Definitions
- This invention relates to refrigeration apparatus such as freezers, refrigerators and bottle/can coolers/chillers.
- Tne invention particularly relates to an improved condenser for use in such apparatus .
- Condensers heat exchange devices which remove heat from a refrigerant material and expel it to the atmosphere outw t the refrigeration apparatus are known. Condensers are normally located on a rearmost side cf a refrigeration apparatus, and are therefore termed "back condensers”.
- Figs 1 to 2 Known condenser designs are illustrated in Figs 1 to 2. These condensers comprise a condenser pipe having a plurality of substantially parallel spaced portions (lengths) , adjacent portions being connected by a louvered steel plate.
- adjacent portions are connected by a steel plate, opposing elongate edges of which plate are crimped to respective adjacent portions.
- Fig 2 adjacent portions are connected by a steel plate, elongate edges of the plate being suitably shaped so as to, with an adjacent plate, enclose a portion therebetween, adjacent elongate edges of the plate and the adjacent plate being spotwelded together.
- Fig 3 all portions are connected by a single steel plate, each portion being welded onto the plate.
- a number of problems have been found with prior art condensers. One problem is that of efficiency of heat transfer from the refrigerant material within the pipe to the atmosphere .
- a condenser for a refrigeration apparatus comprising a pipe for containing a refrigerant, one or more adjacent portions of the pipe being connected by a baffle, characterised in that the baffle provides a plurality cf wall portions, at least some wall portions being disposed m opposing directions relative to a plane extending betwee: respective adjacent portions of the pipe.
- Each baffle may comprise a plate formed so as tc provide a plurality of recesses, the recesses Deing spaced so as tc receive respective adjacent portions of the pipe.
- baffle may provide a plurality of wall portions, at least some adjacent wall portions of each baffle being disposed in opposing directions relative to a plane extending between tne respective adjacent portions cf the pipe. Wall portions of each of the two baffles may be r intimate contact with one another. The adjacent portions cf the pipe may be spaced at around 31.75mm centres.
- a refrigeration apparatus including a condenser, the condenser comprising a pipe for containing a refrigerant, one or more adjacent portions of the pipe being connected by a baffle, characterised m that the baffle provides a plurality of wall portions, at least some wall portions being disposed in opposing directions relative tc a plane extending between respective adjacent portions of tne pipe.
- the refrigeration apparatus may be, for example, a refrigerator, a freezer, or a bottle/can cooler/chiller, may be cf tne chest or front opening type, and may be fc: commercial or domestic use.
- a condenser for a refrigeration apparatus comprising a pipe fcr containing a refrigerant, one or rcre adjacent portions cf the pipe being connected joy at least zvc baffles.
- each baffle may provide a plurality of wall portions, adjacent wall portions being disposed m opposing directions relative to a plane extending between the adjacent portions of tne pipe
- a refrigeration apparatus including a condenser, the condenser comprising a pipe for containing a refrigerant, one or more adjacent portions of the pipe being connected by at least two baffles
- Fig 1 a cross-sectional view from aoove of a portion of a first prior art condenser
- Fig 2 a cross-sectional view from aoove of a portion of a second prio art condenser
- FIG. 3 a cross-sectional view from above of a portion of a third prior art condenser
- Fig 4 a cross-sectional view from above of a condenser according to an embodiment of the present invention
- Fig 5 a partial exploded perspective view from below and to the front of the condenser of Fig 4 ; and Fig 6 a view of the condenser of Fig 4 mounted on the rear of a refrigeration apparatus
- a condenser for use m a refrigeration apparatus
- the condenser 5 comprises a pipe 10 for containing and transporting a refrigerant (not sno n ) therethrougn
- the pipe IC is shaped so as to provi ⁇ e a plurality of adjacent portions 15 space ⁇ suostantially parallel from one another.
- the condenser 5 also provides first and second baffles 20, 25.
- Each baffle 20, 25 comprises a plate formed so as to provide a plurality of recesses 30, 35, the recesses 30, 35 being spaced so as to receive respective spaced portions 15 cf tne pipe 10.
- baffles Between and along adjacent recesses 30, 35 eacr. baffle
- the condenser 5 may be formed as follows. Plane, unformed, baffles 20, 25 are provided and recesses 30, 35 initially formed therein by pressing. Tne oaffles 2C, 25 are then Drought together so as to enclose tne pipe 10 within tne recesses 30, 35. The baffles 20, 25 are tnen tagged togetner by welds or the like. Subsequently the oaffles 2C, 25 are pressed so as to form walls 40, 45, 5C, 5 ⁇ Alternatively, the condenser 5 may oe formed by bringing together preformed baffles 20, 25 so as to enclose the pipe 10 within the recesses 30, 35. In doing this opposing surfaces of walls 40, 45 and walls 50, 55 are brought into proximity with one another. The baffles 20, 25 may again be retained together by welds or the like.
- adjacent portions 15 of the pipe 10 are spaced at approximated 31.75mm centres; the length of the portions 15 is approximately 486.15mm; the baffles 20, 25 are made from steel plate approximately 0.28mm thick; and the pipe IC is made from steel pipe of outer diameter 4.76mm.
- the condenser 5 may be mounted in a conventional fashion to a rear side cf a refrigerator cabinet 60 oy means of screws 65 extending tnrougr. flanged portions 73, 75 at first and second ends of tne condenser 5.
- the condenser 5 forms part cf a ref ⁇ geraticr. apparatus operating in a conventional way, le, extracting neat fror refrigerant material passing tnrougr. the pipe 10 and ⁇ umpmg such heat to atmosphere.
- the condenser 5 gives enhanced condensation.
- each baffle 2C, 25 has adjacent wall portions 40, 45, 50, 55 of each baffle 2C, 25 disposed in opposing directions relative tc a plane extending between respective adjacent portions 15 of tne pipe 10, only some of the wall portions require to be so disposed to provide the "chimney effect", and such wall portions need not be adjacent.
