Description

  The present invention relates to an absorption refrigerator having a two-stage absorption and a two-stage evaporation cycle.

  Conventionally, absorption refrigerators are widely used as heat source machines for building air conditioning and district cooling and heating systems. In order to improve the efficiency of this type of absorption refrigerator, an absorption refrigerator using a two-stage absorption and two-stage evaporation cycle having a plurality of evaporators and absorbers has been developed and used. In an absorption refrigerator using a two-stage absorption and two-stage evaporation cycle, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a high-pressure stage and a low-pressure stage absorber / evaporator are generally configured as an integral can body.

  On the other hand, in recent years, replacement demand for refrigerators has increased. When the refrigerator is replaced, there are many cases where the carry-in route, the carry-in port, and the like are narrow, and thus it is necessary to divide the refrigerator and carry it in. In particular, an absorption refrigerator using a two-stage absorption and a two-stage evaporation cycle has two sets of absorbers / evaporators and is large in size, so there is a high necessity for division. For example, FIG. As shown in the drawing, it has been proposed to use a high-pressure stage and a low-pressure stage absorber / evaporator as individual can bodies, thereby simplifying the structure and facilitating transportation by divided loading.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional absorption refrigerator 500 having the same configuration as that of FIG. The absorption refrigerator 500 shown in the figure has a can body 511 containing a low-pressure stage absorber 507 and a low-pressure stage evaporator 509 disposed below the can body 505 containing a low-temperature regenerator 501 and a condenser 503. Further, a can body 517 containing a high pressure stage absorber 513 and a high pressure stage evaporator 515 is installed on the lower side, and auxiliary equipment (high temperature heat exchanger 519 and low temperature heat exchanger 521 is installed in the lower space of the can body 517. And a solution pump 523 and a refrigerant pump 525). On the other hand, a high temperature regenerator can body 529 is installed separately from each can body. A burner device 531 is installed in the high temperature regenerator can body 529. When the auxiliary machines 519, 521, 523 and 525 are attached to the can body 517, the combined size of the can body 517 and the auxiliary machines becomes larger than the other can bodies 505 and 511. Therefore, it is necessary to divide between the can body 517 and the auxiliary machines in order to obtain the effect of divided carry-in according to the size of the can body 505, 511.

However, as described above, when each of the can bodies 505, 511, 517 and the accessories are divided, the number of divided parts a1 of the pipes connecting the respective can bodies 505, 511, 517 and the accessories is large. In addition, there is a pipe a2 that must be removed from the pipes that connect between the can bodies 505, 511, and 517 that are not adjacent to each other and the auxiliary machinery, and further, welded portions between the can bodies 505, 511, and 517 during assembly. For these reasons, there is a problem that the assembly at the time of carrying in / installing the absorption refrigerator 500 on the site becomes very complicated. In addition, since a large number of can bodies 505, 511, and 517 and accessories are assembled, there is a problem that the absorption refrigerator 500 as a whole cannot be made compact.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and the object thereof is excellent in carry-in properties, and at the same time, it is possible to reduce the number of divided parts and welded parts of the piping, and the assembly can be easily performed, and the cost can be reduced. An object of the present invention is to provide an absorption refrigerator capable of downsizing the entire apparatus.

  When the absorption refrigerator is divided and carried in, the problem is whether or not two small sides out of the three sides of each divided can body can pass through the carry-in entrance. In the case of an absorption refrigerator, it is difficult to divide in the depth direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface shown in FIGS. 1 and 4) because a large number of heat transfer tubes are piped in the can body. Direction. And the carryability of the absorption refrigerator is constrained by a longer side among the vertical and horizontal sides of the divided can body, and further has a longer side among the vertical and horizontal sides of each divided can body. Restrained by the can body. Therefore, when the absorption refrigerator is divided, it is possible to carry in more efficiently if the lengths of the sides in the vertical and horizontal directions of the can barrels or between the can barrels are not much different from each other.

  Accordingly, the invention described in claim 1 of the present application includes a high-temperature regenerator, a low-temperature regenerator, a condenser, a low-pressure stage absorber, a low-pressure stage evaporator, a high-pressure stage absorber, a high-pressure stage evaporator, and piping connecting these devices. In the absorption refrigerator having the two-stage absorption / two-stage evaporation cycle, the low-temperature regenerator, the condenser, the low-pressure stage absorber, and the low-pressure stage evaporator are configured as an integral can body.

  The invention according to claim 2 of the present application is such that the high-pressure stage absorber and the high-pressure stage evaporator are integrated into a can body, and an auxiliary machine including a heat exchanger and a pump in an accessory space installed outside the can body. The storage was installed and configured.

