Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cold energy air conditioning refrigeration technology, and particularly relates to a combined high-efficiency heat exchanger for cold energy air conditioning. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the in-depth transformation of China's energy consumption structure, natural gas is becoming one of the main alternative energy sources for vehicle fuel due to its environmental protection, energy saving and economy, and especially LNG (liquefied natural gas) is gradually used by commercial vehicles due to its safety, cleanliness, high loadable rate and low use cost, which not only promotes the transformation of China's energy structure, but also effectively reduces environmental pollution caused by burning exhaust emissions.

[0003] LNG as a vehicle fuel is a liquid form of natural gas, which is stored in a low-temperature cylinder with a temperature of-162 DEG C and a pressure of 0.1 MPa. LNG is beneficial to storage and transportation, but the state when it is finally utilized is often gaseous. Therefore, LNG needs to be vaporized before being utilized. When the automobile gas system uses LNG fuel, a large amount of cold energy is released during the vaporization of LNG, that is, a large amount of available cold energy is released during the LNG vaporization process, which causes waste of cold energy. Recycling this part of cold energy can effectively utilize energy.

[0004] At present, some experts and scholars in colleges and universities and research institutes propose an automobile air conditioning refrigeration system based on LNG cold energy recovery, but the heat exchangers of these refrigeration systems all adopt a method of direct heat exchange between a cold carrier and LNG. Since there is a large heat exchange temperature difference between the two, the LNG air conditioning refrigeration system is prone to problems of ice blocking of the cold carrier and poor heat exchange, which causes the system to be unable to continuously and stably operate, and the cold energy recovery and utilization efficiency is low.

[0049] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects: LNG enters the first heat exchanger 200, exchanges heat with the cold storage agent vapor 601, vaporizes into a gaseous state and reaches a certain superheat degree, and then becomes low-temperature natural gas at -80 DEG C, and then enters the second heat exchanger 300 to exchange heat with the cold carrier, and is heated to 10 DEG C by the cold carrier, and then enters the engine for combustion and work after further re-warming by the water bath vaporizer. The 12 DEG C cold carrier is pressurized by the circulating pump and enters the second heat exchanger 300 to exchange heat with the low-temperature natural gas, and is cooled to 10 DEG C and then enters the third heat exchanger 400 to exchange heat with the liquid-phase cold storage agent, and is further cooled to 0 DEG C and then sent to the cold energy air conditioning assembly in the vehicle cabin through the pipeline to exchange heat with the air in the cabin, thereby producing a refrigeration effect, and the cold carrier is heated to 12 DEG C by the air and flows out of the cabin, and is pressurized by the circulating pump to participate in the circulation. The liquid-phase cold storage agent absorbs heat on the surface of the third heat exchanger 400, and the temperature of the liquid-phase cold storage agent is increased, a large number of bubbles are generated on the outer wall of the heat exchange flat tube B and the heat exchange fin B, the bubbles detach from the heat exchange surface, float upwards, and exchange heat with the cold storage agent 600 with a lower temperature, the bubbles gradually shrink, and the bubbles that have not been completely exchanged heat enter the upper part of the outer storage tank 100 and become the cold storage agent vapor 601. The cold storage agent vapor 601 is gathered at the top of the outer storage tank 100, absorbs the cold energy of LNG on the outer wall of the heat exchange flat tube A and the heat exchange fin A, and is liquefied by condensation, and flows downward along the wall under the action of gravity, falls into the cold storage agent 600 in a supercooled state, and mixes with the upper liquid surface of the cold storage agent 600. In this way, in the inner part of the outer storage tank 100, the cold storage agent is in a process of continuously exchanging heat, that is, boiling and vaporizing at the bottom, moving upwards, condensing and liquefying at the bottom, and moving downwards.

[0050] The combined high-efficiency heat exchanger for cold energy air conditioning disclosed in the present application can transfer the cold energy of LNG at a lower temperature to the cold carrier with a higher freezing point through the cold storage agent, thereby avoiding the ice blocking problem that may be caused by direct heat exchange between the conventional cold carrier and LNG; the first heat exchanger of the present application can vaporize LNG from a liquid state into gaseous natural gas (-80 DEG C) and condense the gaseous cold storage agent into a liquid state; the second heat exchanger of the present application can fully exchange heat between the low-temperature natural gas at -80 DEG C and the cold carrier at 12 DEG C, thereby increasing the temperature of the low-temperature natural gas to 10 DEG C and reducing the temperature of the cold carrier to 10 DEG C; and the third heat exchanger of the present application can vaporize the liquid-phase cold storage agent into bubbles that escape upwards, and reduce the temperature of the cold carrier to 0 DEG C by absorbing cold energy.
