Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat exchanger technology, and in particular relates to a heat exchanger for a chiller unit. Background Technology
[0002] Heat exchangers are widely used in heating devices, air conditioning units, generators, waste heat recovery devices, etc. In a coil-type heat exchanger, a spirally wound coil is placed inside a tank-like shell, with both ends of the coil exposed to the outside through holes in the shell. Refrigerant or coolant can circulate inside the shell, and vice versa, within the coil. Typically, the coil is fixed by welding, and the strength of the welded parts is relatively weak, making them susceptible to damage during use. In particular, the coil becomes more vulnerable to vibration transmitted from the outside to the shell, and there is a risk of internal liquid leakage to the outside due to damage to the welded joints. Since the coil is welded and fixed to the shell, if the coil is damaged, the heat exchanger must be replaced.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heat exchanger for chiller units to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a heat exchanger for a chiller unit, including a shell 1, a coil 2, and a base 3. The coil 2 is disposed inside the shell 1, and the base 3 is disposed at the lower end of the shell 1. The shell 1 includes a shell body 11, an inlet pipe 12, an outlet pipe 13, a first connecting pipe 14, and a second connecting pipe 15. The inlet pipe 12, the outlet pipe 13, the first connecting pipe 14, and the second connecting pipe 15 are respectively disposed on both sides of the shell body 11. The two ends of the coil 2 extend out of the shell 1, and the end of the coil 2 is provided with a mating part 4.
[0021] The shell 1 is a hollow barrel-shaped structure made of corrosion-resistant metal material.
[0022] The water inlet pipe 12 is located at the lower part of one side of the housing body 11, and the water inlet pipe 12 is connected to the inside of the housing body 11, providing a path for the coolant to enter the housing body 11.
[0023] The water outlet pipe 13 is located on the upper part of one side of the housing body 11, and the water outlet pipe 13 is connected to the inside of the housing body 11, providing a path for the coolant to flow out.
[0024] Furthermore, the inlet pipe 12 and the outlet pipe 13 are located in opposite positions on the housing body 11, that is, the inlet pipe 12 and the outlet pipe can be located on the upper part of one side of the housing body 11 and the lower part of one side of the housing body 11, respectively.
[0025] The first connecting pipe 14 is located on the upper part of the other side of the housing body 11, and the first connecting pipe 14 is connected to the housing body 11. The first connecting pipe 14 provides a path through which the coil 2 can pass.

[0030] The coil 2 is made of titanium, which is corrosion-resistant and has good ductility. Compared to copper, which was previously used, titanium has higher corrosion resistance, extending its service life. When vibration occurs, the ductility of the titanium coil 2 reduces vibration damage to connection points or contact points with other components. Furthermore, titanium's corrosion resistance reduces the degree of corrosion when in contact with refrigerant. Titanium has higher mechanical strength than copper, allowing for a reduction in the thickness of the coil 2, resulting in higher thermal conductivity.
[0031] Furthermore, in order to enhance the strength of the coil 2, a reinforcing layer can be provided on the inner circumferential surface of the coil 2, and the inner diameter of the reinforcing layer is smaller than the inner diameter of the coil 2.

The housing fitting component 41 is disposed between the upper straight portion 22 and the first connecting pipe 14, and between the upper straight portion 22 and the second connecting pipe 15, so that it can seal between the upper straight portion 22 and the first connecting pipe 14, and between the lower straight portion 23 and the second connecting pipe 15. The pipe fitting component 42 is disposed at the ends of the upper straight portion 22 and the lower straight portion 23, and is used to connect with an external refrigerant pipe, so that the upper straight portion 22 and the lower straight portion 23 are sealed with the refrigerant pipe.

[0039] Furthermore, the pipe joint 421 and pipe nut 422 are pressed evenly against both sides of the pipe sealing ring 423, and the pipe sealing ring 423 seals between the upper straight part 22 and the pipe joint 421 and pipe nut 422, as well as between the lower straight part 23 and the pipe joint 421 and pipe nut 422.
