Description

Absorption Compact Air Conditioner

The present invention relates to an absorption type air conditioner and an air conditioner. The heating source is a gas (GAS), and a miniaturized absorption type air conditioner and a heater can be installed in a small building or a general home.

Generally, refrigerators are classified into compression refrigerators, absorption refrigerators, steam jet refrigerators, and thermoelectric refrigerators according to the freezing method. In areas with long or tropical climates, the frequency of use is increasing continuously. Absorption-type freezer among these is a refrigerator using gas absorbency to liquid. In the coexistence state of gas and liquid, gas is absorbed into liquid at low temperature and low pressure, and when it is heated at high pressure, the gas liberated in vapor state undergoes heat exchange. A refrigeration cycle using a gas-liquid cycle for condensing and expanding the vaporized gas to be absorbed back into the liquid;

-As the power source is gas or solar heat, the maintenance cost is cheaper and the service life is longer than that of electric freezer.

-One facility can solve cooling and heating together

-Since there is no driving device using electricity, there is almost no noise vibration and trouble

-In particular, there are many advantages, such as being able to relieve the burden of power generation adjustment due to the increased use of refrigerators in the summer, and the demand is rapidly increasing.

However, this absorption type air conditioner (or cold water heater) is still in the early stage of development, and large and large ones are widely distributed, but small and small ones still have technical problems to be solved. There is no situation.

Absorption chillers basically consist of a condenser, an evaporator and an absorber. In order to reduce the size (volume) of a conventional absorption chiller, these condensers, evaporators and absorbers are formed in a spirally wound cylindrical form by overlapping a plurality of small tubes. There is a limit to the small size by constructing the tube in a spiral shape, and the freezing capacity of the pipe is inevitably about 20 to 50 refrigeration tons (RT) (hereinafter referred to as RT).

On the other hand, in consideration of the advantages of the absorption type refrigerator which does not generate noise and vibration, it is urgently required to be installed indoors even in general homes with an area of about 10 ~ 45 pyeong. Although it would be sufficient to have a refrigerator of about 1 ~ 5RT having a cooling capacity of about 15,120Kcal / h, due to the structural features as described above, a typical absorption chiller is at least about 60,482Kcal / It is too small to be used for indoor use in general households because it can only be miniaturized to a size of 20RT having a cooling capacity of more than h, and thus it is not practically used for home use, and a plurality of copper tubes are spirally formed in the condenser, evaporator, and absorber configuration. As it is wound and formed into a cylindrical shape, welding of copper tube and steel plate is not easy, The corrosion resistance is low, there is no reliability of the performance and life, the situation is not overcome the limitation in practical use.

For this reason, indoors generally use compressed refrigerators. Compressed refrigerators are powered by electricity and consume a lot of power in order to obtain a predetermined freezing capacity. At the same time, the air temperature is concentrated in a certain period of time, which is a factor of expanding power generation facilities, but it increases the waste of having unnecessary power generation facilities except during the summer season. Compressors and other electrical appliances for the compression of the refrigerant are inevitably installed, which makes it difficult to expect a pleasant environment due to considerable noise.

In addition, the Republic of Korea Utility Model Application No. 92-4108 has been proposed for the purpose of applying the absorption chiller to a small device, but such a refrigeration unit is not only available as a cooling and heating device, but also Because of its low freezing capacity, it can be applied only to small appliances, and has a problem that cannot be applied to indoor cooling and heating of general households.

The present invention uses a condenser and an evaporator in a refrigerator using LNG (liquefied natural gas) or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) as a heating source, and using lithium bromide (LiBr) as an absorbent liquid and water (H 2 O) as a refrigerant. And absorber type that can be installed by minimizing the freezing capacity by 1 ~ 5 RT by forming the structure of the absorber in the vertical and horizontal directions with a plurality of straight tube tubes connecting the diffusion chamber and the collection chamber in the case partitioned by the partition wall. It relates to air conditioning and heating.

In the figure, reference numeral 40 denotes a circulation pump for circulating water.

The present invention configured as described above can be switched between a use as a cooling device and a use state as a heating device.

As a cooling device, as shown in FIG. 1, when the regenerator 2 is heated by the gas burner 3 in the state which circulates the cooling water of normal temperature in the evaporator 18 using the cooling water circulation apparatus 23. As shown in FIG. Lithium brimide in the regenerator 2 is boiled, and the capillary tube and the pressure difference rise up the nutrient solution tube 5, and the water vapor is released into the condensation chamber 13 through the vapor transfer tube 8. The lithium embrittlement concentrate in the state where the water vapor is released hits the blocking plate 7 and enters the first flow chamber 31a of the heat exchanger 30 through the concentrate drop pipe 9 and at the same time the condensation chamber 13 The water vapor entering the c) is cooled by the cooling water circulating in each fin tube 17c and liquefied, that is, condensed and supplied onto the tray 38a through the refrigerant U-shaped tube 27, which is again capillary 39a. Through the fin tube (19c) of the evaporator (18) through the Through the communicating portion (12 ') by evaporation in a state unbeaten (霧 適) by a ring of water is entering the absorption chamber 15.

