Background
When the air conditioner is used for refrigerating or heating, a large amount of heat exchange needs to be carried out with the environment where the air conditioner is located, and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger determines the refrigerating and heating efficiency of the air conditioner to a certain extent. In the case of cooling and heating air conditioners, the heat exchanger is also switched between use as a condenser and use as an evaporator when switching between the cooling mode and the heating mode. The requirements for the tube form of the heat exchanger are different when the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator and when the heat exchanger is used as a condenser. The heat exchanger requires a longer pipeline when being used as a condenser so as to ensure that the refrigerant obtains a certain supercooling degree, and the length of the pipeline is required to be reduced when the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator so as to improve the evaporation efficiency of the heat exchanger.
In the prior art, some heat exchangers include a heat exchange section and a supercooling section which are connected in series, the supercooling section has a main pipe section and at least one bypass pipe section, and each bypass pipe section is connected in parallel with at least part of the main pipe section; and each bypass pipe section is provided with a one-way valve which is communicated in one way, and the orientation of the one-way valve is arranged as follows: when the heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the bypass pipe section where the heat exchanger is located is blocked so that the refrigerant only flows through the main pipe section, and when the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the bypass pipe section where the heat exchanger is located is conducted so that the refrigerant is divided into at least two flow paths in the supercooling section and flows through the main pipe section and each bypass pipe section respectively. Thus, when the heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the supercooling section is a single flow path with a plurality of flow paths connected in series, and when the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the supercooling section is a plurality of flow paths connected in parallel.
In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:
when the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator and a condenser, only the form of the supercooling section is changed, the whole pipeline outside the supercooling section of the heat exchanger is not changed, and the improvement on the air conditioner refrigerating and heating effects is small.

The heat exchanger also includes a plurality of flow dividing elements. The shunt element is a term of convenience for description and does not preclude it from acting as a sink in some cases. Optionally, the first diverter element 21 includes one or more flow diverters, and similarly, the second diverter element 22 includes one or more flow diverters, the third diverter element 23 includes one or more flow diverters, and the fourth diverter element 24 includes one or more flow diverters. Wherein the flow splitter is a flow splitting element having one or more inflow inlets and one or more outflow outlets.

The refrigerant enters the second flow dividing element 22 from the first flow dividing element 21 in two ways, enters the third flow dividing element 23 from the second flow dividing element 22 in two ways, then enters the fourth flow dividing element 24 from the third flow dividing element 23 in two ways, and can be regarded as three heat exchange branches connected in series, each heat exchange branch comprises two heat exchange passages, the refrigerant is distributed in each heat exchange branch uniformly, and pressure and speed fluctuation caused by change of the flow cross section area at the boundary of the heat exchange branches can be avoided, so that the flowing stability of the refrigerant can be improved.
In some cases, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is from the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 to the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51, in this case, the refrigerant enters the fourth flow dividing element 24 from the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52, a portion of the refrigerant enters the second flow dividing element 22 through the sixth heat exchange path 16 and the fifth heat exchange path 15, a portion of the refrigerant flows to the third flow dividing element 23 through the second flow dividing communication pipeline 42, and a portion of the refrigerant entering the third flow dividing element 23 enters the first flow dividing element 21 through the fourth heat exchange path 14, the third heat exchange path 13, the second heat exchange path 12 and the first heat exchange path 11. The refrigerant that has entered the second flow dividing element 22 through the fifth heat exchange path 15 and the sixth heat exchange path 16 joins and then enters the first flow dividing element 21 through the first flow dividing communicating pipe 41. The refrigerant in the first flow dividing element leaves the heat exchanger through the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51.
