Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chiller technology, specifically to a falling film chiller. Background Technology
[0002] A screw chiller is a positive displacement compressor with a screw compressor at its core, widely used in refrigeration, air compression, and other fields. Its core component is a pair of meshing male and female rotors. Through the periodic change in the volume between the rotor teeth during rotation, the three processes of intake, compression, and exhaust are continuously completed. Existing screw chillers use either dry-type or flooded-type evaporators. However, current dry-type evaporator screw chillers have low energy efficiency ratios, while flooded-type evaporators, although having higher energy efficiency ratios, suffer from poor oil return and require a large refrigerant charge. Therefore, a falling film chiller unit is proposed. Utility Model Content
