Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、冷凍・空調機に使用する気液二相分配器において、特に液の分配量を所定の比率に分配できる低圧力損失の分配器の構造に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
図２３は、例えば特公平７−８１７９４号公報に記載の分配器である。図２３において、１は流入管、２は流出管、１２は流入する気液二相流体を示し、１２ａは気相部、１２ｂは液相部である。１３ａおよび１３ｂは出口流体、１４ａおよび１４ｂは小孔である。
動作について説明する。流入管１は重量方向に対し垂直で、かつＵベンド形状の流出管２の曲げ方向が上下方向となるように配置される場合において、流入管１から流入した気液二相流体は、２つの小孔１４ａ，１４ｂから一部蒸発を伴いながら噴霧状に混合された状態で均等に分かれてＵベンド形状の流出管２に噴出する。小孔１４ａ，１４ｂから流出管２へ噴出された気液二相流体は、分配器の下側の流出管２ｂに液が偏ることなく分配される。
【０００３】
また、図２４は、特公平７−３０１４７２号公報に記載のヘッダ形状の分配器である。図中、１は流入管、２は流出管、２０は円筒管、２１は挿入管材である。９，１１は、各々、円筒管９内部を流れる液および気泡である。係る構成の分配器では、流入管１から円筒管２０に流入した気液二相流体は、漸次流出管２から流出する。ここで、挿入管材２１が円筒管２０内部に挿入されているので、円筒管２０内の流路断面積は流れ方向に漸次小さくなり、流体が円筒の上部に流れて行っても流速が極端に減少することがない。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記のような従来の分配器のうち、特公平７−８１７９４号公報に記載の分配器では、流入管１の流路断面積よりも小さい径の小孔を流体が通過する際に大きな圧力損失が生じるため、熱交換器単体性能が低下したり、低圧圧力損失の増加によって冷凍サイクルの成績係数を低下させるという問題点がある。
また、特開平７−３０１４７２号公報に記載のヘッダでは、流出管２から流出する気液の量によって、円筒管内の気液の流動様式が変化し、流出管２から流出する流量によって挿入管材２１の形状を試行錯誤により決定しなければならず、挿入管材２１の最適形状を求め難いという問題がある。
【０００５】
この発明は、前記問題点を解消するためになされたもので、圧力損失が小さく、かつ、簡易な構成で気液を精度よく分配できる設計・製造が容易で低コストな気液二相分配器を得ることを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明の第１の発明に係る気液二相分配器は、流出する液体の方向における投影面が半円形もしくは半楕円形もしくは三角形の形状であって気液二相流体を衝突させ分流させるための平面を持つ分流生成部を内部に有する容器と、前記容器に開口して前記分流生成部の平面に鉛直方向から気液二相流体を衝突させることで液体を散開させて分流し前記容器内面に液膜を形成する流入部と、前記容器内面の液膜形成部分に開口して水平方向に並設され前記容器内面へ開口した部分から互いに同一方向であって前記流入部より流入する流体の流れ方向と異なる方向へ突出して延在し前記流入部により流入する流体の流れ方向と異なる流れ方向で流体を流出する複数の流出部とを備え、前記複数の流出部における前記容器内面へ開口した部分の流路断面積をそれぞれの液分配量に応じて変化させる構成としたものである。
【０００７】
この発明の第２の発明に係る気液二相分配器は、流入部，容器および流出部を構成する複数の流出口を有し、前記容器内部に液膜を形成し、前記容器に流入する流体の流れ方向と容器から流出する流体の流れ方向が異なる構成の分配器において、前記容器に設けた複数の流出口を取りまとめて共通の流出口を形成する合流部材を設置する構成としたものである。
【０００８】
この発明の第３の発明に係る気液二相分配器においては、前記容器内部に流入する流体を分流する遮蔽部材を設けたものである。
【０００９】
この発明の第４の発明に係る気液二相分配器においては、前記容器内部に流体の流れを制御するガイドを設けたものである。
【００１０】
この発明の第５の発明に係る気液二相分配器においては、前記容器における互いに直交するＸＹＺ軸方向の寸法のうち、ある２方向の寸法が他の１方向の寸法よりも小さい構成としたものである。
【００１１】
この発明の第６の発明に係る気液二相分配器においては、シェル容器内部に前記容器を内蔵したものである。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
実施の形態１．
図１および図２は、この発明の実施の形態の一例を示す図で、図１は気液二相分配器の正面図、図２は気液二相分配器の側面図である。
【００１３】
図１および図２において、１は流入管からなる流入部、２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃは流出管からなる流出部、３は容器である。容器３の内部には気液二相流体を衝突させ分流させるための平面を持つ分流生成部３ａが設けられている。１５ａ，１５ｂは容器３の側面部分を示し、側板と呼ぶ。側板１５ａ，１５ｂは円を円周軸方向に２分割した半円形状であり、容器３の下部には流入管１、側板１５ｂには流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃが接続される。１６は容器３内部に形成される液膜である。また、分配器は、流入管１が鉛直方向になるように設置する。
