Description

The present disclosure relates to an evaporator.

As an evaporator used in a refrigerator, a liquid film type evaporator in which a liquid phase refrigerant is supplied from above to a group of heat transfer tubes through which a medium to be cooled flows is known. In the liquid film type evaporator, in the heat transfer tube group, a plate-shaped member may be provided above or to the side of the heat transfer tube group for the purpose of suitably evaporating the refrigerant (for example, Patent Document 1).

US Pat. An evaporator is described with a wall extending towards the lower portion.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2008-516187

In the evaporator of Patent Document 1, the end of the hood located above the tube bundle and the upper end of the wall located on the side of the tube bundle are connected to each other. That is, in the evaporator of Patent Document 1, a space closed above is formed between the hood and the wall, and a bundle of tubes is arranged in this space. In such a configuration, when the flush gas of the supplied refrigerant and the refrigerant evaporated by the tube bundle are discharged from the space provided with the tube bundle, most of the refrigerant passes between the tubes. Therefore, the resistance (pressure loss) becomes large. Therefore, the pressure in the space increases. When the pressure in the space where the tube side is arranged rises, it becomes difficult for the refrigerant to evaporate on the surface of the tube bundle. Therefore, the heat exchange efficiency of the tube bundle may decrease, and the performance of the evaporator may decrease.

Further, the evaporator described in Patent Document 1 in which the end of the hood and the upper end of the wall are connected has only a route that passes through the lower end of the space when the refrigerant vaporized in the tube flows out of the space. .. In such a case, at the lower end of the space (that is, near the lower end of the wall), the flow velocity of the vaporized refrigerant toward the outlet of the pressure vessel becomes high. As a result, there is a possibility that the gas phase refrigerant discharged to the outside of the pressure vessel is likely to be accompanied by the liquid phase refrigerant (so-called carryover).

The present disclosure has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an evaporator capable of improving the heat exchange efficiency of a heat transfer tube group.

In order to solve the above problems, the evaporator of the present disclosure employs the following means.
The evaporator according to one aspect of the present disclosure is provided with a refrigerant outlet for discharging the evaporated refrigerant to the outside, and has a housing forming an outer shell and a plurality of liquids housed in the housing and having a cooling medium flowing inside. A liquid film type heat transfer tube group having a film heat transfer tube, a refrigerant supply unit housed in the housing and supplying a liquid phase refrigerant from above to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group, and the liquid film type heat transfer tube group. A side plate portion that covers the liquid film type heat transfer tube group from the side and an upper plate portion that covers the liquid film type heat transfer tube group from above are provided, and a gap is formed between the side plate portion and the upper plate portion. There is.

According to the present disclosure, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat transfer tube group can be improved.

The refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is provided so as to communicate with an opening formed in the upper part of the cylindrical portion 11a. The refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is provided at the end of the cylindrical portion 11a in the X-axis direction. That is, the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is provided in the vicinity of the pipe plate of the pressure vessel 11. The refrigerant vaporized by the evaporator 10 is discharged to the outside of the pressure vessel 11 via the refrigerant outlet pipe 16. The refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is provided above the baffle plate 17.

The obstruction plate 17 is a flat plate-shaped member arranged so that the plate surface faces a vertical surface. The baffle plates 17 are arranged on both sides of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15. That is, the baffle plate 17 is arranged outside the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 in the Y-axis direction. Each baffle plate 17 is arranged so that the plate surface faces the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15.

