Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of HVAC evaporative refrigeration, in particular to an air indirect evaporative refrigeration core. Background Art
[0002] At present, the indirect evaporation core materials on the market are divided into metal core and non-metal core. Non-metallic core is usually made of PVC. The common problems are:
[0003] 1. The wet channel has a short heat exchange time and a short contact time between air and water, which results in poor evaporative cooling effect in the wet channel and reduces the evaporation efficiency of the indirect evaporation core;
[0004] 2. The sealing problem of the indirect evaporation core is difficult to solve. The dry and wet channels are stacked with horizontal and vertical PVC frames. Due to the limitation of the mold size, a single frame needs to be spliced with two horizontal or vertical frames. There is a gap at the joint, and there is a gap between the horizontal and vertical directions. A large amount of sealant is required for sealing. Over time, the sealant is prone to cracking and falling off, causing wind to cross the dry and wet channels and reducing the evaporation efficiency of the indirect evaporation core.
[0005] 3. The indirect evaporation core is stacked with PVC skeletons, which are weak in strength and require high assembly process. The skeleton is molded into a V-shaped array. During assembly, the strength is insufficient and the skeleton is squeezed, resulting in a smaller air duct, uneven wind, increased air flow resistance, and affected core efficiency. The skeleton is installed too loosely, which is easy to loosen, dislocate, and deform, affecting the appearance and the direction of air and water flow, and increasing the unqualified rate of finished products.

[0044] When in use, in the wet channel, the air flow and the water flow flow in the opposite direction to perform a heat exchange. In the dry channel, the air flow and the wet channel air flow perform a secondary heat exchange to achieve secondary heat exchange. When water flows through the wet channel, the water storage groove 2 can store part of the water, thereby increasing the contact time between water and air in the wet channel and improving the evaporation efficiency.
[0045] In this embodiment, the two heat exchange plates 1 in the dry channel are provided with edge seals 6 on the upper and lower sides, and the two heat exchange plates 1 in the wet channel are provided with edge seals 6 on the left and right sides; the edge seal 6 process is adopted between the heat exchange plates 1, so that the edges of the two heat exchange plates 1 are melted into one, the welding width is about 10mm, the welding is firm, the sealing is good, the problems caused by the use of colloid sealing are avoided, and the core performance is stable.
[0046] In this embodiment, the water storage groove 2 is a long strip-shaped groove, which can increase the contact area between the stored water and the airflow.
[0047] In this embodiment, there are two types of the barrier member 3, namely, a first rib 31 and a second rib 32. The first rib 31 and the second rib 32 are alternately arranged on the surface of the heat exchange plate 1, and the first rib 31 and the second rib 32 are both S-shaped structures. A plurality of arc-shaped notches 4 are evenly spaced on the first rib 31. Firstly, compared with the straight-line type, the first rib 31 and the second rib 32 with the S-shaped structure have a longer distance, a larger force-bearing area, and a stronger strength. In addition, the heat exchange plate 1 itself has a certain strength, which ensures that the wind channel is not deformed under force, the wind channel is unobstructed, the wind resistance is small, and the airflow outlet is formed. The arrangement of the arc-shaped notches 4 can make the airflow flow to the adjacent channels, and the airflow is more uniform, thereby ensuring the stability of the core efficiency.

When the adjacent heat exchange plates 1 are combined, the protrusions 5 of one heat exchange plate 1 can be correspondingly installed in the grooves of another heat exchange plate 1; the protrusions 5 on the ribs can serve as force-bearing surfaces and dimension positioning surfaces when the heat exchange plates 1 are stacked, so as to ensure the flatness of the stacking dimensions, and at the same time, the force is transmitted through the protrusions 5 to increase the strength of the entire core.
[0049] In this embodiment, the heat exchange plate 1 is formed by one-time vacuum forming of PP material. Since the heat exchange plate 1 is formed in one time, there is no splicing gap in the PP heat exchange plate 1, which eliminates the phenomenon of wind cross-flow and ensures the core performance.
[0050] In this embodiment, the heat exchange plates 1 are provided with splicing frames 7 at the four corners along the periphery, and the splicing frames 7 facilitate the positioning of the heat exchange plates 1 when they are stacked.
[0051] In this embodiment, a sheet metal outer frame 8 is further included, and the plurality of heat exchange plates 1 are fixedly installed in the sheet metal outer frame 8 .
[0052] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0053] In the wet channel, the airflow and the water flow flow in the opposite direction to perform a heat exchange. In the dry channel, the airflow and the airflow in the wet channel perform a secondary heat exchange to achieve a secondary heat exchange. When the water flows through the wet channel, the water storage groove 2 can store a part of the water, thereby increasing the contact time between the water and the air in the wet channel and improving the evaporation efficiency.
[0054] The heat exchanger plate 1 adopts the edge sealing 6 process to fuse the edges of the two heat exchanger plates 1 into one, with a welding width of about 10mm. The welding is firm and has good sealing, avoiding the problems caused by using colloid sealing, and the core performance is stable;

The heat exchange plate 1 itself has a certain strength, which ensures that the wind channel is not deformed by force, the wind channel is unobstructed, the wind resistance is small, and the air flow outlet is formed; the setting of the arc-shaped notch 4 can make the air flow flow to the adjacent channel, the air flow is more uniform, and the core efficiency is ensured to be stable;
[0056] The protrusions 5 on the ribs can serve as a force-bearing surface and a dimension positioning surface when the heat exchange plates 1 are stacked, ensuring that the stacking dimensions are flat. At the same time, the force is transmitted through the protrusions 5 to increase the strength of the entire core.
[0057] The heat exchange plate 1 is formed by one-step vacuum forming, and through the concave-convex structure design, dry and wet channels, barriers 3, protrusions 5 and water storage grooves 2 are formed to achieve efficiency, strength and other functions and performance optimization.
