[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the low-temperature unit comprises an absorption unit 1, a compressor 2, a siphon evaporator 3, a throttling component 4 and a gas-liquid separator 301. Figure 1The utility model discloses a low temperature unit, including absorption unit 1 and compressor unit, and compressor unit at least includes compressor 2, siphon evaporimeter 3 and throttling component 4, and compressor 2 is single stage compressor or two stage compressor, and throttling component 4 is throttle valve, and siphon evaporimeter 3 includes gas -liquid separator 301 and evaporimeter 302 that are communicated by pipeline, and gas -liquid separator 301 is located above evaporimeter 302, and the liquid state of gas -liquid separator 301 is communicated to the pipe pass inlet of evaporimeter 302 through pipeline, and the pipe pass outlet of evaporimeter 302 is communicated to the gaseous part of gas -liquid separator 301 through pipeline, and the shell pass of evaporimeter 302 is the refrigerated water to be prepared, and thus, the shell pass of evaporimeter 302 is equipped with refrigerated water inlet and refrigerated water outlet, and the pipe pass of evaporimeter 302 is refrigerant, and the refrigerant is freon or R507a, the heat exchange pipeline of compressor 2, absorption unit 1, throttling component 4 and the pipe pass of siphon evaporimeter 3 are sequentially communicated through pipeline and form the main circulation loop of refrigerant to prepare low temperature refrigerated water.

[0019] The refrigerant liquid after throttling through throttling component 4, due to pressure drop, temperature reduces greatly, and enters gas -liquid separator 301 in the form of gas -liquid two -phase, and when working, the liquid refrigerant maintains certain static liquid pressure, and supplies liquid to evaporimeter 302 by virtue of gravity, and the liquid refrigerant absorbs the heat of refrigerated water in the pipe pass of evaporimeter 302, and itself is partially gasified, and makes the liquid of the inlet and outlet of evaporimeter 302 produce density difference, and the density difference produces power, and makes the mass flow rate and circulation ratio of refrigerant in the pipe pass of evaporimeter 302 improve, and this is thermal siphon effect, and improves the heat exchange effect and efficiency of refrigerant and refrigerated water, and this scheme is applicable to the heat exchange of medium -large -scale high viscosity fluid, and realizes the purpose of preparing refrigerated water below-30 DEG C by single compressor.

[0020] Specifically, compressor 2 is electric drive type compressor or steam drive type compressor, wherein, electric drive type compressor uses motor as power source, has high energy efficiency ratio, can start and stop quickly, and can adjust output according to demand, has good speed regulation performance etc., steam drive type compressor provides power through steam turbine or engine, especially when the occasion itself produces a large amount of waste heat or steam, steam drive compressor can effectively utilize these resources, improve overall energy utilization rate, according to the use place, selects the corresponding driving mode, improves the flexibility of use.

[0021] The absorption unit 1 comprises an absorber, a generator, a condenser and a coupled evaporator.

The condenser is connected with a cooling water outlet. The working principle of the absorption unit is as follows: the heat exchange pipeline in the generator can be communicated with the external high-temperature driving heat source. In the embodiment, the external heat source is waste heat above 70 DEG C. Under the action of the high-temperature driving heat source, part of the cold agent in the dilute solution flowing back to the generator is evaporated to form cold agent steam, which becomes a concentrated solution and enters the absorber again. The heat released by the dilute solution in the absorber is absorbed by the cooling water in the heat exchange pipeline in the absorber, so as to ensure the absorption capacity of the concentrated solution. The dilute solution after being diluted in the absorber returns to the generator again through a pipeline. The cold agent steam evaporated from the generator is condensed in the condenser to form cold agent water, which is supplied to the coupled evaporator for evaporation to generate the cold agent steam required by the absorber. In the embodiment, the heat exchange pipeline is a first heat exchange pipeline in the coupled evaporator. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant medium discharged from the compressor 2 can heat the cold agent in the coupled evaporator to produce the steam required by the absorber when flowing through the first heat exchange pipeline, so as to improve the heat utilization rate. The steam generated by the coupled evaporator is introduced into the absorber and is absorbed by the concentrated solution.

The economizer 5 can optimize the circulation process of the refrigerant, so that the evaporation of the refrigerant in the evaporator 302 is more sufficient, thereby realizing the production of low-temperature chilled water. The economizer 5 is connected with the air supplementing port of the compressor 2 through a pipeline. The air supplementing port can improve the performance of the compressor 2, improve the refrigerating capacity, and reduce the exhaust temperature of the compressor 2, so as to improve the reliability and stability of the whole unit.
