Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microchannel heat exchangers, and more specifically, relates to a uniform flow microchannel heat exchanger system and an assembly method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous innovation of energy, power systems and technologies, the requirements for the key role of heat transfer in the system are gradually increasing. Traditional heat exchangers cannot meet the comprehensive design requirements of high temperature, high pressure, compactness, lightweight and reliability. As a highly efficient and compact microchannel heat exchanger, printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) has been widely used for its high compactness, high temperature and high pressure resistance. In the field of PCHE, a lot of research has been carried out on channel structure and flow medium, but these studies are based on the premise that the fluid in each channel is evenly distributed. However, there are many microchannels in PCHE. At present, there is a common problem of uneven flow distribution in the use of PCHE. The peripheral channels cannot be used, resulting in a decrease in the overall heat transfer efficiency. The central channel has a large pressure drop due to the high flow rate, which causes the performance of the PCHE heat exchanger to decrease. Therefore, a method for improving the internal rectification effect of printed circuit board heat exchanger is proposed, which is of great significance to improve the heat transfer efficiency.

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, people have modified the external structure of PCHE, changed the structure of the inlet head into an arc type, or modified the inlet model or designed the placement position. In addition, Chinese invention patent CN112097566B discloses a rectifier structure of a printed circuit board heat exchanger, which belongs to the field of engineering application technology of heat transfer, and specifically relates to a heat exchanger rectifier device. It solves the problem that the existing printed circuit board heat exchanger has uneven inlet flow distribution, resulting in low actual heat exchange efficiency. The rectifier structure of the present invention includes a square frame, and the square frame is clamped in the square channel inlet of the heat exchanger head; an impeller is fixed in the square frame, and the impeller includes an inner ring, an outer ring and a plurality of curved blades, and the plurality of curved blades are evenly spaced between the inner ring and the outer ring, and the outer ring is inscribed in the square frame to form an integral part.

[0004] The above technical methods have improved the overall performance of the heat exchanger to a certain extent, but there are still the following technical problems or improvement directions: (1) This modification of the external structure of PCHE destroys the original structure of PCHE, and the uniformity enhancement brought about is very limited, especially when the flow rate of the pipe is too large, a recirculation zone will be formed in the sudden expansion part. According to our research, although the structure of the inlet head is changed to an arc type, a recirculation zone will still be generated in the sudden expansion part, which cannot be solved by changing the inlet model structure; (2) Modification of the inlet model or design of the placement position will affect the installation conditions of PCHE. There are certain requirements, which greatly limits the use of PCHE; (3) Patent technology CN112097566B adopts a built-in impeller rectification method. Compared with the shape modification of the original structure such as the external structure or the placement position, this method has significantly improved the rectification effect. However, on the one hand, it only discloses the shape and size of the impeller, but does not disclose the overall size of the printed circuit board heat exchanger at the same time, which makes it difficult for technical personnel in this field to implement and apply it; on the other hand, the patent technology does not provide a detailed impeller assembly plan, resulting in a large technical defect in the integrated integration of the impeller rectifier.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 18 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the uniform flow microchannel heat exchanger system comprises:

[0063] A heat exchanger body 1, an inlet head 3 installed at the front end of the heat exchanger body 1, an impeller rectifier 2 arranged in the heat exchanger body 1 and close to the interface of the inlet head 3, and an impeller assembly unit 4 for overall assembly of the heat exchanger body 1, the inlet head 3 and the impeller rectifier 2;

[0064] The heat exchanger body includes a main shell 100, a heat exchange core disposed in the main shell 100 and close to the outlet end, and a flow channel space 120 located in the front section of the heat exchange core in the main shell 100; the heat exchange core contains a flow microchannel;

[0065] The front end of the inlet head 3 is provided with a fluid input port 301;

[0066] The impeller assembly unit 4 includes a sealing gasket 6 to prevent gas leakage;

[0067] The heat exchanger body 1 , the inlet head 3 and the impeller rectifier 2 are assembled into one through the impeller assembly unit 4 .

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 to Figure 9 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the impeller rectifier 2 includes:

[0069] A center positioning ring 202 and impeller blades 201 arranged around the center positioning ring 202 .

[0070] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the impeller assembly unit 4 comprises:

[0071] An impeller positioning assembly 420 for positioning the impeller rectifier 2, an insertion side assembly 410 provided at the front port of the main enclosure 100 for clamping the impeller positioning assembly 420, and a fastening side assembly 430 provided at the rear port of the inlet head 3 for fixed connection with the insertion side assembly 410;

[0072] The loading side component 410 includes an inner concave card slot 411 and an inner thread portion 412 provided at the front section of the inner concave card slot 411;

[0073] The fastening side component 430 includes an outer concave snap-fitting groove 431 snap-fitting with the inner concave snap-fitting groove 411 and an inner threaded portion 412 threadedly connected with the inner threaded portion 412 .

[0074] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the impeller positioning assembly 420 includes:

[0075] A positioning frame whose side is clamped in the concave clamping groove 411, and an impeller locking component 425 fixedly connected to the center of the positioning frame for locking the impeller rectifier 2;

[0080] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the grid protection component 5 includes:

[0081] An assembling frame 501 whose side is clamped in the concave clamping groove 411 and a central grid 502 fixed in the assembling frame 501 .

[0082] In the embodiment of the present invention, a grid protection component 5 is added to the front and rear sides of the impeller assembly unit 4. On the one hand, the grid structure can limit the blade breakage of the impeller rectifier 2 and blockage of the heat exchange core 110 under long-term airflow impact, thereby ensuring the safety margin and reliability of the heat exchanger. On the other hand, the uniform grid structure also has a certain effect on the uniformity of the internal airflow, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency.

