Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a fin-tube heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] An air source heat pump is an energy-saving device that uses high-level energy to make heat flow from a low-level heat source to a high-level heat source. Its working principle is based on the reverse Carnot cycle principle. The liquid working fluid first absorbs heat from the air in the evaporator and evaporates to form steam (vaporization). The latent heat of vaporization is the recovered heat. It is then compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas by the compressor and condensed into a liquid (liquefaction) in the condenser, transferring the absorbed heat to the water that needs to be heated. The liquid working fluid is expanded by the expansion valve after reducing the pressure, and then returns to the expansion valve, absorbing heat and evaporating to complete a cycle. This cycle repeats itself, and the working fluid flow in the refrigeration process is in the opposite direction.

[0003] Current air source heat pump units use fin-tube heat exchangers to exchange heat with outdoor air. The circuit layout of the fin-tube heat exchanger affects the cooling (heating) effect of the air source heat pump unit. Some circuit layouts are conducive to cooling of the air source heat pump unit, but the heating effect is poor. Some circuit layouts are conducive to heating of the air source heat pump unit, but the cooling effect is poor. An unreasonable circuit layout of the fin-tube heat exchanger will cause an imbalance in cooling and heating of the air source heat pump unit. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a fin-tube heat exchanger to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a fin-tube heat exchanger, comprising a copper heat exchange tube and a plurality of fins, wherein the heat exchange tube passes through the fins and bends in a circuitous manner to form a double row of heat exchange circuits, wherein the fins are provided with a plurality of vertically evenly distributed heat exchange circuits, wherein the heat exchange circuit is L-shaped as a whole, wherein one end of all the heat exchange circuits is connected to a liquid collecting pipe, and the other end of all the heat exchange circuits is connected to an exhaust riser, and wherein two rows of horizontal flow channels in the heat exchange circuits are staggered in vertical positions.

[0006] Preferably, the end bends of the heat exchange tubes in the heat exchange circuit are connected by a U-shaped joint, and the bending radius of the U-shaped joint is not less than times its radius.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: during cooling, the refrigerant of each heat exchange circuit enters from the inner row of heat exchange coils and exits from the outer row of heat exchange coils, and the refrigerant and the outdoor air are ventilated countercurrently for heat exchange, which increases the refrigerant supercooling, thereby increasing the cooling capacity of the air source heat pump unit. During heating, the refrigerant of each heat exchange circuit enters from the outer row of heat exchange coils and exits from the inner row of heat exchange coils, and the refrigerant and the outdoor air are ventilated concurrently for heat exchange, which increases the refrigerant evaporation heat absorption heat exchange length, thereby increasing the heating capacity of the air source heat pump unit. This heat exchanger, since each heat exchange circuit spans two rows, the layout is reasonable, and the functions of cooling and heating are balanced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
