat to the heat storage material 21, and when the temperature of the engine cooling water is low (early morning in extremely cold weather), the solenoid valve 73 remains open. The valve is closed and the supply of engine cooling water to the heat exchanger 2 is stopped, so that loss of heat from the heat storage material 21 can be prevented. The delay timer 18 is replaced by a thermistor, and the solenoid valve 73 can be controlled to open or close depending on the temperature inside the heat exchanger 2.
