Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to evaporator technical field, specifically belongs to a kind of refrigeration type drying machine evaporator energy-saving heat preservation structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Refrigeration type drying machine is referred to as cold dryer, and evaporator is the main heat exchange component of the cold dryer. Compressed air is forcedly cooled in the evaporator, and most of the water vapor is condensed into liquid water and discharged outside the machine, so that the compressed air is dried. In the evaporator, the convective heat exchange between air and low-pressure steam is carried out. The low-pressure refrigerant liquid after throttling device changes into low-pressure refrigerant steam in the evaporator, and absorbs the surrounding heat in the phase change process, so that the compressed air is cooled.

[0003] To ensure the working performance of the evaporator, the evaporator needs to be heat-insulated. There are two common heat-insulation methods in the existing technology of refrigeration type drying machine industry. One is to install the evaporator in a foam box. The foam box and the evaporator cannot be completely attached, and there is air between the foam box and the evaporator. The cold energy is radiated through the air. The other is to wrap the evaporator with rubber plastic insulation cotton and bond it with glue. The rubber plastic insulation cotton has micropores and cannot be completely attached to the evaporator, forming some air-filled cavities. The cold energy is radiated to the outside through the air in the cavities. At the same time, the rubber plastic insulation cotton absorbs the moisture in the air, affecting the heat-insulation effect. Therefore, the heat-insulation of the evaporator in the existing technology is not sufficient and needs to be improved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0007] The evaporator side is provided with a fixing column extending out of the sealing box, and the fixing column is provided with a threaded hole for connecting a heat-insulating bolt to install and fix the evaporator. The heat-insulating bolt is used to fix the evaporator, reducing the loss of cold energy in the evaporator through the connecting structure. At the same time, condensate water is avoided on the connecting structure.

[0008] The gap baffle is closely sleeved on the pipe orifice, and one side of the gap baffle is closely attached to the sealing box, so as to block the gap between the pipe orifice and the pipe.
