Definitions

  • the present invention relates to refrigerant distribution devices.
  • a refrigerant distribution device that distributes the refrigerant to the respective paths is necessary on an inlet side of the refrigerant.
  • a distributor is conventionally used as a refrigerant distribution device so that refrigerant distributed by the distributor flows into the respective heat transfer tubes of the heat exchanger by capillary tubes (for example, see Patent Literature 1).
  • Patent Literature 1 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2008-121984 (page 4, Fig. 1 )
  • Patent Literature 1 a plurality of heat transfer tubes are connected to a distributor via capillary tubes that are individually disposed at the ends of the heat transfer tubes, which serve as inlet ports for refrigerant flowing from the outside, and the number of paths of the heat exchanger and the number of the capillary tubes are the same.
  • the number of heat transfer tubes increases and thus the number of paths increases, the number of capillary tubes also increases.
  • the present invention is made to overcome such problems and provides a refrigerant distribution device that enables a reduction in the number of connected capillary tubes, a compact installation space of the capillary tubes mounted on an actual machine, and a cost reduction, and a heat pump apparatus that uses this refrigerant distribution device.
  • a refrigerant distribution device distributes refrigerant to a plurality of heat transfer tubes that constitute a heat exchanger.
  • the refrigerant distribution device includes a first distribution device dividing refrigerant into a plurality of portions, and a plurality of second distribution devices each dividing refrigerant divided by the first distribution device into two portions to flow into two of the plurality of heat transfer tubes.
  • the number of connected capillary tubes can be reduced, an installation space of the capillary tubes mounted on an actual machine can be compact, and the cost of the capillary tubes can be reduced.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a state in which a refrigerant distribution device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is connected to a heat exchanger.
  • the same reference signs refer to the same or corresponding elements throughout the whole description. Further, the forms of the elements shown in the description are for exemplary purposes only and the invention is not limited to the description.
  • a heat exchanger 1 is a fin and tube heat exchanger that includes a plurality of plate shaped fins 2 being stacked with spaces therebetween and a plurality of heat transfer tubes 3 that penetrate the plate shaped fins 2 in a stack direction and allow refrigerant to flow therein.
  • the heat transfer tubes 3 may be circular tubes or flat tubes made of copper or aluminum.
  • a plurality of heat transfer tubes 3 are connected to a refrigerant distribution device 10 at one end and a gas header 6 at the other end.
  • the refrigerant distribution device 10 includes a first distribution device 20 and a plurality of two-way branch pipes 30 as a second distribution device.
  • the first distribution device 20 is to uniformly distribute refrigerant that flows into the first distribution device 20 in a state of gas-liquid two-phase into the respective heat transfer tubes 3 of the heat exchanger 1. Accordingly, in Fig. 1 , a distributor is used as the first distribution device 20.
  • a throttle mechanism such as an orifice is inserted in the distributor such that the two-phase flow that flows therein becomes a spray flow while passing through the orifice to facilitate uniform distribution.
  • the spray flow of refrigerant is uniformly distributed to the respective capillary tubes 40.
  • a throttle mechanism such as an orifice may not be used in the distributor. It is essential that a distributor capable of uniform distribution is used as the first distribution device 20.
  • the distributor may be made of a material such as copper, aluminum and brass.
  • the capillary tube 40 has an inner diameter of approximately 3.5 mm and a length of approximately 1000 mm. These dimensions of the capillary tube 40 are merely an example.
  • the capillary tube 40 may be curved in a circular shape depending on the relationship between the length and the installation space.
  • an in-pipe pressure loss can be adjusted based on the specification (inner diameter, length) of the capillary tubes 40, thus a branch flow rate from the first distribution device 20 to each of the two-way branch pipes 30 can be adjusted.
  • An air speed of an air-sending fan (not shown in the figure) that sends air to the heat exchanger 1 is not necessarily uniform across the entire surface of the heat exchanger 1, and an air speed distribution may be present. For example, when an air-sending fan is disposed in the upper part of the heat exchanger 1, the air speed is faster in the upper part of the heat exchanger 1 than in the lower part.
