Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of refrigeration technology, specifically relating to a low-temperature heat exchanger and a low-temperature thermostat. Background Technology

[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context for the embodiments of this application as set forth in the claims. The description herein is not intended to be a prior art simply because it is included in this section.

[0003] A cryogenic thermostat is a heat exchange device that can provide low and uniform temperatures. It is used to conduct constant temperature tests or examinations on test samples or manufactured products. It can also be used as a cold source for direct refrigeration and auxiliary refrigeration. Cryogenic thermostats have a wide range of applications, including research departments, universities, and enterprise quality control and production departments in fields such as petroleum, chemical, electronic instrumentation, physics, chemistry, bioengineering, medicine and health, life sciences, light industry and food, materials characterization, physical property testing, and chemical analysis.

[0004] Cryostats typically utilize liquid nitrogen or liquid helium as the cryogenic medium, enabling rapid cooling to the liquid nitrogen or liquid helium temperature range. Their working principle involves rapid heat exchange between liquid nitrogen or liquid helium and a cryogenic heat exchanger within the cryostat, lowering the temperature of the cryostat's cold head. A temperature controller, through its internal fuzzy control system, adjusts the heating output power to rapidly change the temperature of the cryostat's cold head within a preset temperature range, such as 4K-350K, and quickly stabilize it at a set value. In some embodiments, if a pressure-reducing device is added to the cryostat, the temperature of the cold head can be lowered to below 4K. Furthermore, because cryostats operate in the ultra-low temperature range, the system has very strict requirements for heat leakage. The size of the cryogenic heat exchanger should not be too large; a more compact structure is better. The heat exchange performance of the cryogenic heat exchanger is crucial to the overall heat exchange efficiency and economy of the cryostat.

It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientations depicted in the figures.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the embodiments and the features in the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0059] Referring to Figure 1 , the figure is a perspective view of a low-temperature heat exchanger provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0060] Referring to Figure 2 , the figure is a cross-sectional view of a heat exchanger core provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0061] Referring to Figure 3 , the figure is a perspective view of a heat exchanger core provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0062] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a low-temperature heat exchanger provided by an embodiment of the present application comprises a heat exchanger core 2, a heat exchanger shell 3 and a cold head 1.

[0063] The heat exchanger core 2 is arranged inside the heat exchanger shell 3, and the cold head 1 is connected to the heat exchanger shell 3.

[0064] The heat exchanger core 2 comprises a first flow channel composed of a plurality of axially extending holes 22 inside the heat exchanger core 2, and an inlet of the first flow channel is used to introduce cooling fluid.

[0065] The heat exchanger core 2 is arranged inside the heat exchanger shell 3, and the cold head 1 is connected to the heat exchanger shell 3.

[0066] The heat exchanger core 2 comprises a through hole 23, which is in communication with an outlet of the first flow channel and an inlet of the second flow channel.

[0067] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the heat exchanger shell 3 is connected to the cold head 1, and the heat exchanger core 2 can also be connected to the cold head 1. The through hole 23 in this embodiment can be located at the end of the heat exchanger core near the cold head. The through hole 23 in this embodiment can be a hole structure that can be located on the heat exchanger core 2, or it can be a gap formed by the heat exchanger core 2 and an adjacent structure, such as the gap between the heat exchanger core 2 and the cold head 1. This embodiment does not limit the scope of the application; any structure that can connect the first flow channel and the second flow channel can achieve the effects mentioned in this application.

[0068] In this embodiment of the application, when the through hole 23 is located at the end of the heat exchanger core near the cold head, such as Figure 4 As shown, the refrigerant enters the cryogenic heat exchanger from the inlet 5 of the first flow channel, flows through the first flow channel, then flows into the second flow channel through the through-hole 23, and exits the cryogenic heat exchanger from the outlet 4 of the second flow channel. As an example, the through-hole 23 can be arranged in the radial direction along the circumference.

