[0024] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0025] The anti-condensation device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in Figures 1-3 The anti-condensation device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is used in a refrigeration equipment, and the refrigeration equipment comprises a condenser 2. The anti-condensation device 100 comprises a heat storage layer 1 and a heat pipe 3. The heat storage layer 1 covers at least part of the condenser 2, i.e. at least part of the condenser 2 is located in the heat storage layer 1, so that the condenser 2 transmits heat to the heat storage layer 1. The heat pipe 3 has an evaporation end 31 and a condensation end 32, and the evaporation end 31 of the heat pipe 3 is in contact with the heat storage layer 1.
[0026] Thus, the working medium in the heat pipe 3 absorbs heat of the heat storage layer 1 at the evaporation end 31 to evaporate into a gaseous state. The gaseous working medium releases heat at the condensation end 32 of the heat pipe 3 to prevent the refrigeration equipment from generating condensation. The gaseous working medium condenses into a liquid state at the condensation end 32 of the heat pipe 3, and the liquid working medium returns to the evaporation end 31 of the heat pipe 3 to absorb heat of the heat storage layer 1 again. This cycle continues to continuously prevent the refrigeration equipment from generating condensation.
[0027] The anti-condensation device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application covers at least part of the condenser 2 by the heat storage layer 1, and the evaporation end 31 of the heat pipe 3 is in contact with the heat storage layer 1, so that the heat storage layer 1 can store heat released by the condenser 2 and transmit the heat to the heat pipe 3, and then the condensation end 32 of the heat pipe 3 can heat the refrigeration equipment to prevent the refrigeration equipment from generating condensation.
[0028] Therefore, the anti-condensation device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application has the advantages of not consuming electric energy and reducing energy consumption of the refrigeration equipment.
[0029] The present application also discloses a refrigeration system 1000. As Figures 1-4As shown, the refrigeration system 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application comprises the anti-condensation device 100, the compressor 200, the condenser 2, the throttling device 300 and the evaporator 400. The compressor 200, the condenser 2, the throttling device 300 and the evaporator 400 are sequentially connected end to end so as to form a refrigerant circulation loop.
[0030] Correspondingly, the refrigeration system 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application has the advantages of preventing the refrigeration equipment from generating condensation, low energy consumption and the like.
[0031] The present application also discloses a refrigeration equipment. The refrigeration equipment according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a body and the anti-condensation device 100, and the anti-condensation device 100 is arranged on the body.
[0032] Correspondingly, the refrigeration equipment according to the embodiment of the present application has the advantages of preventing condensation from being generated, low energy consumption and the like.
[0033] Optionally, the body of the refrigeration equipment comprises an outer shell, an inner container and a foaming layer, and the foaming layer is arranged between the outer shell and the inner container. The condensing end 32 of the heat pipe 3 of the anti-condensation device 100 is located in the foaming layer. In this way, the refrigeration equipment can be more effectively prevented from generating condensation.
[0034] Further optionally, the inner container comprises a freezing inner container and a refrigerating inner container, a first part of the foaming layer is located between the freezing inner container and the outer shell, and a second part of the foaming layer is located between the refrigerating inner container and the outer shell. The condensing end 32 of the heat pipe 3 is located in at least one of the first part and the second part of the foaming layer. In this way, the refrigeration equipment can be more effectively prevented from generating condensation.
[0035] For example, the anti-condensation device 100 can comprise a plurality of heat pipes 3, a part of the condensing ends 32 of the heat pipes 3 are located in the first part of the foaming layer, and the condensing ends 32 of another part of the heat pipes 3 are located in the second part of the foaming layer. Alternatively, the heat pipe 3 comprises a plurality of condensing ends 32, a part of the plurality of condensing ends 32 are located in the first part of the foaming layer, and another part of the plurality of condensing ends 32 are located in the second part of the foaming layer.