【００１４】
動作について説明する。流入管１から容器３に流入した気液二相流体は、容器３の内面上部に設けられた分流生成部３ａの平面にその鉛直方向から衝突し、その衝突により散開して容器３内壁に液膜を形成する分離流となる。ここで生じる液膜は、主に、容器３の対称性および表面張力の影響によって均一になる傾向がある。このため、容器３の側板１５ｂに取付けられた流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃに流れ込む単位時間当たりの液量Ｇａ，Ｇｂ，Ｇｃの比率は、各分岐管入口部の液膜の厚さｔａ，ｔｂ，ｔｃと流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃの流路断面積Ａａ，Ａｂ，Ａｃの積の比率にほぼ比例する。
Ｇａ：Ｇｂ：Ｇｃ＝(ｔａ・Ａａ)：(ｔｂ・Ａｂ)：(ｔｃ・Ａｃ)…(式１)
ここで、液膜が均一の場合（ｔａ＝ｔｂ＝ｔｃの場合）、流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃに流れ込む単位時間当たりの液量の比は、流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃの断面積の比にほぼ等しくなる。
Ｇａ：Ｇｂ：Ｇｃ＝Ａａ：Ａｂ：Ａｃ……………(式２)
【００１５】
したがって、所定の液分配量の比と流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃの断面積の比を等しくすることによって、簡易な構成で任意比率の気液分配量を精度よく得ることが可能となり、容易に設計することができる。
【００１６】
なお、この実施の形態では、流出管２が３本の場合について説明したが、流出管２は任意の本数でも同様の効果を有する。また、側板１５ａ，１５ｂの形状は、特に半円形状のみならず、図３および図４に示すような三角形または半楕円状等の形状でもよく、側板１５は平面のみならず湾曲していてもかまわない。
更に、側板１５の形状は、各流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃの分配量がほぼ均一の場合は左右対称形が望ましいが、各流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃの分配量の比率に偏りがある場合には、図４に示すような左右非対称形でもよい。
この分配器を冷凍サイクルに組み込み、複数の蒸発器に気液二相冷媒を分配する場合においては、各蒸発器に分配される液量を制御できることから、冷媒に非共沸混合冷媒を用いる場合にも、各蒸発器の負荷に応じて適切な混合比で分配できるので適用可能である。
【００１７】
実施の形態２．
図５はこの発明の実施の形態の一例を示す図で、気液二相分配器の構成図である。
図において、１は流入管からなる流入部、２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃは流出管からなる流出部、３は容器である。容器３の内部には気液二相流体を衝突させ分流させるための平面を持つ分流生成部３ａが設けられている。４ａ〜４ｉは容器３の側面に開けられた複数の流出口、５は流出口４ａ〜４ｉが開けられた側板１５と接合する合流板からなる合流部材、６は合流板５と接合する分配板からなる分配部材である。側板１５は円を円周軸方向に２分割した半円形状であり、容器３の下部には流入管１、流出口４が開けられた側板１５には合流板５および分配板６が順次接合され一体化した分配器となる。
【００１８】
動作について説明する。流入管１から容器３に流入した気液二相流体は、容器３の内面上部に設けられた分流生成部３ａの平面にその鉛直方向から衝突し、その衝突により散開して容器３内壁に液膜を形成する分離流となる。ここで生じる液膜は、容器３の対称性および表面張力の影響によって均一になる傾向がある。容器内壁を流れ落ちる液は、流出口４から容器３の外部へ流出する。
ここで、流出口４ａ〜４ｉに流れ込む液の流量は、例えば、図６に示すように分配量の平均値に対してばらつきがある。このばらつきは再現性があるので、このばらつきを前もって調べておき合流板５の穴の形状を決定する。
合流板５によって複数の流出口から流出する液を共通の流出口を構成することによって１つにまとめると、まとめられる液の流量は予め調べておいた流出口４ａ〜４ｉを組み合わせた流量が得られるので、図７に示すように分配管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃから流出する液流量Ｌａ，Ｌｂ，Ｌｃは、流出口４ａ〜４ｉの組み合わせ方によって任意に変化させることができる。
【００１９】
したがって、容器３に合流板５および分配器６を接合することによって、分配量のばらつき誤差を軽減し、簡易な構成によって任意の気液の分配量を精度よく得ることが可能となる。
【００２０】
実施の形態３．
図８および図９は、この発明の実施の形態の一例を示す図で、図８は気液二相分配器の正面図、図９は気液二相分配器の側面図である。図において、１は流入管からなる流入部、２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃは流出管からなる流出部、３は容器である。容器３の内部には気液二相流体を衝突させ分流させるための平面を持つ分流生成部３ａが設けられている。７は遮蔽板からなる遮蔽部材である。容器３は円を円周軸方向に２分割した形状である。また、２２は容器３を構成する円弧部分である。
【００２１】
