Description

Heat exchange device suitable for low-pressure refrigerant
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration, in particular to a heat exchange device suitable for a low-pressure refrigerant.
Background
The falling film evaporator has been applied to more and more refrigerating and air conditioning units due to the characteristics of higher heat transfer efficiency, less refrigerant charge amount and the like. Falling film evaporators generally employ the configuration shown in fig. 1, which includes an evaporator return tube 52, a liquid inlet tube 51, a refrigerant distributor 50, and an evaporator tube bundle 53. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant enters the evaporator through the liquid inlet pipe 51, the refrigerant drops on the evaporation tube bundle 53 after passing through the refrigerant distributor 50, and after heat exchange, the evaporated refrigerant gas is discharged through the evaporator air return pipe 52 and enters the compressor. The refrigerant distributor 50 of figure 1 is a critical component in a falling film evaporator and generally requires a sufficient pressure differential between the inside and outside of the refrigerant distributor to achieve uniform distribution of refrigerant to the evaporator tube bundle. For example, in a refrigeration unit using a medium-high pressure refrigerant (e.g., R134 a), the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the refrigerant distributor is usually 150 to 300kPa.
With the development of air conditioning technology, the low-pressure refrigerant R1233zd (E) has received more and more attention from the refrigeration and air conditioning industry due to its advantages of environmental protection, high efficiency, etc., and table 1 shows that, under a typical refrigeration condition (evaporation temperature 5 ℃, condensation temperature 36.7 ℃), the difference between the evaporation pressure and the condensation pressure of R1233zd (E) is only 23.1% of that of R134a, compared with the evaporation pressure and the condensation pressure of R134 a. For low pressure refrigerants such as R1233zd (E), the refrigerant distributor in the conventional falling film evaporator is apparently not satisfactory.

Therefore, there is a need for a heat exchange apparatus that more efficiently and uniformly distributes refrigerant to heat exchange tubes, suitable for use in low pressure refrigerant environments.

As shown in fig. 3, the second heat exchange unit 18 further includes a tube plate 30, a front header 31 and a rear header 32 provided at both ends of the second heat exchange unit cylinder 7. The front water tank 31 is provided with a water inlet pipe 26, a chilled water inlet pipe 27 and a chilled water outlet pipe 28. The inlet pipe 26 communicates with the inlet pipe 24 of the first heat exchange unit 16 through a pipe 38 and communicates with the cooling water inlet pipe 29. A partition 35 is provided between the inlet pipe 26 and the chilled water outlet pipe 28 to prevent the cooling water and the chilled water from being mixed with each other. A split-range partition plate 36 is arranged between the chilled water inlet pipe 27 and the chilled water outlet pipe 28. A partition 37 is provided in the rear water tank 32, and functions in the same manner as the partition 35. The rear water tank 32 is further provided with a cooling water return pipe 33 and is communicated with the rear water tank 23 of the first heat exchange unit 16.
When the heat exchanger works, cooling water is divided into two paths by the cooling water inlet pipe 29 through the pipeline 38, the first path of cooling water enters the first flow heat exchange pipe of the first heat exchange unit condensation pipe bundle 5 through the first heat exchange unit water inlet pipe 24, and enters the first heat exchange unit rear water tank 23 after forced flowing heat exchange in the pipe; the second path of cooling water enters the second heat exchange unit condensation tube bundle 10 through the second heat exchange unit water inlet pipe 26, enters the second heat exchange unit rear water tank 32 after forced flowing heat exchange in the pipe, then enters the first heat exchange unit rear water tank 23 through the second heat exchange unit water return pipe 33, is mixed with the first path of cooling water in the first heat exchange unit rear water tank 23, enters the second flow path heat exchange pipe of the first heat exchange unit condensation tube bundle 5, enters the front water tank 22 of the first heat exchange unit 16 after forced flowing heat exchange in the pipe, and then is discharged through the cooling water outlet pipe 34.

As shown in fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4, the first heat exchange unit 16 is a condenser, when the refrigerating unit works, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the exhaust port of the compressor and enters the inside of the cylinder 1 of the first heat exchange unit through the refrigerant inlet 2 of the first heat exchange unit, and the baffle 4 in the cylinder 1 can prevent the direct impact of the gas on the condenser tube bundle 5. After flowing through the condensation tube bundle 5 and exchanging heat with the cooling water in the tube, the refrigerant is condensed into high-pressure liquid, flows out from the refrigerant outlet 3 of the refrigerant first heat exchange unit, and enters the connecting pipeline 17. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled by the throttling device 6 and then becomes a medium-pressure two-phase refrigerant, and the refrigerant pressure difference between the front and rear of the throttling device is DP1= Pc-P1. The medium-pressure two-phase refrigerant enters the second heat exchange unit cylinder 7 through the second heat exchange unit refrigerant inlet 8, and the impact of the medium-pressure two-phase refrigerant on the condensing tube bundle 10 can be prevented by the baffle 11 in the second heat exchange unit cylinder 7.

The enthalpy difference between the refrigerant flowing through the condenser tube bundle 10 is DH = h1' -h1, which is the increased system cooling capacity using the condenser tube bundle 10. The medium-pressure saturated refrigerant is throttled and depressurized again through the refrigerant distributor 14 to become a low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, and the low-pressure two-phase refrigerant is uniformly dropped on the falling film tube bundle 13 at the lower part of the second heat exchange unit 18 to be evaporated to become a low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, enters the air return cavity 15 through the opening 20, and then returns to the air suction port of the compressor through the air return pipe 9 of the second heat exchange unit.