[0036] As shown, Figures 1-3 The anti-condensation device 100 comprises the heat storage layer 1, the heat pipe 3 and the containing box 4. The containing box 4 has a containing cavity 41, and the heat storage layer 1 is arranged in the containing cavity 41. A part of the condenser 2 is located in the heat storage layer 1, i.e. the part of the condenser 2 is located in the containing cavity 41, so that the heat storage layer 1 covers a part of the condenser 2, and thus the condenser 2 transmits heat to the heat storage layer 1. The heat pipe 3 has the evaporating end 31 and the condensing end 32, and the evaporating end 31 of the heat pipe 3 is located in the heat storage layer 1, i.e. the evaporating end 31 of the heat pipe 3 is located in the containing cavity 41. By arranging the containing box 4 containing the heat storage layer 1, the structure of the anti-condensation device 100 can be more reasonable.
[0037] Moreover, the anti-condensation device 100 utilizes the heat released by the condenser 2 without adversely affecting the refrigerant, and thus without affecting the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigeration equipment. By locating the portion of the condenser 2 within the heat storage layer 1, more heat can be released by the portion of the condenser 2 than if the portion of the condenser 2 were exposed to the air, so as to reduce the condensation temperature of the refrigerant within the condenser 2, and thus to improve the efficiency of the refrigeration system 1000.
[0038] The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant condenses into liquid refrigerant in the condenser 2 and releases heat. Since the portion of the condenser 2 is located within the heat storage layer 1, a portion of the heat released by the refrigerant is stored in the heat storage layer 1. The heat pipe 3 transfers the heat stored in the heat storage layer 1 to the location of the refrigeration equipment where condensation occurs, so as to prevent condensation from occurring.
[0039] Thus, the anti-condensation device 100 can combine the heat pipe 3 and the heat storage layer 1, use the heat stored in the heat storage layer 1 as the heat source of the evaporation end 31 of the heat pipe 3, strengthen the heat transfer of the condenser 2 to the outside, and effectively improve the efficiency of the refrigeration system 1000 and reduce the energy consumption of the refrigeration equipment.
[0040] Optionally, the ratio of the height of the portion of the condenser 2 to the height of the condenser 2 is (0.25-0.35):1. In this way, not only can the heat storage layer 1 store sufficient heat so that the condensation end 32 of the heat pipe 3 can release sufficient heat to prevent condensation from occurring, but also the portion of the condenser 2 can release more heat so as to further reduce the condensation temperature of the refrigerant within the condenser 2 and further improve the efficiency of the refrigeration system 1000.
[0041] Further optionally, the ratio of the height of the portion of the condenser 2 to the height of the condenser 2 is (0.31-0.34):1. In this way, not only can the heat storage layer 1 store sufficient heat so that the condensation end 32 of the heat pipe 3 can release sufficient heat to prevent condensation from occurring, but also the portion of the condenser 2 can release more heat so as to further reduce the condensation temperature of the refrigerant within the condenser 2 and further improve the efficiency of the refrigeration system 1000.
[0042] Optionally, the heat pipe 3 is a gravity heat pipe, and the evaporation end 31 of the heat pipe 3 is located below the condensation end 32 of the heat pipe 3. In this way, the working medium condensed at the condensation end 32 flows back to the evaporation end 31 under the action of its own gravity, so as to absorb the heat of the heat storage layer 1 again. The gravity heat pipe has the advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing difficulty, low manufacturing cost, and good reliability.
[0043] The shell of the heat pipe 3 can be made of aluminum, and the working medium in the heat pipe 3 can be acetone. For example, the shell of the heat pipe 3 can be an aluminum pipe. The phase change heat storage material of the heat storage layer 1 can be paraffin.
[0044] As shown in Figure 2 The accommodating box 4 includes a box body 42 and a box cover 43. The box cover 43 is arranged on the box body 42. The box body 42 and the box cover 43 define an accommodating cavity 41. The heat storage layer 1 is covered by the box cover 43. The box cover 43 is provided with a through hole which is in communication with the accommodating cavity 41. The part of the condenser 2 passes through the through hole so as to extend into the heat storage layer 1 in the accommodating cavity 41.