When the heat exchanger is used as a condenser, a refrigerant in the heat exchanger is in a high-temperature and high-pressure area and is insensitive to pressure drop, and the heat exchange performance is mainly influenced by a heat transfer coefficient. The heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger can be improved by reducing the number of the circulating branches, so that the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger and the environment is improved. When the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is in a low-temperature and low-pressure area, the heat exchange performance is mainly constrained by the heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop, the heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant with a plurality of parallel branches is not changed greatly, the pressure drop of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is reduced, the pressure for driving the refrigerant to circulate is increased, and the evaporation and heat absorption efficiency of the heat exchanger is improved.
In the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the first flow dividing element 21, the second flow dividing element 22, the third flow dividing element 23, the fourth flow dividing element 24, the first check valve 31 and the second check valve 32 are matched, so that the heat exchanger realizes "a plurality of branches when being used as an evaporator and a few branches when being used as a condenser". Specifically, when the refrigerant flows from the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 to the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52, the heat exchanger is in a form of a plurality of heat exchange passages connected in series, the refrigerant has a long stroke in the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger is used as a condenser, and the refrigerant in the heat exchanger can be fully cooled to obtain the supercooling degree required by refrigeration; when the refrigerant flows from the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 to the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51, the heat exchanger is formed by connecting a plurality of heat exchange paths in parallel, the stroke of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is short, the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the pressure drop of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is small, and the heat absorption effect of the refrigerant in evaporation is improved. When the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator and a condenser, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is improved. The heat exchanger is used as an indoor and/or outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner, so that the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchanger and/or the outdoor heat exchanger can be improved, and the refrigerating and heating effects of the air conditioner are further improved.
Alternatively, when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is the heat exchanger, the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 of the heat exchanger is communicated with the compressor 64, and the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 is communicated with the throttling device 62. Under the refrigerating condition of the air conditioner, the refrigerant is evaporated and absorbs heat through the indoor heat exchanger 63 to become gaseous refrigerant, the gaseous refrigerant is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant through the compressor 64, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the heat exchanger through the first refrigerant inlet and outlet 51, the temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is reduced through the plurality of heat exchange passages connected in series in the heat exchanger and a certain supercooling degree is obtained, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant leaves the heat exchanger through the second refrigerant inlet and outlet 52, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant becomes liquid refrigerant through the throttling device 62, the liquid refrigerant enters the heat exchanger of the indoor unit, and the operation is repeated. The serial multiple heat exchange passages can make the refrigerant obtain the supercooling degree needed by the liquid state after throttling. The form improves the condensation effect of the heat exchanger, and further improves the refrigeration effect of the air conditioner. Under the heating condition of the air conditioner, the temperature of the refrigerant is reduced through the indoor heat exchanger 63, the refrigerant is throttled by the throttling device 62 to become a gaseous refrigerant, the gaseous refrigerant enters the heat exchanger through the second refrigerant inlet and outlet 52, the gaseous refrigerant is absorbed by the plurality of heat exchange passages connected in parallel to become a gaseous refrigerant, the gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor 64 through the first throttling device 62, the gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 64 to become a high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and the gaseous refrigerant enters the indoor heat exchanger 63, and the steps are repeated. The heat exchanger is in a form of connecting a plurality of branches in parallel, so that the pressure drop of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger can be reduced, the circulation speed of the refrigerant is increased, and the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger is further improved. The arrangement mode can improve the evaporation effect of the heat exchanger, particularly improve the heat absorption capacity of the heat exchanger in a low-temperature environment, and further improve the heating effect of the air conditioner.
Alternatively, when the indoor heat exchanger 63 is the heat exchanger described above, the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 of the heat exchanger communicates with the compressor 64, and the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 communicates with the throttling device 62. Under the refrigeration working condition of the air conditioner, the refrigerant enters the heat exchanger from the second refrigerant inlet and outlet 52, and leaves the heat exchanger through a plurality of heat exchange passages arranged in parallel to enter the compressor. Under the heating working condition of the air conditioner, a refrigerant enters the heat exchanger from the first refrigerant inlet and outlet, and leaves the heat exchanger to enter the throttling device after being released heat through the plurality of heat exchange passages arranged in series. Under the refrigerating working condition of the air conditioner, the refrigerant enters the heat exchanger from the second refrigerant inlet and outlet, evaporates and absorbs heat through the plurality of heat exchange passages arranged in parallel, and then leaves the heat exchanger to enter the throttling device. The same realizes 'a plurality of branches when used as an evaporator and a few branches when used as a condenser', and improves the refrigeration and heating effects of the air conditioner.
