[0025] Referring to Figures 1-3 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a high-efficiency falling film heat exchanger for a heat pump system, which includes:
[0026] A main body unit 100, the main body unit 100 includes a shell 101, a first connecting sleeve 102, and a second connecting sleeve 103. Two fixing plates are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell 101. A plurality of heat exchange tubes 1011 are fixedly installed together between the two fixing plates. A liquid inlet pipe 107 is fixedly installed in the inner wall of the shell 101. The lower end of the liquid inlet pipe 107 is fixedly connected to a liquid distribution pipe 1071. A plurality of nozzles 1072 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the liquid distribution pipe 1071 at equal intervals. A liquid baffle 1012 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell 101. A liquid outlet pipe 108 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the shell 101. An air inlet and outlet pipe 109 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the shell 101. A liquid outlet pipe 108 is added at the lower part of the traditional falling film heat exchanger in this device. When used as a condenser, the original air outlet pipe becomes an air inlet pipe, completing the functional transformation from a falling film evaporator to a condenser. Therefore, this device can be used as both an evaporator and a condenser, expanding the application range of the falling film heat exchanger.
[0027] Among them, the first connecting sleeve 102 is fixedly installed at the left end of the shell 101. A partition plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first connecting sleeve 102. A medium discharge pipe 105 and a medium inlet pipe 106 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the side wall of the first connecting sleeve 102. The partition plate is provided to facilitate the medium to flow into the heat exchange tubes 1011.
[0028] Among them, the second connecting sleeve 103 is fixedly installed at the right end of the shell 101. The first connecting sleeve 102 and the second connecting sleeve 103 are connected through the heat exchange tubes 1011, and the medium flows in the heat exchange tubes 1011.
[0029] Among them, an oil return pipe 110 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the shell 101. The oil return pipe 110 is used to connect with an external oil return system. The accumulated refrigerant oil in the falling film heat exchanger is connected to the oil return system of the heat pump system through the oil return pipe 110.
[0030] Among them, one end of the air inlet and outlet pipe 109 is in communication with the inside of the shell 101. The air inlet and outlet pipe 109 is used for the return air of the heat pump system, and air is introduced and exhausted through the air inlet and outlet pipe 109.
[0031] Among them, two support plates 104 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the shell 101, and two mounting holes are symmetrically formed on each support plate 104. The arrangement of the support plates 104 facilitates the installation of the device.
[0032] Working principle: In a heat pump system, when the falling film heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the refrigerant liquid coming from the condenser enters the liquid distribution pipe 1071 through the liquid inlet pipe 107, and is evenly sprayed on the heat exchange pipe 1011 through the spray head 1072. After being heated by the freezing medium inside the heat exchange pipe 1011, it becomes refrigerant gas. The refrigerant gas passes through the liquid baffle 1012 and enters the air inlet and outlet pipe 109 and flows out to the heat pump system for return air. The accumulated refrigeration oil in the falling film heat exchanger is connected to the oil return system of the heat pump system through the oil return pipe 110; when used as an evaporator, the heat pump system closes the liquid outlet pipe 108. When the heat pump system switches between heating and cooling, the falling film heat exchanger changes from an evaporator to a condenser. At this time, the heat pump system closes the liquid inlet pipe 107 and the oil return pipe 110. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas coming from the compressor exhaust enters the air inlet and outlet pipe 109, passes through the liquid baffle 1012 and enters the heat exchange pipe 1011. After being cooled by the cooling medium inside the heat exchange pipe 1011, it becomes refrigerant liquid, and flows out through the liquid outlet pipe 108 and enters the heat pump system; therefore, this device can be used both as an evaporator and as a condenser, expanding the application range of the falling film heat exchanger. The content not described in detail in this description belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