動作について説明する。流入管１から容器３に流入した気液二相流体は、遮蔽板７に衝突し、遮蔽板７が流入する流体に対して容器３内部の中央部を部分的に遮蔽する形で、流体は左右に分流され容器内部の円弧部分２２に沿って容器３の上部に流れ、さらに、容器３の上部に設けられた分流生成部３ａに衝突した液は容器３の上部壁面に沿って流れ、その一部は重力によって下方へ落下する。落下する過程において、流出管入口付近を通過する液はそのまま流出管に流れ込み外部へ流出する。外部へ流出しなかった液は、遮蔽板７の上部へ流れ落ちて、流入管１から流れ込んだ液と合流し、再び、容器３の円弧に沿って容器３の上部へと流れる。
【００２２】
図１０には遮蔽板７を容器３内部に設置した場合と設置しない場合の液分配特性の変化を示す。図１０において、横軸は分岐口の番号を示し、左側の分岐口を分岐口１、中央の分岐口を分岐口２、右側の分岐口を分岐口３とする。縦軸は各分岐口の分配液量の目標値を１００とした場合の各分岐口への液分配量の割合を示す。図１０のように、遮蔽板を設けることによって、中央の分岐口２への液量分配量が低下し、左右の液分配量が増加する。
【００２３】
従って、遮蔽板７を設けることによって、左右両端に位置する流出管の液分配量を確保することが可能となり、流出管が多い場合でも精度よく分岐することが可能である。
【００２４】
なお、遮蔽板７の設置位置は、各流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃの分配量がほぼ等しい場合は、左右対称の位置に設置することが望ましいが、各流出管２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃの分配量が不均一の場合は、図１１に示すように遮蔽板７を左右非対称な位置に設置したり、図１２に示すように遮蔽板７に穴１９をあけて、容器内部の液膜が均一になるように調節することも可能である。
【００２５】
実施の形態４．
図１３および図１４は、この発明の実施の形態の一例を示す図で、図１３（ａ）は気液二相分配器の上面図、図１３（ｂ）は気液二相分配器の正面図、図１４は気液二相分配器の側面図である。
図において、１は流入管からなる流入部、２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃは流出管からなる流出部、３は容器である。容器３の内部には気液二相流体を衝突させ分流させるための平面を持つ分流生成部３ａが設けられている。７は遮蔽板からなる遮蔽部材、８はガイドである。側板１５は円を円周軸方向に２分割した半円形状である。遮蔽板７は容器３内部において流入管１の近傍に配置されるのに対し、ガイド８は容器３内部において、上部に配置されるものである。１６は容器３内部に形成される液膜、２２は容器３を構成する円弧部分である。
【００２６】
動作について説明する。流入管１から容器３に流入した気液二相流体は、遮蔽板７に衝突し左右に分流され容器内部の円弧部分２２に沿って容器３の上部に流れ、さらに、容器３の上部に設けられた分流生成部３ａに衝突した液は容器３の上部壁面に沿って流れ、その一部は重力によって下方へ落下する。この際、ガイド８を設置し容器３の上部を流れる液の流路抵抗を変えることによって、容器３の上部の任意の位置から流れ落ちる液量を制御することが可能となる。
【００２７】
従って、ガイド８を設置し、液膜が厚くなる部分の流路抵抗、例えば、ガイド８と側板１５との間隔を調整することによって、容器３の上部から流れ落ちる液量を制御することができるので、容器内壁面を流れる液膜を均一化することが可能であり、これによって分配管の流路断面積の比を所定の液分配量の比として決定する場合の液分配量の精度が改善できる。さらに、ガイド８の形状変更によって故意に液分配量を調節することもできる。
【００２８】
なお、ガイド８と容器３上部の内面とのスペースは、必ずしも必要とは限らない。また、各流出管２ａ、２ｂ、２ｃの各分配量がほぼ等しい場合は、ガイド８の設置位置を左右対称の位置に設置することが望ましいが、各流出管２ａ、２ｂ、２ｃの分配量が不均一の場合は、図１５に示すようにガイド８を左右非対称の位置に設置したり、図１６に示すようにガイド８に穴１９を開けることによって、容器３内部の液膜１６を均一にすることも可能である。
【００２９】
実施の形態５．
図１７は、この発明の実施の形態の一例を示す図で、気液二相分配器の構成図である。
図において、１は流入管からなる流入部、２ａ，２ｂ，２ｃは流出管からなる流出部、３は容器である。また、容器３の側面に平行な方向をＸ軸、容器３の側面に垂直な方向をＹ軸、鉛直方向をＺ軸とし、容器３のＸ，Ｙ，Ｚ軸方向の寸法をｘ，ｙ，ｚとする。
【００３０】
容器３に内圧がかかる場合、容器３の側面２６，上面２７および円弧面２８には曲げ応力が発生する。ここで、最大応力は、（ｘ，ｙ）（ｙ，ｚ）（ｚ，ｘ）の３つの組合せの中で、小さい方の数が一番大きくなる組合せの面で発生する。例えば、ｘ>ｚ>ｙとすると、（ｚ，ｘ）の面で最大応力が発生する。
ここで、最大応力δmax、Ｚ方向の寸法ｚおよび板厚ｔの間には次の関係式が成り立つ。
δmax ∝ ｚ^２／ｔ^２ ………………………………(式３)
(式３)から、δmax 一定において、ｚの寸法を小さくすると、板厚を薄くすることができる。
【００３１】
従って、容器３において互いに直交するＸＹＺ軸方向の寸法のうち、ある２方向の寸法が他の１方向の寸法よりも小さくすることによって、分配器の内圧強度が高まり、分配器を薄肉・軽量・コンパクト化することができる。
【００３２】
実施の形態６．
図１８および図１９は、この発明の実施の形態の一例を示す図で、図１８は気液二相分配器の構成図、図１９は気液二相分配器を構成するプレートの形状を示す図である。