With reference to fig. 2 to 6, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a heat exchanger, which includes a plurality of refrigerant pipes, a first flow dividing element 21, a second flow dividing element 22, a first check valve 31, a third flow dividing element 23, a fourth flow dividing element 24, and a second check valve 32, where the plurality of refrigerant pipes form a first heat exchange passage 11, a second heat exchange passage 12, a third heat exchange passage 13, a fourth heat exchange passage 14, a fifth heat exchange passage 15, and a sixth heat exchange passage 16; the first flow dividing element 21 is communicated with the first end of the first heat exchange passage 11 and the first end of the second heat exchange passage 12, and the first flow dividing element 21 is further provided with a first refrigerant inlet and outlet 51; a second flow dividing element 22 communicating the first end of the third heat exchange path 13, the first end of the fourth heat exchange path 14, the first end of the fifth heat exchange path 15 and the first end of the sixth heat exchange path 16; a first check valve 31 provided in a first split communication line 41 between the first split element 21 and the second split element 22, the first check valve 31 being communicated in a direction from the second split element 22 to the first split element 21; a third flow dividing element 23 communicating the second end of the first heat exchange path 11, the second end of the second heat exchange path 12, the second end of the third heat exchange path, and the second end of the fourth heat exchange path 14; a fourth flow dividing element 24 communicating the second end of the fifth heat exchange passage 15 with the second end of the sixth heat exchange passage 16 and connected to the third flow dividing element 23 through a second flow dividing communication pipeline 42, the fourth flow dividing element 24 being provided with a second refrigerant inlet and outlet 52; and a second check valve 32 disposed in the second branch communication pipe 42, wherein the second check valve 32 is communicated in a direction from the fourth flow dividing element 24 to the third flow dividing element 23. The arrangement form can lead the heat exchanger to realize 'a plurality of branches when being used as an evaporator and a few branches when being used as a condenser', thereby improving the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger.
Optionally, the heat exchanger further comprises a fifth flow dividing element 25 communicating the second end of the fifth heat exchange path 15 with the second end of the sixth heat exchange path 16, wherein the fourth flow dividing element 24 communicates the second end of the fifth heat exchange path 15 with the second end of the sixth heat exchange path 16 through the fifth flow dividing element 25.
When the flow direction of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is from the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 to the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51, the refrigerant is divided into two parts by the fourth flow dividing element 24, one part enters the fifth flow dividing element 25, and the other part enters the second flow dividing element 24 through the second flow dividing communication pipeline 42. The fifth flow dividing element is arranged, compared with the mode that the fifth heat exchange passage 15 and the sixth heat exchange passage 16 are directly connected to the fourth flow dividing element 24, the number of the nozzles of the fourth flow dividing element 24 can be reduced, and therefore the processing cost of the fourth flow dividing element 24 is reduced. In addition, a fifth flow dividing element 25 is provided to facilitate uniform distribution of the refrigerant between the fifth heat exchange path 15 and the sixth heat exchange path 15.
Optionally, the fourth flow splitting element 24 comprises a housing, a manifold 241, a first branch splitter 247, and a second branch splitter 248. A liquid separating cavity is formed in the shell, a first liquid separating port and a second liquid separating port are formed in the shell, the collecting pipe 241 is communicated with the liquid separating cavity, the first liquid separating branch pipe 247 is communicated with the liquid separating cavity through the first liquid separating port, and the second liquid separating branch pipe 248 is communicated with the liquid separating cavity through the second liquid separating port.
