Abstract

The invention relates to a process and a plurality of embodiments of a fluidifier for condensing the interior coolant of an automotive air conditioning system into a saturated state, and for subsequent supercooling of said coolant, whereby the ambient air of the motor vehicle serves in said process as the external coolant. The path of flow of the interior coolant is divided into at least two parallel paths, which are subsequently united again. Upstream of said paths, the interior coolant is partially condensed from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and then condensed further along the first parallel path of flow into the saturated state, whereby the residual gas phase of the interior coolant is separated, whereas along the second parallel path, the interior coolant is supercooled and united again in the supercooled state with the saturated interior coolant of the first parallel path, the latter having been freed of the gas phase. Following the partial condensation, the interior coolant is supplied to the first and second parallel paths at a similar ratio of liquid to gaseous phase. Furthermore, along the second parallel path, the rate of flow of the coolant is reduced by a greater pressure loss in relation to the rate of flow of the coolant along the first parallel path.