[0083] like Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a buffer layer 7 is provided at the right end surface of the inlet head 3, and the material is rubber.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging a rubber elastic-plastic cushion layer at the end surface, it is possible to eliminate the gap in the assembly between the outer concave snap-in groove 431 and the inner concave snap-in groove 411 during the assembly of the heat exchanger body 1, the inlet head 3 and the impeller rectifier 2, thereby effectively ensuring the integrity and fault tolerance of the assembly.

[0085] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the internal cross-sectional area of ​​the main enclosure is 30000-50000mm 2 , the length of the flow channel space 120 is greater than 300 mm;

[0086] The number of blades, the outer diameter of the center positioning ring, and the blade pitch of the impeller rectifier 2 are 3 to 5, 20 to 40 mm, and 150 to 250 mm, respectively.

[0087] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the number of blades, the outer diameter of the center positioning ring, and the blade pitch of the impeller rectifier 2 are 4, 40 mm, and 150 mm, respectively.

[0088] The performance analysis and demonstration of the simulation model for this embodiment is as follows: Engineering experience shows that when the flow channel is long enough, the fluid will always be uniform, but PCHE is a miniature heat exchanger, and compactness is one of its characteristics. We want to achieve uniform development of the flow field in the smallest space. After our research, we found that adding an impeller rectifier at the inlet head for rectification can achieve this goal. On the wall, the impeller rectifier destroys the streamlines of the reflow, which can effectively avoid the formation of the reflow zone. The destruction of the reflow zone on the wall by the impeller is one of the reasons why it has a rectifying effect; secondly, when the fluid enters the PCHE from the connecting pipe, the flow field shows a central concentration phenomenon, and the central flow field will be dispersed after impacting the impeller, which accelerates the full development of the flow field. The destruction of the flow field by the impeller rectifier, especially the central flow field, is also one of the reasons why it has a rectifying effect. For specific streamline diagrams, please refer to Figure 10-11 .

[0089] like Fig.14 As shown in Table 1, in order to more intuitively represent the rectification effect, we introduce the flow non-uniformity coefficient α to characterize the distribution of the fluid. We compare the flow distribution at different positions of the flow channel with and without the impeller. The results are shown in Table 1. It can be found that the rectification effect of the impeller on the flow field is very obvious.

[0090]

[0091] In the formula, ulocal is the velocity of each point on a certain cross section along the flow direction (m / s), u ave is the average velocity along the flow direction of a certain section (m / s), and S is the area of ​​a certain section (m2).

[0092] Table 1 Comparison of flow uniformity coefficient α of fluids in different cross sections

[0093]

[0094] Combination Fig.15 As shown in Table 2, we compare the heat transfer coefficient h of PCHE at different α and find that when the flow distribution is poor, the efficiency of the core part of the PCHE heat exchange will be greatly reduced.

[0095] Table 2 Values ​​of h at different α

[0096]

[0097] like Figure 12-13 As shown in the figure, in order to further demonstrate the principle of uniformity for improving PCHE performance, we selected the velocity cloud diagram of the PCHE heat exchange channel and the channel entrance when the flow uniformity coefficient α is 1.06 and 0.08. In addition, a straight line is drawn at the center of the heat exchange channel, and the velocity on the line is extracted to obtain the velocity at the center of each flow channel, as shown in the figure. Fig.18 shown.

[0098] like Figures 16-17 The figure shows the velocity distribution cloud map of the heat exchange core. It can be seen from the cloud map that when α=1.06, the velocity in the center of the flow channel is very high, and the velocity in the peripheral flow channel is very low. Since the peripheral flow channel is not fully utilized, the overall heat exchange efficiency is reduced. In addition, since the fluid is mainly concentrated in the central flow channel, it can be seen from the fluid resistance formula that the flow resistance is positively correlated with the square of the flow velocity. When α=1.06, the velocity of the central fluid is about 14 times the fluid velocity when α=0.08. At high flow rates, the resistance to the fluid is greatly increased, which leads to an increase in the overall resistance, thereby affecting the overall heat exchange efficiency.

[0099] It can be seen from the above demonstration that the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger in the embodiment of the present invention is significantly improved, which proves the effectiveness of the solution.

[0100] like Fig.19 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the assembly method of a uniform flow microchannel heat exchanger system comprises the following steps:

[0101] S100: First, the pre-installation stage is performed, the impeller rectifier 2 is placed between the first positioning frame 421 and the second positioning frame 423, and the center top column 4253 passes through the center positioning ring 202 of the impeller rectifier 2, and is fastened and matched with the locking bolt 4251 and the locking internal thread 4254, and the center positioning ring 202 is pressed between the center top column 4253 and the center clamping ring 4252, so as to complete the pre-installation of the impeller positioning assembly and the impeller rectifier;

[0102] S200: Next, the grid protection assembly 5 and the pre-assembled components are integrally installed into the concave mounting groove 411, so that the two grid protection assemblies 5 are clamped and installed into the concave mounting groove 411, and the loading of the impeller rectifier and the heat exchanger body 1 is completed;

[0103] S300: Next, install the sealing gasket into the left section of the concave mounting groove 431, and align the right side fastening side assembly 430 of the inlet head with the side assembly 410 of the heat exchanger body, and position them with each other through threaded connection until the gap between the right end face of the inlet head and the left end face of the heat exchanger body is eliminated, completing the assembly of the heat exchanger.