Optionally, the liquid separating cavity comprises a confluence cavity 242, a first branch cavity 243 and a second branch cavity 244, the first branch pipe 247 is communicated with the first branch cavity 243 through a first liquid separating port, and the second branch pipe 248 is communicated with the second branch cavity 244 through a second liquid separating port.
Optionally, the manifold 241 includes a first pipe segment 245 and a second pipe segment 246 in bending communication, and the first pipe segment 245 is in direct communication with the liquid-dividing chamber.
The axes of the first 245 and second 246 tube sections lie in a first plane. The plane in which the axes of the first branch 247 and the second branch 248 lie is the second plane. Optionally, the first plane is non-perpendicular to the second plane.
The manifold 241 comprises a first pipe segment 245 and a second pipe segment 246, the axis of the first pipe segment 245 and the axis of the second pipe segment 246 are in a first plane, and the first plane and the second plane form an included angle e. As shown in fig. 6. The first plane is non-perpendicular to the second plane, it being understood that the angle e between the first plane and the second plane is less than 90 °. Optionally, the angle between the first plane and the second plane is measured as the acute angle formed by the two. The first plane is non-perpendicular to the second plane such that the amount of refrigerant entering the first branch 247 and the second branch 248 via the first segment 245 is different. For example, when the included angle between the first plane and the second plane is on the side of the first branch liquid-dividing pipe 247, the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing to the second branch liquid-dividing pipe 248 is greater than the flow rate flowing to the first branch liquid-dividing pipe 247 under the action of gravity. Similarly, when the angle between the first plane and the second plane is on the side of the second branch liquid dividing pipe 248, the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing to the first branch liquid dividing pipe 247 is greater than the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing to the second branch liquid dividing pipe 248 under the action of gravity.
As shown in fig. 4, when the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the refrigerant is divided by the fourth dividing element 24 and then flows into six heat exchange passages connected in parallel. In the direction shown in fig. 4, the refrigerant flows through the branch liquid pipe on the left side of the fourth flow dividing element 24 and then flows only into the fifth heat exchange passage 15 and the sixth heat exchange passage 16, and the refrigerant flows through the branch liquid pipe on the right side of the fourth flow dividing element 24 and then flows into the four heat exchange passages. It can be seen that after the refrigerant passes through the fourth flow dividing element 24, the refrigerant amount required by the two branch liquid dividing pipes of the fourth flow dividing element 24 is different. In the heat exchanger shown in fig. 4, the refrigerant amount required for the right branch liquid dividing pipe is approximately 2 times the refrigerant amount of the left branch liquid dividing pipe. The fourth flow dividing element 24 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure utilizes the gravity action of the refrigerant in the flowing process, and through the arrangement of the included angle between the first plane where the axes of the first pipe segment 245 and the second pipe segment 246 of the collecting pipe 241 are located and the second plane where the axes of the first liquid dividing branch pipe 247 and the second liquid dividing branch pipe 248 are located, the different amounts of the refrigerant flowing out of the different liquid dividing branch pipes of the fourth flow dividing element 24 are realized, the different demands of the amounts of the refrigerant needed by the liquid dividing branch pipes are satisfied, and further, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is improved.
Optionally, an angle between the first plane and the second plane is less than 90 degrees. Optionally, the included angle between the first plane and the second plane is 0 degree, 30 degrees, 60 degrees, 70 degrees, or 80 degrees, etc. The included angle between the first plane and the second plane is smaller than 90 degrees, so that the refrigerant can bias under the action of gravity after flowing through the first pipe section 245 of the collecting pipe 241, and the cold amount flowing into the first liquid-dividing branch pipe 247 and the second liquid-dividing branch pipe 248 is different.
Optionally, the first section 245 of manifold 241 has an inner diameter greater than the inner diameter of first branch flow 247.
