Binary refrigeration device

The patent applies curvature by forming wave-shaped patterns on the heat transfer plates. The convex and concave portions create curved flow paths that generate turbulent flow, enhancing heat exchange efficiency. This transforms the flat plate structure into a three-dimensional wave configuration, improving thermal transfer performance without increasing device complexity.

The patent changes the flow regime parameter from laminar to turbulent flow by introducing wave-shaped structures. This parameter change significantly improves heat exchange efficiency as turbulent flow enhances mixing and thermal transfer between the high-temperature and low-temperature refrigerant passages.

The wave-shaped heat transfer plates use continuous convex and concave patterns that create turbulent flow while maintaining a relatively simple plate structure. The curvature is achieved through standardized wave patterns that can be manufactured using conventional techniques, balancing performance improvement with manufacturing feasibility.

The heat transfer plate is divided into multiple convex and concave sections along the flow direction. This segmentation creates multiple flow path variations that generate turbulent flow throughout the exchanger, improving overall heat exchange efficiency while maintaining modular manufacturability.

The wave-shaped plates generate turbulent flow within a compact footprint by creating flow path lengthening and mixing through three-dimensional wave patterns. This allows efficient heat exchange in a smaller volume compared to straight-channel designs that would require longer passage lengths to achieve the same turbulent flow effect.

The patent transitions from two-dimensional flat plate heat exchange to three-dimensional wave-shaped heat exchange. This adds a vertical dimension to the flow paths, increasing the effective heat transfer surface area and promoting turbulent flow within a compact horizontal footprint, thereby reducing overall unit size.
