[0019] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, a heat exchange structure includes a heat exchange substrate 1, a heat exchange element is provided on the first side of the heat exchange substrate 1, the heat exchange element includes an arc-shaped tooth 2, at least two arc-shaped teeth 2 are provided, the two arc-shaped teeth 2 are symmetrically arranged at intervals, and the root of each arc-shaped tooth 2 is arranged on the first side.

[0020] Symmetrically arranged arc teeth 2 are arranged on the first side of the heat exchange substrate 1 to increase the heat exchange area. When a plurality of symmetrically arranged arc teeth 2 are arranged, a semi-closed cavity is formed. The refrigerant boils and exchanges heat in the cavity during evaporation operation, and provides a good condensation area for the gaseous refrigerant during condensation operation.

[0021] In some embodiments, a dispersion member is provided on the outer surface of the arc-shaped teeth 2, and the dispersion member evenly disperses the fluid flowing through the arc-shaped teeth 2. In the evaporation condition, the dispersion member has the effect of evenly distributing the dripping liquid phase refrigerant, thereby enhancing the evaporation effect; and in the condensation condition, after the gas phase refrigerant condenses, the dispersion member makes the condensate evenly distributed, accelerates the heat exchange, and causes the droplets of the condensate to increase and drip more easily.

[0022] Specifically, the dispersing element includes a sharp edge structure 3 for piercing the liquid film. The sharp edge structure 3 can pierce the liquid film and accelerate the dispersion of the droplets.

[0023] In some specific embodiments, the distance between the farthest end of the arc-shaped tooth 2 and the first side surface is 0.3-0.8 mm. The distance between the farthest end of the dispersion element and the first side surface is 0.12-0.72 mm.

[0024] According to another embodiment of the present application, a falling film heat exchanger includes the heat exchange structure as described above.

[0025] In some embodiments, the heat exchange substrate 1 includes a heat exchange tube of the falling film heat exchanger, and the arcuate teeth 2 are arranged on the outer wall of the heat exchange tube; a plurality of arcuate teeth 2 are provided and are evenly distributed along the axial direction and / or circumferential direction of the heat exchange tube.

[0026] A plurality of symmetrically arranged arc-shaped teeth 2 are arranged on the outer wall of the heat exchange tube. When they are evenly distributed along the axial direction and / or circumferential direction of the heat exchange tube, the heat exchange area can be increased, and the heat exchange area can be applied to both evaporation and condensation conditions. The principle is to process the teeth on the outer surface of the heat exchange tube, so that when used as an evaporation tube, an evaporation cavity is formed between the teeth; when used as a condensation tube, the condensation and liquid uniformity effect is improved under the action of the teeth, and the heat exchange is enhanced.

[0027] In some embodiments, when the arc-shaped teeth 2 are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the heat exchange tube, the number of the arc-shaped teeth 2 arranged per inch of length is 35 to 90.

The grooves 5 may include V-shaped grooves 5, serpentine grooves 5, and X-shaped grooves 5, and the protrusions 4 may include pyramid-shaped protrusions 4 and circular protrusions 4, etc., which can increase the gasification core density and effectively enhance the heat exchange efficiency.

[0029] When the falling film heat exchanger is used as an evaporator tube, Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of teeth in the axial direction can form two evaporation chambers, one large and one small, so that the refrigerant can achieve boiling heat exchange during the axial flow of the refrigerant on the outer wall of the tube; the sharp edge structure 3 on the above-mentioned tooth shape makes the liquid refrigerant evenly distributed on the heat exchange tube, thereby enhancing the evaporation effect; when this tube is used as a falling film evaporator tube, it also has a good evaporation effect; when used as a condenser tube, the above-mentioned arc-shaped teeth 2 increase the contact area between the refrigerant and the heat exchange tube, so that sufficient heat exchange can be achieved with the liquid in the tube; the above-mentioned sharp edge structure 3 can pierce the formed liquid film after the refrigerant undergoes a condensation phase change, accelerate the heat exchange of the refrigerant on the tube wall, increase the weight of the droplets, and speed up the separation from the tube wall.

[0030] According to another aspect of the present application, an air conditioner is provided, comprising the heat exchange structure as described above or the falling film heat exchanger as described above.

Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application. The above is only a preferred implementation of the present application.
