Problems solved by technology

The microchannel flat tubes used in microchannel heat exchangers are mostly made of aluminum. However, due to material and structural reasons, the strength of the microchannel flat tubes is low, causing deformation and other problems to occur frequently.
In addition, the heat exchange efficiency of the currently used microchannel heat exchangers such as rectangular micropores, oval micropores and triangular micropores is still low and needs to be further improved.
[0003] There is a microchannel flat tube with hexagonal micropores, but because it is only arranged in a single row, the wall thickness of each micropore is uneven, the heat transfer is not ineffective and the heat transfer effect is poor, and because of its arrangement The direction is arranged sequentially along the width direction of the flat tube, so the number of micropores in the flat tube is small and the heat transfer efficiency is low

Abstract

The invention provides a micro-channel flat tube, a micro-channel heat exchanger and an air conditioner. The micro-channel flat tube comprises a honeycomb-shaped micro-pore channel, and the micro-pore channel comprises a first micro-pore unit, a second micro-pore unit and a third micro-pore unit; the first micro-pore unit comprises multiple first micro-pores, the first micro-pores extend in the first direction, and the cross section of each first micro-pore is in a regular hexagon shape; the second micro-pore unit comprises multiple second micro-pores which are arranged at intervals in the second direction; the third micro-pore unit comprises multiple third micro-pores which are arranged at intervals in the second direction; and the cross sections of the second micro-pores and the third micro-pores are in shapes of isosceles trapezoids, the second micro-pores and the third micro-pores extend in the first direction, and the second micro-pore unit and the third micro-pore unit are arranged on the two opposite sides, in the thickness direction of the micro-channel flat tube, of the first micro-pore unit correspondingly. The micro-channel flat tube can ensure the strength and meanwhile remarkably improve the heat exchange efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a microchannel flat tube, a microchannel heat exchanger and an air conditioner. Background technique [0002] Due to the excellent heat transfer characteristics and cost advantages of micro-channel heat exchangers, the usage rate of micro-channel heat exchangers in household and commercial air conditioners is increasing. The micro-channel flat tubes used in micro-channel heat exchangers are mostly made of aluminum, but due to material and structural reasons, the strength of the micro-channel flat tubes is low, resulting in frequent deformation and other problems. In addition, the heat exchange efficiency of the currently used microchannel heat exchangers such as rectangular micropores, oval micropores and triangular micropores is still low and needs to be further improved. [0003] There is a microchannel flat tube with hexagonal micropores, but because it is only arranged...
