Examples

Take the example where the flash structure 2 includes two throttle plates 21 and the liquid separation structure 3 includes two liquid separation plates 32:

in a direction away from the refrigerant inlet 101, the two throttle plates 21 are a primary throttle plate and a secondary throttle plate (second throttle plate 212), respectively, and the two liquid separation plates 32 are a primary liquid separation plate and a secondary liquid separation plate, respectively.

A liquid inlet pipe is arranged at the refrigerant inlet 101, an air supplementing pipe is arranged at the air supplementing port 102, and an exhaust pipe is arranged at the exhaust port 104.

The high-temperature high-pressure liquid phase refrigerant discharged by the condenser enters the evaporator through the liquid inlet pipe at the upper part of the shell 1, and the refrigerant flows downwards and passes through the primary throttling hole on the primary throttling plate to realize throttling depressurization and conversion into a gas-liquid two phase. The primary throttle hole is positioned at one axial end of the heat exchanger. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant enters a first gas-liquid separation space 22, and the first gas-liquid separation space 22 is composed of a top primary throttle plate, a bottom secondary throttle plate, an axial side edge sealing edge, a circumferential side sealing plate 7 and the inner wall surface of the shell 1. For example, baffles 25 are arranged in the first gas-liquid separation space 22 along the axial direction of the heat exchanger in a staggered manner. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant passes through the upper baffle plate and the lower baffle plate, and gas-liquid separation is realized through collision. One end of the secondary throttle plate in the circumferential direction is bent to be of an inclined downward structure, a secondary throttle hole is formed in one axial end of the lower portion, a horizontally-placed filtrate plate 23 is arranged in the middle of the inclined surface of the secondary throttle plate, and a filtrate hole 231 is formed in the filtrate plate 23. Therefore, the bottom of the liquid filtering plate 23, the second-stage throttle plate, the side sealing plates 7 and the side sealing plates form a liquid accumulating space 24, and the liquid accumulating space 24 is located at the bottom of the first gas-liquid separating space 22, so that the liquid refrigerant is converged under the action of gravity and the action of air flow blowing. In the first gas-liquid separation space 22, the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flows along the axial direction of the shell 1, when passing through the upper baffle plate and the lower baffle plate, the two-phase refrigerant collides with the upper baffle plate and changes the flow direction, the small droplets are condensed into large droplets which fall downwards along the baffle plate 25 and the side sealing plate 7 on the one hand, and the large droplets gradually fall at the bottom of the space under the action of gravity when flowing axially on the other hand, finally the large droplets contact the top of the filtrate plate 23 and are converged in the liquid accumulation space 24 through the filtrate hole 231 under the action of air flow blowing. Liquid phase refrigerant forms certain liquid level height in hydrops space 24, and the filtrating board 23 can weaken gaseous phase refrigerant and blow the liquid level, and then forms the liquid seal at second grade orifice, makes orifice 211 steady operation. The primary throttle hole and the secondary throttle hole are respectively arranged at the two axial ends of the heat exchanger, so that the axial length of the heat exchanger is fully utilized to increase the flow stroke of the refrigerant, and the gas-liquid separation effect is enhanced. At the same end of the axial secondary orifice of the heat exchanger and the other end in the circumferential direction, the shell 1 is provided with an air supplementing pipe, and the air supplementing pipe guides the gas-phase refrigerant separated from the first gas-liquid separation space 22 to enter the compressor for supplementing air.

The two-phase refrigerant after the secondary throttling enters a second gas-liquid separation space 26, and the second gas-liquid separation space 26 consists of a secondary throttling plate at the top, a flow passing plate 31 at the bottom, a circumferential gas outlet plate and an axial side sealing plate. The end of the side closing plate far away from the secondary orifice and the higher position are processed with air outlets, meanwhile, a gas-liquid filter screen (filter mechanism 5) is arranged around the air outlets in the second gas-liquid separation space 26, and an overflowing hole 311 is processed at the end of the overflowing plate 31 far away from the secondary orifice. The two-phase refrigerant enters the second gas-liquid separation space 26, and the small droplets collide with the overflow plate 31 to be condensed into large droplets when flowing downward, so that gas-liquid collision separation is realized. Meanwhile, the liquid drops naturally settle to the bottom of the second gas-liquid separation space 26 in a large space by utilizing gravity, and gas-liquid gravity separation is realized. When the air flow carries a small part of fine liquid drops to the air outlet hole positioned at a higher position, the fine liquid drops are contacted with the gas-liquid filter screen, and the small liquid drops form large liquid drops under the adsorption action of the gas-liquid filter screen and drop to the bottom of the second gas-liquid separation space 26, so that the separation of the gas-liquid filter screen is realized. Finally, the liquid drops pass through the overflowing hole 311 under the blowing action of the axial flowing air flow, and the refrigerant gas enters the heat exchange space of the heat exchanger through the air outlet hole.

The liquid phase refrigerant enters the primary liquid separation space 33 through the overflowing hole 311, and the bottom of the primary liquid separation space is a primary liquid separation plate. Liquid separating holes 321 which are uniformly distributed are machined in the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the heat exchanger on the first-stage liquid separating plate, a liquid-phase refrigerant enters the second-stage liquid separating space through the liquid separating holes 321 on the first-stage liquid separating plate, the second-stage liquid separating plate is arranged at the bottom of the second-stage liquid separating plate, and the liquid separating holes 321 which are uniformly distributed are machined in the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the heat exchanger on the second-stage liquid separating plate. In the primary and secondary liquid separation spaces, the liquid-phase refrigerant forms a stable liquid seal above the liquid separation holes 321, the states of the refrigerant at different positions are the same, no air flow blows around the liquid level, and therefore the liquid is separated through the liquid separation holes 321 only under the action of gravity. Meanwhile, the phenomenon that the film distribution effect is influenced by over-high flow velocity sprayed to the outer wall surface of the heat exchange tube 6 after gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant is mixed and separated is avoided. The liquid separating holes 321 on the two liquid separating plates 32 are distributed in a staggered manner along the axial direction and the circumferential direction so as to enhance the liquid separating effect.
