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 Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an improved heat pump dehumidification circulation heat exchange device, comprising a body 1, with an air inlet 2 and an air outlet 3 at its two ends, respectively. Filter bags 19 are provided on the inner sides of both the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 3. A blower 4, a surface cooler 8, a heat exchange mechanism 20, and a U-shaped dehumidification heat pipe assembly are fixedly installed inside the body 1. Figure 1 As shown.
[0021] Apart from the U-shaped dehumidifying heat pipe assembly, the other components inside the unit 1 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The U-shaped dehumidifying heat pipe assembly will be described in detail below.
[0022] The U-shaped dehumidification heat pipe assembly includes an evaporator precooler 5 and a heat pipe condenser reheater 6. A side guard plate 7 is fixedly installed on the front side of the evaporator precooler 5 and the heat pipe condenser reheater 6. A surface cooler 8 is located in the area between the evaporator precooler 5 and the heat pipe condenser reheater 6.
[0023] The first heat pipe 9 is fixedly installed inside the evaporator precooler 5, the second heat pipe 10 is fixedly installed inside the heat pipe condenser reheater 6, and the evaporator 11 and the return pipe 12 are fixedly installed inside the side guard plate 7 respectively. The first heat pipe 9 and the second heat pipe 10 are connected through the evaporator 11 and the return pipe 12.
[0024] Specifically, the evaporator precooler 5 and the heat pipe condenser reheater 6 have the same structure, both including a frame 13. Several heat-conducting plates 14 are fixedly installed inside the frame 13. The first heat pipe 9 or the second heat pipe 10 passes through the front and rear sides of the frame 13, and the first heat pipe 9 or the second heat pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the heat-conducting plates 14.
[0025] The evaporator precooler 5 has a first drain pipe 15 fixedly installed inside, and a first tee pipe 16 fixedly installed on the rear side of the frame 13 of the evaporator precooler 5. The rear end of the first drain pipe 15 is connected to the first tee pipe 16. There are two first heat pipes 9, and the rear ends of the two first heat pipes 9 are connected to the first tee pipe 16.
[0026] The heat pipe condenser reheater 6 has a second drain pipe 17 fixedly installed inside, and a second tee pipe 18 fixedly installed on the rear side of the frame 13 of the heat pipe condenser reheater 6. The rear end of the second drain pipe 17 is connected to the second tee pipe 18. There are two second heat pipes 10, and the rear ends of both second heat pipes 10 are connected to the second tee pipe 18.
[0027] There are two evaporator tubes 11. The two ends of the two evaporator tubes 11 are fixedly connected and connected to the front ends of the two first heat pipes 9 and the two second heat pipes 10, respectively. The two ends of the return pipe 12 are fixedly connected and connected to the front ends of the first guide pipe 15 and the second guide pipe 17, respectively.
[0028] Heat pipe principle:
[0029] In the U-shaped dehumidifying heat pipe assembly, after the first heat pipe 9, the second heat pipe 10, the evaporator 11, the return pipe 12, the first drain pipe 15, and the second drain pipe 17 are evacuated to a high vacuum state, an appropriate amount of environmentally friendly refrigerant is filled in. The refrigerant inside the pipe senses the external temperature difference, and the refrigerant on the high-temperature side evaporates and vaporizes (the high-temperature side refers to the side of the evaporator precooler 5), transferring heat to the low-temperature side to release heat and forming a liquid state (the low-temperature side refers to the side of the heat pipe condenser reheater 6). At the same time, it relies on its own gravity and capillary force to carry the cold energy on the low-temperature side to the high-temperature side to release the cold energy, thus continuously evaporating and condensing, so that energy is transferred uninterruptedly. This process does not require external kinetic energy assistance and relies entirely on the phase change of the refrigerant itself for energy transfer.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the fresh air or the high-temperature and high-humidity air mixed with fresh and return air entering the unit 1 first passes through the first heat pipe 9 of the evaporative precooler 5 for precooling and cooling, which lowers the temperature and increases the relative humidity. Then it passes through the surface cooler 8 for deep cooling and dehumidification. Since the dehumidification process is a cooling process, the air temperature after passing through the surface cooler is too low and needs to be heated before it can be delivered. Therefore, it passes through the second heat pipe 10 of the heat pipe condenser reheater 6 for reheating and heating, which raises the air temperature and lowers the relative humidity (generally the relative humidity is 60%), thus completing the entire air handling process.
[0031] This improved heat pump dehumidification circulation heat exchange device has a first heat pipe 9 and a second heat pipe 10 installed in the evaporator precooler 5 and the heat pipe condenser reheater 6, respectively. The first heat pipe 9 and the second heat pipe 10 are connected by an evaporator pipe 11 and a return pipe 12. The refrigerant in the first heat pipe 9 absorbs heat and evaporates, entering the second heat pipe 10 along the evaporator pipe 11. Heat is released at the second heat pipe 10, reheating the air that has undergone deep cooling and dehumidification by the surface cooler 8. Then, the refrigerant liquefies and is introduced into the first heat pipe 9 along the return pipe 12, realizing the heat transfer circulation between the front and rear sides of the surface cooler 8. The flow direction of the refrigerant is as follows: Figure 4 As indicated by the dashed arrow.
[0032] By setting up two evaporation pipes 11 and one return pipe 12, the first heat pipe 9 and the second heat pipe 10 are connected. The refrigerant in the first heat pipe 9 evaporates and vaporizes, and the volume of the evaporated and vaporized refrigerant increases. It enters the second heat pipe 10 through the two evaporation pipes 11 in parallel, ensuring its smooth flow. After the refrigerant in the second heat pipe 10 releases heat, it forms a liquid and flows back into the first heat pipe 9 along the return pipe 12, which greatly improves the efficiency of refrigerant circulation and enhances the heat transfer capacity.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
