Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevator air conditioners, and in particular to an elevator air conditioner with a secondary condensation function. Background Art

[0002] When the elevator air conditioner is started, the refrigerant is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas by the compressor and then flows to the condenser. The condenser dissipates heat and condenses it into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant at room temperature. However, if the air conditioner is in a high-temperature environment (43-45°C) at this time, the refrigerant cannot be completely condensed into a high-pressure pure liquid. The refrigerant that has not completely dissipated heat is in a gas-liquid mixed state in the condenser pipe. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant enters the evaporator through the capillary tube, which will directly affect the cooling effect of the elevator air conditioner.

[0029] Combine Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses an elevator air conditioner with a secondary condensation function, comprising:

[0030] Compressor 100, condenser 200 and evaporator 300;

[0031] The output end of the compressor 100 is connected to the input end of the condenser through a first pipe 400;

[0032] The output end of the condenser is connected to the input end of the evaporator through a second pipe 500;

[0033] The output end of the evaporator is connected to the input end of the compressor 100 through a third pipe 600;

[0034] The second pipe 500 has a heat exchange pipe section 510 , and a covering portion is provided between the heat exchange pipe section 510 and the third pipe 600 to form a pipe-in-pipe structure.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention sets a tube-in-tube structure of the second pipe 500 and the third pipe 600, and utilizes the heat absorption effect of the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the third pipe 600 to perform secondary condensation on the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant that has not been completely condensed in the second pipe 500, so that the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant is converted into a high-pressure room-temperature liquid before entering the evaporator 300, effectively solving the problem of insufficient primary condensation in a high-temperature environment, ensuring that the refrigerant entering the evaporator 300 is mainly in liquid state, and significantly improving the cooling effect.

[0036] The refrigerant circulation process of the elevator air conditioner of the present invention is as follows:

[0037] The compressor 100 compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. Under the influence of the high-temperature working environment (43 to 45°C), the high-temperature, high-pressure gas enters the condenser 200 through the first pipe 400 and is condensed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas-liquid mixture. When the high-temperature, high-pressure gas-liquid mixture flows through the second pipe 500, it is affected by the low temperature of the third pipe 600 and is condensed into a high-pressure, normal-temperature liquid. The high-pressure, normal-temperature liquid enters the evaporator 300 and becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas. The low-temperature, low-pressure gas enters the compressor 100 through the third pipe 600, forming a cycle.

[0038] In the present invention, the pressure of the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is 8 to 10 kg, and the temperature is 25 to 35°C; the pressure of the high-pressure, room-temperature liquid is 35 to 40 kg, and the temperature is 50 to 60°C; the pressure of the high-temperature, high-pressure gas is 35 to 40 kg, and the temperature is 90 to 100°C; the pressure of the high-temperature, high-pressure gas-liquid mixture is 35 to 40 kg, and the temperature is about 55°C.

[0039] Furthermore, the heat exchange section 510 is partially coated around the third pipe 600. This partial coating design allows the coating ratio to be adjusted based on actual operating conditions (e.g., ambient temperature, cooling capacity requirements), flexibly adapting to high or normal temperature environments, ensuring that the refrigerant reaches an optimal degree of subcooling before entering the evaporator 300, and improving cooling efficiency.

[0040] Furthermore, the heat exchange pipe section 510 is a U-shaped pipe. The curved structure of the U-shaped pipe avoids the long-distance laying required by traditional straight pipe layouts, increases the flow path length of the refrigerant in the heat exchange section 510, and effectively increases the heat exchange area between the heat exchange pipe section 510 and the third pipe 600, allowing the high-temperature, high-pressure gas-liquid mixture to be fully converted into a high-pressure, room-temperature liquid.

[0041] Furthermore, the second pipe 500 has a first capillary section 520, and the heat exchange section 510 is connected to the output end of the condenser via the first capillary section 520. The capillary section acts as a throttling element, initially reducing the pressure of the high-temperature, high-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant output by the condenser 200, lowering its pressure when it enters the heat exchange section 510, allowing the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant to be more easily cooled to a liquid state within the heat exchange section 510.

[0042] Furthermore, the second pipe 500 has a second capillary section 530, and the heat exchange pipe section 510 is connected to the input end of the evaporator via the second capillary section 530. The capillary section acts as a throttling element, throttling the refrigerant after secondary condensation, thereby reducing the pressure of the high-pressure, room-temperature liquid refrigerant and preventing incomplete evaporation of the refrigerant after entering the evaporator 300 due to excessive pressure.

[0043] Furthermore, the second capillary tube section 530 has a spiral tube section 531. The spiral structure increases the flow path length of the refrigerant in the capillary tube through the coiled design, providing sufficient length so that the pressure of the refrigerant gradually decreases during the process of flowing to the evaporator 300.

[0044] Furthermore, a filter is installed at the second capillary tube segment 530. Elevator air conditioners operate in a high-temperature, enclosed cabin environment for extended periods, and dust, metal shavings, or moisture may be mixed into the refrigerant. The filter effectively removes solid impurities and liquid moisture from the second capillary tube segment 530 through physical interception, preventing throttling failure or uneven flow due to blockage.

[0045] In one embodiment, the evaporator 300 is located above the condenser 200. This arrangement of the evaporator 300 and condenser 200 maximizes the vertical space at the top of the elevator car, reduces lateral space, and is suitable for the confined space at the top of a small elevator shaft. Condensate produced by the evaporator 300 during operation naturally drips onto the condenser 200 due to gravity, helping the condenser 200 dissipate heat.

[0046] Furthermore, the input end of the condenser is located at the top of the condenser 200, and the output end of the condenser is located at the bottom of the condenser 200. After entering from the top, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows downward under the action of gravity. Inside the condenser 200, the condensed liquid refrigerant naturally gathers at the bottom due to gravity and is discharged. This prevents the liquid refrigerant from accumulating at the top, causing local overheating or uneven heat exchange, and ensures an efficient and stable condensation process.

[0047] Furthermore, the evaporator input end is located at the bottom of the evaporator 300, and the evaporator output end is located at the top of the evaporator 300. With the input end located at the bottom of the evaporator 300, liquid refrigerant enters at the lowest point and naturally spreads under the action of gravity, fully contacting the fins of the evaporator 300, resulting in a more uniform heat absorption and evaporation process. With the output end located at the top of the evaporator 300, the gaseous refrigerant evaporated from the liquid refrigerant is discharged first, leaving the liquid refrigerant at the bottom due to gravity. This prevents unevaporated droplets from entering the compressor 100 along with the gaseous refrigerant, thereby extending the life of the compressor 100.

[0048] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above description, those skilled in the art may also make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and modifications and variations of the present invention should also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention. In addition, although certain specific terms are used in this description, these terms are only for convenience of description and do not constitute any limitation to the present invention.
