The invention discloses a
refrigerant flow equalizing device for a shell-and-tube
heat exchanger. The
refrigerant flow equalizing device comprises an inlet tube, an end cover plate, a first-stage
distributor, a second-stage
distributor, a tube plate and a heat exchange tube, wherein the end cover plate is arranged on one side of the first-stage
distributor, the other side of the first-stage distributor is connected with the second-stage distributor, the tube plate is arranged on one side of the second-stage distributor, and the heat exchange tube is arranged on the tube plate; a first-stage cross-shaped distribution flow channel is machined in the side wall, close to the end cover plate, of the first-stage distributor, and the inlet tube penetrates through the end cover plate to communicate with the first-stage cross-shaped distribution flow channel; and a second-stage cross-shaped distribution flow channel is machined in the side wall surface, close to the first-stage distributor, of the second-stage distributor, and a third-stage distribution flow channel is machined in the other side of the second-stage distributor. According to the
refrigerant flow equalizing device, a refrigerant working medium in the inlet tube is evenly distributed into the heat exchange tube, the overall working medium efficiency of the
heat exchanger is improved, the flowing resistance and pressure drop in the distributor are reduced, waste of the heat exchange area caused by uneven working medium distribution is avoided,
machining can be carried out through simple
machining methods such as linear
cutting and milling, and large-scale manufacturing and popularization are convenient.
