Gas-liquid separator and air conditioner

Abstract

The invention discloses a gas-liquid separator which comprises a tank, a gas inlet pipe and an exhaust pipe, wherein the gas inlet pipe and the exhaust pipe are communicated with the tank. The bottom of the gas inlet pipe is closed, and the side wall of the gas inlet pipe is provided with gas inlets through which gas horizontally enters the tank. Because the gas inlets through which the gas horizontally enters the tank are formed in the gas inlet pipe, liquid left at the bottom of the tank cannot be directly injected through the gas, the gas enters the tank in parallel with the liquid level, the situation that the gas disturbs liquid at the bottom is effectively avoided, accordingly, the liquid level in the tank cannot rise, gas entrance cannot lead to decrease of the effective volume of the gas-liquid separator; in addition, the gas horizontally entering the tank cannot cause violent disturbance in the tank, the phenomenon that the gas is mixed with the liquid again cannot occur, and thus the separation effect of the gas-liquid separator is effectively guaranteed. The invention further discloses an air conditioner with the gas-liquid separator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gas-liquid separation, and more specifically, to a gas-liquid separator and an air conditioner. Background technique [0002] The gas-liquid separator is widely used in air conditioners. It is installed before the suction port of the compressor. The purpose is to prevent the compressor from sucking too much liquid and causing liquid shock. The refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separation after evaporating and exchanging heat. Gas-liquid separation in the tank. [0003] In the current gas-liquid separator, the inlet pipe is designed as a straight pipe, and the intake air is directly sprayed to the bottom of the tank of the gas-liquid separator by the axis of the gas-liquid separator. Therefore, the kinetic energy carried by the gas directly injected to the bottom of the tank will increase the liquid level at the bottom of the liquid tank, and the effective volume of the entire gas-liquid separator will de...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the current gas-liquid separator, the inlet pipe is designed as a straight pipe, and the intake air is sprayed vertically from the axis of the gas-liquid inlet pipe to the bottom of the tank of the gas-liquid separator, because there is refrigerant at the bottom of the tank of the gas-liquid separator Therefore, the kinetic energy carried by the gas directly injected to the bottom of the tank will increase the liquid level at the bottom of the liquid tank, and the effective volume of the entire gas-liquid separator will decrease; at the same time, the violent disturbance caused by the intake air injection will also Promote gas-liquid remixing, thereby significantly reducing the separation function of the gas-liquid separator