  • the refrigerant passing through a part in which the air speed is fast tends to be easily evaporated and dried compared with the refrigerant passing through a part in which the air speed is slow. Accordingly, when the same amount of refrigerant flows into the respective heat transfer tubes 3, the refrigerant passing through a part in which the air speed is fast has a quality higher than the refrigerant passing through a part in which the air speed is slow. This causes variation in refrigerant state at the exit of the heat exchanger, and the refrigerant state fails to be stabilized. Therefore, it is required that a larger amount of refrigerant flows into the heat transfer tube located in a part in which the air speed is fast. As described above, when adjustment of branch flow rate is necessary, the branch flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting the specification of the capillary tubes 40.
  • the two-way branch pipes 30 are connected to the end of the capillary tubes 40 on the opposite side to the first distribution device 20. Using the two-way branch pipes 30 allows the refrigerant to be distributed to the number of branches (the number of paths) of 2 x A, where A is the number of branches of the first distribution device 20 and the number of capillary tubes 40. A configuration of the two-way branch pipe 30 will be described below.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the two-way branch pipe of Fig. 1 .
  • the two-way branch pipe 30 includes a U-bend section 31 formed by bending a circular tube in U-shape and a straight inflow section 35.
  • the U-bend section 31 includes a connection 32 and two arms 33 and 34 extending from each end of the connection 32 in parallel to each other.
  • the straight inflow section 35 is formed by performing bulge-forming process on one of the two arms 33 and 34 (in this example, the arm 34) of the U-bend section 31. In this example, the straight inflow section 35 is disposed on the arm 34.
  • Bulge-forming process is a method for forming a hollow shape, in which a pipe-shaped material is set in a mold of a press and then clamped, and after that, while the material is filled with a liquid of high pressure, the material is compressed in the axial direction so that the both ends are forced toward each other, thereby allowing the material to be expanded into the shape of the mold cavity.
  • the straight inflow section 35 of the two-way branch pipe 30 constituted as described above is connected to one end of an L-shaped pipe 36, which is bent in L-shape, while the other end of the L-shaped pipe 36 is connected to the capillary tube 40.
  • the opening ports A and B of the two arms 33 and 34 of the two-way branch pipe 30 are connected to the heat transfer tubes 3 of the heat exchanger 1.
  • the heat transfer tubes 3 are directly connected when they are circular tubes, and the heat transfer tubes 3 are connected via circular tube - flat tube joints 4 of Fig. 3 when they are flat tubes.
  • the two-way branch pipe 30 is connected to the heat exchanger 1 so that the two arms 33 and 34 extend in a parallel direction and the refrigerant flowing from the straight inflow section 35 to the arm 34 is branched and flows in the horizontal direction. The reason will be described later.
  • the dotted line arrow indicates the flow of refrigerant in the case where the heat exchanger 1 is used as an evaporator, and in the two-way branch pipe 30, the refrigerant flowing from the capillary tube 40 flows into the straight inflow section 35 via the L-shaped pipe 36.
  • the refrigerant flowing into the straight inflow section 35 is branched into the arm 33 and the arm 34, each of which flows into the respective heat transfer tubes 3.
  • the two-way branch pipe 30 allows the introduced refrigerant to be branched into two flows to the respective heat transfer tubes 3, the number of capillary tubes 40 can be reduced to half compared with the configuration in which the capillary tubes 40 are directly connected to the respective heat transfer tubes 3. Accordingly, using the refrigerant distribution device 10 of Embodiment 1 can improve installability of the capillary tubes 40.
  • the two-way branch pipe 30 is required to have a function of uniformly distributing the refrigerant flowing from the capillary tubes 40 and allowing the refrigerant to flow into the respective heat transfer tubes 3.
