Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of refrigerators or heat pump systems, and in particular relates to a pressure isolating device for preventing steam from penetrating. Background Art

[0002] Lithium bromide absorption heat pumps or absorption refrigerators are widely used in heating systems and various industrial processes. The stability and good performance of the unit operation are the key to the design and development of the unit. The unit operates in a vacuum environment. There are multiple cavities inside the unit. The working fluid (such as lithium bromide solution, refrigerant water) will flow between multiple cavities. The cavities are generally connected by U-shaped tubes as flow isolation devices. The U-shaped tube can not only provide a working fluid flow channel, but also play a role in stabilizing the pressure isolation of the two cavities. When the working fluid in the high-pressure cavity flows to the low-pressure cavity, violent flash evaporation will occur in the flow isolation device, forming a fierce gas-liquid two-phase flow, causing the average density of the fluid in the tube to be greatly reduced, which makes the actual pressure isolation capacity of the pressure isolation device (U-shaped tube) more than 60% lower than the design value. When the pressure difference between the cavities at both ends of the U-shaped tube is high, the liquid level of the U-shaped tube disappears, and the pressure effect of isolating the two cavities by the liquid seal disappears, and the steam in the two cavities penetrates. Especially when steam penetrates the condensing U-tube from the condenser to the evaporator, the cooling capacity of the unit will be reduced and the COP will be greatly reduced; therefore, process structure optimization should be adopted to avoid this problem.

[0003] The applicant discovered that the reason for the steam penetration of the U-tube used for pressure isolation is the process of two-phase flow (phase change) in the flow of the internal working fluid. This spontaneous flash phase change under vacuum to produce a gas-liquid two-phase flow process was discovered for the first time in the field of absorption heat pumps or absorption refrigerators, and is also rare in the field of traditional two-phase flow research. Therefore, there is no method or device in the existing research and invention to prevent the steam penetration of the U-tube pressure isolation device; when two-phase flow occurs in the tube, all existing units simply do not have the height conditions to design a U-tube that high to maintain the required pressure difference; specifically, a U-tube of about 6 to 8 meters in height is required to maintain the pressure difference; but this exceeds the height of all lithium bromide absorption heat pumps or absorption refrigerators.

[0004] To address this problem, we propose a new pressure isolation device for preventing steam penetration; we look for a suitable cold source in the process of lithium bromide absorption heat pump or absorption refrigeration unit, and cool the fluid passing through the pressure isolation device (U-tube) in various heat exchange modes without affecting the performance of the unit, thereby avoiding two-phase flow and steam penetration problems; while maintaining the pressure isolation mode of the pressure isolation device (U-tube), only a slight change can solve the common steam penetration problem of absorption machines, thereby greatly improving the refrigeration COP of various existing absorption machines.

[0007] The cooling and heat exchange of the fluid in the U-tube cooling section is achieved by: cooling and heat exchange by a low-temperature fluid or direct heat exchange inside the unit.

[0009] The unit is a multi-stage lithium bromide absorption heat pump or refrigerator, and the U-tube inlet section and U-tube outlet section of each stage are respectively connected to the condenser and evaporator of this stage; at the same time, the refrigerant water of the lower refrigerant water tank is used as the cold side fluid of the heat exchanger of this stage, and the refrigerant water of the lowest refrigerant water tank is also used as the cold side fluid of the heat exchanger of this stage.

[0010] The direct heat exchange from inside the unit is as follows: a transverse tube is respectively installed at the position where the U-tube cooling section is connected to the U-tube inlet section and at the position where the U-tube cooling section is connected to the U-tube outlet section, and the U-tube cooling section with the transverse tube installed is immersed in the refrigerant water of the low-temperature refrigerant water tank in the unit; thereby reducing the flow resistance of the U-tube cooling section.

[0011] The unit is a multi-stage lithium bromide absorption heat pump or refrigerator, and the U-tube inlet section and U-tube outlet section of each stage are respectively connected to the condenser and evaporator of the same stage; at the same time, the U-tube cooling section of each stage is connected to the refrigerant water tank of the lower stage through a cross pipe, and the refrigerant water in the refrigerant water tank of the lower stage is used to exchange heat with the fluid in the U-tube cooling section of the current stage, and the refrigerant water in the refrigerant water tank of the lowest stage is also used as the cold side fluid of the U-tube cooling section of the current stage.

