Description

Heat exchange tube and air conditioner

Technical Field

The utility model relates to an air conditioner technical field particularly, relates to a heat exchange tube and air conditioner.

Background

The heat pump unit has more comfortable user experience because of the heat supply and refrigeration of the heat pump unit, and is gradually popularized and used. Due to the special requirement of the heat pump unit in the heat exchange mode, the heat exchange tubes required by the heat pump unit have evaporation and condensation effects. For the existing heat exchange tube, the two tube structures have great difference due to the difference of the evaporation and condensation heat exchange principles. The evaporation tube follows the nucleation theory and is biased to process various grooves or various micro-closed evaporation cavities; the condenser tube is usually biased to have various sharp fins according to the "Gregorig" effect to reduce the thickness of the liquid film of the refrigerant fluid.

The heat exchange tube commonly used by the heat pump unit at present mainly depends on the dry-type evaporating pipe and the flooded evaporating pipe, and efficient evaporation and condensation can not be realized. If a fin-type structure with evaporation outer fins and condensation outer fins distributed adjacently is adopted, although the dual functions of evaporation and condensation can be met, the distribution density of each type of outer fins is reduced, namely half of the outer fins have low heat exchange efficiency no matter evaporation or condensation is carried out, and meanwhile, due to the fact that two different outer fin structures are needed, the processing difficulty and the cost are further increased.

Therefore, the heat exchange tube in the prior art has the problem that high-efficiency evaporation cannot be met.
