Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a finned heat exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] A finned heat exchanger is a device that increases heat exchange efficiency by increasing the heat exchange area. It mainly consists of components such as heat exchange tube assemblies, distributors, and subcooling tube assemblies. When the finned heat exchanger functions as an evaporator, the refrigerant passes sequentially through the subcooling tube assemblies, distributor, and heat exchange tube assemblies, thereby achieving the refrigeration function.

[0003] However, traditional finned heat exchangers have design limitations. The flow path within their heat exchange tube bundles is relatively simple, resulting in high local resistance. This leads to an increase in the overall pressure drop of the finned heat exchanger, ultimately affecting the unit's performance and causing it to perform poorly. Utility Model Content

[0026] When the finned heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the refrigerant passes sequentially through the subcooling pipe assembly and distributor before reaching the first main flow path. The refrigerant in the first main flow path is then split in two: one part flows into the first branch flow path, and the other into the second branch flow path. This reduces local resistance during refrigerant flow, resulting in an overall lower pressure drop across the heat exchanger flow paths and thus improving unit performance. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the first main flow path, the first branch flow path, and the second branch flow path creates an installation space, within which the subcooling pipe assembly is housed. This saves internal space within the heat exchanger, resulting in a compact structural layout and a reduced overall size of the finned heat exchanger. Attached Figure Description

[0040] As described in the background section, traditional finned heat exchangers have design limitations. The flow path within their heat exchange tube bundles is relatively simple, resulting in high local resistance. This leads to an increase in the overall pressure drop of the finned heat exchanger, ultimately affecting the unit's performance and causing it to perform poorly.

[0041] Based on this, please refer to Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a finned heat exchanger 100, which can effectively improve the aforementioned technical problems, namely, it can reduce the pressure drop in the heat exchanger flow path and improve the performance of the unit. The finned heat exchanger 100 will be described in detail below.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the finned heat exchanger 100 provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A magnified view of a section at point A, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2The finned heat exchanger 100 includes a distributor 10, a first heat exchange tube assembly 20, and a subcooling tube assembly 40. The first heat exchange tube assembly 20 includes a first main flow path 21, a first branch flow path 22, and a second branch flow path 23. One end of the first main flow path 21 is connected to the distributor 10, and the other end is connected to both the first branch flow path 22 and the second branch flow path 23. An installation space 30 is formed between the first main flow path 21, the first branch flow path 22, and the second branch flow path 23. The subcooling tube assembly 40 is connected to the distributor 10 and is located within the installation space 30.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This embodiment provides a schematic diagram of the finned heat exchanger 100 as an evaporator, in conjunction with... Figures 1-3 When the finned heat exchanger 100 functions as an evaporator, the refrigerant sequentially passes through the subcooling pipe assembly 40 and the distributor 10, then reaches the first main flow path 21. The refrigerant in the first main flow path 21 is then divided into two parts: one flows to the first branch flow path 22, and the other flows to the second branch flow path 23. This reduces local resistance during refrigerant flow, lowers the overall pressure drop across the heat exchanger flow paths, and improves unit performance. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the first main flow path 21, the first branch flow path 22, and the second branch flow path 23 forms an installation space 30, within which the subcooling pipe assembly 40 is housed. This saves internal space in the heat exchanger, resulting in a compact layout and reducing the overall volume of the finned heat exchanger 100.

[0044] Please continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first branch pipe flow path 22 and the second branch pipe flow path 23 are spaced apart along a first direction. The first main pipe flow path 21 and the subcooling pipe assembly 40 are spaced apart along the first direction. The subcooling pipe assembly 40 and the second branch pipe flow path 23 are spaced apart along a second direction. The first main pipe flow path 21 and the subcooling pipe assembly 40 are located on the same side of the first branch pipe flow path 22 and the second branch pipe flow path 23, and the first main pipe flow path 21 and the first branch pipe flow path 22 are arranged correspondingly, and the subcooling pipe assembly 40 and the second branch pipe flow path 23 are arranged correspondingly. The first direction and the second direction form an angle.

[0045] It should be noted that the first direction mentioned above refers to... Figure 1 The X direction is shown in the figure, and the second direction is... Figure 1 The Y direction is shown in the figure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, that is, the angle between the two is 90°; of course, in other embodiments, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can also be an acute angle or an obtuse angle.

