Inside the closed container 11 are provided a refrigerant inflow pipe 12 for flowing in a vapor phase medium or a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant and a refrigerant outflow pipe 13 that discharges the vapor-phase refrigerant in the closed container 11 to the outside.
  • the refrigerant inflow pipe 12 and the refrigerant outflow pipe 13 are each installed from the upper surface 11A of the closed container 11 toward the inside of the container 11B.

  • the liquid separator 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7 .
  • This liquid separator 200 is installed in the cooling system F.
  • the cooling system F is provided with an evaporator 100, a liquid separator 200, a compressor 300, a condenser 400, and a decompression expansion valve 500 in a refrigerant flow path (specifically, a pipeline) composed of refrigerant flow paths 610, 620, 630, 640, and 650.
  • the evaporator 100 absorbs the ambient heat H1 by evaporating the liquid-phase refrigerant.
  • the liquid separator 200 separates the refrigerant into gas and liquid.
  • the compressor 300 compresses the vapor-phase refrigerant discharged from the liquid separator 200.
  • the condenser 400 releases the heat of the refrigerant pressurized by the compressor 300 to condense the vapor-phase refrigerant.
  • the decompression expansion valve 500 decompresses and expands the liquid-phase refrigerant cooled by the condenser 400.
  • the refrigerant supplied from the decompression expansion valve 500 via the refrigerant flow path 650 absorbs heat H1 from the heat source by the evaporator 100 and evaporates.
  • the evaporated vapor-phase refrigerant passes through the refrigerant flow path 610, the liquid separator 200, and the refrigerant flow path 620 in this order, and is sent to the compressor 300.
  • the vapor-phase refrigerant compressed to high temperature and high pressure by the compressor 300 is sent to the condenser 400 via the refrigerant flow path 630, radiates H2 to a cold source, and condenses.
  • the liquid-phase refrigerant condensed in the condenser 400 moves to the decompression expansion valve 500 through the refrigerant flow path 640 and is reduced to a predetermined pressure. Subsequently, the liquid-phase refrigerant is sent to the evaporator 100 again through the refrigerant flow path 650.
  • the liquid separator 200 is arranged on the upstream side of the compressor 300 and has a role of preventing the liquid-phase refrigerant from being sucked into the compressor 300.
  • the compressor 300 Since the compressor 300 is designed to compress the vapor-phase refrigerant, it is known that if the liquid-phase refrigerant is mixed in, it will lead to a failure (called a liquid-back phenomenon). Normally, the refrigerant completely evaporates in the evaporator 100 and becomes only a vapor-phase refrigerant. However, in the evaporator 100, when a disturbance such as a decrease in heat load occurs, the refrigerant may not evaporate and a part of the liquid-phase refrigerant may remain. In that case, this liquid-phase refrigerant is sent to the refrigerant flow path 610. Therefore, the liquid separator 200 separates the liquid-phase refrigerant contained in the refrigerant and supplies only the vapor-phase refrigerant to the downstream compressor 300.
  • the refrigerant flow path 620 Unless there are restrictions on installation, it is preferable to construct the refrigerant flow path 620 while avoiding a structure having a reverse gradient with respect to the direction of gravity or a U-shaped structure. This is because if such a reverse gradient structure or U-shaped structure exists in the refrigerant flow path 620, the liquid-phase refrigerant condensed in the refrigerant flow path 620 will accumulate at that portion when the cooling system F is stopped.
  • the liquid separator 200 located on the upstream side of the compressor 300 has a cylindrical housing 210 that serves as a closed container in which the refrigerant is stored. Inside the housing 210 are installed a refrigerant inflow pipe 220 for flowing in a vapor-phase refrigerant or a vapor-liquid two-phase refrigerant and a refrigerant outflow pipe 230 for flowing out the vapor-phase refrigerant in the housing 210 to the outside.
  • the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 and the refrigerant outflow pipe 230 are installed from the upper surface 210A of the housing 210 toward the inside of the container 210B.
  • the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 and the refrigerant outflow pipe 230 are arranged at an interval in the radial direction (R direction) of the housing 210.
