  • Patent number: 11884138
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle air conditioner and, more specifically, to a vehicle air conditioner which supplies, to a variable heat exchanger, condensate water and air, that have been blown by means of a supply part and passed through an evaporator, so as to enable sub-cooling and overall performance of the variable heat exchanger to be improved during cooling, thereby further increasing cooling performance, and which may use air and condensate water as a heat-absorbing heat source during heating so as to further increase the heat absorption amount of the variable heat exchanger, so that heating performance may be further increased, and thus overall power consumption for air conditioning may be reduced and an increase in heat pump system performance may be promoted.

  • Publication number: 20220390155
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vehicle air-conditioning system comprising: a pair of evaporation units which cause heat exchange between a refrigerant and air, and which are arranged to be spaced apart from each other so as to discharge cold air in different directions; one expansion valve, which expands a low-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant so as to supply same to the evaporation unit; an inlet pipe in which the refrigerant of the expansion valve moves to a first evaporation unit; a first moving pipe in which the refrigerant having circulated through one region of the first evaporation unit moves to a second evaporation unit; a second moving pipe in which the refrigerant having circulated through the second evaporation unit moves to the first evaporation unit; and an outlet pipe through which the refrigerant having circulated through the first evaporation unit flows out.
