Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of evaporators, in particular to a liquid equalizing device of a dry evaporator and a dry evaporator. Background Art
[0002] The dry evaporator is an important component in the air conditioning system. Its performance plays a key role in the energy saving and consumption reduction of the entire air conditioning system. The dry evaporator has chilled water on the shell side and refrigerant in the heat exchange tube. Through the evaporation and heat absorption principle of the refrigerant in the horizontal tube, the water outside the tube is cooled to produce low-temperature chilled water. The application of dry evaporators has been relatively mature. One of its major advantages is that it does not require a separate heat exchanger oil return design. However, the dry evaporator has a disadvantage. Due to the large number of tube bundles, after the refrigerant enters the partition box, it always flows into the heat exchange tube from the lower opening first, and then flows in from the slightly higher opening after the liquid level rises. It is difficult to evenly distribute the refrigerant in each heat exchange tube. Some heat exchange tubes have more refrigerant, and some have less refrigerant. Due to the uneven distribution of the refrigerant, a large part of the heat exchange area is not fully utilized, affecting its heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, whether the refrigerant can be evenly distributed will directly affect the performance of the heat exchanger and the utilization rate of the evaporation tube bundle;
[0003] Therefore, the utility model provides a liquid equalizing device for a dry evaporator and a dry evaporator to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

The box cover 302 seals the outer box body 301 and can facilitate the replacement of internal parts. The storage chamber 303 is opened at the bottom of the box cover 302. The floating plate 304 is provided with a sliding rod 305 and a diverter plate 306. 04 is sleeved on the inside of the storage chamber 303, two sets of slide bars 305 are fixedly connected to the top of the floating plate 304 and are slidably connected to the box cover 302, the two sets of slide bars 305 can ensure the stability of the floating plate 304, the diverter plate 306 is fixedly connected to the right end of the bottom of the floating plate 304, during the use of the utility model, when the refrigerant is injected into the outer box body 301, as the refrigerant continues to increase, the floating plate 304 rises upward under the buoyancy, and when the floating plate 304 rises, it can drive the diverter plate 306 and the two sets of slide bars 305 to rise at the same time.
[0033] For further information, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The left end of the outer box body 301 is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe 4, the connecting pipe 4 passes through the left end of the end cover 2 and is threadedly connected with a fastening nut 5, a plastic gasket 6 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting pipe 4 and located between the outer box body 301 and the end cover 2, the left end of the connecting pipe 4 is used for an external refrigerant liquid inlet pipe, the fastening nut 5 is used for fixing the connecting pipe 4 and the end cover 2, so that the outer box body 301 is stable, and the plastic gasket 6 can protect the outer box body 301.
[0034] For further information, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The right end of the outer box body 301 is fixedly connected with a plurality of diverter sleeves 7, and a plurality of through holes 8 are opened inside the diverter plate 306, and the through holes 8 are adapted for use with the plurality of diverter sleeves 7. During use of the utility model, the right end of the diverter plate 306 contacts the pipe mouth of the diverter sleeve 7, and the diverter plate 306 blocks the refrigerant from entering the diverter sleeve 7. When the diverter plate 306 rises, it drives the plurality of through holes 8 to rise. When the plurality of through holes 8 rise, they will gradually overlap with the pipe mouths of the plurality of diverter sleeves 7, so that the refrigerant enters the plurality of diverter sleeves 7 through the plurality of through holes 8.
[0035] For further information, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 Two sets of limit bars 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall on the right side of the outer box body 301, and the diverter plate 306 is slidably connected to the limit bars 9.

When the plurality of through holes 8 rise, they will gradually overlap with the pipe openings of the plurality of diverter sleeves 7, so that the refrigerant passes through the plurality of The through hole 8 enters into several diverter sleeves 7 at the same time. When the slide rod 305 slides upward driven by the float plate 304, the top end of the slide rod 305 slides upward on the inner side of the sleeve 10 to squeeze the spring 11. When the refrigerant in the outer box 301 decreases, the buoyancy of the float plate 304 will decrease, and the spring 11 will reversely squeeze the slide rod 305 to make the slide rod 305 slide downward, so that the float plate 304 drives the diverter plate 306 to move downward, reducing the overlapping area between the several through holes 8 and the several diverter sleeves 7, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the refrigerant entering the several diverter sleeves 7.
