It should be understood that all the liquid homogenizing holes 201 are uniformly distributed on the liquid homogenizing part 2 to uniformly drip the refrigerant on the surface of the tube section of the heat exchange tube 1.

In the falling film heat exchanger of the embodiment, the liquid homogenizing parts 2 in the heat exchanger are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, at least part of the pipe sections of the heat exchange pipe 1 are arranged under each liquid homogenizing part 2, liquid refrigerants on the liquid homogenizing parts 2 can drop onto the pipe sections of the heat exchange pipe 1 below through the liquid homogenizing holes 201 under the action of gravity, the unevaporated refrigerants on the pipe sections of the heat exchange pipe 1 are converged on the pipe surfaces and drop onto the liquid homogenizing part 2 on the lower layer, and the liquid homogenizing parts 2 redistribute the refrigerants to the pipe sections of the heat exchange pipe 1 below; liquid distribution more than two stages can be realized, the uniformity of falling film liquid distribution under the working condition of small cooling capacity is improved, the refrigerant gradually absorbs heat and evaporates on different pipe sections of the heat exchange pipe 1, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the heat exchange tube 1 comprises refrigerant receivers 101 and connecting portions 102, wherein each refrigerant receiver 101 is located right below the liquid homogenizing portion 2, each connecting portion 102 connects the refrigerant receiver 101 located at the upper layer and the refrigerant receiver 101 located at the lower layer of the same liquid homogenizing portion 2, and all the refrigerant receivers 101 are connected through the connecting portion 102.

The refrigerant receiving part 101 is used for directly receiving the refrigerant dropping from the upper liquid equalizing part 2 adjacent to the refrigerant receiving part, so that the refrigerant exchanges heat with the fluid in the heat exchange tube 1. The connecting parts 102 are used for communicating the upper and lower refrigerant receiving parts 101 of the same liquid homogenizing part 2, and all the connecting parts 102 communicate all the refrigerant receiving parts 101 to form a complete heat exchange tube 1.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the coolant receiving portion 101 is a straight pipe structure, so as to receive the coolant dropping from the liquid homogenizing portion 2 and form a uniform liquid film on the surface; referring to fig. 1, the connecting portion 102 is an arc-shaped bent pipe structure, so as to prevent liquid in the heat exchange pipe 1 from flowing dead angles, and prevent the refrigerant from flowing dead angles on the surface of the connecting portion 102.

Under the little cold volume operating mode, little cold volume small size heat exchanger receives refrigerant volume, volume restriction, and heat exchange tube 1 is small in quantity, and heat exchange efficiency is low.

In view of this problem, in order to further improve the heat exchange capacity of the falling film heat exchanger, as an alternative embodiment, see fig. 1 and 2, a top view structure can be seen in fig. 2; the falling film heat exchanger further comprises an inlet pipeline 3 and an outlet pipeline 4, more than two heat exchange tubes 1 are arranged in the horizontal direction at intervals, inlets of all the heat exchange tubes 1 are communicated with the inlet pipeline 3, and outlets of all the heat exchange tubes 1 are communicated with the outlet pipeline 4.

Each heat exchange tube 1 includes the refrigerant receiving portion 101 and the connecting portion 102. The arrangement mode of the heat exchange tubes 1 can improve the number of the heat exchange tubes 1 in a limited space, and further improve the heat exchange amount. Even in a small-capacity heat exchanger with limited space, the heat exchange efficiency can be effectively improved.

The embodiment provides a specific implementation mode of a liquid equalizing part 2, and as shown in fig. 1 to fig. 3, the liquid equalizing part 2 comprises a liquid equalizing disc, the liquid equalizing disc comprises a bottom plate 21 and a peripheral wall 22 connected to the bottom plate 21, the bottom plate 21 can cover the upper surfaces of all heat exchange tubes 1 in the horizontal direction, an accommodating cavity with an open upper end is defined by the bottom plate 21 and the peripheral wall 22, and liquid equalizing holes 201 are formed in the bottom plate 21. The shape of the liquid-equalizing disc is not limited as long as the bottom plate 21 can cover the upper surfaces of all the heat exchange tubes 1 in the horizontal direction, and in order to improve the utilization rate of the liquid-equalizing disc as much as possible, preferably, as shown in fig. 2, the liquid-equalizing disc is a rectangular box body, and the length L and the width B of the liquid-equalizing disc are equal or unequal.

