Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor technology, and more particularly to a tube-separated liquid separator and a compressor having the same. Background Technology
[0002] The compressor's distributor separates the gas-liquid mixture from the evaporator. The separated gas enters the compressor through the outlet of the gas-liquid separator, while the separated liquid remains at the bottom of the separator. Therefore, the main function of the distributor is to prevent liquid refrigerant from directly entering the compressor, thus preventing excessive liquid slugging.
[0003] The relative positions of the refrigerant inlet and outlet devices, as well as the gas-liquid separation structure inside the distributor, are key factors affecting the distributor's liquid separation efficiency. Generally, the refrigerant inlet device uses a straight pipe, and the refrigerant outlet device uses a steel pipe. Existing technology mainly focuses on improving the filter assembly and the inlet of the steel pipe within the distributor. However, the through-holes on the filter assembly's support have a large facing area with the steel pipe inlet, causing liquid refrigerant to flow directly into the steel pipe through the through-holes. This results in liquid being drawn into the compressor's intake, thus affecting the compressor's reliability.
[0004] Therefore, a distributor is needed that can separate the refrigerant inlet device and the refrigerant outlet device to prevent liquid refrigerant from directly entering the refrigerant outlet device and causing a large amount of liquid slugging in the compressor. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide a pipe-separated liquid distributor that can separate the refrigerant inflow device and the refrigerant outflow device, thereby preventing liquid refrigerant from directly entering the refrigerant outflow device and causing a large amount of liquid slugging in the compressor.
[0006] A tube-type liquid separator includes a first cylinder, in which a separating component is disposed, with a first cavity and a second cavity on both sides of the separating component; the first cavity is connected to a refrigerant inflow device, and the second cavity is connected to a refrigerant outflow device; the refrigerant inflow device is used to supply gas-liquid mixed refrigerant to flow into the first cavity, and gaseous refrigerant flows from the first cavity through the second cavity into the refrigerant outflow device.
[0007] The separator divides the first cylinder into a first chamber and a second chamber, which are adjacent to each other and located on opposite sides of the separator. The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows into the first chamber from the refrigerant inlet device, while the gaseous refrigerant, due to its lower density, remains within the first cylinder. The gaseous refrigerant then flows from the first chamber, bypassing the separator, into the second chamber, and then into the refrigerant outlet device. The liquid refrigerant, due to its higher density, flows downwards under gravity and does not flow into the second chamber, thus achieving gas-liquid separation of the mixed refrigerant. This prevents liquid refrigerant from flowing into the compressor via the refrigerant outlet device, thus preventing liquid carryover in the compressor's intake and improving compressor reliability.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a filter assembly is provided in the first cavity, the filter assembly being used to filter and separate the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant.
[0009] The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows in from the refrigerant inlet device and enters the first chamber. The filter component filters and separates the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the filter assembly includes a support and a filter screen, the support being connected to the filter screen, and the support having flow holes.
[0011] The flow rate of gaseous and liquid refrigerant decreases after passing through the flow holes on the support. Liquid refrigerant enters the lower space of the tube-type separator through the flow holes on the support, preventing liquid refrigerant from directly entering the refrigerant outlet device.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerant inflow device includes a first pipe, the inlet of which faces the filter assembly.
[0013] The first pipe extends into the first cavity, and the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant enters the first cavity from the liquid inlet of the first pipe.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first cylinder is connected to a second cylinder, the second cylinder is located below the first cylinder, and the refrigerant outlet device passes through the second cylinder.
[0015] The length of the second cylinder can be set as needed. The refrigerant outlet device runs through the second cylinder. When the second cylinder is longer, the refrigerant outlet device is also longer, which can make better use of the effective volume of the tube-separated liquid dispenser.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second cylinder is connected to the first cavity, and the second cavity is connected to the second cylinder.
