The invention discloses a gas-liquid separator. The gas-liquid separator comprises a tank, wherein a gas-liquid separator
inlet flow passage is arranged on the tank and is sequentially connected to apre-rotation section and a pre-rotation cavity; the middle part of the tank is a separation cavity; the lower part of the tank is a
liquid storage cavity; a liquid discharging
pipe located at the bottom communicates with the
liquid storage cavity; a gas discharging
pipe goes deep into the central position of the tank; the gas-liquid separator
inlet flow passage is an injecting device with a swirling function; when a liquid working medium flows through an injecting
nozzle, a gas working medium of an injecting hole is sucked, the liquid working medium and the gas working medium are mixed by a swirling generator and are pressurized at a
diffusion section, and then the mixture is separated into liquid and gas under the action of
centrifugal force; the liquid is discharged by the liquid discharging
pipe in the
liquid storage cavity, and enters an expansion valve; and the gas is discharged by the gas discharging pipe, and enters a compressor, thus, the primary injection and the gas-liquid separation are completed. The gas-liquid separator can improve the injection efficiency of a jet type
refrigeration system, then improves the
refrigeration efficiency, meanwhile increases the
utilization rate of space of the
system, enhances the compactness of the
system, and has relatively high gas-liquid separation efficiency.