The liquid homogenizing part 2 adopts the structure of the liquid homogenizing disc, so that the refrigerant dropping from the refrigerant inlet 6 can be gathered in the liquid homogenizing disc and uniformly distributed to the heat exchange tube 1 below through the liquid homogenizing hole 201 on the bottom surface. The bottom surface of the liquid-equalizing disc covers the upper surfaces of all the heat exchange tubes 1, so that all the heat exchange tubes 1 arranged on the horizontal plane at intervals can bear the refrigerants distributed by the liquid-equalizing disc, a liquid film is formed on the surface of each heat exchange tube 1, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved. The upper part of the liquid equalizing part 2 is open, and the refrigerant dropping from the upper refrigerant inlet 6 or the upper refrigerant receiving part 101 can be smoothly received.

As an embodiment not shown in the present embodiment, the liquid uniformizing part 2 includes a liquid uniformizing plate capable of covering the upper surfaces of all the heat exchange tubes 1 in the horizontal direction, and the liquid uniformizing holes 201 are provided on the liquid uniformizing plate. The liquid homogenizing part 2 can also make the refrigerant dropping on the liquid homogenizing part drop to the pipe section of the heat exchange pipe 1 at the lower layer through the liquid homogenizing hole 201, but the refrigerant is difficult to assemble, and the uniform distribution effect of the refrigerant is not as good as that of the liquid homogenizing disc structure.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the liquid equalizing holes 201 are distributed in a matrix form on the liquid equalizing portion 2, and each row or column of the liquid equalizing holes 201 are uniformly distributed along the axis of the adjacent lower pipe section of the liquid equalizing portion 2. That is, the liquid equalizing holes 201 in each row or each column are uniformly distributed along the axis of the refrigerant receiving portion 101. The arrangement of the liquid equalizing holes 201 can make the refrigerant drop onto the refrigerant receiving portion 101 through the liquid equalizing holes 201 uniformly arranged on each row or each column to form a uniform liquid film.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the centers of each row or each column of the liquid equalizing holes 201 are all located on the same straight line, and the axes of the lower layer pipe sections adjacent to the liquid equalizing part 2 are located right below the straight line, that is, the axis of the refrigerant receiving part 101 is located right below the straight line. Therefore, the refrigerant drips to the center of the refrigerant receiving part 101 through the liquid equalizing holes 201 uniformly arranged on each row or each column, a uniform liquid film is conveniently formed on the refrigerant receiving part 101 due to the action of gravity, and the refrigerant is distributed more uniformly.

Referring to fig. 1, the working principle of the falling film heat exchanger of the present embodiment is as follows: the liquid refrigerant on the first layer liquid homogenizing part 2 (liquid homogenizing plate) uniformly drops on the refrigerant bearing part 101 of the heat exchange tube 1 through the liquid homogenizing hole 201, and flows on the tube to form a liquid film, and the liquid film absorbs heat and evaporates. The unevaporated liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant receiving part 101 drops onto the liquid homogenizing part 2 (liquid homogenizing disk) of the next layer, the liquid refrigerant gathered on the liquid homogenizing part 2 (liquid homogenizing disk) of the next layer uniformly drops onto the refrigerant receiving part 101 of the heat exchange tube 1 of the adjacent lower layer from the liquid homogenizing hole 201 on the liquid refrigerant, and flows on the tube to form a liquid film, and the liquid film absorbs heat and evaporates. The liquid refrigerant passes through the liquid equalizing part 2 in sequence, the heat exchange tube 1 absorbs heat and evaporates to realize multi-stage liquid distribution and falling film evaporation, and the unevaporated refrigerant is less and less when going to the next stage until dropping to the bottom layer of the shell 5.

