Liquid distributor and air conditioner equipped with liquid distributor

Abstract

The invention discloses a liquid distributor and an air conditioner equipped with the liquid distributor. The liquid distributor comprises a distributing part at the upper end and a liquid inlet part at the lower end, wherein a drainage port is formed in the inner side of the lower part of the liquid inlet part, a flow stabilizing hole communicated with the drainage port is formed in the drainage port, the diameter of an inlet of the flow stabilizing hole is smaller than that of the drainage port, the flow stabilizing port extends to the top end of the liquid inlet part, a plurality of distributing ports at equal intervals are formed in the upper end of the flow stabilizing hole, and the distributing part is provided with a plurality of distributing channels communicated with the distributing ports; and the air conditioner is equipped with the liquid distributor. Liquids entering the liquid distributor are uniformly distributed, non-uniform turbulent flow is prevented from being formed, noise produced when a liquid flows is reduced, and the refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of air conditioners, in particular to a liquid separator and an air conditioner equipped with the liquid separator. Background technique [0002] The liquid separator undertakes the important task of evenly distributing the refrigerant on the evaporator of the air conditioning unit. It is an auxiliary device between the expansion valve and the evaporator in the refrigeration system. Its function is to distribute the refrigerant two-phase mixture from the expansion valve evenly and equally to each coil of the evaporator. [0003] Usually, the refrigerant will form a flash gas when it passes through the throttling element, and the task of the liquid separator is to distribute the gas-liquid mixture evenly. The refrigerant entering the liquid separator needs to go through a contraction process in the liquid separator. During this process, it will be accompanied by pressure loss. After passing through this contraction se...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

During the contraction process, the pressure of the refrigerant will increase, the flow rate will also increase, and the energy loss will be large. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant from the expansion valve will flow into the diffusion chamber without sufficient uniform mixing. The refrigerant in the cavity, due to the sudden increase in space, the flow rate and pressure will change suddenly, resulting in turbulent flow, resulting in uneven distribution, reduced heat transfer, and increased energy consumption

At the inlet end of the liquid separator, due to the high-speed diversion and narrow space constraints, the gas-liquid two-phase fluid is easy to separate, and it is easy to generate liquid flow sound, breed noise, and affect the comfort of the environment.
