  • Publication number: 20160069336
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compressor having a cylinder block having a center bore piercedly formed at the center thereof and cylinder bores piercedly formed around the center bore, a front housing and a rear housing mounted on both ends of the cylinder block, a driving shaft rotatably passing through the front housing and the center bore, and pistons linearly reciprocating in the cylinder bores with the power received from the driving shaft to compress a refrigerant. The compressor includes a permanent magnet disposed on either of the pistons or the cylinder block and coil parts provided to the other part, wherein power generation is conducted by means of the electromagnetic induction produced by the motions of the pistons.

  • Publication number: 20150176871
    Abstract: Disclosed are a heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may include a plurality of three-step tubes, each having a three-layered section and each having a liquid passage at a middle portion and module insertion spaces at opposite sides of the liquid passage, a plurality of thermoelectric modules inserted into the module insertion spaces, a plurality of cooling fins coupled to an outer surface of each of the three-step tubes, and an upper tank and a lower tank coupled to an upper side and a lower side of the three-step tubes to be fluidically communicated with the liquid passages of the three-step tubes. The three-step tubes and the cooling fins may be stacked laterally with respect to each other. The three-step tubes, the cooling fins, the upper tank, and the lower tank may be brazed by a same filler material comprising a metal.

  • Patent number: 8978412
    Abstract: Provided is a refrigerant cycle of an air conditioner for vehicles, and more particularly, a refrigerant cycle of an air conditioner for vehicles having a first evaporating unit and a second evaporating unit disposed upstream and downstream in a direction in which air blown from a single blower flows to control an amount of the refrigerant supplied to each evaporating unit, thereby making it possible to obtain optimal radiating performance (cooling performance) and cooling efficiency (COP) through the design of the optimal refrigerant flow ratio depending on the cooling load.

  • Publication number: 20110113803
    Abstract: Provided is a multi-evaporation system which carries out a multi-evaporation process in an air-conditioning cycle of a vehicle air conditioning system, thereby enhancing system efficiency. The multi-evaporation system includes a compressor 10 which sucks and compresses refrigerant; a condenser 20 which condenses the refrigerant compressed in the compressor 10; an expanding means 30 which receives the refrigerant condensed in the condenser 20 through an inlet port 31, branches the refrigerant into at lest two or more, discharges the refrigerant through at least two or more discharging part 32a to 32n, and throttles the refrigerant before or after the refrigerant is branched; and an evaporator 40 which comprises at least two or more evaporating parts 41 to 4N so as to receive and evaporate the refrigerant discharged from the expanding means 30 and then introduce the evaporated refrigerant into the compressor 10.
