Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cooling system, specifically a two-phase cooling system with Freon dryness control. Background Technology

[0002] In existing cooling systems with Freon refrigeration loads, the Freon return gas is a wet return gas, which contains both gas and liquid phases. The two-phase return gas is directly sent to the condenser. According to the traditional design concept, in order to ensure gas delivery and liquid discharge, the air-cooled condenser usually adopts a bottom air inlet structure. This can easily cause the liquid phase to settle and block the air inlet, affecting the refrigeration operation and heat exchange efficiency. In addition, even if the two phases are separated before being sent to the condenser, if the Freon dryness is insufficient after separation, it will still cause the condenser load energy consumption to increase, affecting the energy efficiency ratio of the cooling system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a two-phase cooling system with simple structure that can effectively ensure stable operation and heat exchange efficiency by controlling the dryness of Freon.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is: a two-phase cooling system for Freon dryness control, including a load return pipe, a load inlet pipe, and an air-cooled condenser. The load return pipe is connected to a two-phase separator via a load inlet, a return pipe temperature sensor, and a return pipe pressure sensor. The gas phase of the two-phase separator is connected to the high-point inlet of the air-cooled condenser via a gas phase pressure sensor and a gas phase temperature sensor. The low-point outlet of the air-cooled condenser is connected to the liquid inlet pipe of a liquid storage tank via a condensate outlet pipe. A condensate outlet temperature sensor, a condensate outlet pressure sensor, and a gas flow sensor are sequentially installed on the condensate outlet pipe. A liquid storage temperature sensor and a liquid storage pressure sensor are sequentially installed on the liquid storage inlet pipe. The bottom of the two-phase separator... A liquid phase bypass is connected to the liquid phase inlet pipe. A shut-off valve, a check valve, and a bypass pump are sequentially installed on the liquid phase bypass pipe. An electric heating belt is installed on the liquid storage tank. The liquid storage tank is connected to the load inlet pipe. A dryer filter, a magnetic pump, a pump post-pump temperature sensor, a pump post-pump pressure sensor, and a total flow sensor are sequentially installed on the load inlet pipe. Two paths branch off from the total flow sensor. One path is a refrigeration regulation line, which is sequentially equipped with a refrigeration regulation valve, a heat exchange coil, and a check valve. The heat exchange coil is placed in the lower liquid phase inside the two-phase separator. The other path is sequentially equipped with an inlet valve, an inlet temperature sensor, and an inlet pressure sensor. The refrigeration regulation line is connected between the inlet valve and the inlet temperature sensor.

[0005] An auxiliary electric heater, a liquid supply temperature sensor, and a liquid supply pressure sensor are sequentially installed after the inlet pipe pressure sensor.

[0006] The load inlet pipe is provided with a bypass branch after the magnetic pump, and the bypass branch is returned to the storage tank via a one-way shut-off valve.

[0007] The bypass branch is set up as one or more.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] 1. The Freon gas-liquid coexisting two phases in the load return pipe are sent to the two-phase separator for separation. The gas phase is sent to the high point inlet of the air-cooled condenser, while the residual liquid phase is sent directly down and sent out from the low point outlet. This also drives the liquid phase after heat exchange and condensation of the gas phase to move down, which helps to ensure the condensing energy efficiency ratio and avoids the problem of liquid phase accumulation and blockage of the gas phase caused by the low point inlet, resulting in a low condensing energy efficiency ratio.

[0010] 2. The liquid phase separated by the two-phase separator does not require a blower-cooled condenser and can be directly sent out of the liquid pipe or into the load pipe, which helps to improve the energy efficiency ratio.

[0011] 3. An electric heating belt is installed on the liquid storage tank, and an auxiliary electric heater is installed after the magnetic pump. The structure of the two ensures accurate liquid supply temperature under load.

[0012] 4. By monitoring the energy consumption of the air-cooled condenser, the dryness of the Freon gas in the air-cooled condenser can be calculated using gas flow sensors and total flow sensors. This allows for control of the opening of the refrigeration regulating valve, which sends the liquid phase through the refrigeration regulating pipeline to the heat exchange coil in the two-phase separator. This improves the separation effect of the gas-liquid coexisting phases in the load return pipe, ensures the dryness of the Freon gas, contributes to the energy saving of the air-cooled condenser, and has a high energy efficiency ratio.

[0013] 5. A bypass branch is set after the magnetic pump in the load inlet pipe, which can return the liquid to the storage tank, meet the needs of liquid supply bypass and pump depressurization, and improve the system's energy efficiency ratio and safety. Attached Figure Description