[0046] like Figure 2As shown, the arrangement of the first main flow path 21, the first branch flow path 22, the second branch flow path 23 and the subcooling tube group 40 makes the installation position of each structure more compact, makes full use of the space inside the heat exchanger, further reduces the overall volume of the finned heat exchanger 100, and thus reduces the production cost.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first main flow path 21 includes a plurality of first heat exchange tubes 211 connected in sequence. The plurality of first heat exchange tubes 211 are arranged in sequence along the first direction, making the arrangement of the plurality of first heat exchange tubes 211 compact, which can reduce the overall size of the heat exchanger in the second direction, thereby saving internal space of the heat exchanger. In addition, since the refrigerant, after passing through the distributor 10, first enters the plurality of first heat exchange tubes 211 in sequence, and then splits into two to enter the first branch flow path 22 and the second branch flow path 23 respectively, the flow path of the refrigerant in the first heat exchange tube group 20 can be extended, thereby improving the heat exchange and cooling effect.

[0048] Optionally, the first branch pipe flow path 22 includes a plurality of second heat exchange tubes 221 connected in sequence, and the plurality of second heat exchange tubes 221 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. In this embodiment, the plurality of second heat exchange tubes 221 and the plurality of first heat exchange tubes 211 are arranged sequentially in the first direction, and the two are correspondingly arranged in the second direction, thereby reducing the overall size of the heat exchanger in the second direction and saving internal space of the heat exchanger.

[0049] Optionally, the second branch flow path 23 includes a plurality of third heat exchange tubes 231 connected in sequence, and the plurality of third heat exchange tubes 231 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. In this embodiment, the plurality of third heat exchange tubes 231, the plurality of second heat exchange tubes 221 and the plurality of first heat exchange tubes 211 are all arranged sequentially in the first direction, and the plurality of third heat exchange tubes 231 and the plurality of second heat exchange tubes 221 are spaced apart in the first direction, thereby reducing the overall size of the heat exchanger in the second direction and saving internal space of the heat exchanger.

[0050] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the plurality of second heat exchange tubes 221 are arranged in two groups. The plurality of second heat exchange tubes 221 in the first group, the plurality of second heat exchange tubes 221 in the second group, and the plurality of first heat exchange tubes 211 are arranged sequentially along the second direction, which makes the internal space layout of the heat exchanger more compact, saves space, and reduces the overall volume of the finned heat exchanger 100. Similarly, the plurality of third heat exchange tubes 231 are also arranged in two groups. The plurality of third heat exchange tubes 231 in the first group, the plurality of third heat exchange tubes 231 in the second group, and the subcooling tube group 40 are arranged sequentially along the second direction, which also makes the internal space layout of the heat exchanger more compact, thereby saving space and reducing the overall volume of the finned heat exchanger 100.

[0051] Please continue to combine Figure 2 Specifically, the subcooling pipe assembly 40 includes a first manifold 41, a first subcooling flow path 42, a second subcooling flow path 43, and a second manifold 44. The first manifold 41 is connected to the distributor 10. One end of the first subcooling flow path 42 and the second subcooling flow path 43 are both connected to the first manifold 41, and the other end of the first subcooling flow path 42 and the second subcooling flow path 43 are both connected to the second manifold 44. At least a portion of the first subcooling flow path 42 and the second subcooling flow path 43 are located within the installation space 30.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the finned heat exchanger 100 provided in this embodiment as a condenser, combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the finned heat exchanger 100 is used as a condenser, the refrigerant passes sequentially through the first heat exchange tube group 20 and the distributor 10, and enters the first manifold 41. The refrigerant passing through the first manifold 41 is then divided into two parts: one part flows to the first subcooling path 42, and the other part flows to the second subcooling path 43, before converging into the second manifold 44. By also configuring the subcooling tube group 40 as a bisected flow path, secondary subcooling is facilitated, improving the cooling effect and reducing the pressure drop in the heat exchanger flow path, further enhancing the unit's performance. Furthermore, when the finned heat exchanger 100 is used as a condenser, the refrigerant passing through the distributor 10 before entering the corresponding flow path facilitates defrosting, and the larger refrigerant flow rate at the bottom of the finned heat exchanger 100 at this time accelerates defrosting.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first main flow path 21, the first subcooling flow path 42, and the second subcooling flow path 43 are arranged sequentially at intervals, and are all located on the same side of the first branch flow path 22 and the second branch flow path 23; the first subcooling flow path 42 and the second subcooling flow path 43 are arranged correspondingly to the second branch flow path 23, and the first main flow path 21 is arranged correspondingly to the first branch flow path 22. This also allows for a compact internal space layout of the heat exchanger, reducing the overall volume of the finned heat exchanger 100 and lowering production costs.

[0054] Please continue to combine Figure 2 Specifically, the first subcooling flow path 42 includes a plurality of first subcooling pipes 421 connected in sequence, and the second subcooling flow path 43 includes a plurality of second subcooling pipes 431 connected in sequence, with the plurality of first subcooling pipes 421 and the plurality of second subcooling pipes 431 arranged in sequence. In this embodiment, the plurality of first subcooling pipes 421 and the plurality of second subcooling pipes 431 are arranged in sequence along a first direction, which can further make the internal space layout of the heat exchanger compact, reduce the volume and lower the cost.

