The plate-jacket condenser includes a flat outer jacket, a flat inner jacket or an inner tube. The flat outer jacket is a closed planar shell through which refrigerant passes. The flat inner jacket is a closed planar shell. The inner tube is a serpentine tube or a spiral tube. The flat inner jacket or the inner tube passes cooling water and is connected to a spray system or an external cold source, or the flat outer jacket passes cooling water. The cooling water is connected to the spray system or external cold source. The flat inner sleeve or inner tube passes the refrigerant. The flat inner sleeve or inner tube is installed in the flat outer sleeve. Its pipeline passes through the shell of the flat outer sleeve. Its cooling water pipe is directly or indirectly connected to the spray system or external cold source. The flat outer sleeve, flat inner sleeve or inner tube is a flat shell or has a rib wall to enhance heat exchange.

[0012] When air cooling is used, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor enters the evaporator through the four-way reversing valve. The condensation heat of the refrigerant heats the air-conditioning water and becomes a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. It then expands and throttles through the throttle and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant. It enters the flat jacket of the plate-and-jacket condenser.

At the same time, the spray system The circulating water pump 15 circulates, and spray water is sprayed from the nozzle 16 and sprayed on the surface of the flat jacket 31 of the plate jacket condenser 3. The exhaust fan 17 exhausts air, and the air passes over the surface of the flat jacket 31, exchanges heat with the spray water thereon and is cooled down, and the water vapor condenses. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the spray water through the plate wall, evaporates and absorbs heat, and is heated by a combination of water cooling and evaporative cooling. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant is converted into a low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and finally returns to the compressor 1, completing a heating cycle. The refrigerant circulation process is the same as above.

Through the above method, only the plate-jacket condenser 3 is used, various cold and heat sources are comprehensively and effectively utilized, the energy-saving effect is significant, and the structure is compact and the volume is small.
[0051] Figure 7 , 8 In 9, the plate inner jacket 32 of the plate-jacket condenser 3 adopts a microchannel plate heat exchanger, and the size of the microchannel 41 is controlled to be less than 3 mm, which can also be called a micro-tube channel heat exchanger. The shape of the microchannel 41 is not limited to square or round, and the structural form is not limited to that shown in the figure. The microchannel 41 is a single-row channel or two or more rows of channels. The microchannel 41 passes through the refrigerant, which is conducive to the rapid heat transfer of the refrigerant and is not easy to block the channel. There is a large macro channel between the outside of the microchannel 41 and the flat outer jacket 31. Since it is difficult to ensure the cleanliness of cooling water and it is easy to scale, this macro channel is suitable for passing cooling water. The flat outer jacket 31 can be made into a detachable jacket to facilitate the removal of dirt.
[0052] Figure 8 In the figure, the flat plate inner sleeve 32 is a microchannel flat plate heat exchanger, one end of the microchannel 41 is connected to the air chamber 42, and the other end is connected to the liquid collecting chamber 43, the air chamber 42 is connected to the refrigerant inlet pipe 35, and the liquid collecting chamber 43 is connected to the refrigerant outlet pipe 36. When the heat pump system is in a refrigeration cycle, the plate-jacket condenser 3 is a condenser, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant first enters the air chamber 42 from the refrigerant inlet pipe 35, is divided into each microchannel 41, exchanges heat with the cooling water, is condensed into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant, is collected in the liquid collecting chamber 43, and finally flows out from the refrigerant outlet pipe 36. When the heat pump system is in a heating cycle, the plate-jacket condenser 3 is converted into an evaporator, and the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the liquid collecting chamber 43 from the refrigerant outlet pipe 36, is divided into each microchannel 41, exchanges heat with the cooling water, evaporates and absorbs heat, becomes a low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, is collected in the air chamber 42, and finally flows out from the refrigerant inlet pipe 35. The refrigerant and the cooling water flow in opposite directions. The flat inner jacket 32 can be made of aluminum alloy sintered at high temperature and installed inside the flat outer jacket 31. The refrigerant inlet pipe 35 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 36 are sealed through the plate wall of the flat outer jacket 31. When the outer plate wall of the flat outer jacket 31 is air-cooled or evaporatively cooled, the inside must be filled with cooling water so that the refrigerant can exchange heat with the refrigerant outside the plate through the cooling water.
[0053] Fig. 9 In the figure, the flat inner sleeve 32 is made of two metal plates. First, the two metal plates are punched out with grooves of half microchannel 41, gas separation chamber 42, and liquid collection chamber 43. Then, the two metal plates are put together, and the refrigerant inlet pipe 35 is placed in the gas separation chamber 42, and the refrigerant outlet pipe 36 is placed in the liquid collection chamber 43. Through welding, pressing, brazing and other processes, the two metal plates are sealed together to form a complete microchannel flat plate heat exchanger, which is installed in the flat outer sleeve 31 to form a plate-jacket condenser 3. The microchannel flat plate heat exchanger made of metal plates has a higher pressure resistance than aluminum alloy and is more corrosion-resistant.

A closed plate inner jacket 32 is formed between the two plate jackets 31, connected to a cooling water inlet pipe 33 and a cooling water outlet pipe 34, forming a cooling water channel, and the cooling water and the refrigerant flow in opposite directions. On the outside of the plate jacket 31, the refrigerant exchanges heat through air cooling and evaporative cooling; on the inside of the plate jacket 31, the refrigerant exchanges heat through water cooling. It is easy to remove dirt. Fig.11 The plate-and-jacket condenser 3 can be formed by sintering an aluminum alloy as a whole at a high temperature. Fig.12 The plate-jacket condenser 3 can be formed by welding metal plates, and the flat jacket 31 can be made into a detachable jacket to facilitate cleaning of dirt.

A nozzle 16 is installed at one end to spray water into the water spraying duct 44, and the other end is connected to the exhaust passage. When evaporative cooling is performed, the exhaust fan 17 exhausts air, and the nozzle 16 sprays water into the water spraying duct 44. The refrigerant discharges heat or absorbs heat into the air through the spraying water, and is discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust fan 17. The spraying water flows through the water spraying plate 45 of the exhaust passage and falls into the water collecting tank 14. The two groups of condensers can also be cooled by water, air, a combination of water and air, or a combination of water and evaporative cooling.
[0056] Fig.14 , 15 In the figure, two groups of plate-jacket condensers 46 and 47 are connected in parallel or in series in the heat pump system. In the figure, they are connected in parallel. Each group of plate-jacket condensers is composed of multiple plate-jacket condensers 3 connected in parallel, and the two are arranged vertically in the shell. The upper plate-jacket condenser 46 can be sprayed with water. Each plate-jacket condenser 3 is arranged horizontally or vertically. When arranged horizontally, the nozzle 16 is installed on the side, and water cooling, air cooling, evaporative cooling, water cooling and air cooling combined cooling, and water cooling and evaporative cooling combined cooling can be performed. The lower plate-jacket condenser 47 is not sprayed with water, and only air cooling, water cooling, and water cooling and air cooling combined cooling are performed. Each plate-jacket condenser 3 is arranged horizontally or vertically. Each plate-jacket condenser 3 has a heat exchange air duct 52, one end of which is an air inlet, and the other end is equipped with an exhaust fan 17. Using two groups of plate-jacket condensers, one can be backed up, and the reliability of the equipment is improved. When one group of plate-jacket condensers is frosted in winter, the other can be used as a standby to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
[0057] Fig.16 In the embodiment, the evaporator 4 adopts a double coil or double shell tube or sleeve evaporator, which is provided with a hot water coil 55 and an air conditioning water coil 56. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the hot water coil 55 and the air conditioning water coil 56 in the evaporator 4.
