Description

Gas-liquid separator and air conditioner
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of gas-liquid separation, in particular to a gas-liquid separator and an air conditioner.
Background
With the great application of 4G and the gradual popularization of 5G, the heat productivity of various data processing devices is increasing, and the requirements of data centers on the cooling capacity and the energy conservation of air conditioning equipment are also increasing.
The outdoor natural cold source in transitional seasons and cold winter is adopted to cool the data center, the operating cost of air conditioning equipment can be greatly reduced, and a refrigeration system which is designed by combining a fluorine pump heat pipe and compression refrigeration is commonly adopted. In winter or transition season, the outdoor cold air is very suitable to be used as a natural cold source, at the moment, a fluorine pump heat pipe refrigeration mode is started, the operation of the compressor is stopped, the fluorine pump is used for driving the refrigerant to realize heat pipe refrigeration operation, and the heat pipe transfers the cold energy of the outdoor natural cold source (cold air) in winter or transition season into the room to cool the data center, so that the operation cost of the equipment is greatly reduced.
Split air-conditioning equipment usually adopts mechanically driven split heat pipes, for example, fluorine pumps such as liquid pumps or air pumps are adopted to drive the refrigerant in the heat pipes to flow. When the heat pipe and the compression refrigeration device share a system, a mode of parallel connection design of a throttling element and a solenoid valve is generally adopted. The electromagnetic valve is closed during the compression refrigeration operation, and the refrigerant is subjected to pressure reduction operation through the throttling element; when the fluorine pump heat pipe is used for refrigerating, the electromagnetic valve is opened, and the refrigerant mainly passes through the low-resistance electromagnetic valve so as to avoid consuming excessive gravity action or the lift of the fluorine pump when passing through the throttling element.
When the heat pipe and the heat pump are combined to share the system, although a plurality of parts can be reduced, the debugging and the optimization of the system are very complicated problems, and some problems which cannot be ignored exist in the aspect of the reliable operation of the system. For example, a gas-liquid separator is arranged between an evaporator and a compressor, when a fluorine pump heat pipe operates, refrigerant gas at an outlet of the evaporator may carry refrigerant liquid which is not completely evaporated, and then excessive refrigerant liquid may accumulate in the gas-liquid separator, so that the refrigerant flow rate of a fluorine pump heat pipe system is affected, the liquid level of a liquid storage tank arranged at an inlet end of a fluorine pump is too low, and the cavitation phenomenon at a liquid pumping end of the fluorine pump is easily caused; when the fluorine pump heat pipe mode is converted into the compression refrigeration mode, the gas-liquid separator is easy to absorb gas and carry liquid due to excessive refrigerant liquid accumulated in the gas-liquid separator, so that the liquid impact phenomenon is easy to occur, and the operation reliability of the compressor is reduced.
In a conventional refrigeration apparatus, a compressor and a gas-liquid separator are generally disposed outside the chamber. In the process of gradually reducing the outdoor temperature in winter, the indoor refrigerant gas can slowly migrate to the outdoor unit, and can be gradually cooled and liquefied in the gas-liquid separator, and excessive refrigerant liquid can be accumulated in the gas-liquid separator, which can affect the starting operation of the compressor. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem of excessive accumulation of refrigerant liquid in the gas-liquid separator, and thus it is necessary to design a multifunctional gas-liquid separator.
The invention provides a gas-liquid separator and an air conditioner, which are researched and designed because the gas-liquid separator in the prior art has the technical problems that the starting reliability of a compressor is easily influenced due to excessive accumulation of refrigerant liquid in the gas-liquid separator.

The upper shell and the lower shell, the air inlet pipe and the upper shell and the air outlet pipe and the upper shell are connected in a sealing way by welding technology.
On the basis of the existing gas-liquid separator, the floating ball liquid level meter and the electric heating function are added.