In the evaporator 10 configured as described above, the refrigerant flows as follows.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the evaporator 10, the refrigerant flows into the pressure vessel 11 from the refrigerant inlet pipe 12. The refrigerant flowing into the pressure vessel 11 is dispersed in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the pressure vessel 11 by the refrigerant tray 13, and then passes through a large number of holes formed in the refrigerant tray 13 and falls downward. The liquid-phase refrigerant that has fallen from the refrigerant tray 13 comes into contact with the liquid film heat transfer tube 15a arranged at the uppermost stage of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15, and forms a film on the outer peripheral surface of the liquid film heat transfer tube 15a. cover. The refrigerant that covers the outer peripheral surface of the liquid film heat transfer tube 15a in a film shape exchanges heat with the water to be cooled inside the liquid film heat transfer tube 15a. The refrigerant that exceeds the boiling point evaporates due to heat exchange, and the refrigerant that does not exceed the boiling point falls further down to the liquid film heat transfer tube 15a. Such heat exchange is continuously repeated. The refrigerant that has not evaporated even by heat exchange with water in the liquid film heat transfer tube 15a arranged at the lowermost part is stored in the storage portion 11c provided at the lower part of the pressure vessel 11 (see FIG. 2). In this way, a pool of liquid phase refrigerant is formed in the storage portion 11c inside the pressure vessel 11. The level of the liquid level S of the refrigerant pool is automatically adjusted to a predetermined height.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the mainstream of the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 rises around the lower end of the obstruction plate 17 as shown by the arrow A1 and is guided to the refrigerant outlet tube 16. .. Further, a part of the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 passes through the gap G formed between the obstruction plate 17 and the blow-up prevention plate 18 as shown by the arrow A2, and passes through the refrigerant outlet pipe. Guided to 16.
The full-filled heat transfer tube 14a of the full-filled heat transfer tube group 14 is in a state of being immersed in the refrigerant of the liquid phase stored in the storage section 11c. The cooled water flowing in the liquid film heat transfer tube 15a exchanges heat with the refrigerant stored in the storage unit 11c. The refrigerant that has exchanged heat with the liquid film heat transfer tube 15a evaporates and is discharged upward from the liquid surface S. The refrigerant discharged from the liquid level S is guided to the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 as shown by the arrow A3.

The refrigerant that evaporates in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 and the full liquid type heat transfer tube group 14 and is guided to the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is discharged to the outside of the pressure vessel 11. The refrigerant discharged from the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is sucked and compressed by the turbo compressor.

According to this embodiment, the following effects are exhibited.
In the present embodiment, the baffle plate 17 covers the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 from the side. Further, the blow-up prevention plate 18 covers the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 from above. That is, the baffle plate 17 and the blow-up prevention plate 18 form a space (hereinafter, referred to as "inner space S1") in which the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 is provided. Further, the baffle plate 17 and the blow-up prevention plate 18 separate the inner space S1 from the space formed outside the inner space S1 (hereinafter, referred to as “outer space S2”). In the present embodiment, a gap G is formed between the blow-up prevention plate 18 and the obstruction plate 17. That is, the gap G connects the inner space S1 and the outer space S2. In the present embodiment, when the refrigerant is supplied from the refrigerant tray 13 to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15, the refrigerant evaporates. When the refrigerant evaporates, the evaporated refrigerant diffuses in the inner space S1. A part of the diffused refrigerant passes through the gap G formed between the blow-up prevention plate 18 and the obstruction plate 17, and moves to the outer space S2. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in pressure in the inner space S1 as compared with the case where the gap G is not formed (that is, when the obstruction plate 17 and the blow-up prevention plate 18 are connected). Therefore, since the environment around the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 can be made an environment suitable for heat exchange, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 can be improved. Therefore, the performance of the evaporator 10 can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, two routes through which the refrigerant flows from the inner space S1 to the outer space S2 are formed, a route passing through the lower end of the inner space S1 and a route passing through the gap G. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the flow velocity of the vaporized refrigerant becomes high at the lower end of the inner space S1 (that is, near the lower end of the baffle plate 17). As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the gas phase refrigerant discharged to the outside of the pressure vessel 11 to accompany the liquid phase refrigerant (so-called carryover).

Further, a part of the refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant tray 13 is vaporized before reaching the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 due to the decrease in pressure. In the present embodiment, the vaporized refrigerant (hereinafter referred to as “flash gas”) easily moves to the outer space S2 through the gap G formed between the blow-up prevention plate 18 and the obstruction plate 17. .. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in pressure in the inner space S1 due to the flash gas. Further, since the flash gas is discharged from the inner space S1, the liquid phase refrigerant supplied to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 without being vaporized is not easily affected by the flash gas. Therefore, the refrigerant can be accurately supplied to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15.

Further, in the present embodiment, the baffle plate 17 is provided. As a result, the flow of the refrigerant from the side with respect to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 can be blocked, so that the situation where the refrigerant supplied in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 is scattered can be suppressed.
Further, in the present embodiment, the blow-up prevention plate 18 is provided. As a result, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the refrigerant supplied to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 is blown up.

