AI Technical Summary
In the existing plate heat exchanger with U-shaped inter-plate channels, the uniformity of fluid distribution needs to be improved, and the fluid tends to approach the partition bar when flowing, affecting the heat exchange efficiency.
A heat exchanger core is designed, including a first plate and a second plate arranged in a laminated manner. By providing a first cannula between the first plate and the second plate, the flow passage of the first cannula is in communication with the inter-plate channels, and through the design of flow resistance, the resistance of the fluid at different positions is uneven, which prompts the fluid to flow away from the isolation part, thereby improving the distribution uniformity of the fluid in the inter-plate channels.
Through the differentiated design of flow resistance, the distribution uniformity of fluid in the inter-plate channels is improved, the flow path is extended, and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is improved.

[0002] Plate heat exchangers have high heat exchange efficiency, are compact, and are relatively light in weight. They can be used in many industries such as refrigeration, chemical industry, and water treatment. The basic principle of a plate heat exchanger is to form multiple adjacent and spaced flow channels between multiple heat exchange plates, and the two heat exchange media exchange heat through the heat exchange plates in adjacent flow channels. With the increase in the application scenarios of plate heat exchangers, the performance requirements for plate heat exchangers are also increasing. In a heat exchanger with a U-shaped inter-plate channel, although the inter-plate channel is long, the fluid tends to flow close to the dividing ribs when flowing, and the uniformity of fluid distribution needs to be further improved. [Summary of the invention]