[0017] Liquid refrigerant, with its higher density, flows downwards from the first chamber into the second chamber under the influence of gravity. Gaseous refrigerant, with its lower density, floats on top of the second chamber. It flows out of the first chamber, bypasses the separator, and flows into the second chamber, finally entering the refrigerant outlet device within the second chamber.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerant outlet device includes a second pipe and a third pipe, the first end of the second pipe is connected to the second cavity, the second end of the second pipe is connected to the third pipe, and the second pipe passes through the second cylinder.
[0019] The second pipe is a straight pipe, and the third pipe is a curved pipe. The second pipe is a steel pipe, with its first end extending into the second cavity. The second end of the second pipe is connected to the first end of the third pipe, and the second end of the third pipe is connected to the air inlet of the compressor.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a third cylinder is provided on the side of the second cylinder away from the first cylinder, the outer wall of the second end of the second pipe is connected to the third cylinder, and the inner wall of the second end of the second pipe is connected to the third pipe.
[0021] The third cylinder has an installation hole through which the outer wall of the second pipe is connected to the third cylinder, and the outer wall of the third pipe is connected to the inner wall of the second pipe.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the third cylinder away from the second cylinder is provided with a space for storing liquid refrigerant.
[0023] The liquid refrigerant in the first chamber flows downwards, passes through the second cylinder and flows into the third cylinder, and finally settles in the space where the liquid refrigerant is stored in the third cylinder. The height of the liquid refrigerant stored in this space is less than the height of the first end of the second pipe, so as to prevent the gaseous refrigerant from flowing into the compressor through the second and third pipes and causing wet compression.
[0024] A second objective of this invention is to provide a compressor comprising the tube-separated liquid distributor described in any of the preceding claims.
[0025] In a pipe-type distributor, the refrigerant inlet and outlet devices are separately located in different chambers. A filter assembly separates the gaseous and liquid refrigerant. The gaseous refrigerant flows into the second chamber and then through the refrigerant outlet device into the compressor. The liquid refrigerant flows downwards due to inertia, preventing it from flowing into the compressor through the refrigerant outlet device and causing wet compression.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0027] This invention provides a tube-type liquid separator, comprising a first cylinder with a separating component inside. The separating component has a first chamber and a second chamber on either side. The first chamber is connected to a refrigerant inflow device, and the second chamber is connected to a refrigerant outflow device. The refrigerant inflow device supplies gas-liquid mixed refrigerant to flow into the first chamber, while gaseous refrigerant flows from the first chamber through the second chamber into the refrigerant outflow device. The separating component divides the first cylinder into the first chamber and the second chamber, which are adjacent to each other and located on opposite sides of the separating component. The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows into the first chamber from the refrigerant inflow device. Due to its lower density, the gaseous refrigerant remains in the first cylinder, then flows around the separating component into the second chamber, and finally into the refrigerant outflow device. The liquid refrigerant, due to its higher density, flows downwards under gravity and does not flow into the second chamber, thus achieving gas-liquid separation of the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. This prevents liquid refrigerant from flowing into the compressor via the refrigerant outflow device, preventing liquid carryover in the compressor's intake and improving compressor reliability.

[0038] Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tube-type liquid separator, including a first cylinder 1, a separating component 2 disposed inside the first cylinder 1, and a first cavity 3 and a second cavity 4 on both sides of the separating component 2; the first cavity 3 is connected to a refrigerant inflow device, and the second cavity 4 is connected to a refrigerant outflow device; the refrigerant inflow device is used to supply gas-liquid mixed refrigerant to flow into the first cavity 3, and gaseous refrigerant flows from the first cavity 3 through the second cavity 4 into the refrigerant outflow device.
[0041] The top of the first cylinder 1 is connected to a refrigerant inflow device. The first end of the refrigerant inflow device is connected to the evaporator, and the second end of the refrigerant inflow device is provided with a liquid inlet located inside the first cavity 3.
[0042] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the dividing component 2 divides the interior of the first cylinder 1 into a first cavity 3 and a second cavity 4. The height of the first cavity 3 and the second cavity 4 is the same as the height of the first cylinder 1, and the sum of the widths of the first cavity 3 and the second cavity 4 is equal to the width of the first cylinder 1. Preferably, the width of the first cavity 3 is the same as the width of the second cavity 4, and the width of the first cavity 3 is equal to half the width of the first cylinder 1.