Further, in the present embodiment, the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is provided above the lower end of the baffle plate 17. In the evaporator 10 having such a structure, the refrigerant that evaporates in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 and goes to the refrigerant outlet tube 16 is easily blocked by the obstruction plate 17 and the blow-up prevention plate 18. Therefore, the evaporated refrigerant tends to stay in the inner space S1, and the pressure in the inner space S1 tends to increase. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the gap G is formed between the baffle plate 17 and the blow-up prevention plate 18, the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 passes through the gap G to the outer space S2. You can move. This makes it difficult for the refrigerant to stay in the inner space S1. Therefore, even if the structure is such that the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is provided above the lower end of the baffle plate 17, it is possible to more preferably suppress the increase in pressure in the inner space S1. Therefore, it is possible to preferably improve the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 and improve the performance of the evaporator 10.

Further, in the present embodiment, the refrigerant tray 13 is provided above the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15. In the evaporator 10 having such a structure, since the flash gas tends to stay in the inner space S1, the pressure in the inner space S1 tends to increase. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the gap G is formed between the baffle plate 17 and the blow-up prevention plate 18, the flash gas can pass through the gap G and move to the outer space S2. This makes it difficult for the refrigerant to stay in the inner space S1. Therefore, even if the refrigerant tray 13 has a structure provided above the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15, the increase in pressure in the inner space S1 can be more preferably suppressed. Therefore, more preferably, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 can be improved, and the performance of the evaporator 10 can be improved.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the evaporator according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG.
The evaporator 20 according to the present embodiment is first in that a lower plate portion 21 provided between the lower end of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 and the liquid level S is provided instead of the baffle plate 17. It is different from the embodiment. Since other points are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 3, the evaporator 20 includes a pair of lower plate portions 21 provided between the lower end of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 and the liquid surface S. The pair of lower plate portions 21 are arranged apart from each other in the Y-axis direction. The pair of lower plate portions 21 are provided symmetrically with respect to the center in the Y-axis direction. Each lower plate portion 21 is inclined so that the outer end portion in the Y-axis direction is higher than the inner end portion in the Y-axis direction. The outer end portion of each lower plate portion 21 in the Y-axis direction is arranged outside the outer end portion in the Y-axis direction of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15.
The pair of lower plate portions 21 extend along the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 over substantially the entire area of the pressure vessel 11 in the X-axis direction. The pair of lower plate portions 21 may be provided only in a part in the X-axis direction.

According to this embodiment, the following effects are exhibited.
In the present embodiment, the lower plate portion 21 is provided between the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 and the liquid level S. As a result, the refrigerant that evaporates by the full liquid heat transfer tube group 14 and goes from the liquid level S to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 is blocked by the lower plate portion 21. The refrigerant blocked by the lower plate portion 21 is guided to the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 by detouring the outside of the lower plate portion 21 as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the refrigerant evaporated in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group 14 to reach the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the situation where the refrigerant supplied to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 is scattered by the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 14, so that the environment around the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 can be suppressed. Can be an environment suitable for heat exchange. Therefore, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 can be improved, and the performance of the evaporator 10 can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the refrigerant supplied to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 is scattered by the refrigerant evaporated in the full liquid type heat transfer tube group 14. This makes it difficult for carryover to occur.

Further, in the present embodiment, the inner ends of the pair of lower plate portions 21 are separated from each other. Further, each lower plate portion 21 is inclined so that the inner end portion is downward. As a result, even if the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 does not completely evaporate and the liquid phase refrigerant toward the storage portion 11c falls on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 21, as shown by the solid line arrow in FIG. , The liquid phase refrigerant moves on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 21 to the inner end and falls from the inner end to the storage portion 11c. As a result, the amount of refrigerant that is not supplied to each heat transfer tube group can be reduced, so that the performance of the evaporator 10 can be improved.

