Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, and in particular to a heat exchanger and an electrochemical energy conversion system. Background Technology

[0002] Heat exchangers enable heat transfer between two or more fluids at different temperatures and are widely used in electrochemical energy conversion systems such as fuel cell systems and electrolytic cell systems. Heat exchangers recover excess reaction heat from the electrochemical energy conversion system to heat the raw material medium to the required reaction temperature, thereby maintaining a stable thermal equilibrium and achieving high energy utilization efficiency.

[0003] Heat exchangers typically consist of alternating cold-side and hot-side flow channels, with adjacent cold-side and hot-side channels sharing a common baffle. Heat exchange occurs between the fluids in the cold-side and hot-side channels through this baffle. However, existing heat exchangers suffer from uneven fluid flow distribution between the cold-side and hot-side channels, leading to a reduced heat exchange area, decreased heat exchange efficiency, and consequently, impacting the overall heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger that can improve the uniformity of flow distribution between hot and cold fluids, increase the heat exchange area, and improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the heat exchanger further includes a wedge-shaped baffle disposed along the third direction. The wedge-shaped baffle is disposed at the second cold side opening of the third side and the second cold side opening of the fourth side.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The first aspect of this utility model provides a heat exchanger, including a heat exchange core 100, a heat exchange channel 200 disposed in the heat exchange core 100, a first cold side guide plate 300, a second cold side guide plate 400, a first hot side guide plate 500, and a second hot side guide plate 600.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7In some embodiments, the heat exchange core 100 includes a first side surface 110 and a second side surface 120 arranged opposite each other along a first direction, and a third side surface 130 and a fourth side surface 140 arranged opposite each other along a second direction. The first side surface 110 is provided with a plurality of first hot-side openings 150, the second side surface 120 is provided with a plurality of first cold-side openings 160, and the third side surface 130 and the fourth side surface 140 are each provided with a plurality of second hot-side openings 170 and a plurality of second cold-side openings 180. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The heat exchange channel 200 includes a plurality of hot-side channels 210 and a plurality of cold-side channels 220. The hot-side channels 210 and cold-side channels 220 are alternately arranged in the heat exchange core 100 along a third direction. The first hot-side openings 150 and the second hot-side openings 170 are respectively connected to the corresponding hot-side channels 210, and the first cold-side openings 160 and the second cold-side openings 180 are respectively connected to the corresponding cold-side channels 220. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, respectively.

[0029] It should be noted that the first direction is the Z direction, the second direction is the Y direction, and the third direction is the X direction.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 Specifically, the first hot-side opening 150 is located on the first side 110 of the heat exchange core 100, the second hot-side opening 170 is located on the third side 130 and the fourth side 140 of the heat exchange core 100, the first cold-side opening 160 is located on the second side 120 of the heat exchange core 100, and the second cold-side opening 180 is located on the third side 130 and the fourth side 140 of the heat exchange core 100. The opening direction of the first hot-side opening 150 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the second hot-side opening 170, and the opening direction of the first cold-side opening 160 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the second cold-side opening 180. This allows the hot fluid to be more dispersed in the hot-side flow channel 210 and the cold fluid to be more dispersed in the cold-side flow channel 220, improving the uniformity of the flow distribution of the hot and cold fluids, increasing the heat exchange area, improving the heat exchange efficiency, and thus improving the overall heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger.

