[0002] An economizer is a heat exchanger that absorbs heat through the throttling evaporation of the refrigerant itself, so that another part of the refrigerant can be subcooled. The economizer is often used in centrifugal chillers.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1-4, in an embodiment of the present utility model, an efficient economizer for a centrifugal chiller includes a plate heat exchanger 1 and a filter chamber 5. At the top of one side of the plate heat exchanger 1, there is an air outlet pipe 3. Just below the top of the side of the plate heat exchanger 1 close to the air outlet pipe 3, there is a first liquid inlet pipe 2. On one side of the top of the filter chamber 5, there is a connecting pipe 4 that communicates with the first liquid inlet pipe 2. On the side of the bottom of the filter chamber 5 away from the first liquid inlet pipe 2, there is a throttle pipe 24. At the bottom of the throttle pipe 24, there is a solenoid valve 6. At the bottom of the solenoid valve 6, there is a second liquid inlet pipe 9 that communicates with the inside of the plate heat exchanger 1. On the outside of the second liquid inlet pipe 9, there is a thermostatic expansion valve 8 that cooperates with its inside. At the back end of the bottom of one side of the plate heat exchanger 1, there is a liquid outlet pipe 7. On both sides inside the filter chamber 5, there are respectively a sponge filter plate 10 and an impact rod 11. At the top of the filter chamber 5, there is a driving cleaning assembly.

[0025] The driving cleaning assembly includes a cleaning plate 13, a U-shaped connecting rod 15, a first spring 16, a cam 17, a rotating rod 18, a motor 20 and a fixing plate 21. The fixing plate 21 is located on the side of the top of the filter chamber 5 away from the connecting pipe 4. At the top of the side of the fixing plate 21 close to the connecting pipe 4, there is a motor 20. The output end of the motor 20 is provided with a rotating rod 18;

[0026] On the side of the rotating rod 18 close to the connecting pipe 4, there is a cam 17. Just below the cam 17, there is a U-shaped connecting rod 15 that extends into the filter chamber 5, and the U-shaped connecting rod 15 cooperates with the cam 17. At the inner top of the U-shaped connecting rod 15, there is a first spring 16 connected to the filter chamber 5. At the bottom of the U-shaped connecting rod 15, there is a cleaning plate 13 that fits against the filter screen plate 12. On the outside of the rotating rod 18, there is an impact assembly.

[0027] The impact assembly includes a push block 19, a pressing block 22, a second spring 23, an impact rod 11 and a vibration block 14. There are two sets of vibration blocks 14 and push blocks 19. The two sets of vibration blocks 14 are located at the top and the middle position on the side of the filter screen plate 12 close to the sponge filter plate 10. The two sets of push blocks 19 are located at the top and the bottom on the outside of the rotating rod 18. Just below the push block 19, there is a pressing block 22 that cooperates with it. At the bottom of the pressing block 22, there is an impact rod 11 that extends into the filter chamber 5 and fits against the vibration block 14. On the outside of the top of the impact rod 11, there is a second spring 23 connected to the pressing block 22.

[0028] At the middle position and the bottom on the side of the impact rod 11 close to the vibration block 14, there are impact blocks, and the impact blocks cooperate with the vibration block 14.

[0029] At the top of the back end of one set of push blocks 19 and the bottom of the back end of the other set of push blocks 19, and at the top of the front end of the pressing block 22, there are guiding inclined surfaces, and the two sets of guiding inclined surfaces cooperate with each other.

[0030] One end of the front side of the filter chamber 5 is hinged with a sealed chamber door, and a handle is provided at one end of the front side of the sealed chamber door.

[0031] Working principle: During use, the plate heat exchanger 1 and the components above it can be directly installed at the designated position inside the centrifugal chiller. Then, the refrigeration liquid enters the inside of the first inlet pipe 2. Then, the refrigeration liquid is divided into two paths inside the first inlet pipe 2. One path passes through the heat medium and enters the inside of the plate heat exchanger 1, and the other passes through the connecting pipe 4 and enters the inside of the filter chamber 5. The filter screen plate 12 and the sponge filter plate 10 designed inside the filter chamber 5 are used to filter the impurities contained in the refrigeration liquid, reduce the blockage phenomenon caused by the accumulation of impurities inside the throttle pipe 24, improve the later conversion efficiency, and protect the throttle pipe 24. Then, the filtered refrigeration liquid can enter the inside of the plate heat exchanger 1 through the throttle pipe 24, the solenoid valve 6, the thermostatic expansion valve 8, and the second inlet pipe 9. The solenoid valve 6 is used to control the flow of the liquid inside the throttle pipe 24. Then, the thermostatic expansion valve 8 is used to adjust the pressure and temperature of the liquid. Finally, the liquid enters the inside of the plate heat exchanger 1 through the cold medium inlet inside the second inlet pipe 9. Then, heat exchange is realized inside the plate heat exchanger 1. Finally, the first path of liquid enters the refrigeration terminal through the outlet pipe 7, and the second path of liquid becomes superheated and turns into gas and enters the compressor through the outlet pipe 3;

[0032] When it is necessary to clean the outside of the filter screen plate 12 later, the motor 20 can be used to rotate the rotating rod 18 and the cam 17 simultaneously, so that the bottom end of the cam 17 can push the U-shaped connecting rod 15 to move downward inside the filter chamber 5 to compress the first spring 16 during the rotation of the cam 17. Then, the cleaning plate 13 is driven by the U-shaped connecting rod 15 to perform brush cleaning outside the filter screen plate 12, reducing the accumulation and blockage of impurities on its outside. Finally, when the bottom end of the cam 17 is separated from the resistance against the U-shaped connecting rod 15 during the continuous rotation of the cam 17, the elastic restoring force of the first spring 16 can be used to move the cleaning plate 13 upward to restore its original position, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the cleaning plate 13 up and down;

[0033] During the rotation of the rotating rod 18, the pushing block 19 can also be driven to rotate. When the guiding inclined surface at one end of the pushing block 19 rotates and aligns with the guiding inclined surface at the front end of the pressing block 22, the pushing block 19 can push the pressing block 22 through the guiding inclined surface, driving the impact rod 11 to move downward inside the filter chamber 5, compressing the second spring 23. At this time, the movement of the impact rod 11 can move away from the contact with the vibration block 14. When the pushing block 19 continues to rotate and disengages from the resistance of the pressing block 22, the elastic restoring force of the second spring 23 can drive the impact rod 11 to recover and impact the vibration block 14, thereby realizing the reciprocating impact vibration work between the impact rod 11 and the vibration block 14. Through the vibration generated by the impact, the secondary dredging work of the inside of the filter screen plate 12 is realized, effectively improving the internal filtration efficiency of the filter screen plate 12, eliminating the need for operators to manually disassemble, clean and replace, and extending the service life in the later stage.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
