Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1640676A1] The device has an outer cylindrical wall (20) with channels (22) to vertically circulate refrigerant upwards at high pressure and temperature. An annular space (48) is defined between the wall (20) and a cylindrical wall of a refrigerant container (32) to vertically circulate the refrigerant downwards at low pressure and temperature. Heat is exchanged between the refrigerants. Connections for the refrigerant, and for connection to an evaporator and a compressor, are grouped respectively in an upper flange (26) and a lower flange (24). An independent claim is also included for a gas cooler for an air-conditioning circuit circulated by a refrigerant in gaseous phase.
