Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of absorption heat exchangers, and in particular relates to a heat insulation device for reducing heat transfer loss inside an absorption heat exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] An absorption heat exchanger is a heating technology device based on an absorption cycle, which has begun to be widely used in urban centralized heating systems. An absorption heat exchanger consists of a generator, condenser, evaporator, and absorber; the flow path for high-temperature hot water is generator-evaporator, while the flow path for low-temperature hot water in the heating network is absorber-condenser. The generator is separated from the condenser and evaporator only by a single steel plate. During operation, the high temperature of the hot water flowing into the generator and the relatively low temperature of the condenser and evaporator lead to heat exchange at the contact points, resulting in high-temperature energy loss and reduced heat exchange function and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a heat insulation device that reduces heat transfer loss inside an absorption heat exchanger. It effectively solves the problem of heat transfer between the high-temperature generator and the low-temperature condenser and evaporator, and improves the heat exchange effect of the absorption heat exchanger.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a heat insulation device to reduce heat transfer loss inside an absorption heat exchanger, which includes adding a heat insulation plate between the generator and the condenser and evaporator to form a heat insulation layer, installing a diaphragm valve on the cavity of the heat insulation layer, and the absorption heat exchanger having an automatic vacuum system device, connecting the diaphragm valve of the heat insulation layer to the automatic vacuum system device, thereby forming a vacuum layer inside the heat insulation layer.

[0005] Inside the generator, the lithium bromide solution and high-temperature hot water generally flow in counter-current fashion. The high-temperature hot water flows inside the heat exchange tubes, while the lithium bromide solution is distributed as a falling film outside the tubes. After sufficient heat exchange, the lithium bromide solution collects at the generator's base plate and flows into the absorber through pipes. If the generator and condenser or evaporator are only insulated by a single steel plate, heat will be transferred between the two sides with different temperatures. Adding an insulation layer between the generator and condenser, or between the generator and evaporator, prevents direct contact between the media with different temperatures. A vacuum diaphragm valve is installed in the cavity of the insulation layer, and the air inside the insulation layer is extracted using the vacuum pump of the absorption heat exchanger. A further optimized design for this insulation layer has the advantage of fully utilizing the high vacuum of the insulation layer to reduce heat exchange between the generator and the condenser / evaporator.

[0006] Furthermore, reflective material is added to the surface of the plate inside the insulation layer, and aluminum is plated on the surface of the plate inside the insulation layer to form a thin film. The insulation layer is 30 mm high, and its width and length are related to the body size of the absorption heat pump heat exchanger.

[0007] A vacuum barrier can reduce heat transfer. Heat transfer mainly occurs through three mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation. A vacuum barrier inhibits all three of these heat transfer mechanisms. Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:

[0008] (1) Suppressing heat conduction: Heat conduction requires a medium to transfer heat, but there is almost no medium such as air in the vacuum layer and very few gas molecules, which greatly reduces the path of heat conduction and thus effectively reduces the efficiency of heat conduction.

[0009] (2) Preventing heat convection: Heat convection relies on the macroscopic flow of fluid to transfer heat. In a vacuum environment, there is no fluid, so heat convection cannot be formed, thus preventing heat from being transferred through convection.

[0010] (3) Reduce heat radiation: Although a vacuum cannot completely block heat radiation, most of the heat radiation can be reflected back by adding reflective materials, such as aluminum-plated thin films, to the surface of the partition, thereby reducing the transfer of heat through radiation.

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a heat insulation device for reducing heat transfer loss inside an absorption heat exchanger includes a generator 9, with a heat insulation layer 2 on top and a heat insulation layer 10 below. Before the absorption heat exchanger is manufactured and put into operation, vacuum diaphragm valves 6, 7, and 8 are fully opened. Vacuum diaphragm valve 7 is connected to a vacuum pump or the vacuum system built into the absorption heat exchanger itself, so that the air inside the heat insulation layer 2 and the heat insulation layer 10 is evacuated, forming a vacuum insulation layer. The surfaces of the condenser bottom plate 16, the generator top plate 17, the generator bottom plate 20, and the evaporator top plate 21 are coated with an aluminum-plated thin film.
