Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to a turbine refrigerator experimental system. Background Art

[0002] At present, commonly used refrigerators generally use heat exchange to initially reduce the temperature of the airflow, and then use expansion to further reduce the temperature of the airflow, thereby preparing cold air. Among them, heat exchange is generally carried out by a heat exchanger, and in order to ensure the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger, it is generally necessary to set a heat exchange medium in the heat exchanger, and use the heat exchange medium to absorb the heat in the airflow, thereby reducing the temperature of the airflow; however, this method requires that the heat absorbed in the heat exchange medium be discharged after the heat exchange is completed, so that the heat exchange medium can return to its initial state before it can work smoothly again.
