Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of refrigeration technology and equipment technology, and relates to a plate-type liquid distribution structure and a microchannel heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] Microchannel heat exchangers are high-efficiency, compact heat exchangers, mainly composed of flat tubes with multiple microchannels and manifolds for flow distribution and convergence. At the evaporator inlet, the refrigerant is typically in a gas-liquid two-phase state. When the liquid distribution in the microchannel heat exchanger is uneven, branches with less liquid will experience dry evaporation and superheating, while branches with more liquid will experience liquid carryover at the outlet, thus hindering the heat exchanger's capacity. To improve the performance of microchannel heat exchangers, a reasonable liquid distribution system is essential, and the design of the liquid distribution structure often needs to consider multiple factors such as complexity, manufacturing difficulty, and production cost.
[0003] The existing disadvantages of the liquid separation structure of microchannel heat exchangers are:

Using external distributors results in a complex structure, higher cost, and is not conducive to compressing space and forming an integrated liquid distribution structure.

[0049] Example 1
[0050] This embodiment provides a plate-type liquid distribution structure for achieving four-way liquid distribution. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-3 It includes inlet pipe 1, liquid distribution plate 2, manifold 3 and liquid distribution flat tube 4.

[0053] The internal channels include a vertically arranged first channel, the middle of which is connected to the inlet pipe 1 through an inlet hole 201; the upper end of the first channel leads into the middle of a second channel, which is horizontally arranged, and its two ends are respectively connected to a third vertical channel and a fourth vertical channel, the outlets of which are respectively connected to the hollow channels of the third and fourth external channels.