Meanwhile, the lithium embrittlement concentrate entering the first flow chamber 31a through the concentrate dropping tube 9 is absorbed through the concentrate riser 28 by the high pressure in the gas-liquid separator 6. Is supplied onto the tray 38b of the unfilled refrigerant entering the evaporation chamber 14 by falling into the fin tube 21c of the absorber 20 by the capillary tube 39b. Absorbed into a lithium embrittlement solution, which enters the second flow chamber 31b of the heat exchanger 30 through the rare solution dropping tube 29, and regenerates again through the rare solution transfer pipe 32. By supplying to, the above-mentioned action is repeated.

At this time, a considerable amount of heat is generated in the process of absorbing the refrigerant in which the lithium embrittlement concentrate is invincible in the absorption chamber 15. At this time, the cooling water circulating in the absorber 20 cancels the reaction heat, and evaporates. In the process of evaporating the liquefied refrigerant in the chamber 14, the refrigerant is taken away from the surface of the fin tube (19c) while depriving the heat to lower the temperature of the water circulating inside the fin tube (19c) evaporator Cooling effect can be obtained through the fan coil 25, and the water circulated inside the evaporator 18 is circulated at an initial temperature of about 18 to 20 ° C. at the initial state, but the evaporator 18 By lowering the temperature to about 5 ~ 7 ℃ by the action of), the temperature is released to the room through the fan coil 25 to obtain a cooling effect.

As for the heating device, as shown in Fig. 4, when the regenerator 2 is heated with the gas burner 3 while the operation of the cooling water circulation device 23 is stopped, the regenerator 2 is used as in the case of the cooling device. The lithium embrittlement solution in the boils and rises through the nutrient solution pipe (5) so that the water vapor enters the condensation chamber (13) and the lithium embrittlement concentrate solution enters the first flow chamber (31a) of the heat exchanger (30). However, since the water vapor entering the condensation chamber 13 is hardly condensed because the cooling water is not circulated in the condenser 16, the water vapor exists as water vapor, while a small amount of water is lost due to the loss of conduction heat in contact with the fin tube 17C. As water vapor condenses and enters the refrigerant U magnetic pipe 27, a small amount of water vapor also condenses due to the loss of conduction heat, and condensed water is generated so that the condensed water remains while blocking the refrigerant U magnetic pipe 27. The pressure in the shaft chamber 13 rises, and as the communication tubes 37b and 37a communicate with the vapor transfer pipe 8 without allowing steam to flow through the refrigerant U-shaped pipe 27, the lithium embrittlement concentrates present in these chambers are transferred. It is pushed up to the air-conditioning separator 33 to be discharged to the bottom of the absorption chamber 15 and the evaporation chamber 14 through the agricultural liquid drain pipe 36, and water vapor acts as a reverse cyclic effect of the communication tubes 37b and 37a. While being destroyed and continuously supplied to the lower portion of the evaporation chamber 14 through the heating steam supply pipe 35 and being brought into contact with the fin tube 19c of the evaporator 18, the heat is deprived of water circulating in the fin tube 19c. The water is heated to about 55 ~ 60 ℃ and condensed and falls to the bottom of the evaporation chamber. On the other hand, through the first dropping chamber 31a of the heat exchanger 30 through the concentrate dropping tube 9, the capillary tube on the tray 38b in the upper portion of the absorption chamber 15 along the concentrate rising pipe 28. The concentrated embrittlement lithium solution falling into the fin tube (21c) in the evaporation chamber (14) absorbs the uncondensed water vapor, falls to the bottom of the absorption chamber (15) and is mixed with the water condensed in the evaporation chamber (14) After the rare solution is liquefied and transferred to the regenerator 2 through the rare liquid transfer pipe 32, the above-described action is repeated to maintain the temperature of the water circulating in the evaporator 18 to about 55 ~ 60 ℃, By heating this temperature to the room through the fan coil 25 it is possible to obtain a heating effect.

As described above, in the absorption type cooling and heating unit, the condenser 16, the evaporator 18, the absorber 20, and the cooling water and the water circulating therein have a very important correlation. ), The evaporator 18 and the absorber 20 are fin tubes 17c and 19c having an appropriate length between the diffusion chambers 17a, 19a, 21a and the collection chambers 17b, 19b, 21b, respectively. 21c is in communication with each other, and the fin tubes 17c, 19c, and 21c are arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal and vertical directions so that the refrigerant and the concentrated solution supplied from the steam and the capillaries 39a and 39b are finned. The outer surfaces of the tubes 17c, 19c, and 21c can be evenly contacted, so that condensation, evaporation, and absorption efficiency due to heat exchange can be performed in the best state, and the structure can minimize the volume. Will be.

The present invention changes the fin tubes connecting the diffusion chamber and the collecting chamber from the conventional spiral configuration to the straight tube configuration, making the production simple and perfect vacuum, so that efficient heat exchange can be performed, thereby increasing the overall size. Since it can be reduced, it is possible to install an absorption air-conditioner in a room of a general home, thereby providing a comfortable indoor environment and providing an effect that can greatly contribute to energy saving.
