Solderless hose connection for a line section of an air conditioning system

1. A method for manufacturing a connection between a hose and coaxial line section for a refrigerant circuit of a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

providing an outer pipe with an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the outer pipe is manufactured in an extrusion process;

inserting an inner pipe with an inner surface and an outer surface along with the hose situated at least partially on the outer surface of the inner pipe inside the outer pipe; and

deforming the outer pipe, the inner pipe or both so that the hose becomes clamped between the inner pipe and the outer pipe,

wherein the inner surface of the inner pipe defines a first flow path configured to circulate a refrigerant as a gas, and

wherein the outer surface of the inner pipe and the inner surface of the outer pipe define a second flow path coaxial to the first flow path and configured to circulate the refrigerant as a liquid such that, during operation, heat is transferred between the refrigerant in the first flow path and the refrigerant in the second flow path.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an expansion having an inner diameter is provided in the outer pipe, and wherein the inner diameter is large enough to accommodate the hose.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a connection point for a junction is provided in the expansion between the hose and an unexpanded area of the outer pipe.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

providing a fluting on the outer surface of the inner pipe in an area of the connection with the hose.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

providing an interior fluting in the outer pipe in an area of the connection with the hose.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein ribs are provided in the outer pipe.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the outer pipe is configured to provide the refrigerant to a carburetor and the inner pipe and the hose are configured to receive the refrigerant from the carburetor.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the outer pipe further defines an unexpanded portion and an expanded portion,

wherein the inserting step includes inserting the inner pipe along with the hose at least partially within the expanded portion of the outer pipe,

wherein the deforming step includes deforming the outer pipe, the inner pipe, or both such that the second flow path is at least partially defined by the clamped hose between the inner pipe and the outer pipe; and

wherein the method further comprises providing a connection point for a junction in the outer pipe at the expanded portion between the clamped hose and the unexpanded portion.

9. A coaxial line section for a refrigerant circuit of a motor vehicle, the coaxial line section comprising:

an outer pipe joined on one side with an expansion valve in a fluid-carrying manner and joined by way of a junction with a condenser in a fluid-carping manner, wherein the outer pipe has an inner surface and an outer surface and is manufactured in an extrusion process;

an inner pipe joined in a fluid-carrying manner with a carburetor, the inner pipe having an inner surface and an outer surface;

a hose clamped fluid-tight between the outer pipe and the inner pipe in an end area by inserting the inner pipe along with the hose situated at least partially on the outer surface of the inner pipe into the outer pipe and deforming the outer pipe, the inner pipe or both so that the hose becomes clamped between the inner pipe and the outer pipe,

wherein the hose is joined with a compressor in a fluid-carrying manner,

wherein the inner surface of the inner pipe defines a first flow path configured to circulate a refrigerant as a gas, and

wherein the outer surface of the inner pipe and the inner surface of the outer pipe define a second flow path coaxial to the first flow path and configured to circulate the refrigerant as a liquid such that, during operation, heat is transferred between the refrigerant in the first flow path and the refrigerant in the second flow path.