図１９において、２３は流出管２を接合する流出板、２４は容器３の中空部分となる流路板、２５は容器３の中空部分にふたをする板である。
【００３３】
流出板２３および流路板２４はプレス加工によって穴を打ち抜き、次に流出板２３、流路板２４および側板２５を重ね合わせて炉中ろう付けを行い、一体化し分配器を製造する。
【００３４】
この結果、分配器を製造する際、板を所定の形状にプレス加工するラインと、プレス加工した板を重ね合わせて炉中ろう付けするラインを直列につなぐことによって、分配器を自動ラインで製造することが可能となり、生産性を向上させることができる。
【００３５】
実施の形態７．
図２０および２１はこの発明の実施の形態の一例を示す図で、図２０は気液二相分配器の側面図、図２１は気液二相分配器の正面図である。
図中、１は流入管からなる流入部、２は流出管からなる流出部、３は容器、１０ａ，１０ｂはシェルであり、これらを接合して圧力容器１７とする。また、圧力容器１７の内部には、容器３を内蔵する。１８は容器３内部と圧力容器１７の内部を均圧する均圧孔である。
【００３６】
容器３に内圧がかかる場合には、均圧孔１８を通じて容器３内部と外部が均圧するので、容器３には大きな内圧はかからず、圧力容器１７に内圧力がかかる。したがって、容器３には分配機能を満たす最小限度の強度を持たせるだけの設計をすればよい。また、圧力容器１７のシェル１０ａ，１０ｂを薄肉化することができる。
【００３７】
したがって、圧力容器１７に容器３を内蔵することによって、内圧が生じる分配器において分配器を軽量化することが可能となる。
【００３８】
実施の形態８．
図２２は冷凍サイクル中に本分配器を組み込んだ場合の冷凍サイクルの冷媒回路を示す。図中、２９は圧縮機、３０は凝縮器、３１は高圧レシーバ、３２は絞り装置、３４ａ〜３４ｃは蒸発器、３５は低圧レシーバであり、これらを順次接続して冷凍サイクルを構成する。また、高圧レシーバ３１内部は仕切り板３３によって２つの空間に分割され、分割された１つの空間は液溜めの機能を持たせ、残りの空間には分配器を内蔵し均圧孔１８を通して分配器内外を均圧することによって分配器の耐圧機能を果たす。
【００３９】
したがって、高圧レシーバ３１に液溜めの機能と分配器の耐圧機能とを持たせることによって、生産性を高め、かつ、製造コストを削減することが可能となる。
なお、この実施の形態では、分配器を高圧レシーバに内蔵する例を示したが、同様な構造を用いて分配器を低圧レシーバや圧縮機に内蔵することも可能である。
【００４０】
【発明の効果】
第１の発明の分配器によれば、所定の液膜が形成される容器内面の液膜形成部分に開口して水平方向に並設された流出口の面積によって液の分配量を決定できるので、簡易な構成で液を所定の比率で精度よく分配できかつ圧力損失を小さくすることができる。また、分配器の設計も容易にできる。
【００４１】
第２の発明の分配器によれば、複数の流出口を組合わせて共通の流出口を形成する構成によって、液の分配精度を高めることができる。
【００４２】
第３の発明の分配器によれば、容器内部に遮蔽部材を設置することによって、左右両端の流出管への液分配量を確保することができ、流出口が多くなる場合において分配精度を高めることができる。
【００４３】
第４の発明の分配器によれば、容器内部にガイドを設置することによって容器内部の流路抵抗を変化させ、分配器内壁面に形成される液膜を均一化することによってより精度よく液を分配することができる。
【００４４】
第５の発明の分配器によれば、分配器に内圧がかかる場合において、容器における互いに直交するＸＹＺ軸方向の寸法のうち、ある２方向の寸法が他の１方向の寸法よりも小さくすることによって、内圧強度が高まり、薄肉・軽量化することができる。
【００４５】
第６の発明の分配器によれば、分配器に内圧がかかる場合において、分配器を耐圧シェルに内蔵することによって、耐圧強度を高めかつ軽量化することができる。また、冷凍サイクルに本分配器を用いる場合には、分配器を高圧レシーバ等の圧力容器に内蔵することによって、生産性を高め、製造コストを低減することも可能である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a structure of a low pressure loss distributor capable of distributing a liquid distribution amount to a predetermined ratio in a gas-liquid two-phase distributor used for a refrigeration / air conditioner.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 23 shows a distributor described in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-81794. In FIG. 23, 1 denotes an inflow pipe, 2 denotes an outflow pipe, 12 denotes an inflowing gas-liquid two-phase fluid, 12a denotes a gas phase portion, and 12b denotes a liquid phase portion. 13a and 13b are outlet fluids, and 14a and 14b are small holes.
