Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The disclosure relates to a field of refrigeration
technology, in particular to an air conditioner oil separator, a
condenser, and an air conditioner.
BACKGROUND
[0002] With a development of air conditioning condenser unit, in
order to simplify connection pipelines outside of a unit and
beautify an appearance of the unit, external independent oil
separators of many condenser units are canceled, and a component
with an oil-gas separation function is disposed on an inner top of
a housing of the condenser, to make full use of a top space of the
housing of the condenser.
[0003] FIG. 1 shows a structure diagram of a condenser known to the
inventors. As shown in FIG. 1, an air conditioner condenser known
to the inventors includes a housing 1, and an inlet 2 and an outlet
3 disposed on the housing 1. Both the inlet 2 and the outlet 3 are
disposed on a first end of the housing 1. The condenser further
includes a first pipeline and a second pipeline disposed in the
housing 1. A first end of the first pipeline communicates with the
inlet 2, a first end of the second pipeline communicates with the
outlet, and a second end of the second pipeline communicates with a
second end of the first pipeline.
[0004] There is also a support plate 5 for supporting the first
pipeline and the second pipeline arranged in the housing 1. A first
hole matching with the first pipeline and a second hole matching
with the second pipeline are disposed on the support plate 5. The
first pipeline is disposed in the first hole in a penetrating
manner, and the second pipeline is disposed in the second hole in a
penetrating manner.
[0005] There are a plurality of first pipelines, and all the first
ends of the plurality of first pipelines communicate with the inlet
2. There are a plurality of second pipelines, and all the first
ends of the plurality of second pipelines communicate with the
outlet 3.
[0006] There is also an oil separator 4 arranged in the housing 1.
The oil separator 4 is on the inner top of the housing 1 of the
condenser.
[0007] FIG. 2 shows a structure diagram of a oil separator known to
the inventors. As shown in FIG. 2, the oil separator includes a
chamber. A gas inlet 7 for introducing a refrigerant to be
separated and a gas outlet 6 for outputting the separated
refrigerant are disposed on the chamber. The gas inlet 7 and the
gas outlet 6 are arranged on a same side face of the chamber. In
some embodiments, both the gas inlet 7 and the gas outlet 6 are
disposed on an upper end of the chamber.
[0008] An exhaust port of a compressor communicates with the gas
inlet 7 of the oil separator 4. The refrigerant separated by the
oil separator 4 is discharged from gas outlet 6 to the inner cavity
of the housing 1 of the condenser, and performs heat exchange with
a medium in the first pipeline and the second pipeline.
[0009] As shown in FIG. 2, a width of the chamber shrinks along the
direction away from the gas outlet 6. An end, away from the gas
outlet 6, of the chamber is provided with an oil drainage port 9
for draining an oil separated from the refrigerant.
[0010] The refrigerant changes a flow direction after entering the
chamber through the gas inlet 7, and finally flows out from the
chamber of the oil separator 4 through the gas outlet 6. In a
process of the refrigerant changing the flow direction, the oil is
separated from the refrigerant under the inertia effect. In order
to further improve a separation efficiency of the oil separator 4,
there is a filter component 8 disposed at the gas outlet 6, to
further separate the oil in the refrigerant.
[0011] Pressures of airflow in areas at different distances from
the gas outlet 6 and the gas inlet 7 are different too. In order to
ensure that the separation efficiencies of the refrigerants output
from all the areas of the gas outlet 6 achieve a predetermined
effect, filtering performance of the filter component 8 is designed
by the standard of a requirement of the area with the maximum
pressure of airflow. Therefore, in the area with the relatively low
pressure of airflow, the performance of the filter component 8
causes an unnecessary waste, and the filter component in the area
produces unnecessary resistance to airflow. Therefore, the filter
component 8 with single performance arranged at the outlet of the
oil separator 4 is an unnecessary waste for the area with
relatively low pressure of airflow, and causes an airflow blockage
to the area with relatively low pressure of airflow.