[0055] Combination Figure 1In order to better arrange the first heat exchange tube group 20 and facilitate the connection with the distributor 10, in this embodiment, the finned heat exchanger 100 also includes a first capillary tube 50, the two ends of which are connected to the distributor 10 and the first main flow path 21, respectively.

[0056] Furthermore, to improve the cooling effect, the finned heat exchanger 100 also includes at least one second heat exchange tube group 60. The at least one second heat exchange tube group 60 is located on the side of the first heat exchange tube group 20 away from the subcooled tube group 40, and the at least one second heat exchange tube group 60 is connected to the distributor 10. It is readily understood that in this embodiment, the second heat exchange tube group 60 and the first heat exchange tube group 20 are spaced apart along a first direction, which also saves internal space in the heat exchanger, making the layout of each component more compact.

[0057] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of the second heat exchange tube group 60 is six. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the second heat exchange tube group 60 can also be one, two, or three, etc.

[0058] For details, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 1 A magnified view of a section at point B, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 5 The second heat exchange tube group 60 includes a second main flow path 61, a third branch flow path 62 and a fourth branch flow path 63. One end of the second main flow path 61 is connected to the distributor 10, and the other end is connected to both the third branch flow path 62 and the fourth branch flow path 63.

[0059] In other words, the flow path in the second heat exchanger tube group 60 is also designed to be divided into two, which can reduce the flow resistance of the refrigerant in the second heat exchanger tube group 60, thereby reducing the overall pressure drop of the heat exchanger flow path and improving the performance of the unit.

[0060] Optionally, the second main flow path 61 includes a plurality of fourth heat exchange tubes 611 connected in sequence, the plurality of fourth heat exchange tubes 611 being arranged sequentially along a first direction. The third branch flow path 62 includes a plurality of fifth heat exchange tubes 621 connected in sequence, the plurality of fifth heat exchange tubes 621 being arranged sequentially along a first direction. The fourth branch flow path 63 includes a plurality of sixth heat exchange tubes 631 connected in sequence, the plurality of sixth heat exchange tubes 631 being arranged sequentially along a first direction.

[0061] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the plurality of fifth heat exchange tubes 621 are arranged in two groups. The plurality of fifth heat exchange tubes 621 in the first group, the plurality of fifth heat exchange tubes 621 in the second group, and the plurality of fourth heat exchange tubes 611 are arranged in sequence along the second direction. Similarly, the plurality of sixth heat exchange tubes 631 are also arranged in two groups. The plurality of sixth heat exchange tubes 631 in the first group, the plurality of sixth heat exchange tubes 631 in the second group, and the plurality of fourth heat exchange tubes 611 are arranged in sequence along the second direction. This makes the internal space layout of the heat exchanger more compact, saves space, and reduces the overall volume of the finned heat exchanger 100.

[0062] In addition, in order to better arrange the second heat exchange tube group 60 and facilitate its connection with the distributor 10, in this embodiment, the finned heat exchanger 100 also includes a second capillary tube 70, the two ends of which are connected to the distributor 10 and the second main flow path 61, respectively.

[0063] In summary, the embodiments of this utility model provide a finned heat exchanger 100, which includes a distributor 10, a first heat exchange tube group 20, and a subcooling tube group 40. The first heat exchange tube group 20 includes a first main flow path 21, a first branch flow path 22, and a second branch flow path 23. One end of the first main flow path 21 is connected to the distributor 10, and the other end is connected to both the first branch flow path 22 and the second branch flow path 23. An installation space 30 is formed between the first main flow path 21, the first branch flow path 22, and the second branch flow path 23. The subcooling tube group 40 is connected to the distributor 10 and is located within the installation space 30.

[0064] As is easily understood, when the finned heat exchanger 100 functions as an evaporator, the refrigerant sequentially passes through the subcooling pipe assembly 40 and the distributor 10, then reaches the first main flow path 21. The refrigerant passing through the first main flow path 21 is then divided into two parts: one part flows to the first branch flow path 22, and the other part flows to the second branch flow path 23. This reduces local resistance during refrigerant flow, lowers the overall pressure drop across the heat exchanger flow paths, and thus improves unit performance. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the first main flow path 21, the first branch flow path 22, and the second branch flow path 23 forms an installation space 30, within which the subcooling pipe assembly 40 is housed. This saves internal space in the heat exchanger, resulting in a compact structural layout and reducing the overall volume of the finned heat exchanger 100.

[0065] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
