Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat exchanger and a refrigeration cycle apparatus and, in particular, to a heat exchanger including, in a heat transfer block, first fluid passages in which a high-temperature fluid flows and second fluid passages in which a low-temperature fluid flows, and a refrigeration cycle apparatus including the heat exchanger.
  • a refrigeration cycle includes a heat exchanger that allows a first fluid and a second fluid to exchange heat with each other.
  • first fluid passages in which the first fluid flows and second fluid passages in which the second fluid flows are provided substantially parallel to each other in one block (a solid body), and heat is exchanged between the first fluid and the second fluid by supplying the two fluids in the same direction (to be referred to as “parallel directions” or “parallel flows” hereinafter) or in directions opposite to each other (to be referred to as “opposite directions” or “opposed flows or counterflows” hereinafter) in the respective passages.
  • parallel directions or parallel flows
  • opposite directions opposite to each other
  • the first fluid is “water” and the second fluid is "R410a”
  • heat is exchanged between the water having a low temperature and a low pressure and R410a having a high temperature and a high pressure, whereby the water is heated (while R410a is cooled).
  • the diameter of the first fluid passages or the second fluid passages is reduced.
  • the heat transfer area per unit volume of the heat exchanger can be increased to, in turn, increase the heat transfer rate.
  • the heat exchanger tube has a flat cross-sectional shape and includes a plurality of passages in which a fluid flows.
  • the plurality of passages are integrally formed by extrusion molding (see, for example, Patent Literature 1).
  • lateral holes are provided to communicate with the passages in the block on the upstream side and the passages in the block on the downstream side, whereby the difference in fluid temperature between the passages in the block is reduced.
  • a lateral hole needs to be provided so that the fluid is distributed to all of the passages and is mixed. Since the diameter of the lateral hole is limited by the height of the passages, there has arisen a problem that the passage cross-sectional area is relatively small in a portion having the lateral hole and that the pressure loss increases with the repetition of expansion and contraction of the passages in the block. That is, since the passage cross-sectional area varies (the header cross-sectional area is small), the flow speed of the fluid increases in a header portion. Consequently, the pressure loss increases. With such repetition, the pressure loss in the heat exchanger increases.
  • Patent Literature 1 There has arisen the same problem that when the technology disclosed in Patent Literature 1 is applied to a heat exchanger including first fluid passages and second fluid passages that are provided in one block (a solid body). Particularly, although the invention disclosed in Patent Literature 1 employs one row of a combination of first fluid passages and second fluid passages, if a heat exchanger includes multiple rows of combinations of first fluid passages and second fluid passages, the fluid flows from one row into another.
  • the number of times the fluid flows through the header portion is relatively large. Consequently, the passage cross-sectional area repeatedly expands and contracts, and the pressure loss in the heat exchanger increases.
  • the fluid when the fluid is distributed among the passages under a certain condition of the fluid flowing into the heat exchanger and, in particular, under a condition that the fluid is in a two-phase gas-liquid state in which a mixture of gas and liquid exists, the proportions of the gas and the liquid vary in each individual passage. That is, uneven distribution occurs, so that the performance of the heat exchanger is deteriorated.
  • the present invention is to solve the above problems and provides a heat exchanger in which the pressure loss can be reduced even if a plurality of fluid passages are made to communicate with one another, and a deterioration in performance of the heat exchanger can be suppressed by achieving even distribution among the passages, and a refrigeration cycle apparatus including the heat exchanger.
  • a heat exchanger includes a plurality of first fluid passages provided parallel to one another in a first plane that is a flat plane present in a heat transfer block, so as to extend through the heat transfer block; a plurality of second fluid passages provided parallel to the first fluid passages in a second plane that is present in the heat transfer block and is parallel to the first plane, so as to extend through the heat transfer block; and at least one lateral hole provided in the heat transfer block and communicating with the second fluid passages. The at least one lateral hole extends perpendicularly to the second fluid passages.