Example two

Because the liquid homogenizing part 2 is positioned below the refrigerant inlet 6, when the refrigerant enters the heat exchanger shell 5 from the refrigerant inlet 6, the refrigerant directly impacts the liquid homogenizing part 2, and when the refrigerant is impacted by fluid in the liquid homogenizing plate serving as the liquid homogenizing part 2, the liquid level shakes, so that uneven distribution of the refrigerant is easily caused.

In view of the above problems, the present embodiment is improved on the basis of the above embodiments, and referring to fig. 1, the falling film heat exchanger includes a shell 5, a refrigerant inlet 6 disposed on the shell 5, and a refrigerant buffering structure 8 located in the shell 5, wherein the liquid equalizing portion 2 is disposed below the refrigerant inlet 6, and the refrigerant buffering structure 8 is disposed between the refrigerant inlet 6 and the liquid equalizing portion 2 to reduce the impact of the refrigerant on the liquid equalizing portion 2.

When entering the shell 5 from the refrigerant inlet 6, the refrigerant firstly enters the refrigerant buffer structure 8 to reduce the impact force, and then enters the liquid equalizing part 2, so that the fluid impact on the refrigerant in the liquid equalizing disc can be reduced, the liquid level of the refrigerant is reduced from shaking, and the refrigerant is uniformly distributed by the liquid equalizing part 2.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 4, the refrigerant buffering structure 8 of the present embodiment includes a refrigerant buffering tray 81, and the refrigerant buffering tray 81 includes a top plate 811 and a side plate 812, where: the top plate 811 is positioned above the liquid homogenizing part 2 to cover the liquid homogenizing part 2, and the side plate 812 is connected to the side of the top plate 811; preferably, side plates 812 are connected to all sides of the top plate 811, and all the side plates 812 are connected to form the peripheral wall 22. And the top and the side plate 812 are matched to enclose a cavity with an open lower end, and the side plate 812 is provided with a communicating hole 813.

Referring to fig. 4, when the refrigerant enters the housing 5 through the refrigerant inlet 6, the refrigerant flow direction changes due to the impact force of the refrigerant fluid being reduced by a portion when the refrigerant enters the housing 5 through the top plate 811, and then the refrigerant flows to the side portion of the refrigerant buffer tray 81, the liquid refrigerant forms a liquid level region (the liquid level region is formed between the upper surface of the sealing plate 10 and the communication hole 813) at the periphery of the side portion of the refrigerant buffer tray 81, and the liquid refrigerant uniformly flows into the cavity of the refrigerant buffer tray 81 through the upper communication hole 813 on the side plate 812, and a portion of the impact force is also lost in the process; and flows to the liquid equalizing part 2 through the structure with the lower end open of the refrigerant buffer disc 81, and is uniformly distributed to the surface of the heat exchange tube 1 through the liquid equalizing holes 201 in the liquid equalizing part.

Through the structure of refrigerant buffer disc 81, the impact force of refrigerant fluid can be buffered for many times, and the liquid level is prevented from shaking when the refrigerant is impacted by the fluid in the liquid equalizing disc.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 1, a sealing plate 10 is further fixedly disposed in the housing 5, the sealing plate 10 and the housing 5 enclose a refrigerant buffer cavity 82, the refrigerant buffer cavity 82 is located between the refrigerant inlet 6 and the liquid homogenizing part 2 and is communicated with both the refrigerant inlet 6 and the liquid homogenizing part 2, and the refrigerant buffer disc 81 is located in the refrigerant buffer cavity 82. Referring to fig. 1, a fixing hole for inserting the liquid homogenizing part 2 is formed in the sealing plate 10, and the liquid homogenizing part 2 of the first layer is in interference fit in the fixing hole, so that the refrigerant in the cavity of the refrigerant buffer disc 81 directly enters the liquid homogenizing part 2 (liquid homogenizing disc).