Optionally, the first branch legs 247 have an inner diameter greater than the inner diameter of the second branch legs 248. According to the fourth flow dividing element 24 provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, an included angle is formed between a first plane where the axes of the first pipe section 245 and the second pipe section 246 of the collecting pipe 241 are located and a second plane where the axes of the two liquid dividing branch pipes are located, and an inner diameter difference between the two liquid dividing branch pipes is further matched, so that the difference of refrigerant amount flowing into the two liquid dividing branch pipes is further increased. Optionally, the first pipe segment 245 of the collecting pipe 241 is inclined toward the second branch liquid pipe 248, and then, under the action of gravity, the inner diameter of the first branch liquid pipe 247 is further matched to be larger than the inner diameter of the second branch liquid pipe 248, so that more refrigerant flows into the first branch liquid pipe 247, and the refrigerant flow rate difference between the two branch liquid pipes is further increased.
By only limiting the difference in the inner diameters of the first branch liquid-dividing pipes 247 and the second branch liquid-dividing pipes 248, it is difficult to achieve refrigerant distribution with a refrigerant flow difference of the flow ratio of the first branch liquid-dividing pipes 247 to the second branch liquid-dividing pipes 248 being 2. The reason is that the inner diameter of the branch liquid-separating pipe is limited to the minimum value, for example, the inner diameter of the branch liquid-separating pipe cannot be less than 3mm, even not less than 3.36mm, the copper pipe below the inner diameter actually becomes a capillary pipe, the capillary pipe has larger flow resistance, and forms a throttling and pressure reducing effect on the flow of the refrigerant, so that the power of the compressor can be increased, and the performance of the system can be reduced; even when the air conditioner operates in a heating working condition, the outdoor heat exchanger is frosted seriously, and the safety and reliability of the system are affected. Due to the limitation of the minimum value of the inner diameter of the liquid separating branch pipe, in order to realize refrigerant distribution with a flow ratio of 2. Therefore, by merely limiting the difference in the inner diameters of the first branch liquid-dividing pipe 247 and the second branch liquid-dividing pipe 248, it is difficult to achieve refrigerant distribution with a refrigerant distribution even larger difference in refrigerant flow rate of the first branch liquid-dividing pipe 247 to the second branch liquid-dividing pipe 248 within a range not exceeding the allowable tube diameter of the heat exchange tube in the heat exchanger.
According to the technical scheme, an included angle is formed between a first plane where the axes of the first pipe section 245 and the second pipe section 246 of the collecting pipe 241 are located and a second plane where the axes of the two liquid separating branch pipes are located, and the inner diameter difference between the two liquid separating branch pipes is further matched, so that the refrigerant flow ratio of the two liquid separating branch pipes is 2. According to the refrigerant distribution scheme for realizing the large flow ratio provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the inner diameter of the second branch liquid-separating pipe 248 does not need to be designed to be too small, and the flow rate of the refrigerant in the first branch liquid-separating pipe 247 is much larger than that of the refrigerant in the second branch liquid-separating pipe 248. Therefore, the refrigerant distribution scheme of the fourth shunting element 24 provided by the embodiment of the disclosure avoids the problem of excessive total pressure drop of the liquid dividing branch pipes of the fourth shunting element 24 and the heat exchanger when the refrigerant distribution ratio of the two liquid dividing branch pipes is relatively large.
When the air conditioner operates in a heating working condition and the heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the heat exchanger can exert the optimal heat exchange capacity under the following conditions: when heating, the heat in the ambient air is continuously absorbed from the low-temperature liquid state, the heat reaches a gas-liquid two-phase state along with the temperature rise, the temperature is kept constant at the evaporation temperature at this time, only the phase change from the liquid state to the gas state is continuously generated, the liquid state refrigerants are less and less, the gas state refrigerants are more and more, the heat is just completely changed into the gas state when reaching the outlet of the whole heat exchange passage, and the temperature is 1-2 ℃ higher than the evaporation temperature. The reason is that when the outlet temperature of the heat exchange passage is overheated, all the gaseous refrigerants are gaseous refrigerants, the enthalpy difference of the gaseous refrigerants is small, the heat exchange capacity is low, and when the superheat degree is overlarge, the heat exchange temperature difference between the refrigerants and the ambient temperature is small, for example, when the evaporation temperature is about 0-1 ℃, if the superheat degree is greater than 3 ℃, the temperature is above 4 ℃, and the ambient temperature in winter is about 7 ℃, the heat exchange temperature difference is small, and the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchanger is more difficult to be exerted.