[0043] The refrigerant outlet device extends into the second chamber 4. The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant includes both gaseous and liquid refrigerant, which flows into the first chamber 3 from the refrigerant inlet device. The second chamber 4 is arranged parallel to the first chamber 3. The liquid refrigerant, with its higher density, flows downwards under gravity and will not flow into the second chamber 4, or only a small portion will. The gaseous refrigerant, with its lower density, can bypass the separator 22 and enter the second chamber 4. The gaseous refrigerant entering the second chamber 4 flows into the refrigerant outlet device and finally into the compressor.
[0044] A separator 2 is installed inside the first cylinder 1 to separate the refrigerant inflow device and the refrigerant outflow device, so that the refrigerant inflow device and the refrigerant outflow device are staggered. This can prevent liquid refrigerant from flowing into the compressor through the refrigerant outflow device and avoid the phenomenon of a large amount of liquid slugging in the compressor.
[0045] This embodiment provides a tube-type liquid separator, including a first cylinder 1, within which a separating component 2 is disposed. The separating component 2 has a first cavity 3 and a second cavity 4 on its two sides. The first cavity 3 is connected to a refrigerant inflow device, and the second cavity 4 is connected to a refrigerant outflow device. The refrigerant inflow device supplies gas-liquid mixed refrigerant to flow into the first cavity 3, while gaseous refrigerant flows from the first cavity 3 through the second cavity 4 into the refrigerant outflow device. The separating component 2 divides the first cylinder 1 into the first cavity 3 and the second cavity 4, which are adjacent to each other and located on opposite sides of the separating component 2. The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows from the refrigerant inflow device into the first cavity 3, while the gaseous refrigerant, due to its lower density, remains within the first cylinder 1. The gaseous refrigerant flows from the first cavity 3, bypassing the separating component 2, into the second cavity 4, and then into the refrigerant outflow device. Because of its higher density, the liquid refrigerant flows downward under the influence of gravity and will not flow into the second chamber 4. This achieves gas-liquid separation of the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant, prevents the liquid refrigerant from flowing into the compressor through the refrigerant outlet device, prevents the compressor from sucking in liquid, and improves the reliability of the compressor.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tube-type liquid separator, including a first cylinder 1, a separating component 2 disposed inside the first cylinder 1, and a first cavity 3 and a second cavity 4 on both sides of the separating component 2; the first cavity 3 is connected to a refrigerant inflow device, and the second cavity 4 is connected to a refrigerant outflow device; the refrigerant inflow device is used to supply gas-liquid mixed refrigerant to flow into the first cavity 3, and gaseous refrigerant flows from the first cavity 3 through the second cavity 4 into the refrigerant outflow device.
[0048] like Figures 6-7As shown, a filter assembly 8 is provided inside the first cavity 3, and the filter assembly 8 is used to filter and separate the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant.
[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, the filter assembly 8 includes a support 9 and a filter screen 10, with the support 9 connected to the filter screen 10. Figure 5 The center of the middle support 9 has a first protrusion 26, which mainly serves to divert traffic. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the bracket 9 has flow holes 12, and the first protrusion 26 diverts the refrigerant passing through the filter screen 10, so that the refrigerant flows more evenly into the multiple flow holes 12 around the first protrusion 26.
[0050] The refrigerant inflow device includes a first pipe 5, the inlet of which faces the filter assembly 8.
[0051] The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows into the first pipe 5 of the refrigerant inflow device and first enters the first chamber 3. After being filtered and separated by the filter component 8, the liquid refrigerant enters the lower space of the pipe-separated liquid distributor through the flow hole 12 on the support 9, thus preventing the liquid refrigerant from directly entering the refrigerant outflow device.
[0052] According to the fluid continuity equation, the area of the flow hole 12 on the support 9 multiplied by the average flow velocity of the refrigerant is equal to the product of the cross-sectional area of a certain section below the support 9 and the average flow velocity. However, the cross-sectional area of the flow hole 12 is smaller than the area of the lower section of the support 9, and the average flow velocity of the flow hole 12 at the support 9 is greater than the average flow velocity of the lower section of the support 9. Therefore, after the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant is filtered by the filter assembly 8, the average flow velocity will decrease.