  When the absorption refrigerator is configured as described above, the low-temperature can cylinder constituting the absorption refrigerator can be configured with two can cylinders. Therefore, each can cylinder is compared with the configuration shown in FIG. In addition, the number of pipe divisions connecting between the auxiliary machines is reduced, and the number of welded parts between the can bodies during assembly is also reduced, which simplifies the assembly of the absorption refrigerator in the field during installation / installation. Thus, cost reduction can be achieved. Since it is only necessary to assemble two can bodies at the same time, the entire absorption refrigerator can be made compact as compared with the configuration shown in FIG.

  In addition, it is divided between the can body that houses the low-temperature regenerator, condenser, low-pressure stage absorber, and low-pressure stage evaporator, and the can body that houses the high-pressure stage absorber and high-pressure stage evaporator. Each component of the low-temperature regenerator, condenser, low-pressure stage absorber, low-pressure stage evaporator, which is the component equipment, and high-pressure stage absorber, high-pressure stage evaporator, and auxiliary equipment below the division position The height (size) of the component equipment can be set to a relatively equal height (size), which is an optimal division position for an absorption refrigerator using a two-stage absorption / two-stage evaporation cycle. Therefore, even with a small division of two, these divided components can be passed through a narrow carry-in route / carry-in port, etc., and it is possible to answer the demands such as replacement of the absorption refrigerator.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of an absorption refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The absorption refrigerator 1 shown in the figure is an absorption refrigerator having a two-stage absorption / two-stage evaporation cycle, and houses a low-temperature regenerator 10, a condenser 20, a low-pressure stage absorber 30, and a low-pressure stage evaporator 40. A can body 80 containing a high-pressure stage absorber 60 and a high-pressure stage evaporator 70 is installed below the can body 50, and auxiliary equipment (high-temperature heat) is installed in an accessory space 90 provided below the can body 80. The exchanger 100, the low-temperature heat exchanger 110, the solution pump 120, and the refrigerant pump 130) are housed and arranged, while the high-temperature regenerator can body 150 is installed separately from the can bodies. The high temperature regenerator can body 150 is provided with a burner device 160 for heating. Moreover, although the auxiliary machine space 90 is shown large for convenience of illustration, it is actually a size that can be installed in the lower space of the can body 80.

  In other words, the absorption refrigerator 1 is manufactured by forming the low-temperature regenerator 10, the condenser 20, the low-pressure stage absorber 30 and the low-pressure stage evaporator 40 as an integrated can body 50, and the can body 50, the high-pressure stage absorber 60, and the high-pressure stage absorber 40. The can body 80 in which the stage evaporator 70 is accommodated can be divided. In this way, if only the can body 50 and the can body 80 are divided, the pipe drawn out from the integrally constructed low-temperature regenerator 10, condenser 20, low-pressure stage absorber 30, and low-pressure stage evaporator 40 is provided. As a result, the number of divided portions A1 of the pipes drawn out from the integrally constructed high-pressure absorber 60, high-pressure evaporator 70, and accessories is reduced, and there is no piping that must be removed during the division.

  By the way, the low-temperature regenerator 10, the condenser 20, the low-pressure stage absorber 30, the low-pressure stage evaporator 40, the high-pressure stage absorber 60, and the high-pressure stage evaporator 70 shown in the absorption refrigerator 1 of FIG. The respective devices having substantially the same depth and fit in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape are accommodated in can bodies 50 and 80 formed by welding steel plates or the like. Here, FIG. 2 is an installation state schematic diagram showing an installation state including the size of each device of the absorption refrigerator 1 (except for the high temperature regenerator can body 150). As shown in the figure, the sizes of the absorbers (low pressure stage absorber 30 and high pressure stage absorber 60) and evaporators (low pressure stage evaporator 40 and high pressure stage evaporator 70) for each of the high pressure stage and the low pressure stage are large. There is no difference, and since the auxiliary machine space 90, the low temperature regenerator 10 and the condenser 20 are usually only about half the size of the absorber and the evaporator, if divided as in this embodiment, the can The size of the barrel 50 and the size of the can barrel 80 provided with the accessory space 90 can be divided into sizes that are not so different. In other words, when divided between the high-pressure stage and the low-pressure stage as in this embodiment, it is possible to divide into almost equal sizes in view of the accessory space 90. Further, since there are two divisions, the number of disconnection points (division points A1) of piping and the like can be reduced as described above. That is, since the absorption refrigerator 1 can be efficiently divided into almost half, the work efficiency of disassembly and assembly can be reduced as much as possible, and the size of the equipment at the time of carrying in can be reduced. The size of the high-temperature regenerator can body 150 can be made so that the height thereof is approximately the same as the height of the can body 50. By removing the, it is possible to provide the same carrying ability as that of the can bodies 50 and 80 to be divided.

