[0003] However, most of the distributors in the prior art are directly connected with the corresponding fluid output pipe, and the fluid directly flows to the distributor, and there is no structure for buffering mixing or turbulence between them, which is not conducive to the uniform distribution of the fluid into each liquid outlet hole of the distributor. INNOVATION
[0004] The utility model discloses a pipe connection assembly for distributor to solve the above problems in the prior art.
[0005] In order to realize the purpose of the utility model, the following technical solutions can be used:

[0007] The pipe connection assembly is used to connect the distributor and the fluid input pipe, the fluid input pipe is used to input the heat exchange medium fluid into the distributor, and the heat exchange medium fluid is evenly distributed to each shunt pipe by the distributor. The main part of the pipe connection assembly is a tubular body, one end of which is open, and the open end is used to connect with the fluid input pipe, and the other end is closed by an end plate. However, the through holes are provided on the closed end to allow the fluid to pass through, and the through holes are provided to promote fluid mixing through turbulence, thereby ensuring that the fluid downstream of the distributor is evenly distributed.
