The present invention relates to an outdoor heat exchanger, and more particularly, to an outdoor heat exchanger including a variable baffle whose opening and closing are controlled according to a switching of cooling/heating modes of a vehicle heat pump system to easily change a refrigerant pass and reduce the number of refrigerant passes at the time of heating than at the time of cooling.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of principal heat exchange sections and auxiliary heat exchange sections. Each of the auxiliary heat exchange sections is in series connection to a corresponding one of the principal heat exchange sections. Tube number ratios of the principal heat exchange sections are obtained by dividing the number of the flat tubes constituting each of the principal heat exchange sections to by the number of the flat tubes constituting a corresponding one of the auxiliary heat exchange sections. Of the principal heat exchange sections, the first principal heat exchange section, which is the lowermost one, has the smallest tube number ratio. Consequently, discharge of liquid refrigerant from a lower portion of the first principal heat exchange section is accelerated during defrosting, thereby shortening the time required for defrosting.

An apparatus, system, and method of separating and directing process fluid flow via the use of both low pressure drop pipes and high performance tubes within a refrigerant evaporator are disclosed. The evaporator includes a shell; the shell includes a process fluid inlet and a process fluid outlet. The evaporator also includes a plurality of tubes disposed within the shell and carrying a process fluid; the plurality of tubes includes a first plurality of tubes and a second plurality of tubes. The evaporator further includes a plurality of redirect pipes disposed within the shell and carrying the process fluid; the plurality of redirect pipes includes a first redirect pipe and a second redirect pipe. The evaporator functions by separating and directing process fluid flow into two portions via the use of both tubes and redirect pipes.