The operation will be described. When the inflow pipe 1 is arranged perpendicular to the weight direction and the bending direction of the U-bend-shaped outflow pipe 2 is in the vertical direction, the gas-liquid two-phase fluid flowing in from the inflow pipe 1 has two From the small holes 14a and 14b, they are equally divided in a state of being mixed in the form of spray with partial evaporation, and ejected to the U-bend-shaped outflow pipe 2. The gas-liquid two-phase fluid ejected from the small holes 14a and 14b to the outflow pipe 2 is distributed to the outflow pipe 2b on the lower side of the distributor without the liquid being biased.
[0003]
FIG. 24 shows a header-shaped distributor described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-301472. In the figure, 1 is an inflow tube, 2 is an outflow tube, 20 is a cylindrical tube, and 21 is an insertion tube material. Reference numerals 9 and 11 denote a liquid and bubbles flowing inside the cylindrical tube 9, respectively. In the distributor having such a configuration, the gas-liquid two-phase fluid flowing into the cylindrical tube 20 from the inflow pipe 1 gradually flows out from the outflow pipe 2. Here, since the insertion tube material 21 is inserted into the cylindrical tube 20, the flow path cross-sectional area in the cylindrical tube 20 gradually decreases in the flow direction, and the flow velocity becomes extremely high even if the fluid flows to the upper part of the cylinder. There is no decrease.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Among the conventional distributors as described above, in the distributor described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-81794, a large pressure loss occurs when the fluid passes through a small hole having a diameter smaller than the flow path cross-sectional area of the inflow pipe 1. Therefore, there is a problem that the performance of the single heat exchanger is lowered or the coefficient of performance of the refrigeration cycle is lowered due to an increase in low pressure loss.
Further, in the header described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-301472, the flow mode of gas and liquid in the cylindrical tube changes depending on the amount of gas and liquid flowing out from the outflow pipe 2, and the insertion tube material 21 depends on the flow rate flowing out from the outflow pipe 2. This has to be determined by trial and error, and it is difficult to obtain the optimum shape of the insertion tube 21.
[0005]
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is a low-cost gas-liquid two-phase distributor that is low in pressure loss and that is easy to design and manufacture and that can accurately distribute gas and liquid with a simple configuration. The purpose is to obtain.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the gas-liquid two-phase distributor according to the first aspect of the present invention, the projection surface in the direction of the flowing-out liquid has a semicircular, semi-elliptical or triangular shape, and the gas-liquid two-phase fluid collides and splits. a container having a shunt generator having a plane inside the container inner surface diverted by diverging the liquid by colliding a gas-liquid two-phase fluid from a vertical direction and opens into the container in the plane of the shunt generator Of the fluid flowing in from the inflow portion in the same direction from the inflow portion that forms a liquid film on the inner surface of the container and the liquid film formation portion on the inner surface of the container and arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction . A plurality of outflow portions that protrude in a direction different from the flow direction and extend out of the flow direction of the fluid flowing in by the inflow portion, and are opened to the inner surface of the container in the plurality of outflow portions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 and 2 are diagrams showing an example of an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view of a gas-liquid two-phase distributor, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the gas-liquid two-phase distributor.
[0013]
In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, 1 is an inflow part consisting of an inflow pipe, 2a, 2b, 2c are outflow parts consisting of an outflow pipe, and 3 is a container. Inside the container 3, there is provided a flow dividing unit 3 a having a flat surface for colliding and dividing the gas-liquid two-phase fluid. Reference numerals 15a and 15b denote side portions of the container 3, which are called side plates. The side plates 15a and 15b have a semicircular shape obtained by dividing a circle into two in the circumferential axis direction. The inflow pipe 1 is connected to the lower part of the container 3, and the outflow pipes 2a, 2b and 2c are connected to the side plate 15b. Reference numeral 16 denotes a liquid film formed inside the container 3. The distributor is installed so that the inflow pipe 1 is in the vertical direction.
