Detailed Implementation
[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] This embodiment provides a flow resistance testing device for a heat exchanger. See [link to documentation]. Figure 1 It includes a working fluid temperature control and liquid supply unit 1, a liquid supply pipeline 2, a resistance measuring pipeline and a return liquid pipeline 3. The working fluid temperature control and liquid supply unit 1, the liquid supply pipeline 2, the resistance measuring pipeline and the return liquid pipeline 3 are connected in sequence to form a circulation loop of the heat exchange working fluid. Among them, the front pressure sensor, the heat exchange pipeline of the heat exchanger and the rear pressure sensor are arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the heat exchange working fluid on the resistance measuring pipeline.
[0032] For example, in order to improve the testing efficiency of flow resistance, the number of the above-mentioned flow resistance testing pipes is multiple, for example, 2 to 4, and the multiple flow resistance testing pipes are connected in parallel. In this way, the flow resistance of multiple heat exchangers can be tested simultaneously, effectively improving the testing efficiency of flow resistance.
[0033] During implementation, the working fluid temperature control and supply unit 1 is turned on. The heat exchange working fluid in the working fluid temperature control and supply unit 1 is supplied into the resistance measuring pipeline through the supply pipeline 2. In the resistance measuring pipeline, the heat exchange flows sequentially through the pre-pressure sensor, the heat exchange pipeline and the post-pressure sensor. The pre-pressure sensor detects the pre-pressure before the heat exchange pipeline, and the post-pressure sensor detects the post-pressure after the heat exchange pipeline. The difference between the pre-pressure and the post-pressure is the flow resistance of the heat exchanger.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the flow resistance testing device for heat exchangers provided in this embodiment has several advantages. First, it uses a working fluid temperature-regulating supply unit 1 as the working fluid supply unit for the heat exchange pipeline. The working fluid temperature-regulating supply unit 1 can adjust the temperature of the working fluid so that the flow resistance of the heat exchange pipeline at different temperatures can be measured, thereby achieving comprehensive flow resistance testing and improving the accuracy of flow resistance testing. Second, since the working fluid temperature-regulating supply unit 1, the supply pipeline 2, the resistance measuring pipeline, and the return pipeline 3 are connected in sequence to form a circulation loop for the working fluid, the working fluid passing through the heat exchange pipeline can be circulated back to the working fluid temperature-regulating supply unit 1 and reused after temperature adjustment by the working fluid temperature-regulating supply unit 1, thereby improving the utilization rate of the working fluid. Third, by using multiple resistance measuring pipelines connected in parallel, the flow resistance of multiple heat exchangers can be tested simultaneously, effectively improving the flow resistance testing efficiency.
[0035] For the structure of the working fluid temperature control and supply unit 1, see [link to documentation]. Figure 2 It includes a circulating pump 101, a temperature control assembly 102 (e.g., a shell-and-tube heat exchanger), and a unit filter 103 connected in sequence along the flow direction of the heat exchange medium. The circulating pump 101 can improve the circulation power of the circulation loop and ensure the smooth flow of the heat exchange medium in the circulation loop. The temperature control assembly 102 can effectively regulate the temperature of the heat exchange medium. The unit filter 103 can filter the heat exchange medium discharged from the temperature control assembly 102 and reduce the possibility of blockage in subsequent pipelines.
[0036] In order to know the flow rate of the heat exchange medium in the liquid supply line 2 in real time, the flow resistance testing device of the heat exchanger also includes a liquid supply flow meter 4 installed on the liquid supply line 2, and the flow rate of the heat exchange medium in the liquid supply line 2 is detected in real time by the liquid supply flow meter 4.
[0037] Accordingly, in order to understand the flow rate of the heat exchange medium in the resistance measuring pipeline in real time, the flow resistance testing device of the heat exchanger also includes a resistance measuring flow meter installed on the resistance measuring pipeline, which detects the flow rate of the heat exchange medium in the resistance measuring pipeline in real time.
[0038] It is worth noting that the heat exchange medium may cool down during its flow. In order to understand the actual temperature of the heat exchange medium flowing into the heat exchange pipeline in real time, the flow resistance testing device of the heat exchanger also includes a temperature sensor installed on the resistance measuring pipeline. The temperature sensor can detect the actual temperature of the heat exchange medium in the resistance measuring pipeline in real time.
[0039] Similarly, in order to control the opening and closing of each pipeline, the flow resistance testing device of the heat exchanger also includes a liquid supply valve on the liquid supply pipeline 2 and / or a resistance measuring valve on the resistance measuring pipeline. The liquid supply valve can control the connection or disconnection of the liquid supply pipeline 2, and the resistance measuring valve can control the connection or disconnection of the resistance measuring pipeline.
[0040] For example, along the flow direction of the heat exchange medium, a resistance valve, a resistance flow meter, a temperature sensor, and a pre-pressure sensor are arranged in sequence.
[0041] In order to perform secondary filtration of the heat exchange medium flowing into the resistance testing pipeline, the heat exchanger's flow resistance testing device also includes a liquid supply filter 5 installed on the liquid supply pipeline 2. By installing the liquid supply filter 5, the heat exchange medium flowing into the resistance testing pipeline can be filtered secondary, further reducing the possibility of blockage in subsequent pipelines.
[0042] To facilitate the movement of the flow resistance testing device for the heat exchanger, for example, the working fluid temperature-regulating supply unit 1 is detachably connected to the supply pipeline 2, and the return pipeline 3 is detachably connected to the working fluid temperature-regulating supply unit 1. In this way, the working fluid temperature-regulating supply unit 1 is independently set up from other pipelines. When it is necessary to move the flow resistance testing device of the heat exchanger, the working fluid temperature-regulating supply unit 1 can be separated from the supply pipeline 2 and the return pipeline 3, and the supply pipeline 2 can be connected to the return pipeline 3. This makes the flow resistance testing device of the heat exchanger divided into two independent components, facilitating movement.
[0043] For example, there are two resistance measurement pipelines, namely a first resistance measurement pipeline and a second resistance measurement pipeline. The first resistance measurement pipeline includes a first resistance measurement valve 6, a first resistance measurement flow meter 7, a first temperature sensor 8, a first pre-pressure sensor 9, and a first post-pressure sensor 11 arranged sequentially along the heat exchange medium. The first heat exchanger 10 is located between the first pre-pressure sensor 9 and the first post-pressure sensor 11. Similarly, the second resistance measurement pipeline includes a second resistance measurement valve 12, a second resistance measurement flow meter 13, a second temperature sensor 14, a second pre-pressure sensor 15, and a second post-pressure sensor 17 arranged sequentially along the heat exchange medium. The second heat exchanger 16 is located between the second pre-pressure sensor 15 and the second post-pressure sensor 17.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