[Modification 1]
The shape of the lower plate portion is not limited to the shape described above. For example, as in the lower plate portion 26 shown in FIG. 4, a plate-shaped member that is inclined so as to be positioned downward from both ends in the Y-axis direction toward the center portion may be used. Further, the lower plate portion 26 may be provided with a refrigerant discharge pipe 27 at the center portion in the Y-axis direction. The refrigerant discharge pipe 27 is formed in a linear shape extending in the Z-axis direction. The upper end of the refrigerant discharge pipe 27 is connected to the lower plate portion 26, and the lower end is arranged below the full-liquid heat transfer tube group 14. The upper end of the refrigerant discharge pipe 27 is open on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 26.

With this configuration, the refrigerant stored in the upper surface of the lower plate portion 26 is guided to the lower side of the full-liquid heat transfer tube group 14 via the refrigerant discharge pipe 27. Therefore, the refrigerant on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 26 can be guided to the storage portion 11c. As a result, the amount of refrigerant that is not supplied to each heat transfer tube group can be reduced, so that the performance of the evaporator 10 can be improved.

Further, the refrigerant on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 26 is guided to the lower side of the full-liquid heat transfer tube group 14. As a result, the refrigerant guided from the upper surface of the lower plate portion 26 to the storage portion 11c can be prevented from interfering with the refrigerant that evaporates in the liquid transfer type heat transfer tube group 14 and heads toward the liquid level S. Therefore, since heat exchange can be suitably performed in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group 14, the performance of the evaporator 10 can be improved.

[Modification 2]
Further, like the lower plate portion 31 shown in FIG. 5, the lower plate portion 26 may have the same shape as the lower plate portion 26 shown in the first modification and may have a plurality of through holes penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface. With this configuration, the refrigerant that has fallen to the lower plate portion 31 passes through the through hole and is guided to the storage portion 11c. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the refrigerant from being stored on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 31. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of refrigerant that is not supplied to each heat transfer tube group, and it is possible to improve the performance of the evaporator 10. The lower plate portion 31 may be formed of a wire mesh instead of forming a plurality of through holes.

[Modification 3]
Further, like the lower plate portion 36 shown in FIG. 6, it integrally has a flat plate-shaped bottom surface portion 36a and an inclined portion 36b that bends from both ends of the bottom surface portion 36a in the Y-axis direction and extends diagonally upward. It may be a dish-shaped member. Further, the lower plate portion 36 may be provided with a plurality of (in this embodiment, three as an example) refrigerant discharge pipes 37 on the bottom surface portion 36a. The plurality of refrigerant discharge pipes 37 are arranged side by side in the Y-axis direction. The upper end of the refrigerant discharge pipe 37 is connected to the lower plate portion 36, and the lower end is arranged below the full-liquid heat transfer tube group 14.

With this configuration, the refrigerant stored on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 36 is guided to the lower side of the full-liquid heat transfer tube group 14 via the refrigerant discharge pipe 37. Therefore, the refrigerant on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 36 can be guided to the storage portion 11c. As a result, the amount of refrigerant that is not supplied to each heat transfer tube group can be reduced, so that the performance of the evaporator 10 can be improved.

[Modification 4]
Further, like the lower plate portion 41 shown in FIG. 7, the lower plate portion 31 may have the same shape as the lower plate portion 31 shown in the second modification and may have a plurality of through holes penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface. With this configuration, the refrigerant that has fallen to the lower plate portion 41 passes through the through hole and is guided to the storage portion 11c. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the refrigerant from being stored on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 41. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of refrigerant that is not supplied to each heat transfer tube group, and it is possible to improve the performance of the evaporator 10. The lower plate portion 41 may be formed of a wire mesh instead of forming a plurality of through holes.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, the evaporator according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG.
The evaporator 50 according to the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a pressure loss increasing portion is provided instead of the baffle plate 17. Since other points are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 8, the evaporator 50 is provided with a pair of lower end side plate portions (pressure loss increasing portions) 51 arranged on both sides of the lower end portion of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15.

Therefore, it is possible to make it more difficult for the refrigerant evaporated in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group 14 to reach the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15.