  • a diameter of the at least one lateral hole and a number of at least one lateral hole are determined in such a manner as to satisfy L/A 2 d > L y /A y 2 d y , where A, d, and L are a passage cross-sectional area, an equivalent diameter, and a length, respectively, of the second fluid passages, and A y , d y , and L y are a passage cross-sectional area, an equivalent diameter, and an equivalent length, respectively, of the at least one lateral hole.
  • the at least one lateral hole communicates with all of the second fluid passages so as not to protrude into a portion of the heat transfer block that is between the first fluid passages and some of the second fluid passages that are adjacent to the first fluid passages.
  • the cross-sectional area of the lateral hole can be designed optimally. Therefore, the pressure loss can be reduced, and a deterioration in performance of the heat exchanger can be suppressed by achieving even distribution.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate heat exchangers according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1(a) shows a sectional view of a type-A heat exchanger that is taken along a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
  • FIG. 1(b) shows a sectional view of the type-A heat exchanger that is taken along a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction.

  • FIG. 2(d) shows a sectional view of the type-C heat exchanger that is taken along a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction.
  • a type-A heat exchanger 10a includes, in a heat transfer block 4, a plurality of (for example, four) first fluid passages 1, a plurality of (for example, forty-five) second fluid passages 2a arranged such that the direction of flow is parallel to that of the first fluid passages 1, and one lateral hole 3a extending perpendicularly to the second fluid passages 2a and communicating with all of the second fluid passages 2a.
  • the plurality of first fluid passages 1 are arranged in a first plane 41, which is a flat plane, in such a manner as to be parallel to one another.
  • the first fluid passages 1 each have a circular cross-sectional shape.
  • the second fluid passages 2a are parallel to the first fluid passages 1 and generally refer to the following: a plurality of (for example, fifteen) second fluid passages 21a provided in a second plane 42a that is a flat plane substantially parallel to the first plane 41, a plurality of (for example, fifteen) second fluid passages 21b provided in a second plane 42b that is substantially parallel to the first plane 41, and a plurality of (for example, fifteen) second fluid passages 21c provided in a second plane 42c that is substantially parallel to the first plane 41.
  • the second fluid passages 2a are provided in three layers so that each layer includes fifteen passages.
  • the second fluid passages 2a each have a quadrate cross-sectional shape.
  • the "longitudinal direction” refers to the axial direction of the first fluid passages 1 and the second fluid passages 2a.
  • first fluid passages 1 each have a circular cross-sectional shape and the second fluid passages 2a each have a quadrate cross-sectional shape
  • present invention is not limited to such a case.
  • the passages 1 and 2a can each have an arbitrary cross-sectional shape.
  • the lateral hole 3a extends perpendicularly to the second fluid passages and communicates with the plurality of (for example, forty-five) second fluid passages.
  • the lateral hole 3a does not protrude into a portion of the heat transfer block 4 that is between the first fluid passages 1 and the second fluid passages 21a adjacent to the former passages.
  • the diameter of the lateral hole 3a and the number of lateral holes 3a are determined in accordance with the mass velocity of the fluid flowing into the lateral hole 3a, the length of the lateral hole, and the dimensions and the number of second fluid passages, whereby the pressure loss can be reduced.
  • the heat transfer block has a length of 300 mm, and the lateral hole has a length of 25 mm
  • the lateral hole 3a have a diameter of "d y > 0.003,” that is, 3 mm or larger. If the passage cross-sectional area falls outside the foregoing range, the pressure loss in the portion having the lateral hole is relatively high, unpreferably leading to a deterioration in performance of the heat exchanger.
  • a lateral hole 3a is formed by machining (drilling), plasticization (punching), or the like performed from one side face 44 of the heat transfer block 4, the present invention does not limit the method of forming a lateral hole 3a.
  • the type-A heat exchanger 10a configured as described above produces the following advantageous effects.
  • the lateral hole 3a having the passage cross-sectional area that falls within the above range is larger than the lateral hole of the known heat exchanger having a diameter corresponding to the size of one layer (see Patent Literature 1).
  • the influence of expansion and contraction of the passage in the portions having the lateral hole 3a is relatively little. Since the lateral hole 3a functions as a header portion, the pressure loss in the lateral hole 3a, that is, the pressure loss in the type-A heat exchanger 10a, is relatively low.
