Abstract
The invention provides a flow collecting structure, a heat exchange core body and a heat exchanger, and relates to the technical field of heat exchangers. The current collecting structure, the heat exchange core and the heat exchanger provided by the invention enable the heat exchange core and the heat exchanger to be more compact and more compact.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a current collecting structure, a heat exchange core body and a heat exchanger.
Background
A printed circuit board heat exchanger (PCHE) is a compact heat exchanger that is fabricated by microchannel etch forming techniques and diffusion welding techniques. The microchannel etching forming technology gives the advantages of compact volume and high heat exchange efficiency to the heat exchanger, and the diffusion welding technology makes the metal atoms of the welding surface mutually diffuse, so that the welding effect with extremely high structural strength is realized. Therefore, the heat exchanger has great potential in the fields of solar energy utilization, nuclear energy utilization and hydrogen production. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a typical PCHE mainly comprises a multi-layer heat exchange plate 1, a fixed plate 2 and an external current collector 3, wherein the multi-layer heat exchange plate 1 and the fixed plate 2 form a PCHE main body part, the main body part of the heat exchanger is welded and formed by vacuum diffusion welding equipment, and then the main body part of the heat exchanger is welded with the external current collector by conventional argon arc welding. The upper limit of the thickness of the PCHE body part, in other words, the upper limit of the number of heat exchanging fins/heat exchanging area is basically determined by the limit of the height dimension of the temperature zone of the vacuum diffusion welding equipment. However, under certain heat exchange working conditions, the heat exchange quantity requirement is larger, the PCHE heat exchanger with a single module is limited by the heat exchange area, and the requirements are difficult to meet, so that the multi-module PCHE becomes a realistic and feasible solution.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, a typical multi-module PCHE is formed by arranging a plurality of multi-layer heat exchanger plates 1 in parallel and closing the inlet and outlet by an integral external current collector 4. However, the structural design has a disadvantage that a pressure test before assembly cannot be performed on a single module, and if a certain module leaks after the parallel welding of multiple modules, the whole multi-module PCHE cannot be used, and even needs to be scrapped. If the split external current collector is adopted, the pressure test of a single module can be realized, the pressure resistance of the molded multi-module heat exchanger is ensured to be qualified, but another problem is brought: i.e. a fixed plate 2 having a thickness comparable to the wall thickness of the split current collector is provided between the individual modules. For PCHE in service under high temperature and high pressure working conditions, the large-volume current collector often needs a large wall thickness to meet the requirement of structural strength, so that the thickness of the fixing plate 2 is thicker, the thickness of the multi-layer heat exchange plate 1 is severely limited due to the fact that the upper limit of the total thickness of a single module is defined, the heat exchange area of the PCHE is reduced, and in addition, the material cost of the split current collector with a large number is greatly increased. Therefore, how to optimize/avoid the pressure test problem and the heat exchange plate reduction problem caused by the two structures through the PCHE structure design becomes a key problem to be solved by the multi-module PCHE, and the problem is embodied in how to realize the miniaturization of the split type current collector through the structure optimization.
In view of this, the present inventors have devised a current collecting structure, a heat exchanging core and a heat exchanger through trial and error based on production design experience in the field and related fields for many years, so as to solve the problems in the prior art.

The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Embodiment one:
as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the present invention provides a current collecting structure 10 disposed on a heat exchange core 20, where the heat exchange core 20 is formed by welding a plurality of heat exchange plates 21 disposed in a stacked manner, the current collecting structure 10 includes a plurality of communication channels 11, at least one current collecting port 12 and at least one current collecting cover 13, the current collecting port 12 is disposed on a side wall of the heat exchange core 20, a notch 213 is disposed on a side edge of a part of the heat exchange plates 21, the plurality of notches 213 are sequentially connected to form the current collecting port 12, a plurality of communication holes 212 aligned with the notches 213 are disposed on the rest of the heat exchange plates 21, the plurality of communication holes 212 are sequentially disposed at intervals along the side edge of the heat exchange plates 21, the communication holes 212 of each heat exchange plate 21 are aligned and connected to form a communication channel 11, the communication channel 11 is communicated with the current collecting port 12, and the current collecting cover 13 is disposed at the current collecting port 12 and is hermetically connected with the side wall of the heat exchange plate 21 disposed outside the current collecting port 12.