[0012] The unit is a multi-stage lithium bromide absorption heat pump or refrigerator, and the U-tube inlet section and the U-tube outlet section are respectively connected to the liquid refrigerant water outlet of the last stage condenser and the liquid refrigerant water inlet of the first stage evaporator.

[0013] The unit is a second-type absorption heat pump, the U-tube inlet section is connected to the evaporator liquid refrigerant water outlet, and the U-tube outlet section is connected to the condenser liquid refrigerant water inlet.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 2. The common vapor penetration problem of absorption machines can be solved by a small change, thereby greatly improving the refrigeration COP of various existing absorption machines. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The present invention proposes a pressure isolation device for preventing steam penetration, which can be used as a pressure isolation device between any two cavities in a lithium bromide absorption heat pump or a refrigeration unit where liquid flows from a high-pressure cavity to a low-pressure cavity. Such as a pressure isolation device between a condenser and an evaporator, a pressure isolation device between a generator and an absorber, etc. The following takes the pressure isolation device between a condenser and an evaporator in a lithium bromide absorption heat pump or a refrigeration unit as an example to illustrate the device principle and effect of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 to Figure 3The embodiment 1 of the present invention shown comprises: a U-tube inlet section 1, a U-tube outlet section 2 and a U-tube cooling section 9, wherein the U-tube inlet section 1, the U-tube cooling section 9 and the U-tube outlet section 2 are connected in sequence, the U-tube inlet section 1 is connected to the liquid refrigerant water outlet of the condenser 4 of the high-pressure cavity, and the U-tube outlet section 2 is connected to the liquid refrigerant water inlet of the evaporator 5 of the low-pressure cavity; the generator 10 is connected to the absorber 11 through a solution pipeline, the condenser 4 is connected to the evaporator through a refrigerant water pipeline, the generator 10 is separated and connected to the condenser 4 through a liquid baffle plate, and the absorber 11 is separated and connected to the evaporator 5 through a liquid baffle plate; the solution tank 12 and the refrigerant water tank 7 are placed at the bottom of the unit.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, during operation, the fluid in the cooling section 9 of the U-tube isolating device is cooled by heat exchange with the fluid in the cooling section 9 of the U-tube. The outlet pressure of the outlet section 2 of the U-tube corresponds to the saturation temperature of a steam. It is only necessary to reduce the temperature of the fluid in the cooling section 9 of the U-tube to the saturation temperature or lower, so that the fluid in the cooling section 9 and the outlet section 2 of the U-tube can flow in a pure liquid state. The fluid density is 3 to 4 times the fluid density after the existing pressure isolating device forms a two-phase flow, so that the pressure isolation capacity of the entire pressure isolating device (U-tube) is increased by 3 to 4 times, thereby avoiding steam penetration of the pressure isolating device (U-tube). For example, when the outlet pressure of the outlet section 2 of the U-tube corresponds to the saturation temperature of steam of 30°C, it is only necessary to reduce the temperature of the fluid in the U-tube to 30°C or lower, so that the tube can be guaranteed to flow in a pure liquid state.

[0032] There are two ways to implement cooling and heat exchange of the fluid in the U-tube cooling section 9, namely, cooling and heat exchange by a stream of low-temperature fluid through an external heat exchanger or direct immersion cooling and heat exchange inside the unit;

[0033] In Example 1, heat exchange of the fluid in the U-tube cooling section 9 is achieved by cooling and exchanging heat with a low-temperature fluid through an external heat exchanger. Specifically, a heat exchanger 3 is installed outside the U-tube cooling section 9 to exchange heat with the low-temperature fluid, wherein the hot side of the heat exchanger 3 is the U-tube cooling section 9, and the low-temperature fluid in the cold side pipe 6 of the heat exchanger connected to the cold side of the heat exchanger 3 is the low-temperature refrigerant water in the cold water tank 7 in the unit, the cooling water of the unit, or other available cold sources;

[0034] In Example 1, the condenser 4 and evaporator 5 connected to the pressure isolation device are the condenser and evaporator in a single-stage, single-stage lithium bromide absorption heat pump or refrigeration unit. The fluid is cooled and cooled in the U-shaped tube cooling section 9 of the pressure isolation device to achieve fluid supercooling, eliminate the two-phase flow in the tube, improve the pressure isolation capacity of the pressure isolation device (U-shaped tube), and thus prevent steam penetration; in the effect test, the steam penetration problem is effectively avoided.