[0045] By arranging the box cover 43 for covering the heat storage layer 1, not only the heat released from the heat storage layer 1 to the environment can be reduced, but also the air blown by the condenser fan 500 can be prevented from flowing through the heat storage layer 1. The air blown by the condenser fan 500 flowing through the heat storage layer 1 can cause the heat stored in the heat storage layer 1 to be lost quickly. Thus, the heat released from the condenser 2 can be used more efficiently, so that the heat storage layer 1 can provide more heat to the heat pipe 3, thereby preventing the condensation of the refrigeration equipment further.
[0046] Optionally, the wall surface of the accommodating cavity 41 is provided with a heat preservation layer, so as to further reduce the heat released from the heat storage layer 1 to the environment. The outer surface of the accommodating box 4 is provided with a heat preservation layer, so as to further reduce the heat released from the heat storage layer 1 to the environment. In addition, the accommodating box 4 can be made of a heat preservation material, so as to further reduce the heat released from the heat storage layer 1 to the environment.
[0047] As shown in Figure 3 The anti-condensation device 100 further includes a water pan 6. At least a part of the accommodating box 4 is located in the water pan 6. Thus, the structure of the anti-condensation device 100 can be more compact, thereby reducing the space occupied by the anti-condensation device 100.
[0048] The water pan 6 and the condenser 2 are located in the compressor compartment of the refrigeration equipment. Correspondingly, the accommodating box 4, the heat storage layer 1 and the evaporation end 31 of the heat pipe 3 are also located in the compressor compartment of the refrigeration equipment. Thus, the heat pipe 3 can be arranged vertically, thereby facilitating the working medium condensed at the condensation end 32 of the heat pipe 3 to flow back to the evaporation end 31 of the heat pipe 3 under the action of its own gravity.
[0049] As shown in Figure 3 The anti-condensation device 100 further includes a mounting cover 5. The mounting cover 5 is arranged on the water pan 6. The mounting cover 5 has a mounting cavity 54. The condenser 2 and the accommodating box 4 are located in the mounting cavity 54. By arranging the mounting cover 5, the condenser 2 and the accommodating box 4 can be installed more conveniently and more stably.
[0050] As shown in Figure 3As shown in the drawings, the mounting cover 5 comprises a base 55, a first side plate 51, a second side plate 52 and a top plate 53. The base 55 is arranged in the water pan 6, and the containing box 4 is arranged in the base 55. The first side plate 51 is arranged on the base 55, and the first side plate 51 extends upward from the base 55. The second side plate 52 is arranged on the base 55, and the second side plate 52 extends upward from the base 55. The first side plate 51 and the second side plate 52 are oppositely arranged. The top plate 53 is connected with each of the first side plate 51 and the second side plate 52. The mounting cavity 54 is defined between the top plate 53, the first side plate 51, the second side plate 52 and the base 55. Thus, the structure of the mounting cover 5 can be more simple and reasonable.
[0051] Optionally, the first side plate 51 and the second side plate 52 are oppositely arranged in the length direction of the condenser 2. The base 55 can be connected with the water pan 6 through fasteners, so that the mounting cover 5 is more stably mounted on the water pan 6, and the condenser 2 and the containing box 4 are more stably mounted.
[0052] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 The top plate 53 has a first end portion 531 and a second end portion 532 which are oppositely arranged in the length direction of the condenser 2. The first end portion 531 of the top plate 53 is connected with the upper end portion 511 of the first side plate 51, and the second end portion 532 of the top plate 53 is connected with the upper end portion 521 of the second side plate 52, so that the structure of the mounting cover 5 can be more reasonable.
[0053] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 The base 55 has a third side plate and a fourth side plate 551 which are oppositely arranged in the length direction of the condenser 2. The lower end portion of the first side plate 51 is connected with the third side plate, and the lower end portion of the second side plate 52 is connected with the fourth side plate 551. Thus, the structure of the mounting cover 5 can be more reasonable.
[0054] Optionally, the condensing end 32 of the heat pipe 3 penetrates the top plate 53 upward so as to extend out of the mounting cavity 54. That is, the top plate 53 has a through hole, the heat pipe 3 penetrates the through hole of the top plate 53, and the condensing end 32 of the heat pipe 3 is located above the top plate 53, so that the condensing end 32 of the heat pipe 3 extends into the foaming layer.
