Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of freeze dryers, and particularly relates to an energy-saving freeze dryer. Background Art

[0002] A freeze dryer is a machine that, according to the principle of freeze dehumidification, forces compressed air to pass through an evaporator for heat exchange to cool down, so that the gaseous water and oil in the compressed air are cooled isobarically and condensed into liquid water and oil, and are discharged outside the machine through an automatic drainer, thereby obtaining dry and clean compressed air. Traditional freeze dryers use heat dissipation fins and a cooling fan to cool the refrigerant in the condenser tube. In order to improve the efficiency of cooling the refrigerant, a cooling fan with a relatively high power is usually used to dissipate heat from the heat dissipation fins, so the energy consumption is relatively large. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an energy-saving freeze dryer for the deficiencies of the prior art, so as to solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0004] To achieve this purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] An energy-saving freeze dryer includes a housing. A heat dissipation fin is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing. A condenser tube and a serpentine tube are installed on the heat dissipation fin. The serpentine tube is arranged horizontally. An automatic drainer is installed at the bottom water outlet of the serpentine tube. An air-water separator is installed in the upper part of the inner cavity of the housing. The drain port at the bottom of the air-water separator is located above the serpentine tube, and the drain port is connected to the top water inlet of the serpentine tube through a pipeline.

[0006] As a preferred scheme of the energy-saving freeze dryer, a pre-cooler and an evaporator are further installed in the upper part of the inner cavity of the housing.

[0024] Such as Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the utility model provides an energy-saving refrigerated dryer, which includes a housing 1. At the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1, heat dissipation fins 4 are installed. A condensing pipe 5 and a serpentine pipe 6 are installed on the heat dissipation fins 4. The function of the heat dissipation fins 4 is to increase the heat dissipation area of the condensing pipe 5 and help the refrigerant flowing in the condensing pipe 5 to dissipate heat and cool down. The serpentine pipe 6 is made of copper and is arranged horizontally. An automatic drainer 7 is installed at the bottom water outlet of the serpentine pipe 6. An air-water separator 10 is installed in the upper part of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The drain port 10-3 at the bottom of the air-water separator 10 is located above the serpentine pipe 6, and the drain port 10-3 is connected to the top water inlet of the serpentine pipe 6 through a pipeline. When the dryer is working, the condensed water discharged from the drain port 10-3 of the air-water separator 10 will flow downward through the serpentine pipe 6 to the automatic drainer 7. When the condensed water passes through the serpentine pipe 6, it can exchange heat with the heat dissipation fins 4, so as to use the low temperature of the condensed water to help the heat dissipation fins 4 dissipate heat. A ventilation opening 11 is provided on the left side wall of the housing 1, and a heat dissipation fan 12 is installed on the right side wall of the housing 1. The heat dissipation fan 12 faces the heat dissipation fins 4, and the heat dissipation fan 12 can blow air to the heat dissipation fins 4, so as to perform air-cooled heat dissipation on the heat dissipation fins 4.

[0025] Specifically, a pre-cooler 8 and an evaporator 9 are also installed in the upper part of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The wet air inlet 8-1 and the dry air outlet 8-4 of the pre-cooler 8 are both arranged outside the housing 1. The wet air outlet 8-2 of the pre-cooler 8 is connected to the evaporator air inlet 9-1 of the evaporator 9 through a pipeline. The evaporator air outlet 9-2 of the evaporator 9 is connected to the separator air inlet 10-1 of the air-water separator 10 through a pipeline. The separator air outlet 10-2 of the air-water separator 10 is connected to the dry air inlet 8-3 of the pre-cooler 8 through a pipeline. The function of the evaporator 9 is to take away the heat of the wet air through the refrigerant, so that the moisture in the wet air reaches the saturation temperature and quickly condenses, and then aggregates into condensed water droplets. The function of the air-water separator 10 is to separate the condensed water in the air. The function of the pre-cooler 8 is to pre-cool the wet air just entering the pre-cooler 8 with the low-temperature dry air discharged from the air-water separator 10.

[0026] More specifically, a liquid storage tank 2 and a compressor 3 are also installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The liquid outlet end of the liquid storage tank 2 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the compressor 3 through a pipeline. The liquid outlet end pipeline of the compressor 3 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the condensing pipe 5. The liquid outlet end of the condensing pipe 5 is connected to the refrigerant inlet 9-3 of the evaporator 9 through a pipeline. The refrigerant outlet 9-4 of the evaporator 9 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the liquid storage tank 2 through a pipeline. The liquid storage tank 2 is used to store the refrigerant, the compressor 3 is used to lift the low-pressure refrigerant to a high-pressure refrigerant, and the heat dissipation fins 4, the condensing pipe 5 and the heat dissipation fan 12 cooperate to dissipate heat and cool down the refrigerant.

[0027] The working principle and usage process of the utility model:

[0028] When the energy-saving freeze dryer is in use, the condensed water discharged from the drain port 10-3 of the gas-water separator 10 flows downward through the serpentine pipe 6 to the automatic drain 7. When the condensed water passes through the serpentine pipe 6, it exchanges heat with the heat dissipation fins 4. The low temperature of the condensed water can effectively help the heat dissipation fins 4 dissipate heat quickly, thereby improving the efficiency of the heat dissipation fins 4 in cooling the refrigerant without increasing the power of the cooling fan 12.

[0029] It should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles applied. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent replacements, changes, etc. can be made to the present invention. However, as long as these transformations do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they should be within the protection scope of the present invention. In addition, some terms used in the description and claims of this application are not restrictive, but are only for the convenience of description.