[0069] Therefore, the cryogenic heat exchanger provided in this application embodiment adopts a combination of a first flow channel and a second flow channel. The first flow channel consists of multiple axially extending holes, and the second flow channel consists of the surface of a heat exchanger core including multiple protruding structures and the inner surface of a heat exchanger shell. The structure of the first and second flow channels in this application embodiment can increase the heat exchange area between the refrigerant and the cryogenic heat exchanger, which is beneficial to reducing the heat exchange temperature difference between the cryogenic fluid and the cryogenic heat exchanger and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the cryogenic heat exchanger.

[0070] The multiple protrusion structures on the surface of the heat exchanger core in this application embodiment have various possible implementations. The multiple protrusion structures on the surface of the heat exchanger core provided in this application embodiment will be described exemplarily below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the multiple protruding structures 21 in the heat exchanger core include multiple axially extending microribs, which are arranged circumferentially on the surface of the heat exchanger core; two adjacent microribs on the surface of the heat exchanger core and the inner surface of the heat exchanger shell form a sandwich channel 24, and the multiple sandwich channels 24 form a second flow channel. As another possible implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the multiple microribs may also be provided with multiple microrib notches 25 in the axial direction, and the gaps formed by the multiple microrib notches 25 connect multiple interlayer channels 24. In some embodiments, the multiple microribs are provided with microrib notches 25 at the same position in the axial direction.

[0072] It should be noted that the gaps formed by the plurality of micro-rib notches can be connected to the plurality of interlayer channels. In actual applications, because the second channel includes a plurality of interlayer channels, the flow rates of the cooling fluid in different interlayer channels can be quite different, thereby resulting in a lower heat exchange efficiency of the cryogenic heat exchanger. The refrigerant fluid is subjected to multiple flow distribution by the micro-rib notches, which is conducive to uniform distribution of the flow in each flow channel. The uniform distribution of the flow in each flow channel enables sufficient heat exchange between the refrigerant fluid and the heat exchanger core, thereby reducing the temperature of the heat exchanger core. The reduced temperature of the heat exchanger core causes the temperature of the cold head to be correspondingly reduced through the heat conduction between the heat exchanger core and the cold head, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency of the cryogenic heat exchanger.

[0073] The heat exchanger core in the embodiments of the present application has a plurality of possible implementations, which will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , the plurality of axial holes 22 in the heat exchanger core 2 can include a plurality of circular holes. The plurality of axial holes can be uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction. The plurality of axial holes can also be arranged in multiple layers in the radial direction. Because the second flow channel composed of the plurality of axial holes 22 has a large number of micro-flow channels, the contact area between the fluid and the heat exchanger core is large, which can increase the heat exchange area between the refrigerant fluid and the cryogenic heat exchanger, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the cryogenic fluid and the cryogenic heat exchanger and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the cryogenic heat exchanger.

[0075] As shown in Figure 3 , the heat exchanger core in the embodiments of the present application can be a whole. As another possible implementation, as shown in Figure 6 , the heat exchanger core 2 in the embodiments of the present application can also include a heat exchanger outer core 201, a plurality of heat exchanger inner cores 203, and a plurality of inner core separators 202; the surface of the heat exchanger outer core 201 includes a plurality of protruding structures 21, and the surface of the heat exchanger outer core 201 and the inner surface of the heat exchanger shell 3 form a second flow channel; the heat exchanger outer core 201 is internally provided with a cavity, the heat exchanger inner cores 203 and the inner core separators 202 are arranged in the axial direction in the cavity of the heat exchanger outer core 201, and the inner core separators 202 are arranged between two heat exchanger inner cores 203; the heat exchanger inner core 203 includes a plurality of axially extending holes 22, and the inner core separator 202 includes an axially extending cavity. As a possible implementation, the embodiments of the present application can be provided with an inner core separator 202 between two adjacent heat exchanger inner cores 203.