  • the first distribution device 20 can uniformly distribute the refrigerant into the respective capillary tubes 40, and it is also required for the two-way branch pipes 30 to uniformly distribute the refrigerant so that the refrigerant flows into the respective heat transfer tubes of the heat exchanger 1 while remaining in the uniformly distributed state.
  • the refrigerant that has passed an expansion valve of the heat pump apparatus and the refrigerant at an inlet of the evaporator is generally in a state of gas-liquid two-phase flow made up of gas refrigerant and liquid refrigerant, causing density distribution in a cross section of the refrigerant flowing in pipes.
  • a biased flow occurs due to an effect of centrifugal force, which causes the flowing liquid refrigerant to be biased to one side of the inner surface of the pipe. That is, two-phase refrigerant is separated into gas and liquid phases.
  • the refrigerant distribution device located on the inflow side of the refrigerant it is required for the refrigerant distribution device located on the inflow side of the refrigerant to have a function of preventing the above biased flow from being generated and gas and liquid phases from being separated. Further, it is required for the refrigerant distribution device to have a function of distributing the refrigerant in a state of being uniformly mixed while the ratio of the gas and liquid mass flow rate at the inlet of the refrigerant distribution device remains to be equal to the ratio of the gas and liquid mass flow rate at the outlet of the refrigerant distribution device. Moreover, as described above, as the number of paths increases by decreasing the diameter of the circular tube or flattening the tube, distributing uniform flow rate of refrigerant to the respective paths becomes a more important matter.
  • Fig. 4 is configuration explanatory views of the two-way branch pipe of the refrigerant distribution device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
  • Fig. 4(a) is a front view of the two-way branch pipe 30 and
  • Fig. 4(b) is a side view of Fig. 4(a) .
  • the straight inflow section 35 is formed by bulge-forming such that an angle ⁇ 1 between a tube axis X1 of the straight inflow section 35 and a tube axis X2 of the arm 34 is 90 degrees.
  • the angle ⁇ 1 When the angle ⁇ 1 deviates from 90 degrees by 10 degrees or more, the refrigerant flowing from the straight inflow section 35 obliquely collides against a portion of the arm 34 that faces the straight inflow section 35 and generates a biased flow, leading to deterioration of heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, the angle ⁇ 1 is formed to be 90 degrees. It should be noted the angle is not limited to be exact 90 degrees, and may be slightly deviated.
  • the straight inflow section 35 has the length of 5 mm or more. This point will be described below.
  • the two-phase flow of refrigerant becomes a state in which the liquid phase of the refrigerant is biased to one side in the capillary tube 40.
  • Providing an approach section that extends until a position at which the refrigerant collides against the two-way branch and has 20 times or more of the inner diameter allows for a sufficiently stable flow.
  • ensuring a configuration with the approach section having 20 times or more of the inner diameter is difficult.
  • Embodiment 1 ensures the length of 5 mm or more for the straight inflow section 35 and the length of 15 mm or more (two times or more of the inner diameter) together with the length of the horizontal section of the capillary tube 40 or the L-shaped pipe 36.
  • the gas-liquid two-phase flow is affected by a curve of the capillary tube 40 and becomes a state in which the liquid surface is biased in the pipe of the straight inflow section 35.
  • the gas-liquid two-phase flow into the straight inflow section 35 is biased by an effect of the biased liquid surface and fails to be uniformly distributed in the two-way branch pipe 30, thereby compromising heat exchange efficiency.
  • the two-way branch pipe 30 preferably has the angle ⁇ 1 of 90 degrees between the arm 34 and the straight inflow section 35 and the length of the straight inflow section 35 of 5 mm or more.
  • the straight inflow section 35 of the two-way branch pipe 30 is formed by bulge-forming.
  • Using the bulge-forming process allows for a stable processing of the shape of 90 degrees for the angle ⁇ 1 and ensures the length of 5 mm or more for the straight inflow section 35.