  • the second fluid passages 2a are provided in a plurality of layers so that a diameter Da of the lateral hole 3a is increased, so that the heat transfer area of the second fluid passages 2a, in turn, is increased.
  • the heat exchange performance can be improved.
  • the heat exchanger includes multiple rows of combinations of first and second fluid passages, the second fluid flows from one row into another. Therefore, the number of times the second fluid passes through the lateral hole 3a (equivalent to a header portion) is relatively large.
  • the distance between the lateral hole 3a and the first fluid passages 1 can be made smaller than when the thickness of the heat transfer block is increased as in the known heat exchanger in which the passages are provided in one layer and the lateral hole having a diameter equivalent to it. Hence, the heat exchange performance can be improved.
  • the lateral hole 3a having the diameter Da corresponding to the passage cross-sectional area that falls within the above range does not protrude into the portion of the heat transfer block 4 that is between the first fluid passages 1 and the second fluid passages 21a adjacent to the former passages.
  • the lateral hole 3a does not protrude into a portion of the heat transfer block 4 that is on the outer side of the second fluid passages 21c that are farthest from the first fluid passages 1. That is, for each set of second fluid passages 2a that are arranged in a plurality of layers, the height of the lateral hole 3a is set to fall within the length from the lowest layer of second fluid passages 2a to the highest layer of second fluid passages 2a.
  • the thickness of the heat transfer block 4 can be reduced.
  • the second fluid passages 2a in the middle layer can be positioned near the upper and lower layers of first fluid passages 1.
  • the heat exchange performance can be improved.
  • the method of forming a heat transfer block 4 is not limited. However, for example, when a heat transfer block 4 is formed by integral extrusion, it is easy to increase/decrease the number of first fluid passages 1 and the number of first planes 41 or to increase/decrease the number of second fluid passages and the number of second planes 42. Therefore, the passage cross-sectional area in the lateral hole 3a can be designed optimally.

  • a pipe joint for example, a tube or the like; not illustrated
  • the type-A heat exchanger 10a becomes available. In this state, the two longitudinal ends of each of the second fluid passages 2a are closed.
  • the opening of the lateral hole 3a in one side face 44 of the heat transfer block 4 may be closed with a lid.
  • the two longitudinal ends of each of the second fluid passages 2a are connected to pipes (directly to pipe joints or indirectly with external header portions) of a system (for example, a hot-water supply system or the like).
  • the fluid (first fluid) flowing in the first fluid passages 1 and the fluid (second fluid) flowing in the second fluid passages 2a are not limited.
  • the first fluid may be any water such as tap water, distilled water, or brine while the second fluid may not only be R410a but also be a natural refrigerant such as a fluorocarbon refrigerant or hydrogen carbide or any mixture of the foregoing materials.
  • the direction in which the fluid flows in the first fluid passages 1 and the direction in which the fluid flows in the second fluid passages 2a may be parallel to each other or opposite to each other.
  • a type-B heat exchanger 10b includes, in a heat transfer block 4, four first fluid passages 1, second fluid passages 2b provided in five layers so that each layer includes fifteen second fluid passages 2b (seventy-five in total), and one lateral hole 3b extending perpendicularly to the second fluid passages 2b and communicating with the second fluid passages 2b.
  • the type-B heat exchanger 10b is equivalent to the type-A heat exchanger 10a additionally provided with a plurality of (for example, fifteen) second fluid passages 21d and a plurality of (for example, fifteen) second fluid passages 21e that are arranged in second planes 42d and 42e, respectively, extending substantially parallel to the first plane 41.
  • An inside diameter Db of the lateral hole 3b is large because the lateral hole 3b extends across the five layers of second fluid passages 2b.

  • an inside diameter Dc of the lateral hole 3c is small because the lateral hole 3c only needs to extend over the two layers of second fluid passages 2c.

Specifically, the diameter of the lateral hole 3 is increased (the type-A to type-C heat exchangers are selectively used) in accordance with the flow speed of the fluid that changes with the state of the fluid.