[0014]
The operation will be described. The gas-liquid two-phase fluid that has flowed into the container 3 from the inflow pipe 1 collides from the vertical direction with the plane of the split flow generation unit 3a provided at the upper part of the inner surface of the container 3, spreads by the collision, and is liquidated on the inner wall of the container 3 The separated flow forms a membrane. The liquid film produced here tends to be uniform mainly due to the symmetry of the container 3 and the influence of the surface tension. For this reason, the ratios of the liquid amounts Ga, Gb, Gc per unit time flowing into the outflow pipes 2a, 2b, 2c attached to the side plate 15b of the container 3 are the thicknesses ta, tb of the liquid film at the inlet of each branch pipe. , Tc and the product of the flow path cross-sectional areas Aa, Ab, Ac of the outflow pipes 2a, 2b, 2c.
Ga: Gb: Gc = (ta · Aa) :( tb · Ab) :( tc · Ac) (Formula 1)
Here, when the liquid film is uniform (when ta = tb = tc), the ratio of the liquid amount per unit time flowing into the outflow pipes 2a, 2b, 2c is the ratio of the cross-sectional areas of the outflow pipes 2a, 2b, 2c. Is almost equal to
Ga: Gb: Gc = Aa: Ab: Ac (2)
[0015]
Therefore, by making the ratio of the predetermined liquid distribution amount equal to the ratio of the cross-sectional areas of the outflow pipes 2a, 2b, 2c, it becomes possible to obtain a gas-liquid distribution amount of an arbitrary ratio with high accuracy with a simple configuration, and easily Can be designed.
[0016]
In this embodiment, the case where there are three outflow pipes 2 has been described. However, the same number of outflow pipes 2 have the same effect. The shape of the side plates 15a, 15b are not particularly semicircular only, may be a triangle or a shape of a semi-elliptical shape, or the like as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the side plate 15 is curved not plane only It doesn't matter.
Further, the shape of the side plate 15 is preferably symmetrical when the distribution amount of each outflow pipe 2a, 2b, 2c is substantially uniform, but the ratio of the distribution amount of each outflow pipe 2a, 2b, 2c is biased. Alternatively, a left-right asymmetric shape as shown in FIG. 4 may be used.
When this distributor is incorporated in a refrigeration cycle and gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant is distributed to a plurality of evaporators, the amount of liquid distributed to each evaporator can be controlled. In addition, it can be applied because it can be distributed at an appropriate mixing ratio according to the load of each evaporator.
[0017]
Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the embodiment of the present invention, and is a configuration diagram of a gas-liquid two-phase distributor.
In the figure, 1 is an inflow part comprising an inflow pipe, 2a, 2b, 2c are outflow parts comprising an outflow pipe, and 3 is a container. Inside the container 3, there is provided a flow dividing unit 3 a having a flat surface for colliding and dividing the gas-liquid two-phase fluid. 4 a to 4 i are a plurality of outlets opened on the side of the container 3, 5 is a junction member composed of a junction plate joined to the side plate 15 where the outlets 4 a to 4 i are opened, and 6 is a distribution plate joined to the junction plate 5. It is a distribution member which consists of. The side plate 15 has a semicircular shape in which a circle is divided into two in the circumferential axis direction. The inflow pipe 1 and the junction plate 5 and the distribution plate 6 are sequentially joined to the side plate 15 in which the inflow pipe 1 and the outflow port 4 are opened. It becomes an integrated distributor.
[0018]
The operation will be described. The gas-liquid two-phase fluid that has flowed into the container 3 from the inflow pipe 1 collides from the vertical direction with the plane of the split flow generation unit 3a provided at the upper part of the inner surface of the container 3, spreads by the collision, and is liquidated on the inner wall of the container 3 The separated flow forms a membrane. The liquid film produced here tends to be uniform due to the symmetry of the container 3 and the influence of the surface tension. The liquid flowing down the inner wall of the container flows out of the container 3 from the outlet 4.
Here, the flow rate of the liquid flowing into the outlets 4a to 4i varies, for example, with respect to the average value of the distribution amount as shown in FIG. Since this variation is reproducible, this variation is examined in advance and the shape of the hole in the junction plate 5 is determined.
When the liquid flowing out from the plurality of outlets by the junction plate 5 is combined into one by forming a common outlet, the flow rate of the combined liquids is obtained by combining the outlets 4a to 4i that have been examined in advance. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the liquid flow rates La, Lb, and Lc flowing out from the distribution pipes 2a, 2b, and 2c can be arbitrarily changed depending on the combination of the outlets 4a to 4i.
[0019]
Therefore, by joining the junction plate 5 and the distributor 6 to the container 3, it is possible to reduce a distribution amount variation error, and to obtain an arbitrary gas-liquid distribution amount with a simple configuration with high accuracy.
[0020]
Embodiment 3 FIG.