For a liquid distribution unit, the liquid distribution plate 2 has one inlet hole 201 and four outlet holes, and completes four-way liquid distribution through two bi-divisions within its internal channel.
[0056] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 The refrigerant enters the internal channel of the distributor plate 2 through inlet hole 201. One stream flows upward along the upper half of the first channel, splits into two streams at the top, entering the left and right halves of the second channel respectively, and then flowing downward into the third and fourth vertical channels respectively, exiting from channel outlet 202. The other stream flows downward along the lower half of the first channel, splits into two streams at the bottom, entering the left and right halves of the third channel respectively, and then flowing upward into the first and second vertical channels respectively, exiting from channel outlet 202. The local resistance at each split point is the same. Each channel outlet 202 connects to the external channel 203, and finally flows out from the outlet hole 204 of the external channel 203, completing the liquid separation.
[0057] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, see [link to previous document]. Figure 2 The first external channel, the second external channel, the third external channel and the fourth external channel are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and the outlet holes of the first external channel, the second external channel, the third external channel and the fourth external channel are equidistant in the vertical direction.
[0058] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, see [link to previous document]. Figure 3 The inlet hole 301 penetrates the main body structure of the manifold 3. The flat tube groove 302 is connected to the inlet hole 301. One end of the inlet hole 301 is connected to the outlet hole of the external channel, and the other end of the inlet hole 301 is blocked by the side plate 303.
[0059] Example 2
[0060] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 A plate-type liquid distribution structure for achieving 8-way liquid distribution includes an inlet pipe 1, a liquid distribution plate 2, a manifold 3, a liquid distribution flat tube 4, and a flat tube 5.
[0061] The liquid distribution plate 2 is provided with several liquid distribution units. Each liquid distribution unit includes an inlet hole 201, an internal channel and eight external channels 203; the internal channels are located inside the liquid distribution plate 2, and the inlet hole 201 and the external channels are located on the front and back of the liquid distribution plate 2, respectively.
[0062] The internal channels include a vertically arranged first channel, the middle of which is connected to the inlet pipe 1 through an inlet hole 201; the upper end of the first channel leads into the middle of the second channel, which is horizontally arranged, and the two ends of the second channel are respectively connected to a third vertical channel and a fourth vertical channel; the bottom end of the third vertical channel splits into two paths that enter one vertical channel respectively, the channel outlet of one vertical channel is connected to the first external hollow channel, and the channel outlet of the other vertical channel is connected to the hollow channel of the third external channel; the bottom end of the fourth vertical channel splits into two paths that enter one vertical channel respectively, the channel outlet of one vertical channel is connected to the hollow channel of the second external channel, and the channel outlet of the other vertical channel is connected to the hollow channel of the fourth external channel.
[0063] The lower end of the first channel leads into the middle of the third channel. The third channel is horizontally positioned, and its two ends connect to the first and second vertical channels, respectively. The bottom end of the first vertical channel splits into two paths, each entering a separate vertical channel. The outlet of one vertical channel connects to the hollow channel of the seventh external channel, and the outlet of the other vertical channel connects to the hollow channel of the fifth external channel. Similarly, the bottom end of the second vertical channel splits into two paths, each entering a separate vertical channel. The outlet of one vertical channel connects to the hollow channel of the sixth external channel, and the outlet of the other vertical channel connects to the hollow channel of the eighth external channel. The first to eighth external channels are arranged vertically from top to bottom, and their outlet holes are equidistant in the vertical direction.
[0064] The manifold 3 includes a body structure, on which a flat tube groove 302 is provided; one end of the flat tube groove 302 is provided with an inlet hole 301; the outlets of the first external channel to the eighth external channel are respectively connected to an inlet hole 301 of the manifold 3; the liquid separating flat tube 4 is provided with a plurality of microchannels inside, and one end of the liquid separating flat tube 4 is inserted into the flat tube groove 302, and its microchannels are connected to the inside of the flat tube groove 302.
[0065] The separation plate in this embodiment has a similar structure to the separation plate in the previous embodiment. Figure 2 The arrows in the right view of (b) indicate the direction of refrigerant flow, and the various channels are separated from each other. The external channel 203 is a hollow aluminum block with holes at both ends as the inlet and outlet of the channel. For a liquid distribution unit, the liquid distribution plate 2 has one inlet hole 201 and eight outlet holes, and completes eight-way liquid distribution through three dichotomies within its internal channel.
[0066] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, see [link to example]. Figure 3The inlet hole 301 penetrates the main body structure of the manifold 3. The flat tube groove 302 is connected to the inlet hole 301. One end of the inlet hole 301 is connected to the outlet hole of the external channel, and the other end of the inlet hole 301 is blocked by the side plate 303.
[0067] Example 3
[0068] Based on Examples 1 and 2, the plate-type liquid separation structure further includes a flat tube 5.
[0069] See Figure 4 The microchannels of the separating flat tube 4 are symmetrical about the central axis, and the two symmetrical microchannels are connected. A through hole is provided on the central axis of the separating flat tube 4. The flat tube 5 has the same structure as the separating flat tube 4; the through hole on the flat tube 5 is connected to one of the through holes of the separating flat tube 4.
[0070] After the refrigerant enters the manifold 3, it is distributed into the microchannels of the distribution flat tube 4 inserted into the flat tube groove 302. Uneven distribution of the refrigerant occurs between the microchannels as it enters. [This is in response to...] Figure 4 The inlet flow rate is linearly distributed. The flow channels of the distributor flat tube 4 are symmetrical about the central axis and connected left and right. That is, the leftmost microchannel is connected to the rightmost microchannel, the next leftmost microchannel is connected to the next rightmost microchannel, and so on. The outlet hole 401 of the distributor flat tube 4 is located on the central axis. Therefore, when the refrigerant flows out of the outlet hole 401, the refrigerant in the leftmost microchannel and the rightmost microchannel mixes with each other, and the other microchannels are similar.
[0071] The inlet hole 501 of the flat tube 5 corresponds one-to-one with the outlet hole 401 of the dispensing flat tube 4. After the refrigerant enters the inlet hole 501, it is divided into two streams, which enter the left and right microchannels respectively. Therefore, the refrigerant in the two microchannels is first mixed and then evenly distributed. When the inlet flow rate is linearly distributed, the leftmost microchannel is connected to the rightmost microchannel, so that the channel with the highest flow rate and the channel with the lowest flow rate mix with each other, complete the complementarity, and then redistribute the refrigerant, ultimately achieving uniform liquid distribution between the microchannels.
[0072] Example 4
[0073] Based on Examples 1 and 2, the plate-type liquid separation structure further includes a flat tube 5.
[0074] See Figure 5 The microchannel of the liquid separating flat tube 4 is divided into a symmetrical left half and a right half along the central axis; the microchannel of the left half is symmetrical about the central axis and is connected to the left and right sides, and the two symmetrical microchannels are connected to each other, and a through hole is provided on the central axis; the flat tube 5 has the same structure as the liquid separating flat tube 4; the through hole on the flat tube 5 is connected to one through hole of the liquid separating flat tube 4.
[0075] This structure addresses the symmetrical distribution of flow rate at the microchannel inlet, including both a symmetrical distribution with higher flow rate in the center and lower flow rate on both sides, and a symmetrical distribution with lower flow rate in the center and higher flow rate on both sides. The outlet orifice 401 of the dispensing flat tube 4 is divided into two rows. The microchannel is divided into left and right parts along the central axis. In the left half, the leftmost microchannel is connected to the rightmost microchannel, the next leftmost microchannel is connected to the next rightmost microchannel, and so on. In the right half, the leftmost microchannel is connected to the rightmost microchannel, the next leftmost microchannel is connected to the next rightmost microchannel, and so on.
[0076] The inlet hole 501 of the flat tube 5 corresponds one-to-one with the outlet hole 401 of the dispensing flat tube 4. After the refrigerant enters the inlet hole 501, it is divided into two streams, which enter the left and right microchannels respectively. Thus, the refrigerant in the two microchannels first mixes and then is evenly distributed. When the inlet flow rate is symmetrically distributed, the channel with the highest and lowest flow rate in the left half mixes with each other, complements each other, and then redistributes; similarly, the channel with the highest and lowest flow rate in the right half mixes with each other, complements each other, and then redistributes, ultimately achieving uniform liquid distribution between the microchannels.
[0077] Similarly, the approach provided by this invention can be used to design a system that evenly distributes the flow entering from the inlet pipe. n The structure of the road will not be listed here.

[0080] It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that, without conflict, the aforementioned advantageous technical features can be freely combined and superimposed.
[0081] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
