AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing heat pump refrigerant distribution structures, the wall of the mixing chamber is a concave arc surface, which easily generates eddies, resulting in high noise levels.

Method used

The mixing chamber is composed of a frustum-shaped branch body and a conical branch body. The branch channel is connected to the mixing chamber. The cone angle of the conical branch body is equal to that of the frustum-shaped branch body. The included angle of the axis of the branch channel is 16 degrees to 36 degrees. The refrigerant is compressed and accelerated when it flows in the mixing chamber.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents eddy currents, reduces noise, and achieves uniform refrigerant mixing and fast flow rate.

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a heat pump, and more particularly to a refrigerant distribution system. Background Technology

[0002] The existing technology, as described in Chinese patent 201821347685.7, involves a novel distribution structure and air conditioner. This novel distribution structure has a first distribution body and a second distribution body sequentially arranged in the refrigerant flow direction, connected to each other. The first distribution body contains a mixing chamber with a concave arc surface as its wall. The problem is that the concave arc surface of the mixing chamber easily generates eddies, resulting in high noise levels. Utility Model Content