  • Bulge-forming process can be applied to not only a straight pipe but also a curved pipe, and further, the straight inflow section 35 can be formed to have a long length while preventing the wall thickness from being decreased.
  • the two-way branch pipe 30 and the capillary tube 40 can be connected by inserting the L-shaped pipe 36 or the capillary tube 40 having an outer diameter smaller than an inner diameter of an inlet port of the bulge-formed straight inflow section 35 in the inlet port of the bulge-formed straight inflow section 35 and brazing thereto.
  • This provides stable manufacture without defective.
  • the straight inflow section 35 is formed without using bulge-forming, the straight inflow section 35 has a small length and a small wall thickness. Consequently, when the L-shaped pipe 36 or the capillary tube 40 is connected to the straight inflow section 35, the angle ⁇ 1 deviates from 90 degrees by a large amount. Further, in brazing connection, a part of the straight inflow section 35 is to be brazed, and stable brazing cannot be performed due to a small wall thickness and small length of the connection.
  • an angle ⁇ 2 between the straight inflow section 35 and the tube axis X2 of the arm 34 may be any degrees, the angle ⁇ 2 herein is 90 degrees as shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the reason will be described below.
  • the heat transfer tubes 3 are designed to have narrow arrangement pitch, and the mounting density of the heat transfer tubes 3 is increased.
  • using the two-way branch pipe 30 can improve instability of the capillary tubes 40.
  • providing the angle ⁇ 2 of the straight inflow section 35 of the two-way branch pipe 30 of 90 degrees can further improve connectivity of the capillary tubes 40.
  • a curvature R that is twice to three times of the inner diameter is necessary, and in the case where the angle ⁇ 2 is 0 degree, the L-shaped pipe 36 or the capillary tube 40 interferes with the two-way branch pipe 30. Accordingly, in the case where the angle ⁇ 2 is 0 degree, when the mounting density of the heat transfer tubes 3 is increased, it is difficult to connect the capillary tube 40 or the L-shaped pipe 36 to the straight inflow section 35. With the angle ⁇ 2 of 90 degrees, the connection with the capillary tube 40 or the L-shaped pipe 36 comes to the direction of air flow, which does not interfere with the two-way branch pipe 30, thereby improving connectivity.
  • the advantage of the L-shaped pipe 36 will be described below.
  • the L-shaped pipe 36 and the straight inflow section 35 of the two-way branch pipe 30 are initially connected by brazing, then each of the opening ports A and B are connected to the circular tube - flat tube joints 4 by brazing, and then the L-shaped pipe 36 and the capillary tube 40 are connected by brazing.
  • This procedure allows for a stable manufacturing process having a low defective rate.
  • the reason will be as described below. That is, the above connection by brazing is performed by a burner, and since the L-shaped pipe 36 and the capillary tube are connected by brazing at last, other pipes are less likely to be exposed to the flame of burner.
  • the L-shaped pipe 36 it becomes easy to provide the angle ⁇ 1 , at which refrigerant flowing into the two-way branch pipe, of 90 degrees and provide a long approach distance for flowing into the two-way branch pipe, thereby improving uniform distribution.
  • the capillary tube 40 is directly connected to the straight inflow section 35 of the two-way branch pipe 30. Consequently, as the capillary tube 40 is long, unstable, and non-easily routed, the angles ⁇ 1 , at which refrigerant flowing into the two-way branch pipe 30, tends to largely vary.
  • the straight inflow section 35 of the two-way branch pipe 30 is 5 mm or more. However, since it is essential to provide a straight flow path of 10 mm or more, it is also possible that a sum of the L-shaped pipe 36 and the straight inflow section 35 is 10 mm or more.

Further, the two-way branch pipe 50 is also disposed so that the two arms 53 and 54 extend in a parallel direction as similar to the two-way branch pipe 30 of Embodiment 1.
