Definitions

  • the invention falls into the technical field of heat exchangers, and specifically relates to a multi-stage flow distribution plate group for heat exchanger.
  • the brazed plate heat exchanger is a high-efficiency heat exchanger made of a series of corrugated metal sheets stacked and brazed. Channels are formed between various sheets, and heat exchange is realized through these sheets. Compared with conventional shell-and-tube heat exchangers, its heat transfer coefficient is much higher under the same flow resistance and pump power. Therefore, this heat exchanger tends to replace shell-and-tube heat exchangers within the applicable range.
  • this invention discloses a multi-stage flow distribution plate group for heat exchanger.
  • the main panel of the sheet is provided with a shunt area, a main heat exchanging area and a confluence area.
  • Shunt ribs are set between the shunt area and the main heat exchanging area and between the main heat exchanging area and the confluence area, which is conducive to the uniform distribution of the medium and helps to improve the performance and stability of the heat exchanger.
  • Multi-stage flow distribution plate group for heat exchanger comprising at least two pairs of unit plate groups, each pair of the said unit plate group includes a first plate and a second plate that are stacked; both the said first plate and the second plate include a main panel and a surrounding baffle, the main panel includes a shunt area, a main heat exchanging area and the confluence area; shunt ribs are set between the said shunt area and the main heat exchanging area as well as between the main heat exchanging area and the confluence area, which are used to evenly distribute the medium flowing from the shunt area into the main heat exchanging area and the medium flowing from the main heat exchanging area into the confluence area.
  • the said shunt area is provided with a few ridges I, and the neighboring ridges I form valley I in between, the angle formed by the ridge I and the shunt rib is ⁇ ;
  • the said main heat exchanging area is provided with a few ridges II, neighboring ridge II form the valley II in between, the angle formed by the said ridge II and the shunt rib is ⁇ ;
  • the said confluence area is provided with a few ridges III, neighboring ridge III form the valley III, and the angle formed by the said ridge III and the shunt rib is ⁇ ; the angle ⁇ is not equal to ⁇ ; the angle ⁇ is not equal to ⁇ .
  • the said angle ⁇ is 30- 45° which is equal to ⁇ , and the angle ⁇ is 20-30°, if the said plate group is used for evaporators.
  • the said angle ⁇ is 20- 30° which is equal to ⁇ , and the angle ⁇ is 30-45°, if the said plate group is used for condensers.
  • the said ridge I, ridge II and ridge III all tilt in the same direction; the second plate rotates 180° relative to the first plate; the height of the said ridge I, ridge II and ridge III are identical, equal to twice the height of the shunt rib.
  • the said valley II of the first plate is provided with a few convex grooves protruding toward the ridge II and, the said ridge II of the second plate is provided with a few concave grooves denting toward the valley II.
  • the said convex groove and the concave groove are equal in size, and are evenly distributed on their corresponding valley II and ridge II.
  • the heights of the said indentation and the bulge are equal, being half of the height of the ridge II.
  • the top of the ridge II of the first plate is divided by the indentations into a first ridge II and a second ridge II; the bottom of the said valley II of the second plate is divided by the bulges into the first valley II and the second valley II, the top width of the first ridge II , the top width of the second ridge II, the bottom width of the valley II of the first plate, the bottom width of the first valley II, the bottom width of the second valley II and the top width of the ridge II of the second plate are all equal; the bottom width of the indentation and the top width of the bulge are equal; the top width of the first ridge II is larger than the top width of the bulge.
  • Multi-stage flow distribution plate group for heat exchanger comprising at least two pairs of unit plate groups, each pair of the said unit plate group includes a first plate 1 and a second plate 2 that are stacked; both the said first plate 1 and the second plate 2 include a main panel and a surrounding baffle 3, the main panel includes a shunt area 41, a main heat exchanging area 42 and the confluence area 43; shunt ribs 44 are set between the said shunt area 41 and the main heat exchanging area 42 as well as between the main heat exchanging area 42 and the confluence area 43, which are used to evenly distribute the medium flowing from the shunt area 41 into the main heat exchanging area 42 and the medium flowing from the main heat exchanging area 42 into the confluence area 43.