[0031] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 8 In some embodiments, a plurality of baffles are spaced apart inside the heat exchange core 100, and a heat exchange channel 200 is formed between two adjacent baffles. The hot side channel 210 and the cold side channel 220 are alternately arranged in a third direction, and adjacent hot side channels 210 and cold side channels 220 share a baffle, thereby realizing heat exchange between cold fluid and hot fluid.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4In some embodiments, the flow direction of the hot fluid in the hot-side flow channel 210 is opposite to the flow direction of the cold fluid in the cold-side flow channel 220; the second hot-side opening 170 is disposed on the side of the third side surface 130 and the fourth side surface 140 near the first cold-side opening 160, and the second cold-side opening 180 is disposed on the side of the third side surface 130 and the fourth side surface 140 near the first hot-side opening 150. Specifically, the first hot-side opening 150 is the inlet of the hot fluid, and the second hot-side opening 170 is the outlet of the hot fluid, so the hot fluid flows from top to bottom along the first direction; at the same time, the first cold-side opening 160 is the inlet of the cold fluid, and the second cold-side opening 180 is the outlet of the cold fluid, so the cold fluid flows from bottom to top along the first direction. Since the second cold side opening 180 is located on the side of the third side 130 and the fourth side 140 that is close to the first hot side opening 150, the second cold side opening 180 is close to the first hot side opening 150, that is, the outlet of the cold fluid is close to the inlet of the hot fluid, so that the cold fluid and the hot fluid form a counter-current heat exchange form, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments, hot fluid flows in through the first hot-side opening 150 of the first side 110 and exits through the second hot-side openings 170 of the third side 130 and the fourth side 140. Simultaneously, cold fluid flows in through the first cold-side opening 160 of the second side 120 and exits through the second cold-side openings 180 of the third side 130 and the fourth side 140. This creates a "single-inlet, double-outlet" flow path for both fluids within their respective channels. The concentrated pressure field at the single inlet and the dispersive suction effect at the dual outlets reduce the standard deviation of the velocity distribution of the cold and hot fluids within their channels, thereby improving the uniformity of their distribution and reducing localized overheating caused by dead zones. Furthermore, the dual-outlet design makes the residence time distribution of the cold and hot fluids within their channels more consistent, ensuring uniform contact time between the cold and hot fluids and the baffle, and improving the utilization rate of the effective heat exchange area.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second hot-side opening 170 of the third side 130 is symmetrically arranged with the second hot-side opening 170 of the fourth side 140, and the second cold-side opening 180 of the third side 130 is symmetrically arranged with the second cold-side opening 180 of the fourth side 140. This ensures that the flow of hot fluid in the hot-side flow channel 210 is symmetrical and the flow of cold fluid in the cold-side flow channel 220 is symmetrical. This ensures that the flow path length of the cold fluid is the same as that of the hot fluid, thereby ensuring that the heat exchanger has more sufficient and uniform heat exchange.

[0035] In some other embodiments, the first hot-side opening 150 is the outlet of the hot fluid, the second hot-side opening 170 is the inlet of the hot fluid, and the first cold-side opening 160 is the outlet of the cold fluid, and the second cold-side opening 180 is the inlet of the cold fluid. In actual design, the inlet and outlet positions of the hot fluid and the cold fluid can be designed according to actual needs.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first cold-side guide plate 300 includes a first cold guide pipe 310 and a first cold guide section 320 connected to the first cold guide pipe 310. The first cold guide pipe 310 is arranged in a third direction, and the first cold guide section 320 covers the first cold-side opening 160 to guide the cold fluid into the cold-side flow channel 220. Specifically, the cold fluid flows into the first cold guide section 320 through the first cold guide pipe 310. The first cold guide section 320 guides the cold fluid from the first cold-side opening 160 into the cold-side flow channel 220, transforming the concentrated inflow of cold fluid into a uniformly distributed flow field along the plane of the first cold-side opening 160, thereby improving the uniformity of flow distribution between the cold-side flow channels 220.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first cold flow guide 320 is provided with a mounting groove, and an inclined plate 321 opposite to the second side 120 is provided in the mounting groove. Along a third direction away from the first cold flow guide pipe 310, the distance between the inclined plate 321 and the second side 120 gradually decreases.

