Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of water chillers, and in particular to a low-temperature water chiller. Background Art

[0002] A low-temperature chiller refers to a chiller with an outlet water temperature lower than or equal to 5°C. Some high-end models can even reach lower temperatures. Low-temperature chillers play an important role in industrial production, scientific research experiments, medical treatment and other fields, but they also have some disadvantages during use.

[0003] However, the existing low-temperature chillers require the use of high-performance materials and technologies, so their manufacturing costs are relatively high, which may pose a certain economic pressure for companies with limited budgets. Low-temperature chillers consume high energy during operation, especially when the cooling water temperature is too low.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the problems of relatively high manufacturing cost, high energy consumption and difficulty in achieving lower water temperature of the above-mentioned low-temperature chiller, a low-temperature chiller can be designed. Summary of the invention

[0007] Preferably, in this refrigeration unit, the compressor inhales low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant, and discharges high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant after compression, which is separated in the oil separator, and the lubricating oil returns to the compressor. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, and the heat medium enters the condenser through the water inlet pipe on the heat source side, and then exchanges heat with the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the condenser and is discharged through the water outlet pipe on the heat source side and is divided into two paths, one entering the oil cooler and the other entering the economizer body, which is divided into two parts. One part is further cooled by throttling in the form of heat expansion to reduce the temperature of the other part and make it supercooled. The stabilized supercooled liquid directly enters the evaporator for refrigeration through the liquid supply valve, and the -25°C medium enters the evaporator, exchanges heat with the supercooled liquid and becomes -30°C and is discharged. The supercooled liquid after heat exchange returns to the economizer body, and the high-temperature lubricating oil of the compressor enters the oil cooler for heat exchange, becomes low-temperature lubricating oil and returns to the compressor for reuse.

[0014] Preferably, the condenser adopts a shell and tube heat exchanger; the economizer body and the oil cooler adopt a plate heat exchanger; the evaporator adopts a dry shell and tube heat exchanger; and the compressor adopts a screw compressor.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