[0012] Some embodiments of the disclosure provide an air
conditioner oil separator, a condenser and an air conditioner, to
alleviate a problem in an air conditioner oil separator known to
inventors that a filter component with single performance is not
adaptable to requirements of areas at different distances from an
inlet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure
will be clearly and fully described below in combination with the
drawings in the embodiments of the disclosure. It is apparent that
the described embodiments are not all embodiments but part of
embodiments of the disclosure. The description of at least one
exemplary embodiment below is actually just illustrative, and is
never seen as any limit to the disclosure and its application or
use. Based on the embodiments of the disclosure, all the other
embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art on the
premise of not contributing creative effort should belong to the
protection scope of the disclosure.
[0050] FIG. 3 illustrates a structure diagram of an air conditioner
oil separator according to an embodiment. FIG. 4 illustrates a
partial enlarged drawing of an air conditioner oil separator
according to an embodiment.
[0051] In combination with FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the air conditioner
oil separator of some embodiments includes a chamber 1, a gas inlet
2 disposed on the chamber 1 and a gas outlet disposed on the
chamber 1. The gas inlet 2 and the gas outlet are arranged on a
same side face of the chamber 1. The gas outlet is provided with a
filter component 3. The filter component 3 is configured to filter
oil mixed in a refrigerant.
[0052] The gas outlet extends in a length direction of the oil
separator. In some embodiments, the gas outlet includes a first gas
outlet and a second gas outlet respectively disposed at two sides
of the gas inlet 2, to shorten a length of each gas outlet, thus a
pressure difference of airflow between the two gas outlets is
reduced.
[0053] In some embodiments, the air conditioner oil separator
further includes a baffle 4 disposed in the chamber 1. The baffle 4
is opposite to the gas inlet 2. After entering the chamber 1, the
refrigerant to be separated first impacts with the baffle 4. After
the refrigerant to be separated impacts with the baffle 4, because
oil and gaseous refrigerant have different inertias, the oil and
the gaseous refrigerant are separated for the first time.
[0054] After the first separation, the refrigerant mixed with less
oil moves to the two sides of the gas inlet 2, and then enters the
condenser after being filtered by the filter component 3, and
performs heat exchanger with other media in the condenser.
[0055] Because of an inertia effect of airflow, pressures of
airflow of various areas in a direction away from the gas inlet 2
in the chamber 1 are different. If the filter component 3 with
single performance is adopted, because the pressures of the
airflows passing through the various areas of the filter component
3 are different, correspondingly the pressures of the airflows
after passing through the filter component 3 are not uniform.
[0056] In some embodiments, the performance of the filter component
3 is a separation efficiency of the filter component, namely a
ratio between oil content of the refrigerant before passing through
the filter component 3 and oil content of the refrigerant after
passing through the filter component 3. Generally, the greater a
thickness of the filter component 3, the higher the separation
efficiency, correspondingly, the greater the resistance to the
refrigerant; the greater the density of the filter component 3, the
higher the separation efficiency, correspondingly, the greater the
resistance to the refrigerant. In some embodiments, the separation
efficiency of the filter component 3 is also related to the
material of the filter component 3.
[0057] In order to ensure that a filtering effect of the filter
component 3 on the refrigerant at any position achieves a
predetermined requirement, the performance of the filter component
3 with single performance is often designed to the highest
requirements. The better the filtering performance of the filter
component 3, the greater the resistance to the airflow of the
refrigerant, so the resistance of the filter component 3 to the
refrigerant in an area with relatively low pressure of airflow is
too great.
[0058] To solve the above problem, the filter component 3 of some
embodiments includes a first filter area 31, a second filter area
32 and a third filter area 33 sequentially disposed in a direction
close to the gas inlet 2. The third filter area 33 is close to the
gas inlet 2. The third filter area 33 is also a filter area closest
to the gas inlet 2 of multiple filter areas.
[0059] At a position close to the gas inlet 2, most refrigerants
flow towards the direction away from the gas inlet 2, and the rest
refrigerants flow out from the oil separator through the third
filter area 33. As the refrigerant flows away from the gas inlet 2,
more refrigerants flow out from the oil separator through the
second filter area 32; therefore, a pressure of airflow of the
refrigerant in the third filter area 33 is lower than that in the
second filter area 32. As the refrigerant flows away from the gas
inlet 2, the pressure of airflow of the refrigerant gets lower and
lower; therefore, the pressure of airflow of the refrigerant in the
first filter area 31 is lower than that in the second filter area
32.
