Abstract: A coil type condenser for a refrigerator holds a flow of air which cools the condenser by securing a condenser length enough to radiate heat and simultaneously holding enough pitch. In the coil type condenser, a pipe is wound spirally to face a blowing direction of cool air generated by a cooling fan of the refrigerator. The pipe includes a plurality of coils formed integrally each having upper and lower horizontal portions and left and right vertical sides, each of even numbered coils of the coils having a size different from that of each of odd numbered coils thereof. A support member welded to the pipe supporting the pipe. According to the condenser, since pitches between coils forming the coil type condenser are short, a suitable coil length of the condenser can be maintained in a narrow space. Thus, the coil type condenser can prevent an excessive pressure from generating when a compressor initially operates and can used for a small or medium refrigerator.

Abstract: An air conditioner operating on a compressor-condenser-evaporator circuit utilizes water cooled by air flowing over an evaporative medium through which the water flows to cool a condenser coil located in a continuous serpentine channel in a sump member located at the lower side of the air conditioner unit. The condenser coils include offset intertwined upright coils that provide a large heat exchange surface with water flowing in the channel to a pump intake region of the sump. A pump is provided to supply the evaporative medium with water from the pump intake region of the sump for continuous circulation through the evaporative medium and the sump channel. A water distributor system supplies water uniformly to the top area of the evaporative medium by creating a film of water that is evenly distributed across the top of the evaporative medium.