[Modification 6]

[Fifth Embodiment]
Next, the evaporator according to the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.
The evaporator 70 according to the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a cross plate portion is provided instead of the baffle plate 17. Since other points are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 13, for the sake of illustration, the pressure vessel 11 and the full-liquid heat transfer tube group 14 and the like are omitted. Further, in FIG. 13, for the sake of illustration, the liquid film heat transfer tubes 15a are not shown one by one, but are collectively shown as a liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a plurality of evaporators 70 are arranged so as to intersect the X-axis direction on both sides of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 in the Y-axis direction (an example in this embodiment). The crossing plate portion 71 of 3) is provided. The plurality of intersecting plate portions 71 are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals in the X-axis direction. The length of the cross plate portion 71 in the Z-axis direction is substantially the same as the length of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 in the Z-axis direction. Each cross plate portion 71 is formed of a flat plate-shaped member.

According to this embodiment, the following effects are exhibited.
The refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is provided at the end of the pressure vessel 11 in the X-axis direction. Therefore, the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid-filled heat transfer tube group 14 and the liquid film-type heat transfer tube group 15 is guided to the refrigerant outlet tube 16 while moving in the X-axis direction. For example, when the cross plate portion 71 is not provided, the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 moves along the X-axis direction to the lower region of the refrigerant outlet tube 16 with almost no rise. Then, they merge in the region below the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 and soar. Therefore, the flow velocity of the refrigerant rising toward the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 becomes high.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the cross plate portion 71 arranged so as to intersect the X-axis direction is provided on the side of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15. That is, the space formed inside the pressure vessel 11 is divided into a plurality of spaces in the X-axis direction by the cross plate portion 71. As a result, as shown by the broken line arrows in FIGS. 13 and 14, the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group 15 moves upward in each of the divided spaces. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the rapid rise of the refrigerant in the region below the refrigerant outlet pipe 16. Therefore, it is possible to prevent carryover from occurring.

Further, in the present embodiment, the cross plate portion 71 can increase the pressure loss with respect to the movement of the refrigerant in the X-axis direction. Therefore, since the flow velocity of the refrigerant can be reduced, carryover can be less likely to occur.

The cross plate portion is not limited to the structure described above. As in the crossed plate portion 76 of FIG. 15, a plurality of through holes penetrating in the plate thickness direction may be formed. Further, instead of forming a plurality of through holes, it may be formed of a wire mesh. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the flow velocity of the refrigerant while ensuring the movement of the refrigerant in the X-axis direction.

The present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be appropriately modified as long as it does not deviate from the gist thereof.

For example, in each of the above embodiments, an example in which a refrigerant tray is used as a device for supplying a refrigerant to a liquid film type heat transfer tube group or the like has been described, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. The device for supplying the refrigerant may be any structure as long as it can supply the refrigerant to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group, and may be, for example, a pipe-shaped member extending along the X-axis direction.
For example, in each of the above embodiments, the example in which the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 is provided in the upper part of the pressure vessel 11 has been described, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 may be provided on the side of the pressure vessel 11. Further, the refrigerant outlet pipe 16 may be provided in the lower part of the pressure vessel 11.
Further, for example, each of the above embodiments may be combined.

The evaporator described in the present embodiment described above is grasped as follows, for example.
The evaporator (10) according to one aspect of the present disclosure is provided with a refrigerant outlet (16) for discharging the evaporated refrigerant to the outside, is housed in the housing, and has a plurality of liquid films through which a cooling medium flows. A liquid film type heat transfer tube group (15) having a heat transfer tube (15a) for use, and a refrigerant supply unit (13) housed in the housing and supplying a liquid phase refrigerant from above to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group. A side plate portion (17) that covers the liquid film type heat transfer tube group from the side and an upper plate portion (18) that covers the liquid film type heat transfer tube group from above are provided with the side plate portion. A gap (G) is formed between the upper plate portion and the upper plate portion.