  FIG. 3 is an installation state schematic diagram showing an example of another installation state including the size of each device of the absorption refrigerator 1 (excluding the high temperature regenerator can body 150). The installation state of the absorption refrigerator 1 is different from the installation state shown in FIG. 2 in that the low-pressure stage absorber 30 and the low-pressure stage evaporator 40 installed in the can body 50 are installed in the horizontal direction. The only difference is that the high-pressure stage absorber 60 and the high-pressure stage evaporator 70 installed in the vertical direction are similarly installed in the can body 80 instead of being installed in the horizontal direction. Even if comprised in this way, it cannot be overemphasized that the effect | action and effect similar to the said embodiment are exhibited. Further, if necessary, either one of the pair of the low-pressure stage absorber 30 and the low-pressure stage evaporator 40 and the pair of the high-pressure stage absorber 60 and the high-pressure stage evaporator 70 is installed in the horizontal direction, and the other pair is installed. May be installed vertically.

  Next, the operation of the absorption refrigerator 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. When the solution is sent from the high pressure stage absorber 60 to the high temperature regenerator can body 150 by the solution pump 120 via the low temperature heat exchanger 110 and the high temperature heat exchanger 100, the burner device 160 of the high temperature regenerator can body 150 transfers this solution. Concentrate with heating to give a concentrated solution. This concentrated solution is sent to the low-temperature regenerator 10 after exchanging heat with the solution sent from the high-pressure stage absorber 60 in the high-temperature heat exchanger 100. On the other hand, the high-temperature refrigerant vapor generated when the solution is heated and concentrated in the high-temperature regenerator can body 150 is sent to the low-temperature regenerator 10 and becomes a heating source of the solution in the low-temperature regenerator 10. In the low-temperature regenerator 10, the solution sent from the high-temperature regenerator can body 150 is heated and concentrated by the high-temperature refrigerant vapor to become a concentrated solution. This concentrated solution is introduced into the low-pressure stage absorber 30 after the temperature is lowered by exchanging heat with the low-temperature heat exchanger 110.

  On the other hand, in the condenser 20, the refrigerant vapor generated in the low temperature regenerator 10 is cooled and condensed by cooling water (supplied by the pipe 191) to become a refrigerant liquid, and the high temperature refrigerant from the high temperature regenerator can body 150. The refrigerant liquid that is vapor and condensed in the low-temperature regenerator 10 joins, and these refrigerant liquids are introduced into the low-pressure stage evaporator 40. In the low-pressure stage evaporator 40, the refrigerant liquid that has flowed in from the condenser 20 partially evaporates, and the remainder stays at the bottom and is introduced into the high-pressure stage evaporator 70. Also in the high-pressure stage evaporator 70, a part of the refrigerant liquid evaporates and the rest stays at the bottom, and is supplied again to the low-pressure stage evaporator 40 by the refrigerant pump 130. The cold water supplied to the high-pressure stage evaporator 70 by the pipe 180 is cooled by the high-pressure stage evaporator 70, then cooled by the low-pressure stage evaporator 40, and led from the pipe 181 to the cooling load system. The cold water whose temperature has risen after passing through the cooling load system is supplied again from the pipe 180 to the high-pressure stage evaporator 70.

  On the other hand, the concentrated solution that has been heat-exchanged by the low-temperature heat exchanger 110 and introduced into the low-pressure stage absorber 30 is supplied to the surface of the absorption heat transfer tube of the low-pressure stage absorber 30 and is evaporated by the low-pressure stage evaporator 40 on the surface. The absorbed refrigerant vapor is absorbed, and the absorbed heat generated at this time is removed by the cooling water flowing in the absorption heat transfer tube. The solution that has absorbed the refrigerant vapor by the low-pressure stage absorber 30 is introduced into the high-pressure stage absorber 60 and absorbs the refrigerant vapor evaporated by the high-pressure stage evaporator 70 as in the case of the low-pressure stage absorber 30. The absorption heat generated at this time is also removed by the cooling water flowing in the absorption heat transfer tube, as in the case of the low-pressure stage absorber 30. The solution diluted by absorbing the refrigerant vapor is sent again to the high temperature regenerator can body 150 by the solution pump 120.

  By the way, the cooling water is sent into the absorption heat transfer tube of the high pressure stage absorber 60 from the cooling means such as a cooling tower by the pipe 190, and is sent to the absorption heat transfer tube of the low pressure stage absorber 30 after cooling the solution. The solution is cooled, and further, the refrigerant vapor sent to the condenser 20 by the pipe 191 and cooled in the low temperature regenerator 10 is cooled and condensed, and then circulated to the cooling means by the pipe 193.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims and the specification and drawings. Is possible. Note that any structure not directly described in the specification and drawings is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention as long as the effects and advantages of the present invention are exhibited. For example, in the above embodiment, an example of a series flow is shown as an example of a solution flow, but a parallel flow may be used. In the above embodiment, the auxiliary space 90 accommodates and arranges the high-temperature heat exchanger 100, the low-temperature heat exchanger 110, the solution pump 120, and the refrigerant pump 130 as auxiliary devices, but stores various other auxiliary devices. Conversely, for example, the high-temperature heat exchanger 100 may be installed in the lower space of the high-temperature regenerator can body 150 instead of the auxiliary machine space 90. You may install in the place of.
