DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] Example implementations will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example implementations can, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the implementations set forth herein; rather, these implementations are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the inventive aspects of the example implementations to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the several views and the description of the figures, and a repeated description is omitted for clarity.

[0024] The words expressing position and direction described in the present application are illustrated by taking the drawings as an example, but changes can also be made as needed, and the changes made are included in the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1-4 The present application provides a novel refrigerant leakage prevention evaporator for a cold dryer, comprising heat exchange chambers 1, separation chambers 2 and flow-through chambers 3 that are spaced apart from each other, the flow-through chambers 3 have hot air flow channels 4 and dry cold air flow channels 5 inside, high-temperature and high-pressure air sent into the hot air flow channels 4 is sent into first heat exchange channels 11 in the heat exchange chambers 1, and heat exchanged with refrigerants in second heat exchange channels 12 in the heat exchange chambers 1, and then flows into the separation chambers 2 after heat exchange and then passes through the flow-through chambers 3 to output dry cold air.

[0026] The heat exchange chambers are provided with spacing components 6 for heat conduction, the spacing components 6 space the second heat exchange channels 12 and the first heat exchange channels 11. The heat exchange between the mutually spaced relative closed chambers is in the form of heat conduction, and they do not contact each other, and the spacing components 6 are provided, which not only can realize heat conduction, but also effectively avoid the risk of refrigerant leakage in the heat exchange chambers, reduce the possibility of leakage into compressed air, and have higher reliability.

[0027] In one embodiment, the spacing component 6 comprises two heat insulation cavities 61 and a conduction piece 62 separated between the heat insulation cavities 61, and the heat insulation cavities 61 are connected with connecting pieces 63 on the other side of the conduction piece 62, and the connecting pieces 63 and the conduction piece 62 surround the heat insulation cavities 61. The heat insulation cavities 61 on both sides can also be the conduction piece 62, and water is respectively contained in the two heat insulation cavities 61. The material of the conduction piece 62 can be a metal piece or other material with good heat conductivity, and water is sealed between the conduction pieces 62 by a sealing process as a heat conduction medium. In the event of an extreme situation, the refrigerant leakage at one end of the heat exchange chamber 1 is first into the heat insulation cavity 61 on one side, and will not directly leak into the compressed air in the heat exchange chamber 1, causing air pollution.

[0028] In one embodiment, in the flow-through chamber 3, the air flow directions in the hot air flow channel 4 and the dry cold air flow channel 5 are opposite or cross. The air flow directions in the hot air flow channel 4 and the dry air flow channel in the flow-through chamber 3 are opposite, and in operation, the two oppositely flowing fluids have high heat exchange efficiency, which can reduce the temperature of the hot air flow channel 4 when entering, and can also increase the temperature of the low-temperature air flowing out of the dry cold air flow channel 5, so as to avoid excessively low temperature.

[0029] In one embodiment, in the heat exchange chamber 1, the air flow directions in the first channel and the second heat exchange channel 12 are opposite or cross. Similarly, the two oppositely flowing fluids have high heat exchange efficiency.

[0030] In one embodiment, the cold air in the separation chamber 2 flows from bottom to top, and the moisture in the cold air is separated by gravity. The cold air in the separation chamber 2 moves from low to high, and under the action of gravity, the liquid drops in the cold air fall to the bottom of the separation chamber 2, and the remaining gas is sent back to the flow-through chamber 3. The integrated design reduces the floor area of the cold dryer evaporator.

[0031] Referring to Figures 2-4 , the heat exchange chamber 1 is formed with a plurality of uniformly distributed second heat exchange channels 12 and first heat exchange channels 11 alternately distributed. The plurality of second heat exchange channels 12 and first heat exchange channels 11 are alternately distributed, and the second channel and the first channel are always spaced apart by the spacing component 6. By this way, the multi-channel heat exchange mode greatly improves the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the spacing component 6 arranged between the second heat exchange channel 12 and the first heat exchange channel 11 always blocks the two channels and can avoid direct leakage of refrigerant, thereby improving the overall safety and stability of the product.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described above, it should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model. Those skilled in the art can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the utility model, and all these changes should be within the protection scope of the utility model claim.
