Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of refrigeration technology and equipment, and particularly relates to a solid sleeve liquid separation structure and a microchannel heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] A microchannel heat exchanger (MCHE) is a highly efficient and compact heat exchanger primarily composed of flat tubes with multiple microchannels and headers for diverting and converging flows. At the evaporator inlet, the refrigerant is typically in a two-phase gas-liquid state. When the MCH's liquid separation is uneven, branches with less liquid separation will experience dry evaporation and overheating, while branches with more liquid separation will experience liquid carryover at the outlet, hindering the MCH's heat transfer capacity. To improve the performance of MCHs, proper liquid separation is essential. The design of the liquid separation structure must consider multiple factors, including complexity, process difficulty, and production cost.
[0003] There are many improvements on the liquid separation structure of microchannel heat exchangers. Different structures have different characteristics and advantages and disadvantages. There are generally the following disadvantages:
[0004] 1. Traditional external distributors are mature in copper tube heat exchangers, but microchannel heat exchangers have a large number of flat tubes. The use of external distributors makes the structure complex and the cost high, which is not conducive to compressing space and forming an integrated liquid separation structure.
[0005] 2. Setting up a liquid separation structure inside the manifold of the microchannel heat exchanger facilitates integrated flow diversion, but the internal space of the manifold is small, and the complex liquid separation structure is difficult to apply due to process and cost issues.
[0006] 3. For the liquid separation structure in the manifold, the liquid separation uniformity of each branch is mainly affected by the local resistance, the resistance along the way, and the gravity. Theoretically, when the three effects of each branch are equal, completely uniform liquid separation can be achieved, but it is difficult to control the three effects to be exactly the same in the existing structure. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The present invention proposes a solid sleeve liquid separation structure and a microchannel heat exchanger, which mainly adopts solid sleeves to be nested to form a liquid separation flow path. The two-branch structure and the arrangement of the flow path are utilized to make the local resistance effect, along-the-path resistance effect, and gravity effect of each branch as similar as possible, thereby achieving better liquid separation uniformity.
[0008] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above problems is: a solid sleeve liquid separation structure, which is special in that:
[0009] It includes inlet pipe, outer hollow pipe, connecting clamp block and header;

[0015] The first channel is symmetrical about the center of the inlet, while the two connecting channels and the two second channels are symmetrical about the center of the inlet hole. This ensures that the four flow paths are of equal length and have the same resistance along the path. The first channel is arranged horizontally at the connection with the inlet hole, and the second channel is arranged horizontally at the connection with the connecting channel, ensuring that the effects of gravity during flow diversion are uniform. The two-path arrangement of the inner solid tube ensures that the resistance along the path, local resistance, and gravity effects are as similar as possible for each flow path, thereby achieving excellent liquid separation uniformity.
[0016] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the inlet hole is greater than or equal to the flow cross-sectional area of the first channel, the flow cross-sectional area of the first channel is greater than or equal to the flow cross-sectional area of the second channel, and the flow cross-sectional area of the second channel is greater than or equal to the flow cross-sectional area of the outlet hole, thereby ensuring that the flow rate after diversion matches the flow area.
[0017] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the inner solid tube is provided with a first channel, six connecting channels, two second channels, four third channels, and eight channel ports;
[0018] The first channel includes a horizontal channel, the middle part of the horizontal channel is the inlet of the diversion channel, the first channel is symmetrical about the center of the inlet, and the two ends of the first channel are respectively connected to the inlet of a connecting channel, the second channel also includes a horizontal channel, the outlet of the connecting channel is connected to the center position of the horizontal channel of the second channel, the second channel is centrally symmetrical about the center position, and the connecting channel and the second channel are perpendicular to each other at the connection; the ends of the second channel are respectively connected to the inlet of a connecting channel, the third channel also includes a horizontal channel, the outlet of the connecting channel is connected to the center position of the horizontal channel of the third channel, the third channel is centrally symmetrical about the center position, and the connecting channel and the third channel are perpendicular to each other at the connection; each third channel corresponds to two channel ports, one of which is directly connected to the outlet hole, and the other channel port is connected to the outlet hole through a through hole on the inner solid tube.

The first channel is arranged horizontally at its connection to the inlet hole, the second channel is arranged horizontally at its connection to the bifurcated outlet, and the third channel is arranged horizontally at its connection to the bifurcated outlet, ensuring uniform gravity during flow diversion.