The current collecting structure 10 provided by the invention forms a part of the current collecting structure 10 by utilizing the plurality of communication holes 212 and the plurality of notches 213 on the heat exchange plates 21, and forms the heat exchange core 20 with a part of current collecting function by stacking and diffusion welding the plurality of heat exchange plates 21, so that no external large-sized current collector is needed, and the heat exchange core 20 is more compact and more compact.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the current collecting structure 10 of the present invention is disposed on the heat exchange core 20, and is used for dispersing external fluid onto the multi-layer heat exchange plate 21 in the heat exchange core 20 or converging the fluid on the multi-layer heat exchange plate 21 into the current collecting structure 10, and compared with a conventional external current collector, a part of the structure of the current collecting structure 10 of the present invention is integrally formed on the multi-layer heat exchange plate 21, and the structure is simpler. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the heat exchange core 20 includes a plurality of heat exchange plates 21 stacked together, wherein a portion of the heat exchange plates 21 have notches 213 formed at their sides, and the heat exchange plates 21 having notches 213 are stacked together in sequence to form a current collecting port 12 having a groove-like structure on the side of the heat exchange core 20; the side of the heat exchange plate 21 without the notch 213 is provided with a plurality of communication holes 212 corresponding to the notch 213, and the communication holes 212 on the heat exchange plates 21 stacked together are overlapped up and down to form a communication runner 11 extending along the stacking direction of the heat exchange plates 21, wherein the communication runner 11 corresponds to the current collecting port 12 and is communicated with the current collecting port 12. Thus, the fluid entering the collecting port 12 can enter each layer of heat exchange plates 21 stacked together through the communication flow passage 11, and the fluid in each layer of heat exchange plates 21 can also be collected at the collecting port 12 through the communication flow passage 11.
Further, as shown in fig. 5, a collector cover 13 is covered on the outside of the collector opening 12 of the collector structure 10, the collector cover 13 is fixed on the side wall of the heat exchange core 20 (formed by the multi-layer heat exchange plates 21) and is connected with the heat exchange plates 21 in a sealing manner, a fluid pipe 131 is arranged on the collector cover 13 in a penetrating manner, and the fluid pipe 131 is communicated with the collector opening 12 of the collector structure 10. In this way, fluid can be fed into the manifold 12 through the fluid conduit 131 or fluid in the manifold 12 can be discharged through the fluid conduit 131.
Embodiment two:
the present invention further proposes a heat exchange core 20, as shown in fig. 5 and fig. 7 to fig. 13, where the heat exchange core 20 includes two pressure bearing plates 22 and a plurality of heat exchange plates 21, the plurality of heat exchange plates 21 are stacked between the two pressure bearing plates 22, a first micro-channel 215 is formed on a first heat exchange plate 21 along a stacking direction, a second micro-channel 217 is formed on a second heat exchange plate 21, two ends of the first micro-channel 215 are respectively communicated with the fluid pipeline 131 through a first current collecting structure 40 and a second current collecting structure 41, and two ends of the second micro-channel 217 are respectively communicated with the fluid pipeline 131 through a third current collecting structure 42 and a fourth current collecting structure 43, where the first current collecting structure 40, the second current collecting structure 41, the third current collecting structure 42 and the fourth current collecting structure 43 are all the current collecting structures 10 as described in the first embodiment.
According to the heat exchange core 20 provided by the invention, the collector cover 13 is in sealing connection with the side wall of the heat exchange plate 21, but not in sealing connection with the bearing plate 22 of the heat exchange core 20, so that the thickness of the bearing plate 22 is not required to be considered, the influence of the thickness of the externally connected collector cover 13 is only required to be considered from the perspective of mechanical structural strength, the thickness of the bearing plate 22 can be greatly reduced, and therefore, the number of the heat exchange plates 21 can be greatly increased and the heat exchange area can be obviously improved for the heat exchange core 20 with limited total thickness, and the volume size of the heat exchanger 50 under the same working condition is further reduced. Meanwhile, the collecting cover 13 only needs to be covered outside the collecting port 12, and does not need to cross the heat exchange core 20 in the vertical direction (the direction perpendicular to the heat exchange plate 21 and the pressure bearing plate 22), so that the volume of the collecting cover 13 is further reduced.
Specifically, a first current collecting structure 40 and a second current collecting structure 41 are respectively connected to two ends of the first micro flow channel 215, and a third current collecting structure 42 and a fourth current collecting structure 43 are respectively connected to two ends of the second micro flow channel 217. As shown in fig. 5, 7 and 8, wherein fig. 7 and 8 respectively show the structure of the heat exchange core 20 in opposite directions, the dashed arrows in the drawing indicate the flow direction of the first fluid in the first micro flow channels 215, and it can be seen that the first fluid is collected from the end surface of the heat exchange core 20 into each first micro flow channel 215 in the heat exchange core 20 through the first collecting structure 40 for heat exchange, and the first fluid after heat exchange flows out of the heat exchange core 20 from the other end of the first micro flow channel 215 through the second collecting structure 41. The solid arrows indicate the flow direction of the second fluid, the second fluid is distributed from the side surface of the heat exchange core 20 through a third flow collecting structure 42 and then enters each second micro flow channel 217 inside the heat exchange core 20 to exchange heat, and the second fluid after completing the heat exchange flows out of the heat exchange core 20 from the other end of the second micro flow channel 217 through a fourth flow collecting structure 43.