Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat pumps, in particular to a heat pump unit using a finless heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] In the current heat pump unit, when air flows through the heat exchanger, its heat is first absorbed by the fins, and then this part of the heat is absorbed by the medium in the heat absorption tube, causing the fin temperature to drop.

At the same time, the water droplets will also cover the heat absorption tube between the two fins during the flow process, and will cover it for a long time under the action of water tension, which not only reduces the effective heat absorption area of ​​the fins and the heat absorption tube, but also affects the operating efficiency of the entire heat pump unit.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 A heat pump unit using a finless heat exchanger is shown, comprising a body 1 and a heat exchanger 4, wherein a compressor 2 and a condenser 3 are arranged inside the body 1, and a base 11 is arranged at the bottom of the body 1, the compressor 2 is arranged on the base 11, and the exhaust end of the compressor 2 is connected to the inlet end of the condenser 3; the heat exchanger 4 is arranged on the base 11 and comprises a plurality of heat absorption pipes 41, the plurality of heat absorption pipes 41 surround the right side, the rear side and the left side of the body 1 in sequence, and the inlet end and the outlet end of the plurality of heat absorption pipes 41 are both provided with It is arranged on the right side of the machine body 1; the suction end of the compressor 2 is connected to the outlet end of the plurality of heat absorption tubes 41, and the outlet end of the condenser 3 is connected to the inlet end of the plurality of heat absorption tubes 41; wherein the plurality of heat absorption tubes 41 are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside of the machine body 1 as a first group of tubes 411, a second group of tubes 412 and a third group of tubes 413; the first group of tubes 411 and the third group of tubes 413 are arranged in lateral alignment, and the second group of tubes 412 and the first group of tubes 411 or the third group of tubes 413 are arranged in lateral staggered arrangement.

[0030] On the basis of the above structure, when the heat pump unit of the present invention is used, the heat exchanger 4 surrounds the right side, the rear side and the left side of the body 1, and the heat absorption tube 41 is divided into a first group of tubes 411, a second group of tubes 412 and a third group of tubes 413. The first group of tubes 411 and the third group of tubes 413 are aligned horizontally, and the second group of tubes 412 and the first group of tubes 411 or the third group of tubes 413 are staggered to lengthen the length of the heat absorption tube 41, thereby increasing the heat absorption area of ​​the heat absorption tube 41.

[0031] It should be noted that the heat absorption tube 41 is made of pure copper; wherein, the high-temperature medium discharged from the exhaust end of the compressor 2 is cooled down after the heat release effect of the condenser 3 and enters the heat absorption tube 41, and the medium in the heat absorption tube 41 absorbs heat in the air through the outer wall of the heat absorption tube 41, and at the same time, the air temperature of the outer wall of the heat absorption tube 41 is reduced to form condensed water droplets and adhere to the outer wall of the heat absorption tube 41. Since the heat absorption tube 41 is made of pure copper and has strong hydrophobicity, and secondly, no fins are provided on the heat absorption tube 41, therefore, the condensed water droplets will gather at the bottom end of the heat absorption tube 41 under the action of the tubular curved surface and gravity and fall, thereby avoiding the condensed water droplets covering the heat absorption tube 41 under the action of tension to affect the heat absorption of the heat absorption tube 41, and also reducing the production and manufacturing process of the heat exchanger 4, and ensuring the operating efficiency of the heat pump unit.

[0032] Specifically, the heat exchanger 4 further includes a first bracket 42 and a second bracket 43 . The first bracket 42 is vertically arranged on the right side of the body 1 , and the second bracket 43 is vertically arranged on the left side of the body 1 .

[0035] Furthermore, a cold water joint 14 and a hot water joint 13 are arranged vertically on the right side of the machine body 1; the cold water inlet end of the condenser 3 is located at the top of the water storage chamber 61 and is connected to the cold water joint 14 through a cold water inlet pipe 612; the hot water joint 13 is connected to the top of the water storage chamber 61 through a hot water outlet pipe 611. The water tank 6 is also provided with an insulation chamber 62 located outside the water storage chamber 61 and used to fill insulation materials, and the insulation chamber 62 surrounds the water storage chamber 61.

[0036] Specifically, the water tank 6 is provided with a liquid level gauge 63 located on the right side of the body 1 , the top end of the liquid level gauge 63 is communicated with the top of the water storage chamber 61 , and the bottom end of the liquid level gauge 63 is communicated with the bottom of the water storage chamber 61 .

[0037] It should be noted that when in use, cold water enters from the cold water joint 14, and enters the bottom of the water tank 6 through the cold water inlet pipe 612 and fills the water tank 6. It can be observed from the liquid level gauge 63 on the right side of the body 1. After the medium absorbs heat through the heat absorption tube 41 of the heat exchanger 4, it enters the gas-liquid separation tank 5 to separate the gaseous medium and enters the compressor 2 from the suction end of the compressor 2 to be pressurized to form a high-temperature medium. The high-temperature medium then enters the condenser 3. The water in the water tank 6 close to the condenser 3 will absorb the temperature of the medium and form hot water floating on the top of the water tank 6. The hot water can flow to the hot water joint 13 through the hot water outlet pipe 611 connected to the top of the water tank 6.

[0038] Furthermore, the heat exchanger 4 surrounds the compressor 2, the condenser 3 and the gas-liquid separation tank 5; four pressure gauges 12 arranged vertically and spaced apart are provided on the front side of the machine body 1.

[0039] Among them, the compressor 2 is provided with two and is arranged at intervals on the front side of the body 1.

[0040] It should be noted that an economizer 7 is also provided in the machine body 1 , one end of the economizer 7 is connected to the suction end of the compressor 2 , and the other end of the economizer 7 is connected to the condenser 3 and the heat exchanger 4 .

[0042] Specifically, when in use, the driving motor 82 draws external air into the body 1 and drives the air flow in the body 1, thereby avoiding overheating of the compressor 2 in the body 1 and affecting the service life of the compressor 2. At the same time, it can also dissipate heat from the inside of the body 1 and dissipate the heat inside the body 1 from the gap between the heat absorption tube 41 of the heat exchanger 4. The heat absorption tube 41 can also absorb the heat dissipated from the inside of the body 1, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the heat pump unit.

[0043] In summary, the utility model uses a heat pump unit with a finless heat exchanger. The heat exchanger 4 is surrounded by the right side, the rear side and the left side of the body 1, and the heat absorption tube 41 is divided into a first group of tubes 411, a second group of tubes 412 and a third group of tubes 413.

At the same time, since there are no fins on the heat absorption tube 41 and multiple groups of tubes are staggered, it not only avoids the condensed water droplets covering the heat absorption tube 41 under the action of tension to affect the heat absorption of the heat absorption tube 41, but also reduces the production process of the heat exchanger 4 and ensures the operation efficiency of the heat pump unit.