In the above configuration, the side plate portion covers the liquid film type heat transfer tube group from the side. In addition, the upper plate portion covers the liquid film type heat transfer tube group from above. That is, the side plate portion and the upper plate portion form a space (hereinafter referred to as "inner space") in which the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is provided. Further, the side plate portion and the upper plate portion separate the inner space and the space formed outside the inner space (hereinafter, referred to as "outer space"). In the above configuration, a gap is formed between the upper plate portion and the side plate portion. That is, the gap connects the inner space and the outer space. In the above configuration, when the refrigerant is supplied from the refrigerant supply unit to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group, the refrigerant evaporates. When the refrigerant evaporates, the evaporated refrigerant diffuses in the inner space. The diffused part passes through the gap formed between the upper plate portion and the side plate portion and moves to the outer space. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in pressure in the inner space as compared with the case where no gap is formed. Therefore, since the environment around the liquid film type heat transfer tube group can be made an environment suitable for heat exchange, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group can be improved. Therefore, the performance of the evaporator can be improved.
Further, since the increase in pressure in the inner space can be suppressed, it is possible to suppress the situation where the flow velocity of the vaporized refrigerant becomes high at the lower end of the inner space (that is, near the lower end of the side plate portion). As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the gas phase refrigerant discharged to the outside of the housing to accompany the liquid phase refrigerant (so-called carryover).
Further, a part of the refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant supply unit is vaporized before reaching the liquid film type heat transfer tube group due to the decrease in pressure. In the above configuration, the vaporized refrigerant (hereinafter referred to as "flash gas") easily moves to the outer space through the gap formed between the upper plate portion and the side plate portion. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the pressure increase in the inner space due to the flash gas. Further, since the flash gas is discharged from the inner space, the liquid phase refrigerant supplied to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group without being vaporized is not easily affected by the flash gas. Therefore, the refrigerant can be accurately supplied to the heat transfer tube for the liquid film.

Further, the evaporator according to one aspect of the present disclosure is housed in the housing and is immersed in a liquid phase refrigerant stored in the lower part of the housing, and a plurality of filled media to which a cooled medium flows inside. The liquid film type heat transfer tube group (15) includes a full liquid type heat transfer tube group (14) having a liquid heat transfer tube (14a), and the liquid film type heat transfer tube group (15) is the liquid level of the refrigerant of the liquid phase stored in the lower part of the housing. It is provided above (S).

In the above configuration, a part of the refrigerant evaporated in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group can also pass through the gap formed between the upper plate portion and the side plate portion and head toward the refrigerant outlet. This makes it possible to suppress an increase in pressure in the inner space.

Further, in the evaporator according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the refrigerant outlet is provided above the lower end of the side plate portion.

In the above configuration, the refrigerant outlet is provided above the lower end of the side plate portion. In the evaporator having such a structure, the refrigerant that evaporates in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group and goes to the refrigerant outlet is easily blocked by the side plate portion and the upper plate portion. Therefore, the evaporated refrigerant tends to stay in the inner space, and the pressure in the inner space tends to increase.
In the above configuration, since a gap is formed between the side plate portion and the upper plate portion, the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group can pass through the gap and move to the outer space. This makes it difficult for the refrigerant to stay in the inner space. Therefore, it is possible to more preferably suppress the increase in pressure in the inner space. Therefore, more preferably, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group can be improved, and the performance of the evaporator can be improved.

Further, in the evaporator according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the refrigerant supply unit is provided above the liquid film type heat transfer tube group, and the side plate portion is on the upper side of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group. It covers from the side.

In the above configuration, the refrigerant supply unit is provided above the liquid film type heat transfer tube group. In the evaporator having such a structure, the flash gas tends to stay in the inner space, so that the pressure in the inner space tends to increase.
In the above configuration, since a gap is formed between the side plate portion and the upper plate portion, the flash gas can pass through the gap and move to the outer space. This makes it difficult for the refrigerant to stay in the inner space. Therefore, it is possible to more preferably suppress the increase in pressure in the inner space. Therefore, more preferably, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group can be improved, and the performance of the evaporator can be improved.

A plurality of liquid film heat transfer tubes (s) that are provided above the liquid level (S) of the liquid phase refrigerant stored in the housing and stored in the lower part of the housing and through which the cooling medium flows. A liquid film type heat transfer tube group (15) having 15a), a refrigerant supply unit (13) housed in the housing and supplying a liquid phase refrigerant from above to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group, and the liquid film. A lower plate portion (21) provided between the type heat transfer tube group and the liquid level is provided.

