Liquid separator and air conditioner

Abstract

The invention provides a liquid separator and an air conditioner. The liquid separator comprises a liquid separating body, a containing cavity is formed inside the liquid separating body, and the liquid separating body is provided with a liquid inlet and at least one liquid outlet, wherein the liquid inlet and the liquid outlets communicate with the containing cavity. According to the liquid separator and the air conditioner, the containing cavity is arranged inside the liquid separator, when a liquid inlet tube cannot be perpendicularly welded to the lower end face of the liquid separator, itcan be guaranteed that liquid can be evenly distributed to each liquid outlet by means of being far away from liquid level leveling, and the vertical accuracy of the liquid inlet tube can be reduced;a liquid separating protrusion is arranged inside, so that fluid resistance can be effectively reduced, and the power loss can be reduced; and a leveling instrument device is utilized for further improving the vertical accuracy of the liquid separator in the installing process, liquid separating uniformity is further guaranteed, the problems such as excessively non-uniform heat, evaporator frosting, incomplete evaporation and ineffective heat exchange area utilization of the air conditioner which uses the liquid separator can be solved, and the stability and reliability of a unit are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a liquid separator and an air conditioner. Background technique [0002] The liquid separator is widely used in the air-conditioning industry. It plays an important role in the uniform distribution of the refrigerant. The uneven distribution of the liquid will cause too much refrigerant in some branches, resulting in minor overheating, evaporator frosting, and evaporation. Incomplete and some liquids flow out of the evaporator; while some sub-circuits have too little refrigerant, the refrigerant quickly evaporates into gas, and the heat exchange area is not effectively utilized, resulting in large overheating. The overall performance of the unit: the cooling capacity decreases, which may cause the suction to carry liquid, which seriously affects the performance of the refrigeration system, and the existing liquid separator cannot be installed vertically to the lower end ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0002] The liquid separator is widely used in the air-conditioning industry. It plays an important role in the uniform distribution of the refrigerant. The uneven distribution of the liquid will cause too much refrigerant in some branches, resulting in minor overheating, evaporator frosting, and evaporation. Incomplete and part of the liquid flows out of the evaporator, etc.; while some branch refrigerants are too small, the refrigerant quickly evaporates into gas, and the heat exchange area is not effectively used, resulting in large excess heat.

The overall performance of the unit: the cooling capacity decreases, which may cause the suction to carry liquid, which seriously affects the performance of the refrigeration system, and the existing liquid separator cannot be installed vertically to the lower end surface of the liquid separator due to the welding of the liquid inlet pipe. The absolute vertical state cannot be guaranteed, resulting in uneven liquid distribution of the dispenser