  • the refrigerant distribution device 10A of Embodiment 2 which is configured as described above, can obtain the same effect as that of Embodiment 1 and the following effect. That is, since the two-way branch pipes 50 are disposed as a third distribution device, the number of capillary tubes 40 connected to the first distribution device 20 can be reduced to half of that of
  • the two-way branch pipe 50 serves as an inflow pipe for the refrigerant flowing out from the capillary tube 40, the same function as that of the two-way branch pipe 30 of Embodiment 1 is required. That is, the function of uniformly distributing the refrigerant out of the capillary tube 40 and allowing it to flow into the respective heat transfer tubes 3 is required. Since the two-way branch pipe 50 has the same configuration as that of the two-way branch pipe 30, the refrigerant out of the straight inflow section 35 of the two-way branch pipe 50 vertically collides against a collision wall that is a wall surface facing the straight inflow section 55 in the arm 54. Since branch directions after collision are horizontal, the refrigerant is not under the effect of gravity and can be uniformly distributed regardless of the amount of circulation.

  • the two-way branch pipe 30 of Embodiment 1 forms the angle ⁇ 1 of 90 degrees with respect to the straight inflow section 35 and the arm 34.
  • the two-way branch pipe 30A of Embodiment 3 has a configuration in which the angle ⁇ 1 is adjusted depending on a desired distribution ratio.
  • the angle ⁇ 1 is formed as the angle smaller than 90 degrees, the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing in the opening port A becomes larger than that of the opening port B, while when the angle ⁇ 1 is formed as the angle larger than 90 degrees, the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing in the opening port B becomes larger than that of the opening port A. Accordingly, the straight inflow section 35 that requires angle adjustment is formed by bulge-forming process as similar to Embodiment 1.
  • the angle ⁇ 1 can be reduced and the angle ⁇ 1 can be precisely formed at a predetermined angle.
  • the angle ⁇ 2 may be any angle as similar to Embodiment 1, 90 degrees is preferable in consideration of connection to the capillary tubes 40.
  • the two-way branch pipe 30A is connected to the first distribution device 20 at one end and the other end of the capillary tube 40 at the other end.
  • an air speed of an air sending fan that sends air to the heat exchanger 1 is not necessarily uniform across the entire surface of the heat exchanger 1, and air speed distribution is present.
  • Such air speed distribution or difference in the lengths of the refrigerant flow path for each of thermal paths may cause difference in thermal load of the paths. Accordingly, it is necessary that a larger amount of refrigerant flows into one of the paths connected to the opening port A and the opening port B that is, for example, having a faster air speed or a larger number of heat transfer tubes and a longer length of flow path. Therefore, the distribution ratio of refrigerant to the opening port A and the opening port B is determined based on the thermal load distribution of the paths in the heat exchanger 1, and thus the angle ⁇ 1 is determined.

  • Embodiment 4 is also directed to a refrigerant distribution device that can adjust a distribution ratio of refrigerant as similar to Embodiment 3.
  • the following description focuses on a part of Embodiment 4 that differs from Embodiment 1. Further, a modification example that is applied to the same configuration as that of Embodiment 1 in Embodiment 3 is also applied to Embodiment 4.

  • the remaining is the same as Embodiment 1 including the facts that the straight inflow section 35 is formed by bulge-forming process and that the angle ⁇ 2 can be any angle.
  • the recess 37 is formed at a position close to the opening port A with respect to the collision wall 34a in a tube axis direction of the U-bend section 31 as shown in Fig. 13(A) .
  • the recess 37 is formed at a position close to the opening port B with respect to the collision wall 34a in a tube axis direction of the U-bend section 31 as shown in Fig. 13(B) .
  • the recess 37 is not formed on the collision wall 34a, which faces the straight inflow section 35. Since the recess 37 is formed by using a press or punch, forming the recess 37 on the collision wall 34a may deform the straight inflow section 35. Accordingly, the two-way branch pipe 30B can be manufactured in a stable manner while preventing disadvantage of deformation by not providing the recess 37 on the collision wall 34a, which faces the straight inflow section 35.
