Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchange equipment, in particular to a fractal microchannel heat exchanger. Background Technique

[0002] A microchannel, also known as a microchannel heat exchanger, is a heat exchanger with an equivalent channel diameter of 10 - 1000 μm. There are dozens of fine channels in the flat tube of this heat exchanger, which are connected to circular headers at both ends of the flat tube. A partition is arranged in the header to divide the heat exchanger channels into several processes. The materials that can be selected for the micro - microchannel heat exchanger are: polymethyl methacrylate, nickel, copper, stainless steel, ceramics, silicon, Si3N4, aluminum, etc. Compared with conventional heat exchangers, the microchannel heat exchanger not only has a small volume, a large heat transfer coefficient, and high heat transfer efficiency, can meet higher energy efficiency standards, but also has excellent pressure resistance performance and can use CO2 as a refrigerant.

[0003] Microchannel heat exchangers can be divided into micro - microchannel heat exchangers and large - scale microchannel heat exchangers according to their external dimensions. The micro - microchannel heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger with a compact, light and efficient structure designed to meet the needs of the development of the electronics industry. Its structural forms include flat plate cross - flow micro heat exchangers and sintered mesh porous micro heat exchangers. With the improvement of micro - processing technology, high - efficiency micro heat exchangers with a flow channel depth range of several micrometers to several hundred micrometers can be processed.

The fan - shaped heat exchange box includes a box body, a fan - shaped fractal unit channel, a liquid outlet pipe and a jack. A fan - shaped fractal unit channel is arranged in the inner cavity of the box body. A liquid outlet pipe is arranged on one side wall of the box body, and a jack corresponding to the liquid outlet pipe is arranged on the other side wall of the box body; the box cover is arranged on the top of the fan - shaped heat exchange box. The box cover includes a cover plate, a fluid inlet and a clamping edge. A fluid inlet is opened on the cover plate, and a clamping edge is arranged at the contact position between the cover plate and the fan - shaped heat exchange box, which can change the splicing form of the fan - shaped heat exchange box according to the space size of the actual use position, so that it can work in different - sized spaces and is used for chips in narrow spaces.