  • the shunt ribs 44 are set to make the medium flowing from the shunt area 41 to the main heat exchanging area 42 evenly distributed at the split ribs 44, which is conducive to the uniform flow of the medium into the main heat exchanging area 42. After the medium completes the heat exchange in the main heat exchanging area 42, it then collected together evenly undergoes a secondary distribution through the shunt ribs 44 located between the main heat exchanging area 42 and confluence area 43, and flowed to the exit through the confluence area 43. The medium goes through two even distributions during the whole process, this allows more homogeneous circulation of the medium in the path, which helps to increase the efficiency and stability of heat exchange in a long run.
  • the arrangement of the shunt rib 44 can provide effective support for the entire heat exchanging plate, improve the strength of the panel, and help solve the problem of deformation.
  • the said shunt area 41 is provided with a few ridges I 411, and the neighboring ridges I 411 form valley I 412 in between, the angle formed by the ridge I 411 and the shunt rib 44 is ⁇ ;
  • the said main heat exchanging area 42 is provided with a few ridges II 421, neighboring ridge II 421 form the valley II 422 in between, the angle formed by the said ridge II 421 and the shunt rib 44 is ⁇ ;
  • the said confluence area 43 is provided with a few ridges III 431, neighboring ridge III 431 form the valley III 432, and the angle formed by the said ridge III 431 and the shunt rib 44 is ⁇ ;
  • the angle ⁇ is not equal to ⁇ ;
  • the angle ⁇ is not equal to ⁇ .
  • the medium Since ⁇ is not equal to ⁇ , the medium will not flow directly from the shunt area 41 to the main heat exchanging area 42, rather, it will be distributed at the shunt rib 44 before entering the main heat exchanging area 42. Since the angle ⁇ is not equal to ⁇ , the medium is thus first evenly distributed before entering the confluence area 43.
  • the said angle ⁇ is 30- 45° which is equal to ⁇ , and the angle ⁇ is 20-30°, if the said plate group is used for evaporators. Since evaporation is the process of converting liquid to vapor, setting the angle ⁇ (or ⁇ ) to a larger value is more conducive to the rapid flow of liquid (or vapor) into (or rapid evaporation out from) the main heat exchanging area 42, thereby improving evaporation performance.
  • the said angle ⁇ is 20- 30° which is equal to ⁇ , and the angle ⁇ is 30-45°, if the said plate group is used for condensers. Since condensation is the process of converting vapor to liquid, setting the ⁇ (or ⁇ ) angle to a larger value is more conducive to the rapid flow of vapor (or liquid) into (or out of) the main heat exchanging area 42, thereby increasing condensation performance.
  • the said ridge I 411, ridge II 421 and ridge III 431 all tilt in the same direction; the second plate 2 rotates 180° relative to the first plate 1; the height of the said ridge I 411, ridge II 421 and ridge III 431 are identical, equal to twice the height of the shunt rib 44.
  • the said valley II 422 of the first plate 1 is provided with a few convex grooves 423 protruding toward the ridge II 421 and, the said ridge II 421 of the second plate 2 is provided with a few concave grooves 424 denting toward the valley II 422.
  • the convex grooves 423 set on valley II 422 and the grooves 424 set on ridge II 421 help to reduce the pressure drop, enable the medium to circulate faster and more homogenously, which improves the heat exchanging performance.
  • the said convex groove 423 and the concave groove 424 are equal in size, and are evenly distributed on their corresponding valley II 422 and ridge II 421.
  • the heights of the said indentation 425 and the bulge 426 are equal, being half of the height of the ridge II 421.
  • the top of the ridge II 421 of the first plate 1 is divided by the indentations 425 into a first ridge II 4211 and a second ridge II 4212; the bottom of the said valley II 422 of the second plate 2 is divided by the bulges 426 into the first valley II 4221 and the second valley II 4222, the top width of the first ridge II 4211, the top width of the second ridge II 4212, the bottom width of the valley II 422 of the first plate 1, the bottom width of the first valley II 4221, the bottom width of the second valley II 4222 and the top width of the ridge II 421 of the second plate 2 are all equal; the bottom width of the indentation 425 and the top width of the bulge 426 are equal; the top width of the first ridge II 4211 is larger than the top width of the bulge 426.
