Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of central air conditioning, and particularly relates to a dry evaporator in refrigeration unit equipment. Background Art

[0002] In dry evaporators, the shell baffle is usually set between the water inlet and outlet, and there is no baffle in the water area between the tube sheet and the nearest baffle. When the refrigeration unit is in refrigeration condition, the inlet / outlet temperature is 12℃ / 7℃. When the unit is in partial load operation, it will be frequently started under the automatic control of the system. This frequent startup will lead to frequent evaporation temperature <-5℃. This problem occurs more frequently during the transition between spring and summer.

[0003] When the water near the connection between the tube sheet on the shell side of the dry evaporator and the heat exchange tube near the liquid pipe on the refrigerant side is subjected to low temperature impact, ice or ice crystals will appear. This local low temperature will cause the root of the heat exchange tube to bulge, deform, freeze and crack, and even cause leakage, eventually causing the shell side water to enter the refrigerant system in the heat exchange tube, damaging the compressor, causing the unit to fail and shut down, and reducing the reliability of the refrigeration unit.

[0004] In view of this drawback, technicians in this field need to consider how to prevent freezing at the connection between the tube sheet and the heat exchange tube of the dry evaporator and how to design a dry evaporator to avoid local low temperature at the root of the heat exchange tube by improving the heat exchange structure. These are urgent problems to be solved by technicians in this field. Utility Model Content

[0028] The utility model is described in detail below through specific embodiments. People who are familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and functions of the utility model from the content disclosed in this specification; however, it should be pointed out that the following specific implementation methods do not technically limit the technical solution. Under the guidance of the following technical solution, those skilled in the art can also make further technical extensions. The scope of protection of this patent application shall be subject to the claims.

[0029] like Figure 1 A dry evaporator shown includes a tube box 1, a flange 3, a U-shaped heat exchange tube 12, a cylinder 13, an end cover 14 and a support 11. The tube box 1, the flange 3, the cylinder 13 and the end cover 14 are connected together by bolts. The U-shaped heat exchange tube 12 is provided in multiple pieces and fixed inside the cylinder 13. The utility model is provided with two supports 11, and the cylinder 13 is horizontally supported and fixed by the two supports 11.

[0030] The cylinder 13 is provided with a baffle assembly, which includes a baffle assembly, a spiral baffle assembly and a tube sheet 2 arranged in the cylinder 13. The tube sheet 2 is clamped between the tube box 1 and the flange 3, and is used to fix the ends of a plurality of U-shaped heat exchange tubes 12.

[0031] The spiral baffle assembly includes a central tube 8, a first spiral baffle 9 and a plurality of second spiral baffles 10 connected in series; the first spiral baffle 9 is arranged in a 90° fan-shaped structure, and the second spiral baffle 10 is arranged in a 180° fan-shaped structure. The first spiral baffle 9 and a plurality of second spiral baffles 10 are connected in series on the outer wall of the central tube 8 to form a spiral guide structure.

[0032] The baffle assembly includes a liquid baffle plate 4, a first baffle plate 5, a second baffle plate 6 and a third baffle plate 7 with baffle notches arranged in a staggered manner along the circumferential direction of the cylinder body. The water inlet 15 of the cylinder body 13 is located in the space surrounded by the liquid baffle plate 4, the tube sheet 2, the first baffle plate 5 and the first spiral baffle plate 9, and the water outlet 16 of the cylinder body 13 is located at the end of the spiral baffle assembly.

[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, the liquid baffle plate 4 is located at the 0° position of the cylinder, the first baffle plate 5 is located at the 90° position of the cylinder, and a first baffle notch 51 is arranged on the side close to the tube sheet 2, the second baffle plate 6 is located at the 180° position of the cylinder, and a second baffle notch 61 is arranged on the side close to the second spiral baffle plate 10, and the third baffle plate 7 is located at the 270° position of the cylinder, and a third baffle notch 71 is arranged on the side close to the tube sheet 2.

[0034] The inner sides of the liquid baffle plate 4, the first baffle plate 5, the second baffle plate 6 and the third baffle plate 7 are all welded or glued to the central tube 8, and the outer sides are all clearance-matched with the cylinder 13, and the preferred clearance is 1 mm; the left and right sides of the liquid baffle plate 4 are respectively welded or glued to the tube sheet 2 and the first spiral baffle plate 9, the right side of the first baffle plate 5 is welded or glued to the first spiral baffle plate 9, the left side of the second baffle plate 6 is welded or glued to the tube sheet 2, and the right side of the third baffle plate 7 is welded or glued to the second spiral baffle plate 10.

[0035] During actual molding and manufacturing, the liquid baffle 4, the first baffle 5, the second baffle 6 and the third baffle 7 are all made of stainless steel plates, preferably with a thickness of 4 mm.

When the unit is ensured to stop running in winter, the shell side water of the device can be discharged more thoroughly, thereby improving the antifreeze reliability of the evaporator.

[0039] In the above-mentioned dry evaporator, the length L1 of the first baffle notch, the length L2 of the second baffle notch, and the length L3 of the third baffle notch are all smaller than the unit pitch L4 of the spiral baffle assembly; the technical solution constrains L1=L2=L3; through the above-mentioned baffle assembly setting, the water flowing in through the evaporator shell water inlet 15 needs to flow through the first baffle area 21, the first baffle notch 51, the second baffle area 22, the second baffle notch 61, the third baffle area 23, the third baffle notch 71, and the fourth baffle area 24 in sequence, and then enter the spiral channel of the spiral baffle assembly.
