TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a high viscosity fluid temperature measuring device, especially relate to a kind of for the temperature uniformity improvement and measuring device of high viscosity fluid after passing through uneven heat exchange. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of automotive air conditioning and thermal management, some manufacturers pay more and more attention to the performance of heat exchanger when air conditioning heat pump operates, and even study the performance under extreme climate conditions. Under extremely low temperature environment, the viscosity of various media in the automobile, such as antifreeze and lubricating oil, will rise sharply, the heat exchange performance will become poor, and the fluid temperature is very uneven. Therefore, many manufacturers pay attention to the performance of heat exchanger at low temperature.
[0003] For the research on the heat exchange performance of heat exchanger, it is necessary to measure and control the inlet temperature of the fluid of the heat exchanger and measure the outlet temperature. For the medium heated or cooled by the heat exchanger, the temperature is necessarily uneven. However, when the viscosity of the medium is small (such as water and glycol solution at normal temperature), the temperature of the fluid in the pipe can be made uniform by a long straight pipe section, elbows and pipe diameter reduction. However, when the viscosity of the medium is high (such as lubricating oil and glycol solution at low temperature), the fluid in the pipe is in a laminar flow state due to the low flow rate of the fluid. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the temperature measurement of the fluid in the pipe by the above-mentioned methods. Therefore, it is of great significance to solve the uniformity of the temperature mixing of high viscosity fluid and the accuracy of the temperature measurement for the performance research of some heat exchangers under extreme conditions.
[0004] Chinese patent CN201310140184.7 discloses a high viscosity fluid mixer, which comprises a variable diameter flow channel, a rotary twist flow divider and an axial flow guide. The variable diameter flow channel is composed of a constant diameter section, a transition cone section and a reduced diameter section. The rotary twist flow divider is provided with a conical flow divider disc which is fitted in the transition cone section. A bearing is arranged between the conical flow divider disc and the transition cone section. A conical flow channel is arranged on the conical flow divider disc, and the small end of the conical flow channel points to the reduced diameter section. A shaft is fixedly connected to the axis of the conical flow divider disc. An annular rotary flow channel coaxial with the shaft is arranged in the constant diameter section. A helical blade is fixedly connected between the rotary flow channel and the shaft. The shaft is fitted in the core pipe of the axial flow guide through a shaft sleeve. A conical cap is arranged at the reverse flow end of the core pipe. An annular fixed flow channel is fixedly connected in the constant diameter section. An axial extension flow guide plate is fixedly connected between the core pipe and the annular fixed flow channel. The high viscosity fluid can be maximized to retain the viscosity, and the structure is simple and easy to implement, which is suitable for popularization and application. However, the scheme cannot effectively monitor the temperature of high viscosity fluid, and cannot be used for the research on the heat exchange performance of heat exchanger. SUMMARY
