Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration and heat exchange equipment, and particularly to a self-opening and closing anti-freezing and heat-insulating refrigeration finned tube heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] The finned tube heat exchanger is one of the earliest and most successful discoveries in the process of improving tube heat exchange. This method is still the most widely used among all various methods for enhancing heat transfer on tube heat transfer surfaces. It is not only applicable to single finned tube heat exchangers, which are widely used in power, chemical, petrochemical, air conditioning engineering, and refrigeration engineering. For example, the evaporators of cooling fans and frost-free refrigerators used in refrigeration engineering. It is not only applicable to the flow of single-phase fluids, but also has great value for phase change heat transfer. Most finned tube heat exchangers used for clean gases adopt new and efficient fin surface structures, achieving remarkable heat transfer enhancement effects.

[0003] When the refrigeration finned tube heat exchanger works under the environmental conditions of a low-temperature cold room, usually one side of the inlet and outlet air of the finned tube heat exchanger will be directly exposed to the cold room space. When the refrigeration operation stops and there is no ventilation and heat exchange, the exposed side is still in direct contact with the air in the cold room. The water vapor emitted by the items in the cold room and the water vapor invaded when the door is opened will still continue to expose on the fins, resulting in increased frosting, increasing the frosting amount, increasing the heat transfer resistance and affecting the heat exchange efficiency, and increasing the frequency of defrosting of the heat exchanger. When the refrigeration finned tube heat exchanger is defrosting, an external heat source needs to be provided to melt the frost on the surface of the finned tube. However, the exposed side of the heat exchanger will directly dissipate a large amount of heat to the cold room air, causing the temperature of the cold room to rise and fluctuate. The heat load increases, and there is also a risk of freezing during the process of the water film and water droplets formed by defrosting falling along the fin surface due to heat loss. This will make defrosting difficult, extend the defrosting time, and the heat source needs to provide more heat, resulting in a large amount of energy waste.

[0004] Currently, it is usually adopted to install an electric, hydraulic or other forms of mechanical structure on the exposed side of the finned tube heat exchanger to drive and control a baffle structure, or to increase a static pressure box and assemble an electric air valve mechanism to solve the problems of increased frosting and serious heat loss during the defrosting process of the cold finned tube heat exchanger mentioned above. However, these methods require additional energy, increase costs too much, the mechanical structure and control mechanism are complex, and the reliability is very poor under the harsh conditions of a low-temperature cold room, and regular maintenance and repair are required, bringing great inconvenience and trouble to users. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (I) Technical Problems to be Solved

[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a self-opening and closing anti-freezing, heat-insulating and refrigerating finned tube heat exchanger, which solves the problems that when the heat exchanger does not refrigerate, frost forms on the surface of the finned tubes, the defrosting frequency increases, serious heat loss occurs during defrosting, the defrosting time is prolonged, the defrosting water freezes, the heat source for defrosting is wasted, the heat in the cold storage room fluctuates and increases, and energy waste is not conducive to energy conservation and consumption reduction.

Air inlets are symmetrically arranged on one side wall of the housing, fans are respectively arranged inside the two air inlets, and the two fans are respectively fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the two air inlets.

[0009] Preferably, protective nets are respectively arranged on the inner side walls of the two air inlets near the edges, and the side walls of the two protective nets are respectively fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the two air inlets.

[0010] Preferably, handles are respectively arranged at the centers of the front and rear side walls of the housing, and rubber pads are respectively arranged on the inner side walls of the two handles.

[0011] Preferably, three connecting plates are arranged on the upper end surface of the housing, the three connecting plates are all connected to the upper end surface of the housing by welding, and mounting holes are respectively arranged at the centers of the upper end surfaces of the three connecting plates near the two edges.

[0012] Preferably, the support rods and the round holes are connected by threads.

[0013] Preferably, air curtains are symmetrically arranged on the other side wall of the housing.

[0014] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the moving hole is T-shaped, and the size of the moving hole is larger than the size of the rotating connector.

[0015] Preferably, the material of the housing is aluminized zinc plate, and the surface is coated with an anti-static coating.

[0016] Working principle: A plurality of round holes 12 are respectively arranged on both side edges of one side wall of the finned tube heat exchanger core 10. Support rods 14 are respectively arranged inside the plurality of round holes 12. The support rods 14 and the round holes 12 are connected by threads, which is convenient for disassembling and assembling the support rods 14. Moving holes 16 are respectively arranged on the side walls of the plurality of support rods 14. An antifreeze and heat insulation diaphragm 13 is arranged between every two horizontally arranged support rods 14. The antifreeze and heat insulation diaphragm 13 is a thin diaphragm made of a low-density material. Rotating connectors 15 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the antifreeze and heat insulation diaphragm 13. The rotating connectors 15 at the front and rear ends of the antifreeze and heat insulation diaphragm 13 are respectively rotatably connected in the moving holes 16 on the side walls of the support rods 14 on both sides.

It is a barrier layer between the internal space of the heat exchanger and the external air, a relatively enclosed space. During defrosting, a local small environmental space is formed inside the refrigerating finned tube heat exchanger. There is no direct heat loss, which can quickly raise the temperature of the internal heat exchanger core and accelerate the melting of the frost layer, and can prevent the melted water from freezing. In this way, the defrosting process time is reduced, the influence on the temperature of the cold room air is reduced, and the energy-saving purpose is achieved. When the refrigerating finned tube heat exchanger core 10 is performing refrigeration work, that is, when there is ventilation, no additional mechanical structure and energy are required. The antifreeze and heat insulation diaphragm 13 automatically opens by using the pressure difference energy of the air flow during ventilation, allowing the air to circulate for heat exchange, reducing the use cost and having a simple structure.

[0017] (III) Beneficial effects

[0018] The present invention provides a self-opening and closing antifreeze and heat insulation refrigerating finned tube heat exchanger. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. In the present invention, a heat insulation curtain is formed by arranging multiple layers of thin diaphragms made of low-density materials in an overlapping manner from head to tail on the exposed side of the chip of the refrigeration finned tube heat exchanger. When the refrigeration finned tube heat exchanger does not operate for refrigeration, i.e., without ventilation, the multiple layers of thin diaphragms fall freely under the action of gravity to form a relatively enclosed space with other parts of the housing of the refrigeration finned tube heat exchanger, which is relatively isolated from the cold room air, reducing the condensation of water vapor in the air on the surface of the finned tubes into frost. It is a barrier layer between the internal space of the heat exchanger and the external air, a relatively enclosed space. During defrosting, a local small environmental space is formed inside the refrigeration finned tube heat exchanger. There is no direct heat loss, which can quickly increase the temperature of the internal heat exchanger core, accelerate the melting of the frost layer, and prevent the melted water from freezing. In this way, the defrosting process time is reduced, the influence on the temperature of the cold room air is alleviated, and the energy-saving purpose is achieved.

[0020] 2. In the present invention, when the refrigeration finned tube heat exchanger is operating for refrigeration, i.e., under ventilation conditions, without additional mechanical structures and energy, the thin diaphragms are automatically opened by using the pressure difference energy of the air flow during ventilation to allow air circulation for heat exchange, reducing the use cost and having a simple structure.