  • the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 is connected to the refrigerant flow path 610 in which the vapor-phase refrigerant or the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant from the evaporator 100 is guided.
  • the refrigerant outflow pipe 230 is connected to a refrigerant flow path 620 that guides the vapor-phase refrigerant to the compressor 300.
  • the vapor-phase refrigerant or the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant after passing through the evaporator 100 flows into the housing 210 through the refrigerant inflow pipe 220, and the liquid-phase refrigerant in the gas-liquid mixed flow falls to the bottom of the housing 210 by gravity and accumulates there.
  • the vapor-phase refrigerant in the gas-liquid mixed flow is sent to the compressor 300 through the refrigerant outflow pipe 230.
  • the housing 210 of the liquid separator 200 has a height h relatively small with respect to a diameter along the R direction, and is configured to have a short cylindrical shape as a whole.
  • the housing 210 is formed in the shape of a short cylinder whose height h is relatively small with respect to the diameter in the R direction, even if the compressor 300 with weight is arranged on the upper surface 210A of the housing 210, it is possible to hold the compressor 300 in a stable state.
  • the vapor-phase refrigerant which evaporated by absorbing heat H1 from the heat source by the evaporator 2 is compressed by the compressor 300 to attain a high temperature and high pressure, and then sent to the condenser 400. Subsequently, the liquid-phase refrigerant, which is condensed by heat dissipation H2 to a cold source in the condenser 400, is depressurized to a predetermined pressure by the decompression expansion valve 500 and sent to the evaporator 100 again.
  • a mesh-shaped splash prevention plate 240 is installed below an inlet (opening for the liquid to flow into the liquid separator 200) 220A of the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 to prevent the vapor-phase refrigerant C1 that is supplied through the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 from blowing up the liquid-phase refrigerant C2 that has accumulated in the housing 210.
  • the housing 210 when the flow velocity of the vapor-phase refrigerant C1 supplied through the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 is large, even if the liquid-phase refrigerant is not mixed in the refrigerant C1, the liquid-phase refrigerant C2 staying on the bottom surface of the housing 210 may be blown up by the momentum of the vapor-phase refrigerant C1. In this case, there is a risk that the blown-up liquid-phase refrigerant C2 will flow out from an outlet (opening for the liquid to flow out from the housing 210) 230A of the refrigerant outflow pipe 230.
  • the mesh-shaped splash prevention plate 240 is installed below the refrigerant inflow pipe 220.
  • the mesh-shaped splash prevention plate 240 mitigates the impact of the vapor-phase refrigerant C1 on the liquid surface of the liquid-phase refrigerant C2, thereby preventing the liquid-phase refrigerant C2 from being blown up.
  • the housing 210 is formed in a short cylindrical shape having a height h relatively small in the radial direction (R direction), even if the heavy compressor 300 is arranged on the upper surface 210A of the housing 210, the liquid separator 200 can be held in a stable state without becoming top heavy.
  • the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 and the refrigerant outflow pipe 230 can be arranged in the upper surface 210A of the housing 210 at a regular interval in the radial direction (R direction).
  • the effect of undulation (turbulence) of the liquid level of the liquid-phase refrigerant C2 caused by the inflow of the refrigerant from the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 into the housing 210 is prevented from extending to the refrigerant outflow pipe 230. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the liquid-phase refrigerant C2 in the housing 210 from being blown up and flowing out from the refrigerant outflow pipe 230.
  • providing the mesh-shaped splash prevention plate 240 below the inlet 220A of the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 alleviates the momentum of the vapor-phase refrigerant C1 colliding with the liquid surface to prevent undulation of the liquid level of the liquid-phase refrigerant C2. This also makes it possible to prevent the liquid-phase refrigerant C2 in the housing 210 from flowing out from the outlet 230A of the refrigerant outflow pipe 230.
  • liquid separator 200 there is no complicated structure causing a large pressure loss in the flow path of the vapor-phase refrigerant from the refrigerant inflow pipe 220 to the refrigerant outflow pipe 230.