[0060] In order to adapt the separation efficiency of each filter
area to the pressure of airflow of the refrigerant, in some
embodiments, a separation efficiency of the first filter area 31
for a refrigerant is lower than that of the second filter area 32
for a refrigerant, and the separation efficiency of the third
filter area 33 for a refrigerant is lower than that of the second
filter area 32 for a refrigerant.
[0061] In some embodiments, the separation efficiency of the third
filter area 33 for the refrigerant is higher than that of the first
filter area 31 for the refrigerant.
[0062] In some embodiments, by setting the filter components with
corresponding performances according to the pressures of airflow of
various areas in the direction away from the gas inlet 2, the
performance of the filter component is fully used, and it is
beneficial to ensuring the uniformity of the pressures of airflow
output by various areas of the gas outlet.
[0063] As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the gas outlet with
a length L is divided into the first filter area 31, the second
filter area 32 and the third filter area 33. All the sizes, in the
direction away from the gas inlet 2, of the first filter area 31,
the second filter area 32 and the third filter area 33 are
1/3L.
[0064] The thicknesses and the materials of the filter components
of the first filter area 31, the second filter area 32 and the
third filter area 33 are the same. The densities of the first
filter area 31, the second filter area 32 and the third filter area
33 are respectively H.sub.1, H.sub.2 and H.sub.3. The separation
efficiencies of the first filter area 31, the second filter area 32
and the third filter area 33 are respectively E.sub.1, E.sub.2 and
E.sub.3. Wherein, H.sub.2>H.sub.3>H.sub.1, and
E.sub.2>E.sub.3>E.sub.1. The filter component made of the
material with a higher separation efficiency or a greater density
is disposed at the position bearing a larger impact of airflow or
close to the gas inlet 2, and the filter component made of the
material with a lower separation efficiency or a less density is
disposed at the position bearing a smaller impact of airflow or
away from the gas inlet. Thus, improves the degree of uniform
distribution of airflow and reduces the pressure drop.
[0065] In some embodiments, the thicknesses of the filter
components of the first filter area 31, the second filter area 32
and the third filter area 33 are the same, but the materials are
different, so that E.sub.2>E.sub.3>E.sub.1.
[0066] In some embodiments, the densities and materials of the
filter components of the first filter area 31, the second filter
area 32 and the third filter area 33 are the same, but the
thicknesses are different, so that
E.sub.2>E.sub.3>E.sub.1.
[0067] In some embodiments, a width of the chamber 1 shrinks along
the direction away from the filter component 3. An end, away from
the filter component 3, of the chamber 1 is provided with an oil
drainage port. The filter component 3 is disposed on a top of the
chamber 1. The oil separated by the oil separator gathers at a
bottom of the chamber 1, and the gathered oil is drained through
the oil drainage port.
[0068] According to another aspect of the disclosure, some
embodiments also provide a condenser. The condenser includes a
housing and the air conditioner oil separator. The air conditioner
oil separator is disposed in the housing. There is also a pipeline
for the medium for heat exchange to flow arranged in the housing.
The refrigerant discharged from the oil separator flows in an inner
cavity of the housing, and performs heat exchange with the medium
for heat exchange in the pipeline.
[0069] In some embodiments, the pipeline includes a first pipeline
and a second pipeline. A first end of the first pipeline is used
for introducing the medium for heat exchange with the refrigerant,
and a first end of the second pipeline is used for outputting the
medium after heat exchange with the refrigerant. A second end of
the second pipeline communicates with a second end of the first
pipeline.
[0070] There are a plurality of first pipelines and a plurality of
second pipelines. A first end of a housing of the condenser is
provided with a medium inlet and a medium outlet. The first ends of
the plurality of first pipelines communicate with the medium inlet,
and the second ends of the plurality of second pipelines
communicate with the medium outlet.
[0071] In some embodiments the first pipeline and the second
pipeline are respectively arranged at two sides of the air
conditioner oil separator.
[0072] Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide an
air conditioner. The air conditioner includes a compressor and the
condenser. An exhaust port of the compressor communicates with the
gas inlet 2 of the air conditioner oil separator.
[0073] The above is only some embodiments of the disclosure and not
intended to limit the disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent
replacements, improvements and the like made within the spirit and
principle of the disclosure shall fall within the scope of
protection of the disclosure.