[0076] In the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the inner core 203, the inner core spacer ring 202 and the outer core 201 of the heat exchanger can be assembled into an integrated body by interference fit. As a possible implementation, the inner core 203 of the heat exchanger is provided with a positioning protrusion 204 in the radial direction, and the low-temperature heat exchanger spacer ring 202 can also be provided with a positioning protrusion equivalent to the inner core of the heat exchanger in the radial direction. The outer core 202 of the heat exchanger is provided with a positioning groove 205 on the inner wall, and the positioning groove 205 and the positioning protrusion 204 are embedded with each other. As an example, the axial thickness of the inner core of the heat exchanger is between 2mm-10mm, and the axial thickness of the inner core spacer ring can also be between 2mm-10mm.

[0077] It should be noted that, as Figure 9 As shown, the refrigeration fluid enters the plurality of micro flow channels corresponding to the plurality of hole groups in the inner core 203 of the heat exchanger through the inlet 5 of the first flow channel. Due to the large number of micro flow channels, the contact area is large, and the refrigeration fluid flows through the inner core 203 and the inner core spacer ring 202 alternately, so that the refrigeration fluid is redistributed in the flow process multiple times, so that the flow rate of the refrigeration fluid in each micro flow channel is consistent, that is, the refrigeration fluid and the heat exchanger core can be fully heat exchanged, thereby reducing the temperature of the heat exchanger core. The temperature reduction of the heat exchanger core makes the temperature of the cold head correspondingly reduced through the heat conduction between the heat exchanger core and the cold head, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the low-temperature heat exchanger.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present application, the heat exchanger shell 3 and the outer core 201 of the heat exchanger can be connected with the cold head 1 respectively. As an example, the heat exchanger shell 3, the outer core 201 of the heat exchanger and the cold head 1 can be connected into an integrated structure with a closed space by a welding process.

[0079] In summary, the low-temperature heat exchanger provided by the embodiments of the present application adopts the combination of the first flow channel and the second flow channel, wherein the first flow channel is composed of a plurality of axially extending holes, and the second flow channel is composed of the surface of the heat exchanger core including a plurality of protruding structures and the inner surface of the heat exchanger shell. In the embodiments of the present application, the first flow channel and the second flow channel both include a plurality of micro flow channels. Due to the large number of micro flow channels, the contact area between the fluid and the heat exchanger core is large, which can increase the heat exchange area between the refrigeration fluid and the low-temperature heat exchanger, thereby reducing the heat exchange temperature difference between the low-temperature fluid and the low-temperature heat exchanger and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the low-temperature heat exchanger. Moreover, the inner core spacer ring can be provided to make the flow rate of the refrigeration fluid in each micro flow channel in the first flow channel uniform, and the micro-rib gap can also be provided to make the flow rate of the refrigeration fluid in each micro flow channel in the second flow channel uniform, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the low-temperature heat exchanger.

[0080] According to the low-temperature heat exchanger provided in the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present application also provide a low-temperature thermostat.

[0081] As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 The low-temperature thermostat provided by the embodiments of the present application includes the low-temperature heat exchanger 101 and the constant-temperature pipeline 102 in the above embodiments. The constant-temperature pipeline 102 includes an inner pipeline 112 and an outer pipeline 122 arranged outside the inner pipeline; the inner pipeline 112 is used to introduce cooling fluid into the low-temperature heat exchanger, and the outer pipeline 122 is used to lead out the cooling fluid from the low-temperature heat exchanger 101.

[0082] As shown in Figure 10 The inner pipeline 112 in the embodiments of the present application can be directly connected to the inlet of the first flow channel, and the outer pipeline 122 can be directly connected to the outlet of the second flow channel. As another possible implementation, as shown in Figure 12 The inner pipeline 112 in the embodiments of the present application can also be connected to the inlet of the first flow channel through a hose, and the outer pipeline 122 can be connected to the outlet of the second flow channel through a hose.
