AI Technical Summary
In existing carbon dioxide refrigeration units, the condenser-evaporator and the low-pressure circulation tank are two separate devices, resulting in excessive equipment height, increased transportation and installation costs, and reduced NPSH of the refrigeration pump, which can easily lead to malfunctions.
Design a plate-shell type condenser-evaporator circulation tank that integrates the condenser-evaporator and the low-pressure circulation tank. It is equipped with an air outlet, a left end cap, a cylinder, a plate core, an air inlet, a right end cap, a liquid inlet, and a liquid outlet. A liquid storage space is provided at the bottom of the cylinder. The plate core can be installed in the gas phase zone or the liquid phase zone. The air inlet can be located at the top or side of the cylinder, enabling the overall transportation and safe operation of the equipment.
Lowering equipment height simplifies system design, reduces the number of pipes, improves system performance, saves costs, and ensures safe operation of the refrigeration pump, while preventing cavitation.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the refrigeration technology, and particularly relates to a plate-shell condensing and evaporating circulation barrel applied to a cooling or cascade refrigeration system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the existing carbon dioxide cooling unit, the condensing evaporator and the low-pressure circulation barrel are two separate devices. Due to the need of gravity liquid falling, the condensing evaporator must be placed above the low-pressure circulation barrel, so that the device is very high. Due to the height limitation in transportation, the device must be divided into upper and lower parts, which increases the cost of device manufacturing, transportation, installation and the like. In some projects, the height of the machine room is low. In order to enable the device to be installed, the height between the refrigeration pump and the low-pressure circulation barrel must be reduced, which greatly reduces the safety gas cavitation allowance of the refrigeration pump, and the refrigeration pump is prone to cavitation phenomenon, and even causes the refrigeration pump to fail in severe cases. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application belongs to the refrigeration technology, and particularly relates to a plate-shell condensing and evaporating circulation barrel applied to a cooling or cascade refrigeration system.
[0004] The present application has the beneficial effects compared with the prior art: on the one hand, the condensing evaporator and the low-pressure circulation barrel are made into a condensing and evaporating circulation barrel, the overall height of the device is reduced, the device can be transported integrally without being divided into upper and lower parts, and the height between the refrigeration pump and the low-pressure circulation barrel can be ensured in the case that the height of the machine room is low, so that the pump can be safely operated; on the other hand, the condensing evaporator and the low-pressure circulation barrel are designed as a two-in-one structure, the system design is simplified, the number of pipes is reduced, the along-path resistance of the pipeline is reduced, the system performance is improved, and the cost is saved; on the other hand, the condensing and evaporating circulation barrel has the heat exchange of the condensing evaporator and the gas-liquid separation and liquid storage functions of the low-pressure circulation barrel; on the other hand, the condensing and evaporating circulation barrel is a combined structure of the condensing evaporator and the low-pressure circulation barrel in the cooling system, or a combined structure of the condensing evaporator and the liquid storage device in the cascade system.