8 and 9 are diagrams showing an example of the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a front view of the gas-liquid two-phase distributor, and FIG. 9 is a side view of the gas-liquid two-phase distributor. In the figure, 1 is an inflow part comprising an inflow pipe, 2a, 2b, 2c are outflow parts comprising an outflow pipe, and 3 is a container. Inside the container 3, there is provided a flow dividing unit 3 a having a flat surface for colliding and dividing the gas-liquid two-phase fluid. Reference numeral 7 denotes a shielding member made of a shielding plate. The container 3 has a shape obtained by dividing a circle into two in the circumferential axis direction. Reference numeral 22 denotes an arc portion constituting the container 3.
[0021]
The operation will be described. The gas-liquid two-phase fluid that has flowed into the container 3 from the inflow pipe 1 collides with the shielding plate 7 and partially shields the central portion inside the container 3 from the fluid into which the shielding plate 7 flows. The liquid that is divided into the right and left and flows along the circular arc part 22 inside the container to the upper part of the container 3, and the liquid that has collided with the flow dividing unit 3 a provided at the upper part of the container 3 flows along the upper wall surface of the container 3, Some fall down due to gravity. In the process of dropping, the liquid passing near the outflow pipe inlet flows into the outflow pipe as it is and flows out to the outside. The liquid that has not flowed outside flows down to the upper part of the shielding plate 7, joins the liquid that flows in from the inflow pipe 1, and flows again to the upper part of the container 3 along the arc of the container 3.
[0022]
FIG. 10 shows changes in the liquid distribution characteristics when the shielding plate 7 is installed inside the container 3 and when it is not installed. In FIG. 10, the horizontal axis indicates the branch port number, the left branch port being the branch port 1, the central branch port being the branch port 2, and the right branch port being the branch port 3. The vertical axis indicates the ratio of the liquid distribution amount to each branch port when the target value of the distribution liquid amount at each branch port is 100. As shown in FIG. 10, by providing the shielding plate, the liquid amount distribution amount to the central branch port 2 is reduced, and the left and right liquid distribution amounts are increased.
[0023]
Therefore, by providing the shielding plate 7, it becomes possible to secure the amount of liquid distribution in the outflow pipes located at the left and right ends, and it is possible to branch accurately even when there are many outflow pipes.
[0024]
In addition, when the distribution amount of each outflow pipe 2a, 2b, 2c is substantially equal, it is desirable to install the shielding plate 7 at a symmetrical position, but the distribution amount of each outflow pipe 2a, 2b, 2c. Is not uniform, as shown in FIG. 11, the shielding plate 7 is installed at a left-right asymmetric position, or as shown in FIG. 12, holes 19 are made in the shielding plate 7 so that the liquid film inside the container is uniform. It is also possible to make adjustments.
[0025]
Embodiment 4 FIG.
FIGS. 13 and 14 are views showing an example of the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 13 (a) is a top view of a gas-liquid two-phase distributor, and FIG. 13 (b) is a front view of the gas-liquid two-phase distributor. 14 and 14 are side views of the gas-liquid two-phase distributor.
In the figure, 1 is an inflow part comprising an inflow pipe, 2a, 2b, 2c are outflow parts comprising an outflow pipe, and 3 is a container. Inside the container 3, there is provided a flow dividing unit 3 a having a flat surface for colliding and dividing the gas-liquid two-phase fluid. 7 is a shielding member made of a shielding plate, and 8 is a guide. The side plate 15 has a semicircular shape in which a circle is divided into two in the circumferential axis direction. The shielding plate 7 is arranged in the vicinity of the inflow pipe 1 inside the container 3, while the guide 8 is arranged at the upper part inside the container 3. Reference numeral 16 denotes a liquid film formed inside the container 3, and 22 denotes an arc portion constituting the container 3.
[0026]
The operation will be described. The gas-liquid two-phase fluid that has flowed into the container 3 from the inflow pipe 1 collides with the shielding plate 7, is divided into left and right, flows to the upper part of the container 3 along the arc portion 22 inside the container, and is further provided at the upper part of the container 3. The liquid that has collided with the divided flow generation unit 3a flows along the upper wall surface of the container 3, and a part thereof falls downward due to gravity. At this time, it is possible to control the amount of liquid flowing down from an arbitrary position above the container 3 by installing the guide 8 and changing the flow path resistance of the liquid flowing above the container 3.
[0027]
Therefore, the amount of liquid flowing down from the upper part of the container 3 can be controlled by installing the guide 8 and adjusting the flow path resistance of the portion where the liquid film becomes thick, for example, the distance between the guide 8 and the side plate 15. The liquid film flowing on the inner wall surface of the container can be made uniform, thereby improving the accuracy of the liquid distribution amount when the ratio of the flow passage cross-sectional area of the distribution pipe is determined as the ratio of the predetermined liquid distribution amount. . Furthermore, the liquid distribution amount can be intentionally adjusted by changing the shape of the guide 8.