[0038] Reference Figure 7 Specifically, the inlet of the first cold guide pipe 310 is perpendicular to the first cold-side opening 160, and the distance between the first cold guide pipe 310 and each cold-side flow channel 220 is not equal. After passing through the first cold guide pipe 310, the cold fluid needs to flow along a third direction and enter different cold-side flow channels 220 sequentially. Due to the initial force of the cold fluid, the cold fluid flow rate in the cold-side flow channels 220 farther from the inlet of the first cold guide pipe 310 is larger, while the cold fluid flow rate in the cold-side flow channels 220 closer to the inlet of the first cold guide pipe 310 is smaller. This results in an uneven distribution of the cold fluid flow rate in each cold-side flow channel 220 in the heat exchange core 100, affecting the heat exchange efficiency. (Refer to...) Figure 5 , Figure 11 Therefore, the inclined plate 321 is inclined to adjust the pressure loss of each cold side flow channel 220. The cold side flow channel 220 near the inlet of the first cold guide pipe 310 has a relatively small pressure loss because the distance between the inclined plate 321 and the second side 120 is larger, while the cold side flow channel 220 far from the inlet of the first cold guide pipe 310 has a larger pressure loss because the distance between the inclined plate 321 and the second side 120 is smaller. This balances the distribution of cold fluid in each cold side flow channel 220, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0039] Reference Figure 9 In some embodiments, along a third direction away from the first cold guide pipe 310, the opening cross-sectional area of ​​the second cold side opening 180 gradually decreases. That is, the opening cross-sectional area of ​​the second cold side opening 180 decreases as the shortest distance between the second cold side opening 180 and the first cold guide pipe 310 increases. The further away from the inlet of the first cold guide pipe 310, the smaller the opening cross-sectional area of ​​the second cold side opening 180, which further increases the flow resistance of the cold side flow channel 220 away from the first cold guide pipe 310. The opening cross-sectional area of ​​the second cold side opening 180 and the pressure loss adjustment of the inclined plate 321 form a synergistic effect, making the cold fluid flow rate of each cold side flow channel 220 more uniform, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 In some embodiments, the heat exchanger further includes a wedge-shaped baffle 700 disposed along a third direction. The wedge-shaped baffle 700 is disposed at the second cold side opening 180 of the third side 130 and the second cold side opening 180 of the fourth side 140. Along the third direction away from the first cold guide pipe 310, the width of the wedge-shaped baffle 700 gradually increases so that the opening cross-sectional area of ​​the second cold side opening 180 gradually decreases.

[0041] Specifically, the two wedge-shaped baffles 700 are symmetrically arranged. The multiple second cold-side openings 180 on the third side 130 and the multiple second cold-side openings 180 on the fourth side 140 of the heat exchange core 100 are of the same shape and size. The wedge-shaped baffles 700 are right-angled triangles. One right-angled side of the wedge-shaped baffle 700 is attached to the side of the second cold-side opening 180 that is close to the second hot-side opening 170. The other right-angled side of the wedge-shaped baffle 700 is attached to the side of the third side 130 or the fourth side 140 that is away from the first cold guide pipe 310. Compared with controlling the opening cross-sectional area of ​​the second cold-side opening 180 of each cold-side flow channel 220, the wedge-shaped baffles 700 can more conveniently adjust the pressure loss of the cold-side flow channel 220.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5In some embodiments, the second cold-side guide plate 400 includes a second cold-guide pipe 410 and a second cold-guide section 420 connected to the second cold-guide pipe 410. The second cold-guide pipe 410 is arranged in a third direction, and the second cold-guide section 420 covers the second cold-side opening 180 to guide the cold fluid in the cold-side flow channel 220 to the second cold-guide pipe 410. Specifically, the second cold-side opening 180 of the third side 130 and the second cold-side opening 180 of the fourth side 140 of the heat exchange core 100 are both covered with the second cold-guide section 420. The second cold-guide section 420 is connected to the second cold-guide pipe 410 through a guide connecting plate 430. Through the two second cold-guide sections 420, the cold fluid discharged from the second cold-side openings 180 of the third side 130 and the fourth side 140 of the heat exchange core 100 can be combined together for easy delivery to the subsequent application end.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first hot-side guide plate 500 is provided with a first guide port 510, which communicates with the first hot-side opening 150 to guide the hot fluid to the hot-side flow channel 210. Specifically, the first hot-side guide plate 500 is disposed on the first side surface 110 of the heat exchange core 100, and the opening direction of the first guide port 510 is parallel to the opening direction of the first hot-side opening 150, so as to facilitate the uniform dispersion of the hot fluid into each hot-side flow channel 210.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, two second hot-side guide plates 600 respectively cover the corresponding second hot-side openings 170 to discharge the hot fluid in the hot-side flow channels 210. Specifically, the two second hot-side guide plates 600 respectively cover the second hot-side openings 170 of the third side 130 and the fourth side 140. The second hot-side guide plates 600 are provided with second guide ports 610, and the opening direction of the second guide ports 610 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the second hot-side openings 170, so as to facilitate the convergence of the hot fluid in each hot-side flow channel 210 and facilitate subsequent transportation.
