Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chiller technology, specifically to an integrated evaporator screw falling film chiller. Background Technology

[0002] Chillers are common refrigeration equipment that play an important role in industrial production and commercial buildings. They use water as the cooling medium and transfer heat from a low-temperature environment to a high-temperature environment through a refrigeration cycle, thus producing chilled water. Simply put, it's like a large "refrigeration plant" capable of producing large quantities of chilled water to meet the cooling needs of various locations.

[0003] Traditional chiller units have some shortcomings in the evaporation process. The condenser structure design of existing chiller units is unreasonable. When the refrigerant enters the condenser tubes along the pipes, more refrigerant enters the evaporator tubes near the liquid inlet, while less refrigerant enters the condenser tubes farther from the liquid inlet. This leads to uneven distribution of refrigerant in the condenser, resulting in low condensation efficiency and affecting the overall cooling performance of the unit. At the same time, the various components of traditional chiller units are often scattered, occupying a large area, with high installation and maintenance costs. Moreover, the connecting pipes between components are long, resulting in a certain amount of cooling loss. To address these issues, an integrated evaporator screw falling film chiller unit is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0029] In this embodiment, the motor 12 drives the first gear 13 to rotate, causing the second gear 14 and the third gear 16 meshing with the first gear to rotate. Under the action of the second gear 14, the large screw 15 fixedly connected to it rotates, drawing the refrigerant in the storage tank 24 into the first compression chamber 18 along the pipeline. Subsequently, under the action of the third gear 16 driving the small screw 17 to rotate, the refrigerant is drawn from the first compression chamber 18 into the second compression chamber 19 to compress the refrigerant. The compressed refrigerant then enters the diversion port 34 along the pipeline.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] like Figure 1-7As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, it includes a screw compression mechanism installed inside a fixed frame, the screw compression mechanism including a mounting housing 11, a motor 12 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting housing 11, and a first gear 13 fixedly connected to one end of the motor 12 shaft; a falling film evaporation mechanism installed inside the fixed frame, the falling film evaporation mechanism including an evaporation chamber 21, a distributor 22 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the evaporation chamber 21, and an evaporation tube 23 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the distributor 22; a condensation mechanism installed inside the fixed frame, the condensation mechanism including a mounting box 31, a cooling fan 32 provided on one side of the inner cavity of the mounting box 31, and a first distribution cavity 33 fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the mounting box 31; the screw compression mechanism also includes a second gear 14, the surface of the second gear 14 meshing with the surface of the first gear 13; the first... A large screw 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the second gear 14.

One end of the first compression chamber 18 is connected to one end of the second compression chamber 19. One end of the large screw 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first compression chamber 18. A third gear 16 meshes with the surface of the first gear 13. A small screw 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the third gear 16. One end of the small screw 17 is rotatably connected to one end of the inner cavity of the second compression chamber 19. The falling film evaporation mechanism also includes a storage tank 24. The inner cavity of the storage tank 24 is connected to the interior of the evaporation chamber 21. A water inlet 25 is provided on one side of the upper end of the inner cavity of the evaporation chamber 21, and a water outlet 26 is provided on one side of the lower end of the inner cavity of the evaporation chamber 21. A partition plate is provided on the lower end of the evaporation tube 23 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the evaporation chamber 21.

[0032] In this embodiment, as the refrigerant flows through the evaporator tube 23, the water to be cooled enters the evaporator chamber 21 from the inlet 25. The water flows between the surface of the evaporator tube 23 and the interior of the evaporator chamber 21, indirectly contacting the refrigerant inside the evaporator tube 23. Thus, the refrigerant cools the water. The cooled water flows out from the outlet 26. The refrigerant that has absorbed heat from the water and evaporated enters the storage tank 24 and is then drawn back into the screw compressor mechanism for the next round of compression, thereby achieving continuous cooling of the water.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] like Figure 1-7As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, it includes a screw compression mechanism installed inside a fixed frame, the screw compression mechanism including a mounting housing 11, a motor 12 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting housing 11, and a first gear 13 fixedly connected to one end of the motor 12 shaft; a falling film evaporation mechanism installed inside the fixed frame, the falling film evaporation mechanism including an evaporation chamber 21, a distributor 22 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the evaporation chamber 21, and an evaporation tube 23 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the distributor 22; and a condensation mechanism installed inside the fixed frame, the condensation mechanism including a mounting box 31, a cooling fan 32 provided on one side of the inner cavity of the mounting box 31, and a condensation fan 32 installed inside the fixed frame. The top of the inner cavity of the packaging 31 is fixedly connected to the first diversion chamber 33. The condensation mechanism also includes a diversion port 34. A diversion pipe 35 is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the diversion port 34. A condensing pipe 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the first diversion chamber 33. A collection chamber 37 is provided at the lower end of the condensing pipe 36. A connection port 38 is provided on one side of the lower end of the inner cavity of the collection chamber 37.

One side of the inner cavity of the second compression chamber 19 is connected to the inside of the diversion port 34 through a pipe.

[0035] In this embodiment, under the action of the diversion pipe 35 on one side of the inner cavity of the diversion port 34, the refrigerant enters the first diversion cavity 33 through the small holes on the surface of the diversion pipe 35, thereby improving the uniformity of the refrigerant entering the condenser tube 36 and thus improving the condensation effect. During condensation, the cooling fan 32 is started, so that the outside air is filtered by the filter plate on one side of the mounting box 31 and continuously blown onto the surface of the condenser tube 36 to cool down the refrigerant in the condenser tube 36 and condense it into a liquid. Then, the refrigerant enters the evaporation chamber 21 after being throttled by the throttling device 310 along the return pipe 39.

[0036] The working principle of this integrated evaporative screw falling film chiller unit will be explained in detail below.

[0037] like Figure 1-7As shown, during operation, motor 12 drives the first gear 13 to rotate, causing the second gear 14 and the third gear 16, which mesh with the first gear, to rotate. Under the action of the second gear 14, the large screw 15, which is fixedly connected to it, rotates, drawing the refrigerant from the storage tank 24 into the first compression chamber 18 along the pipeline. Subsequently, under the action of the third gear 16 driving the small screw 17 to rotate, the refrigerant is drawn from the first compression chamber 18 into the second compression chamber 19, where it is compressed. The compressed refrigerant then enters the distribution port 34 along the pipeline. Under the action of the distribution pipe 35 on one side of the inner cavity of the distribution port 34, the refrigerant enters the first distribution chamber 33 along the small holes on the surface of the distribution pipe 35, improving the uniformity of the refrigerant entering the condenser pipe 36, thereby improving the condensation effect. During condensation... The cooling fan 32 is started, so that the outside air is filtered by the filter plate on one side of the mounting box 31 and continuously blown onto the surface of the condenser tube 36 to cool the refrigerant in the condenser tube 36 and condense it into liquid. Then, the refrigerant enters the evaporator chamber 21 after being throttled by the throttling device 310 along the return pipe 39. When it flows through the evaporator tube 23, the water to be cooled enters the evaporator chamber 21 from the inlet 25. It flows between the surface of the evaporator tube 23 and the inside of the evaporator chamber 21 and indirectly contacts the refrigerant in the evaporator tube 23. Thus, the water to be cooled is cooled by the refrigerant. The cooled water flows out from the outlet 26. The refrigerant that has absorbed heat from the water and evaporated enters the storage tank 24 and is sucked back into the screw compressor mechanism for the next round of compression, thus achieving continuous cooling of the water.

[0038] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