The better the uniformity, the easier each heat exchange path has proper heat exchange, if uneven, some branch circuits have been overheated seriously very easily, several hairpin pipes at the back do not have the heat exchange effect, and some heat exchange path refrigerants are too much, and the whole heat exchange path of flowing through still has a lot of low temperature liquid refrigerants to exchange away cold volume, so, under same refrigerant flow, whole heat exchanger heat exchange effect is poor, and the ability of air conditioner is very low. Therefore, the method for judging good split of experience during heating is as follows: the temperature difference of the outlets of the branches is within 2 ℃, the superheat degree of the outlets is about 1 ℃, and the split flow is better under the condition.
Optionally, the included angle between the first plane and the second plane is greater than or equal to 30 degrees and less than or equal to 60 degrees, the inner diameter of the first branch liquid-dividing pipe 247 is greater than or equal to 5.1mm and less than or equal to 6.1mm, and the inner diameter of the second branch liquid-dividing pipe 248 is greater than or equal to 3.1mm and less than or equal to 3.7mm. Optionally, the second pipe section 246 of the collecting pipe 241 is inclined toward the second branch pipe 248 side.
Optionally, the first flow dividing element 21 is located in the upper part of the second flow dividing element 22. When the heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the refrigerant enters the heat exchanger from the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51, enters the third flow dividing element 23 through the first heat exchange passage 11 and the second heat exchange passage 12, and enters the second flow dividing element 22 through the third heat exchange passage 13 and the fourth heat exchange passage 14. The refrigerant in the second flow dividing element 22 moves to the fourth flow dividing element 24 through the fifth heat exchange path 15 and the sixth heat exchange path 16 under the action of the pressure difference between the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 and the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52. The first check valve 31 is conducted in the direction from the second flow dividing element 22 to the first flow dividing element 21. When the pressure between the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 and the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 fluctuates, the refrigerant in the second flow dividing element 22 may return to the first flow dividing element 21 through the first check valve 31, which may affect the normal flow of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger. The first flow dividing element 21 is higher than the second flow dividing element 22, and the refrigerant in the second flow dividing element 22 is not easy to enter the first flow dividing element 21 through the first check valve 31 under the action of gravity. The arrangement form improves the circulation effect of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger, and further improves the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
Optionally, the third flow dividing element 23 is located in the upper part of the fourth flow dividing element 24. When the heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the refrigerant of the third flow dividing element 23 enters the second flow dividing element 22 through the third heat exchange passage 13 and the fourth heat exchange passage 14, and enters the fourth flow dividing element 24 through the fifth heat exchange passage 15 and the sixth heat exchange passage 16. The refrigerant in the fourth flow dividing element 24 leaves the heat exchanger through the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 under the action of the pressure difference between the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 and the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52. The second non return valve 32 is directed from the fourth flow dividing element 24 to the third flow dividing element 23. When the pressure between the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 and the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 fluctuates, the refrigerant in the fourth flow dividing element 24 may return to the second flow dividing element 22 through the second check valve 32, which may affect the normal flow of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger. The third flow dividing element 23 is higher than the fourth flow dividing element 24, and the refrigerant in the fourth flow dividing element 24 is not easy to enter the third flow dividing element 23 through the second check valve 32 under the action of gravity. The arrangement mode improves the circulation effect of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger, and further improves the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
Optionally, the plurality of refrigerant tubes are horizontally arranged, and the first heat exchange passage 11, the second heat exchange passage 12, the third heat exchange passage 13, the fourth heat exchange passage 14, the fifth heat exchange passage 15, and the sixth heat exchange passage 16 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom. When the refrigerant flows from the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 to the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is from top to bottom; when the refrigerant flows from the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 to the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51, the overall flow direction of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is from bottom to top. The plurality of refrigerant pipes are horizontally arranged, so that the refrigerant is uniformly distributed among different heat exchange passages. The first heat exchange passage 11, the second heat exchange passage 12, the third heat exchange passage 13, the fourth heat exchange passage 14, the fifth heat exchange passage 15 and the sixth heat exchange passage 16 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, so that the flowing directions of the refrigerants in the heat exchanger are uniform, the refrigerants are not easy to form turbulent flow in the heat exchanger, the flowing speed of the refrigerants in the heat exchanger can be improved, and further the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is improved.
