Abstract:
A multi-step method is disclosed for exchanging heat in a vapor compression heat transfer system having a working fluid circulating therethrough. The method includes the step of circulating a working fluid comprising a fluoroolefin to an inlet of a first tube of an internal heat exchanger, through the internal heat exchanger and to an outlet thereof. Also disclosed are vapor compression heat transfer systems for exchanging heat. The systems include an evaporator, a compressor, a dual-row condenser and an intermediate heat exchanger having a first tube and a second tube. A disclosed system involves a dual-row condenser connected to the first and second intermediate heat exchanger tubes. Another disclosed system involves a dual-row evaporator connected to the first and second intermediate heat exchanger tubes.

Claim (Index 16):
A vapor compression heat transfer system for exchanging heat, comprising:\n (a) an evaporator having an inlet and an outlet; (b) a compressor having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet is connected to the outlet of the evaporator; (c) a dual-row condenser connected to the outlet of the compressor, the dual-row condenser having:\n (i) an inlet, \n (ii) a first row connected to the inlet, the first row comprising a first inlet manifold and a plurality of channels for allowing a working fluid at a first temperature to flow into the manifold and then through the channels in at least one direction and collect in a second outlet manifold, \n (iii) a second row connected to the first row, the second row comprising a plurality of channels for conducting a working fluid at a second temperature less than the refrigerant in the first row, \n (iv) conduit connecting the first row to the second row; and \n (d) an intermediate heat exchanger, having:\n (i) a first tube having an inlet connected to an exit of the condenser and an outlet, and \n (ii) a second tube having an inlet connected to an outlet and an outlet connected to an inlet of the dual-row condenser; and \n wherein the inlet of the evaporator is connected to the outlet of the first tube of the intermediate heat exchanger.
