[0002] Traditional refrigerated dryers utilize a refrigerant to exchange heat with compressed air, reducing the compressed air's temperature to a dew point between 2 and 10°C. With the continuous development of the refrigerated dryer industry, more and more companies are entering the air compressor sector, with many emerging as prominent players. Refrigerated dryers are categorized by condenser cooling method: air-cooled or water-cooled. They are categorized by inlet air temperature: high-temperature (below 80°C) and normal-temperature (around 45°C). Operating pressures include standard (0.3-1.0 MPa) and medium- and high-pressure (above 1.2 MPa). In addition, specialized refrigerated dryers are available to handle non-air media, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, natural gas, blast furnace gas, and nitrogen.

[0003] In existing technologies, the core of a refrigerated dryer lies in the evaporator. The pipes in the existing evaporator adopt a circular tube structure, and fins are added to the circular tube structure. The air temperature that contacts the inner wall of the pipe during liquid flow is carried away. As the liquid flows in the pipe, the temperature of the liquid in the center of the pipe is displaced to the liquid near the inner wall of the pipe, thereby achieving temperature transfer. How to optimize this temperature transfer method is expected to be well solved! Utility Model Content

[0012] The constriction portion is composed of two arc-shaped portions with adjacent outer arc tops;

[0013] The curved pipe has a water outlet and a water inlet, and a pipe connector is provided on the end thereof. The outlet of the pipe connector is located at the center of the bundled mouth portion.

[0014] Preferably, the chamfered isosceles triangle portion is located outside the curved pipe.

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG6 , an evaporator of a refrigerated dryer includes a gas-water separator 300, a pre-cooling regenerator 301, a pre-cooler 302, a circulation pipe 303, a compressor 304, a drying filter 305, a condenser 306, a pressure gauge 307, and an evaporator, wherein:

[0032] The precooler 302 is connected to the precooling regenerator 301, the precooling regenerator 301 is connected to the gas-water separator 300, and the gas-water separator 300 is connected to the evaporator;

[0033] The evaporator is connected to the condenser 306, and the connecting pipe is connected in series with a drying filter 305;

[0034] The compressor 304 is connected to the evaporator through a circulation pipe 303, and a pressure gauge 307 is connected to the connecting pipe between the two;

[0035] The condenser 306 is in communication with the compressor 304 .

[0036] A compressed air inlet 14 is provided at one end of the precooler 8, and a delivery pipe 18 is fixedly installed at the other end of the precooler 8. The compressed air inlet 14 is used for inputting air, and the delivery pipe 18 is used for delivering air.

[0037] A dry air outlet is fixedly mounted on the outside of the pre-cooling regenerator 301. The bottom of the pre-cooling regenerator 301 is connected to an air-water separator 300, which is used to collect and reflux air. The bottom of the air-water separator 300 is connected to a drain pipe, with an automatic drain installed above it. The air-water separator collects water, while the automatic drain drains it away. One end of the circulation pipe 303 is connected to a liquid reservoir, which is connected to the compressor 304. The circulation pipe of the compressor 304 is connected to a dry filter 305, which effectively removes moisture from the circulation pipe 303. The liquid passing through the condenser 306 is cooled as much as possible and transferred to the evaporator, from where it returns to the compressor 304.

[0038] Furthermore, the evaporator in the above embodiment includes a curved tube 1, the cross section of which is structurally divided into: a constricted portion 11, a U-shaped portion 12 located at both ends of the constricted portion 11 and connected to a side wall of the U-shaped portion 12, and a chamfered isosceles triangle portion 13 connected to one side wall of the U-shaped portion 12;

[0039] The constriction portion 11 is composed of two arc-shaped portions with adjacent outer arc tops;

[0040] The curved pipe fitting 1 has a water outlet and a water inlet, and a pipe connector 2 is provided on the ends thereof. The outlet of the pipe connector 2 is located at the center of the constriction portion 11 .

[0041] Specific, combined Figure 3 It can be seen that the chamfered isosceles triangle portion 13 is located outside the curved pipe 1. The curved pipe 1 is a copper pipe or a copper alloy pipe.

[0042] In the above technology, the liquid enters from the bundle mouth portion 11. Since the bundle mouth portion 11 is composed of two arc-shaped portions with adjacent outer arc tops, three streams will be formed when entering the bundle mouth portion 11, namely the first stream flowing along the bundle mouth portion 11, the second and third streams located at the U-shaped portion 12 and the chamfered isosceles triangle portion 13 on both sides, and the stream flowing at the bundle mouth portion 11 has a fast flow rate. Due to the flow rate difference, the second and third streams will be close to the first stream, thereby causing displacement to accelerate the temperature displacement rate of the liquid from the center to both sides.

[0043] As a further embodiment provided by the present invention, a plurality of aluminum alloy plates 3 are disposed in a linear array between adjacent surfaces of the curved pipe 1. The cross-section of the aluminum alloy plates 3 is an M-shaped structure with rounded corners. This increases the contact area between the plates, thereby rapidly absorbing heat from the curved pipe 1 and enabling heat exchange.

[0044] As another embodiment further provided by the present invention, both ends of the arc portion contact the side of the aluminum alloy plate 3 to form a cavity 100. Specifically, the presence of the cavity 100 increases the contact surface.

[0045] As another embodiment further provided by the present invention, a grid frame 4 is fixedly installed on both sides of the curved pipe fitting 1. The grid frame 4 includes vertical partitions composed of two parallel vertical plates 41. A plurality of V-shaped members 42 arranged in a linear array are provided between the two vertical plates 41.

[0046] A C-shaped plate 43 is further provided between the vertical plates 41 . The end of the C-shaped plate 43 faces the curved pipe 1 and is located between the two V-shaped members 42 .

[0047] Specifically, the heat exhaust fan in the embodiment is located on one side of the grille frame 4 , and because the grille frame 4 is designed to be overhead, the contact surface with the air is increased, thereby increasing the heat exchange on both sides of the curved pipe 1 .

[0048] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