The pressure difference across the refrigerant distributor is DP2= P1-Pe.
Example two:
fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the two-flow water circulation loop of the second embodiment. As shown in fig. 5, the first heat exchange unit 16 further includes tube plates 21 disposed at both axial ends of the first heat exchange unit cylinder 1, and a front water tank 22 and a rear water tank 23. The front water tank 22 is provided with a water inlet pipe 24 and a cooling water outlet pipe 25. A split-level partition 34 is arranged in the front water tank to separate the water inlet pipe 24 from the cooling water outlet pipe 25.
As shown in fig. 5, the second heat exchange unit 18 further includes tube plates 30 disposed at both axial ends of the second heat exchange unit cylinder 7, and a front water tank 31 and a rear water tank 32. The front water tank 31 is provided with two branch water inlet pipes 39 and a chilled water outlet pipe 28. The two branch water inlet pipes 39 are communicated through a pipeline 38 and are communicated with a main chilled water inlet pipe 40. A partition 35 is provided between one of the water inlet pipes 39 and the chilled water outlet pipe 28 to prevent the cooling water and the chilled water from being mixed with each other. A partition plate 36 is arranged between the other water inlet pipe 39 and the chilled water outlet pipe 28.
When the refrigerating unit works, the chilled water is divided into two paths through a pipeline 38 by a chilled water inlet pipe 40, the first path of chilled water enters a water inlet pipe 39 of a second heat exchange unit, enters heat exchange pipes of a condensing pipe bundle 10 of the second heat exchange unit, and enters a rear water tank 32 of the second heat exchange unit after forced flowing heat exchange in the pipes; the second path of chilled water enters the first flow heat exchange tube of the falling film tube bundle 13 of the second heat exchange unit through the branch water inlet tube 39 of the other second heat exchange unit, enters the rear water tank 32 of the second heat exchange unit after forced flow heat exchange in the tube, is mixed with the first path of chilled water in the rear water tank 32 of the second heat exchange unit, enters the second flow heat exchange tube of the falling film tube bundle 13 of the second heat exchange unit, enters the front water tank 31 of the second heat exchange unit 18 after forced flow heat exchange in the tube, and is discharged through the chilled water outlet tube 28. The cooling water enters the first heat exchange unit front water tank 22 through the cooling water inlet pipe 24, then enters the first flow heat exchange pipe of the condensation tube bundle 5 of the first heat exchange unit 16, enters the first heat exchange unit rear water tank 23 after forced flowing heat exchange in the pipe, then enters the second flow heat exchange pipe of the condensation tube bundle 5 of the first heat exchange unit 16, enters the first heat exchange unit front water tank 22 after forced flowing heat exchange, and is discharged through the cooling water outlet pipe 25.
As shown in fig. 2, 5 and 6, the first heat exchange unit 16 is a condenser, and when the refrigeration unit works, after the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the exhaust port of the compressor, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the inside of the cylinder 1 of the first heat exchange unit through the refrigerant inlet 2 of the first heat exchange unit, and the baffle 4 in the cylinder 1 can prevent the direct impact of the gas on the condensation tube bundle 5. The refrigerant flows through the condensation tube bundle 5 and exchanges heat with cooling water in the tube, is condensed into high-pressure liquid, flows out from the refrigerant outlet 3 of the refrigerant first heat exchange unit, and enters the connecting pipeline 17. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled by the throttling device 6 and becomes a medium-pressure two-phase refrigerant, and the refrigerant pressure difference between the front and rear of the throttling device is DP1_2= pc-P1_2. The medium-pressure two-phase refrigerant enters the second heat exchange unit cylinder 7 through the second heat exchange unit refrigerant inlet 8, and the impact of the medium-pressure two-phase refrigerant on the condensing tube bundle 10 can be prevented by the baffle 11 in the second heat exchange unit cylinder 7. After passing through the condensing tube bundle 10 at the upper part of the second heat exchange unit 18, the medium-pressure two-phase refrigerant is condensed and changed into medium-pressure saturated liquid, and the enthalpy difference of the refrigerant passing through the condensing tube bundle 10 is DH _2= h1' -h1_2. The medium pressure saturated liquid falls uniformly from the condenser tube bundle 10 onto the refrigerant distributor 14, throttled again by the refrigerant distributor to become a low pressure two-phase refrigerant, with a pressure difference DP2_2= p1_2-Pe across the refrigerant distributor. The low-pressure two-phase refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant distributor 14 uniformly drops onto the falling film tube bundle 13 at the lower part of the first heat exchange unit for evaporation to become low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, enters the air return cavity through the opening 20, and then returns to the air suction port of the compressor through the air return pipe 9 of the second heat exchange unit. The liquid baffle 12 prevents refrigerant liquid from being sucked into the second heat exchange unit return pipe 9 with the gas.
The two-phase embodiment is relatively simple compared to the one-water embodiment, and the refrigerant pressure difference between the front and rear of the throttling device is DP1_2, which is advantageous for system regulation, because the chilled water flows in the condensing tube bundle 10 in the second heat exchange unit 18 and the temperature is lower. At the same time, the enthalpy difference DH _2 of the refrigerant flowing through the condensing tube bundle 10 is larger, thereby increasing the cooling capacity of the system.
Other embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the following claims.
