  • Patent number: 11624518
    Abstract: A method of conditioning air includes controlling a secondary refrigerant flow control valve to select between a first mode in which refrigerant flows from a discharge line to a main refrigerant flow control valve, and a second mode in which refrigerant flows from the discharge line to a gas reheat heat exchanger and then flows to the main refrigerant flow control valve. A heat transfer medium flow control valve is controlled to adjust the flow of the heat transfer medium into a heat source side heat exchanger. The heat transfer medium flow control valve allows the heat transfer medium to flow to the heat source side heat exchanger when the secondary refrigerant flow control valve is in the first mode, and adjusts the flow of the heat transfer medium to the heat source side heat exchanger when the secondary refrigerant flow control valve is in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 11604017
    Abstract: A vehicle condenser in which a notch portion of each coupling part of a pair of supports installed at the outermost sides of radiation fins extends so as to have a certain length from the tip of a body part to the inside end of the notch portion, or a through-hole is formed so as to be spaced by a predetermined distance toward the inside of the body part from the tip thereof, thereby preventing the radiation fins from melting when the clad on a header of a header tank is melted during the brazing of the radiation fins and flows along an embossing part, regardless of a method for manufacturing the supports. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the failure rate of the condenser and increase the efficiency of the condenser by maintaining the original state of the radiation fins.