[0053] The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows through the filter assembly 8. Under the filtering and separation action of the filter assembly 8, the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant changes. Due to inertia, the liquid refrigerant directly enters the bottom of the tube-separated distributor, while the gaseous refrigerant remains in the upper part of the tube-separated distributor. More of the gaseous refrigerant flows into the compressor for compression through the refrigerant outlet device, while more of the liquid refrigerant remains at the bottom of the distributor, thus better separating the gaseous and liquid refrigerants. The separated gaseous refrigerant flows out from the first chamber 3, bypasses the separator assembly 2, and flows into the refrigerant outlet device in the second chamber 4, preventing the liquid refrigerant from flowing into the compressor through the refrigerant outlet device and preventing wet compression of the compressor.
[0054] Preferably, the filter screen 10 assembly further includes a pressure ring 11, which fixes the filter screen 10 to the bracket 9. The bracket 9 has seven flow holes 12, one of which is located in the middle of the bracket 9, and the other six flow holes 12 are arranged circumferentially on the bracket 9.
[0055] In this embodiment, a filter assembly 8 is provided in the first cavity 3. The filter assembly 8 is used to filter and separate the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. The filter assembly 8 includes a support 9 and a filter screen 10. The support 9 is connected to the filter screen 10, and a flow hole 12 is provided on the support 9. The refrigerant inflow device includes a first pipe 5, and the liquid inlet of the first pipe 5 faces the filter assembly 8. The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows into the first cavity 3 from the refrigerant inflow device, and the filter assembly 8 filters and separates the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant. After the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant passes through the flow hole 12 on the support 9, the flow rate changes. Under the action of inertia, the liquid refrigerant enters the bottom of the tube-type separator, while the gaseous refrigerant remains in the upper part of the tube-type separator, thereby better separating the gaseous and liquid refrigerant and avoiding the liquid refrigerant from flowing directly into the compressor and causing wet compression of the compressor.
[0056] Example 3
[0057] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tube-type liquid separator, including a first cylinder 1, a separating component 2 disposed inside the first cylinder 1, and a first cavity 3 and a second cavity 4 on both sides of the separating component 2; the first cavity 3 is connected to a refrigerant inflow device, and the second cavity 4 is connected to a refrigerant outflow device; the refrigerant inflow device is used to supply gas-liquid mixed refrigerant to flow into the first cavity 3, and gaseous refrigerant flows from the first cavity 3 through the second cavity 4 into the refrigerant outflow device.
[0058] The first cylinder 1 is connected to a second cylinder 13, the second cylinder 13 is located below the first cylinder 1, and the refrigerant outlet device passes through the second cylinder 13.
[0059] The second cylinder 13 is connected to the first cavity 3, and the second cavity 4 is connected to the second cylinder 13.
[0060] The refrigerant outlet device includes a second pipe 6 and a third pipe 7. The first end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the second cavity 4, and the second end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the third pipe 7. The second pipe 6 passes through the second cylinder 13.
[0061] The outer wall of the first cylinder 1 is connected to the inner wall of the second cylinder 13. A portion of the first cylinder 1 is located inside the second cylinder 13, and another portion is located above the second cylinder 13. The first cavity 3 and the second cavity 4 are respectively connected to the second cylinder 13. The gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows into the first cavity 3 from the refrigerant inflow device. The liquid refrigerant has a higher density and flows downward into the second cylinder 13 under the action of gravity. The gaseous refrigerant has a lower density and floats on the upper part of the second cylinder 13. The gaseous refrigerant flows out of the first cavity 3, bypasses the separator 2, flows into the second cavity 4, and finally flows into the refrigerant outflow device in the second cavity 4.
[0062] The length of the second cylinder 13 can be set as needed. The refrigerant outlet device runs through the second cylinder 13. When the second cylinder 13 is longer, the refrigerant outlet device is also longer, which can make better use of the effective volume of the tube-separated liquid dispenser.