Optionally, the number of refrigerant tubes included in the first heat exchange path 11, the second heat exchange path 12, the third heat exchange path 13, the fourth heat exchange path 14, the fifth heat exchange path 15, and the sixth heat exchange path 16 is the same. When the refrigerant flows from the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 to the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 of the heat exchanger, heat exchange paths connected in parallel are formed among the plurality of heat exchange paths. The heat exchanger now functions as an evaporator. The number of the refrigerant pipes contained in the plurality of heat exchange passages is the same, and the refrigerant flow cross-sectional areas and the lengths among the plurality of heat exchange passages are also the same. The distribution of the refrigerant among the heat exchange passages is uniform, and the distribution and the flowing speed of the refrigerant in each heat exchange passage are also the same. Due to the design form, the temperature distribution among the multiple heat exchange passages is uniform, and the temperature control of the heat exchanger is facilitated.
Optionally, the first flow dividing element 21 is a vertically arranged header. When the refrigerant flows from the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 to the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52, the refrigerant entering the heat exchanger from the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51 is a high-temperature gaseous refrigerant. When the refrigerant flows from the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 to the first refrigerant inlet/outlet 51, the refrigerant entering the heat exchanger from the second refrigerant inlet/outlet 52 is a liquid refrigerant, and the refrigerant collected into the gas collecting pipe is mainly a gaseous refrigerant formed by evaporation of the liquid refrigerant. The first flow dividing element 21 is a vertically arranged gas collecting pipe, and is beneficial to the distribution of gaseous refrigerants between the first heat exchange passage 11 and the second heat exchange passage 12 when being used as a condenser; when used as an evaporator, it is advantageous for the gaseous refrigerant to merge out of the heat exchanger via the first flow dividing element 21. The arrangement mode considers the states of the refrigerant at different parts in the heat exchanger, improves the flowing effect of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger, and further improves the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger.
Optionally, the pipe diameter of the gas collecting pipe is larger than that of the refrigerant pipe. The refrigerant flow in the gas collecting pipe is larger than that of a single refrigerant pipe, and the arrangement mode is favorable for distribution and convergence of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger, so that the circulation effect of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is improved.
Optionally, the gas collector is connected to the first heat exchange path 11 through a first nozzle, and the gas collector is connected to the second heat exchange path 12 through a second nozzle, wherein the first nozzle and the second nozzle are located in an upper section of the gas collector. The gas collecting pipe is divided into an upper pipe section positioned at the upper part and a lower pipe section positioned at the lower part. It will be understood that the upper and lower pipe sections are in an up and down positional relationship with each other and that the relationship of the lengths of the upper and lower pipe sections is not overly limited. The first pipe orifice and the second pipe orifice are both arranged on the upper pipe section of the gas collecting pipe, so that gaseous refrigerants can enter the first heat exchange passage 11 and the second heat exchange passage 12 through the first pipe orifice and the second pipe orifice.