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, 7 and 8, the structure of the heat exchange core 20 is shown, in which two first current collecting structures 40 are inlets for the first fluid, one second current collecting structure 41 is an outlet for the first fluid, one third current collecting structure 42 is an inlet for the second fluid, and two fourth current collecting structures 43 are outlets for the second fluid. As can be seen from the drawing, the first fluid flows into the heat exchange core 20 through two first collecting structures 40 distributed on the upper and lower sides of the heat exchange core 20, and flows out through a second collecting structure 41 which is slightly larger and distributed on the middle of the heat exchange core 20 in the vertical direction. The second fluid, on the contrary, flows in from a third collecting structure 42 located at the side of the heat exchange core 20 and located at the middle in the vertical direction, and flows out from two fourth collecting structures 43 distributed at the upper and lower sides of the side of the heat exchange core 20.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 9 to 13, a plurality of first micro flow channels 215 are formed on a first heat exchange plate 21 in parallel, and on the heat exchange plate 21, one end of each first micro flow channel 215 is connected to a communication hole 212 or a notch 213 of the first current collecting structure 40 through a first connection flow channel 216, and the other end of each first micro flow channel 215 is connected to a communication hole 212 or a notch 213 of the second current collecting structure 41 through a first connection flow channel 216. As shown in fig. 6, it can be seen that by the smart arrangement of the first manifold structure 40, the first fluid entering the manifold 12 is split into three streams: one fluid horizontally flows into the first micro-flow channel 215 connected with the notch 213, and the other two fluids respectively flow to the upper and lower heat exchange plates 21 through the communicating channels 11 and then enter the first micro-flow channel 215 connected with the communicating holes 212 so as to meet the flow requirement of the whole heat exchange core 20; through the converging action of the communicating channels 11, the first fluid exchanges heat and then enters the second collecting structure 41.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 9 to 13, a plurality of second micro flow channels 217 are formed on the second heat exchange plates 21, and one end of each second micro flow channel 217 is connected to the communication hole 212 or the notch 213 of the third current collecting structure 42 through a second connection flow channel 218, and the other end of each second micro flow channel 217 is connected to the communication hole 212 or the notch 213 of the fourth current collecting structure 43 through a second connection flow channel 218. The second fluid entering the third header structure 42 is also split into three streams: one fluid horizontally flows into the second micro-flow channel 217 connected with the notch 213 of the third collecting structure 42, and the other two fluids respectively flow to the upper and lower heat exchange plates 21 through the communicating channels 11 and then enter into the second micro-flow channel 217 connected with the communicating holes 212 so as to meet the flow requirement of the whole heat exchange core 20; through the converging action of the communicating channels 11, the second fluid exchanges heat and then enters the fourth collecting structure 43.
In the present invention, as shown in fig. 9 to 13, the first heat exchange plate 21 includes two different structural forms, namely, a first heat exchange plate 30 and a second heat exchange plate 31, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, respectively; the second plurality of heat exchanger plates 21 comprises two different structural forms of a third heat exchanger plate 32 and a fourth heat exchanger plate 33, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, respectively.
As shown in fig. 11, which is a schematic structural diagram of the second heat exchange plate 31, a plurality of first micro flow channels 215 are disposed along the length direction of the second heat exchange plate 31, a series of communication holes 212 are disposed in the inlet and outlet areas of the first micro flow channels 215, the first micro flow channels 215 are connected with the communication holes 212 through the first connection flow channels 216, and the communication holes 212 (hollowed holes) form the communication flow channels 11 after a plurality of heat exchange plates 21 are stacked-diffusion welded. As shown in fig. 10, which is a schematic structural view of the first heat exchange plate 30, it can be seen that, since the connection between the collecting port 12 and the fluid pipe 131 ensures the inlet and outlet of the first fluid, part of the communication holes 212 are omitted and are provided with notches 213, and the rest of the structures are substantially the same as those of the second heat exchange plate 31.
As shown in fig. 13, which is a schematic structural diagram of the fourth heat exchange plate 33, a plurality of second micro-channels 217 are formed on the fourth heat exchange plate 33, a series of communication holes 212 are formed in the inlet and outlet areas of the second micro-channels 217, and the second micro-channels 217 are connected with the communication holes 212 through second connecting channels 218; the structure of the fourth heat exchange plate 33 is substantially the same as that of the second heat exchange plate 31 except that the flow direction of the second fluid is a side in and out and the structure of the second micro flow channel 217 is different. As shown in fig. 12, which is a schematic structural view of the third heat exchange plate 32, it can be seen that, since the connection between the fluid collecting port 12 and the fluid pipe 131 ensures the inlet and outlet of the second fluid, part of the communication holes 212 are omitted and are set as notches 213, and the rest of the structures are substantially the same as those of the fourth heat exchange plate 33.

Further, the communication hole 212 is a rectangular hole, and the rectangular hole has a rounded chamfer. Preferably, the rounded corners are provided at the root portions of the communication holes 212, which is also effective to enhance the mechanical structural strength of the communication flow passage 11.
Preferably, the thickness and the radius of the fillet can be adjusted by analyzing and designing the mechanical structure strength so as to meet the strength requirements of different working conditions.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of heat exchange plates 21 are formed as the heat exchange core 20 with a partial current collecting function on the basis of a diffusion welding technique, so that the heat exchange core 20 and the heat exchanger 50 are miniaturized.