[0028]
In addition, the space of the guide 8 and the inner surface of the container 3 upper part is not necessarily required. In addition, when the distribution amounts of the outflow pipes 2a, 2b, and 2c are substantially equal, it is desirable to install the guide 8 at a symmetrical position, but the distribution amounts of the outflow pipes 2a, 2b, and 2c are the same. In the case of non-uniformity, the liquid film 16 inside the container 3 is made uniform by installing the guide 8 at a left-right asymmetric position as shown in FIG. 15 or by making a hole 19 in the guide 8 as shown in FIG. It is also possible to do.
[0029]
Embodiment 5 FIG.
FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of the embodiment of the present invention, and is a configuration diagram of a gas-liquid two-phase distributor.
In the figure, 1 is an inflow part comprising an inflow pipe, 2a, 2b, 2c are outflow parts comprising an outflow pipe, and 3 is a container. The direction parallel to the side surface of the container 3 is the X axis, the direction perpendicular to the side surface of the container 3 is the Y axis, the vertical direction is the Z axis, and the dimensions of the container 3 in the X, Y, and Z axis directions are x, y, z.
[0030]
When internal pressure is applied to the container 3, bending stress is generated on the side surface 26, the upper surface 27, and the circular arc surface 28 of the container 3. Here, the maximum stress is generated on the plane of the combination in which the smaller number is the largest among the three combinations (x, y) (y, z) (z, x). For example, when x>z> y, the maximum stress is generated in the (z, x) plane.
Here, the following relational expression holds among the maximum stress δmax, the dimension z in the Z direction, and the plate thickness t.
δmax ∝ z ² / t ² ……………………………… (Formula 3)
From (Equation 3), when δmax is constant and the dimension of z is reduced, the plate thickness can be reduced.
[0031]
Therefore, by reducing the dimension in one direction from the dimensions in the XYZ axial directions orthogonal to each other in the container 3, the internal pressure strength of the distributor is increased, and the distributor is thin, lightweight, It can be made compact.
[0032]
Embodiment 6 FIG.

In FIG. 19, 23 is an outflow plate that joins the outflow pipe 2, 24 is a flow path plate that becomes a hollow portion of the container 3, and 25 is a plate that covers the hollow portion of the container 3.
[0033]
The outflow plate 23 and the flow path plate 24 are punched by pressing, and then the outflow plate 23, the flow path plate 24 and the side plate 25 are overlapped and brazed in the furnace, and are integrated to manufacture a distributor.
[0034]
As a result, when the distributor is manufactured, the distributor is manufactured on an automatic line by connecting the line for pressing the plate into a predetermined shape and the line for brazing the pressed plate in the furnace in series. It is possible to improve productivity.
[0035]

20 and 21 are views showing an example of an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 20 is a side view of a gas-liquid two-phase distributor, and FIG. 21 is a front view of the gas-liquid two-phase distributor.
In the figure, 1 is an inflow portion comprising an inflow tube, 2 is an outflow portion comprising an outflow tube, 3 is a container, 10a and 10b are shells, and these are joined to form a pressure vessel 17. Further, the container 3 is built in the pressure vessel 17. 18 is a pressure equalizing hole for equalizing the inside of the container 3 and the inside of the pressure container 17.
[0036]
When an internal pressure is applied to the container 3, the inside and outside of the container 3 are equalized through the pressure equalizing hole 18, so that a large internal pressure is not applied to the container 3 and an internal pressure is applied to the pressure container 17. Therefore, the container 3 may be designed to have a minimum strength that satisfies the distribution function. Moreover, the shells 10a and 10b of the pressure vessel 17 can be thinned.
[0037]
Therefore, by incorporating the container 3 in the pressure container 17, it is possible to reduce the weight of the distributor in the distributor that generates the internal pressure.
[0038]

FIG. 22 shows a refrigerant circuit of the refrigeration cycle when the distributor is incorporated in the refrigeration cycle. In the figure, 29 is a compressor, 30 is a condenser, 31 is a high-pressure receiver, 32 is a throttling device, 34a to 34c are evaporators, and 35 is a low-pressure receiver, which are sequentially connected to constitute a refrigeration cycle. The interior of the high-pressure receiver 31 is divided into two spaces by a partition plate 33. One of the divided spaces has a liquid reservoir function, and the remaining space has a distributor built in and is distributed through the pressure equalizing hole 18. The pressure function of the distributor is achieved by equalizing the inside and outside.
[0039]
Therefore, by providing the high-pressure receiver 31 with a liquid storage function and a pressure-withstanding function of the distributor, it becomes possible to increase productivity and reduce manufacturing costs.
In this embodiment, the example in which the distributor is built in the high-pressure receiver has been described. However, it is also possible to incorporate the distributor in the low-pressure receiver or the compressor using a similar structure.
[0040]
