Description

Parallel flow heat exchanger with porous insert
The cross reference of related application
The application relates to and requires the U.S. Provisional Application No.60/649 of application on February 2nd, 2005,425, title is the priority of " PARALLEL FLOW EVAPORATOR INCORPORATINGPOROUS CHANNEL INSERTS (the parallel type evaporimeter with porous type passage insert) ", and the full text that is incorporated herein this application as a reference.
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to air-conditioning, heat pump and refrigerating system, more especially, relate to the parallel type evaporimeter of these systems.
Background technology
The definition of so-called parallel flow heat exchanger is widely used in air-conditioning and the refrigeration industry, and point out that heat exchanger has a plurality of parallel channels, in this parallel channels, refrigerant distributes with the direction that is basically perpendicular to the flow direction of this refrigerant in inlet header and outlet header and flows into.This is defined in the technos and generally is suitable for, and will be used to this paper in full.
The bad distribution of refrigerant in the evaporimeter of refrigerating system is well-known phenomenon.It has caused the obvious reduction of evaporimeter and overall system performance in very big condition of work scope.The appearance of the bad distribution of refrigerant may be owing to uneven airflow distribution, unsuitable heat exchanger orientation or collector and distribution system design of poor quality on the difference of the flow resistance of boiler channel inside, the external heat transfer surfaces.Bad distribution especially appears in the parallel type evaporimeter, this be since they for refrigerant enter each refrigerant circuits specific design.In order to eliminate or reduce trial that this phenomenon done the influence of parallel type performance of evaporator seldom or not success.The main cause of these failures usually with the complexity and the poor efficiency or relevant of proposition technology with the high cost of this scheme.
In recent years, be not only at automotive field and at heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC﹠amp; R) in the industry, parallel flow heat exchanger---aluminium heater of particularly furnace brazing (furnace-brazed)---has been subjected to many concerns and attention.The main cause of use parallel type technology is relevant with the corrosion resistance of the compactedness of its superior performance, height and enhancing.Parallel flow heat exchanger uses now in the condenser and evaporimeter of multiple product and system's design and structure.Although bigger benefit and benefit are arranged, the application of evaporimeter still has a lot of challenges and difficulty.The bad distribution of refrigerant is main an influence and obstacle of carrying out this technology in evaporator application.
As is known, the bad distribution of refrigerant occurring in parallel flow heat exchanger is because in channel interior and pressure drop different in import and outlet header and collector and distribution system design of poor quality.In collector, difference in length, the thing of refrigerant paths is separated (phaseseparation) and gravity is the principal element that causes bad distribution.In heat exchanger channel inside, the variation of rate of heat transfer, airflow distribution, manufacturing tolerance and gravity are principal elements.In addition, the recent trend that heat exchanger performance strengthens is the miniaturization (so-called passage aisle and microchannel) that improves its passage, and this has influenced the distribution of refrigerant again unfriendly.Because the control all of these factors taken together is very difficult, all failed so much control the effort of refrigerant distribution (the particularly refrigerant distribution in the parallel type evaporimeter) before.
In the refrigerating system that uses parallel flow heat exchanger, import and outlet header or header (use in this article of these terms is interchangeable) have the shape of a common cylindrical shaped usually.When two-phase flow entered this header, vapour phase was normally with liquid phase separation.Because these two kinds of things flow mutually independently, so the bad distribution of refrigerant can occur.
If this two-phase flow is to enter this inlet header than higher speed, then the momentum by this flow carries this liquid phase arrives this header away from this collector inlet distal part.Therefore, the passage of the most close this collector inlet mainly receives vapour phase, and mainly receives liquid phase away from the passage of this collector inlet.On the other hand, if it is very low to enter the speed of two-phase flow of this collector, then there is not sufficient momentum to carry liquid phase along this header.As a result, liquid phase enters the passage of close import, and vapour phase enters passage farthest.Equally, the liquid in this inlet header can be used for separating with steam by gravity, has caused similar bad distribution consequence.In both of these case, bad distribution phenomenon presents in evaporimeter soon and has reduced overall system performance.
In addition, bad distribution phenomenon can cause two-phase (zero superheat) state in the exit of some passages, forms potential overflow (flooding) at the compressor suction place, and it can transfer the fault of compressor soon to.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide the system and method that overcomes above-mentioned prior art problems.
The objective of the invention is to be that parallel type (microchannel or passage aisle) evaporimeter introduces pressure drop control, it is the pressure drop on the balance heat exchanger flow circuit basically, and has therefore eliminated bad distribution of refrigerant and the problem relevant with it.Further, the objective of the invention is provides refrigerant to expand in the porch of each passage, thereby eliminates main two-phase flow (two-phase flow is the one of the main reasons that causes the bad distribution of refrigerant) in inlet header.Have been found that and in each passage of parallel type evaporimeter, insert porous media or introduce porous media, then realized these purposes in the porch of each passage of parallel type evaporimeter.For example, during whole heat exchanger is carried out furnace brazing, these porous media inserts can soldering in each passage, chemically bonding or in place with mechanical method fixation.In addition, use for low cost, these inserts are used as mainly (and being unique) expansion gear, perhaps, in the situation of the accurate thermal control excessively of needs, thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) or electric expansion valve (EXV) are used as main expansion gear, and these inserts are as less important expansion gear.
Can use any suitable porous insert that to realize above-mentioned purpose.Suitable and cheap porous insert can be made by sintering metal, compressed metal, such as steel wool, custom-designed porous ceramics or the like.When placing cheap porous media insert in each passage at the parallel type evaporimeter or in the porch of each passage of parallel type evaporimeter, it presents the main resistance to the flow of refrigerant in the evaporimeter.In such a case, main pressure drop zone will appear on these inserts, and in the passage of parallel type evaporimeter or the change in pressure drop in the collector will play the part of the role of less important (inessential).Further, expand, account for main single-phase liquid refrigerant and flow through this inlet header because refrigerant takes place in the porch of each passage, when this porous insert during as main and unique expansion gear especially like this.So just obtained uniform refrigerant distribution, improved the performance of evaporimeter and system, simultaneously, do not lost accurately and to cross thermal conditioning when needing (as long as).In addition, the very low cost of the method that proposes haves a great attraction the present invention.