[0063] The refrigerant inflow device includes a first pipe 5. In this embodiment, the first pipe 5 and the second pipe 6 are both straight pipes, and the third pipe 7 is a curved pipe. Preferably, the second pipe 6 is a steel pipe. The first end of the second pipe 6 extends into the second cavity 4, and the second end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the first end of the third pipe 7. The second end of the third pipe 7 is connected to the air inlet of the compressor.
[0064] In this embodiment, a first cylinder 1 is connected to a second cylinder 13, which is located below the first cylinder 1. The length of the second cylinder 13 can be set as needed. The refrigerant outlet device passes through the second cylinder 13. When the second cylinder 13 is longer, the refrigerant outlet device is also longer, which allows for better utilization of the effective volume of the pipe-separated liquid distributor. The refrigerant outlet device includes a second pipe 6 and a third pipe 7. The first end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the second cavity 4, and the second end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the third pipe 7. The second pipe 6 passes through the second cylinder 13. The gaseous refrigerant in the second cavity 4 flows in from the first end of the second pipe 6, flows through the second end of the second pipe 6 into the third pipe 7, and finally flows into the compressor from the third pipe 7.
[0065] Example 4
[0066] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tube-type liquid separator, including a first cylinder 1, a separating component 2 disposed inside the first cylinder 1, and a first cavity 3 and a second cavity 4 on both sides of the separating component 2; the first cavity 3 is connected to a refrigerant inflow device, and the second cavity 4 is connected to a refrigerant outflow device; the refrigerant inflow device is used to supply gas-liquid mixed refrigerant to flow into the first cavity 3, and gaseous refrigerant flows from the first cavity 3 through the second cavity 4 into the refrigerant outflow device.
[0067] The first cylinder 1 is connected to a second cylinder 13, the second cylinder 13 is located below the first cylinder 1, and the refrigerant outlet device passes through the second cylinder 13.
[0068] The refrigerant outlet device includes a second pipe 6 and a third pipe 7. The first end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the second cavity 4, and the second end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the third pipe 7. The second pipe 6 passes through the second cylinder 13.
[0069] A third cylinder 14 is provided on the side of the second cylinder 13 away from the first cylinder 1. The outer wall of the second end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the third cylinder 14, and the inner wall of the second end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the third pipe 7.
[0070] The third cylinder 14 has a space for storing liquid refrigerant at the end away from the second cylinder 13.
[0071] The third cylinder 14 has mounting holes, and the mounting portions of the second pipe 6 and the third pipe 7 are aligned with these mounting holes. Both the mounting portions of the second pipe 6 and the third pipe 7 can be mounting holes. After aligning the mounting holes of the second pipe 6, the third pipe 7, and the third cylinder 14, screws are used to fix the third pipe 7 to the inner wall of the second pipe 6, and the outer wall of the second pipe 6 is connected to the side wall of the third cylinder 14.
[0072] Optionally, a groove is formed on the inner wall of the second end of the second pipe 6, and the third pipe 7 is inserted into the groove on the inner wall of the second pipe 6. A second protrusion is provided at the second end of the second pipe 6, and the second protrusion is inserted into the mounting hole of the third cylinder 14.
[0073] The tube-type liquid separator functions as a gas-liquid separator, liquid storage, filtration, and pressure stabilization device. The third cylinder 14 consists of U-shaped shells arranged on both sides of the third pipe 7. The end of the third cylinder 14 opposite the refrigerant inflow device has a space for storing liquid refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant in the first chamber 3 flows downwards, through the second cylinder 13, into the third cylinder 14, and finally settles in the liquid refrigerant storage space of the third cylinder 14. The height of the liquid refrigerant stored in this space is less than the height of the first end of the second pipe 6, preventing gaseous refrigerant from flowing into the compressor through the second pipe 6 and the third pipe 7, thus preventing wet compression.
[0074] In this embodiment, a third cylinder 14 is provided on the side of the second cylinder 13 away from the first cylinder 1.