The refrigerant buffer cavity 82 is communicated with the space (falling film area 100) where the heat exchange tube 1 and the liquid homogenizing part 2 are located only through the communicating hole 813 on the refrigerant buffer disc 81, so that when a refrigerant enters the shell 5 from the refrigerant inlet 6, the refrigerant firstly enters the refrigerant buffer cavity 82 to obtain certain buffer in the refrigerant buffer cavity 82, and then enters the cavity of the refrigerant buffer disc 81 through the communicating hole 813 on the side plate 812 of the refrigerant buffer disc 81; the refrigerant flows to the liquid equalizing part 2 through the structure with the lower end open of the refrigerant buffer disc 81, and is uniformly distributed to the surface of the heat exchange tube 1 through the liquid equalizing holes 201 in the liquid equalizing part.

The refrigerant buffer cavity 82 and the refrigerant buffer disc 81 can buffer the impact force of the refrigerant in multiple stages and multiple times, and the impact force of the refrigerant is prevented from shaking the liquid level on the liquid homogenizing part 2.

In order to fully utilize the refrigerant dropped from the heat exchange tube 1 at the bottommost layer, as an optional embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the falling film heat exchanger includes a film falling region 100 and a liquid full region 200 which are communicated with each other, the heat exchange tube 1 and the liquid equalizing portion 2 are located in the film falling region 100, the liquid full region 200 is located below the film falling region 100, and a liquid full heat exchange tube 17 is arranged in the liquid full heat exchange tube 17, and the liquid full heat exchange tube 17 is communicated or not communicated with the heat exchange tube 1 in the film falling region 100. In fig. 1, a liquid equalizing part 2 is not arranged above the lowermost tube section of the heat exchange tube 1, and serves as a liquid full heat exchange tube 17, that is, the liquid full heat exchange tube 17 is communicated with the heat exchange tube 1 in the falling film area 100, and the liquid full heat exchange tube 17 is soaked in a liquid refrigerant below.

The principle of the flooded evaporator is as follows: the liquid-full heat exchange tube 17 is completely immersed by the refrigerant, and the refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates outside the liquid-full heat exchange tube 17. Redundant liquid refrigerant in the film falling area 100 can drop to the liquid full area 200 below, so that the utilization rate of the liquid refrigerant is improved.

In the falling film area 100, the liquid refrigerant passes through the liquid homogenizing part 2 and the heat exchange tube 1 to absorb heat and evaporate outside in sequence, so that multi-stage liquid distribution and falling film evaporation are realized; the unevaporated refrigerant is less and less downwards, and the unevaporated refrigerant drops to the liquid full area 200 at the bottom layer of the shell 5, and the liquid full heat exchange tube 17 is used for evaporation and heat absorption, so that the utilization rate of the refrigerant is improved, and the heat exchange efficiency is further improved.

EXAMPLE III

When a refrigerant enters the evaporator, part of oil in the compressor is carried to enter the evaporator, the evaporator with small cooling capacity and small volume is limited by the refrigerant quantity and space, the liquid level of a full liquid area 200 is low, oil return cannot be carried out by adopting a method of injecting oil return by a large cooling capacity evaporator, and the oil return of the falling film evaporator with small cooling capacity is difficult.

In view of the above problem, the present embodiment is improved on the basis of the above embodiment, and referring to fig. 1, the bottom of the shell 5 is provided with a weir plate 13 and an oil outlet 12, wherein: the weir plate 13 is higher than the liquid-full heat exchange tube 17 so as to form a liquid level with a given height in the liquid-full area 200, the weir plate 13 and the shell 5 are matched to enclose an oil storage cavity 15 with an open upper end, and the oil outlet 12 is positioned at the bottom of the oil storage cavity 15.

When the liquid refrigerant in the full liquid area 200 does not need to be discharged, the liquid discharge port 11 is closed, the refrigerant dropping from the falling film area 100 forms a certain liquid level under the action of the weir plate 13, the full liquid heat exchange tube 17 is soaked in the liquid refrigerant, the refrigerant in the full liquid area 200 absorbs heat and evaporates, and the lubricating oil with low non-evaporated density is collected on the upper layer of the liquid level; when the liquid level of the liquid full area 200 exceeds the height of the weir plate 13, the upper layer lubricating oil overflows the upper end of the weir plate 13 and flows into the oil storage chamber 15, and flows out of the oil outlet 12, so that the separation of the lubricating oil and the refrigerant is realized, and the effect of separating the refrigerant and the oil is achieved.