In the above configuration, a lower plate portion is provided between the liquid film type heat transfer tube group and the liquid surface. As a result, the refrigerant that evaporates by the full-liquid heat transfer tube group and goes from the liquid surface to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is blocked by the lower plate portion. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the refrigerant evaporated in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group to reach the liquid film heat transfer tube group. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the situation where the refrigerant supplied to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is scattered by the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group, so that the environment around the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is heat exchanged. The environment can be suitable for. Therefore, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group can be improved, and the performance of the evaporator can be improved.
Further, in the above configuration, it is possible to suppress the situation where the refrigerant supplied to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is scattered by the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group. As a result, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the gas phase refrigerant flowing toward the refrigerant outlet is accompanied by the liquid phase refrigerant (so-called carryover).

Further, the evaporator according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a refrigerant discharge pipe (27) whose upper end is connected to the lower plate portion and whose lower end is arranged below the liquid transfer type heat transfer tube group, and the lower plate is provided. The portion is provided below the liquid film type heat transfer tube group.

In the above configuration, the lower plate portion is provided below the liquid film type heat transfer tube group. As a result, the liquid phase refrigerant that has not completely evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is stored on the upper surface of the lower plate portion. In the above configuration, the upper end is connected to the lower plate portion, and the lower end is provided with a refrigerant discharge pipe arranged below the full liquid heat transfer tube group. As a result, the refrigerant stored on the upper surface of the lower plate portion is guided to the lower side of the full-liquid heat transfer tube group via the refrigerant discharge pipe. Therefore, the refrigerant on the upper surface of the lower plate portion can be guided to the portion where the refrigerant is stored in the lower portion of the housing (hereinafter, referred to as “reservoir portion”). As a result, the amount of refrigerant that is not supplied to each heat transfer tube group can be reduced, so that the performance of the evaporator can be improved.
Further, the refrigerant on the upper surface of the lower plate portion is guided to the lower side of the full-liquid heat transfer tube group. As a result, the refrigerant guided from the upper surface of the lower plate portion to the storage portion can be made less likely to interfere with the refrigerant that evaporates in the liquid heat transfer tube group and heads toward the liquid surface.

Further, in the evaporator according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the lower plate portion has a hole penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface.

In the above configuration, the lower plate portion has a hole penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface. As a result, the refrigerant that has not completely evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group and has fallen to the lower plate portion passes through the holes and is guided to the storage portion below the lower plate portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the refrigerant from being stored on the upper surface of the lower plate portion. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of refrigerant that is not guided to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group, and it is possible to improve the performance of the evaporator.

Further, the evaporator (50) according to one aspect of the present disclosure is provided with a refrigerant outlet (16) for discharging the evaporated refrigerant to the outside, and is housed in a housing (11) forming an outer shell and the housing.

A pressure loss increasing portion (51) is provided on the side of the lower end portion of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group and increases the pressure in the region where the lower end portion of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is arranged.

In the above configuration, a pressure drop increasing portion for increasing the pressure in the region where the lower end portion of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is arranged (hereinafter, referred to as “lower end region”) is provided. As a result, the pressure in the lower end region can be increased, so that the refrigerant that evaporates by the full liquid heat transfer tube group and goes from the liquid surface to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group does not easily flow into the lower end region. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the refrigerant evaporated in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group to reach the liquid film heat transfer tube group. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the situation where the refrigerant supplied to the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is scattered by the refrigerant evaporated in the liquid film type heat transfer tube group, so that the environment around the liquid film type heat transfer tube group is heat exchanged. The environment can be suitable for. Therefore, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group can be improved, and the performance of the evaporator can be improved.

It has a side plate portion (51).

In the above configuration, a pair of lower end side plate portions cover the lower end portions of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group from both sides. As a result, the pressure in the lower end region can be increased more than in other regions. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the refrigerant that evaporates by the full-liquid heat transfer tube group and flows from the liquid surface to the liquid film-type heat transfer tube group to flow into the lower end region. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the refrigerant evaporated in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group to reach the liquid film heat transfer tube group.

In the above configuration, rectifying sections for guiding the refrigerant evaporated in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group to the refrigerant outlet are provided on both sides of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group. As a result, the refrigerant that evaporates in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group and heads for the liquid film-type heat transfer tube group from the side is guided to the refrigerant outlet by the rectifying unit. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the refrigerant evaporated in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group to reach the liquid film heat transfer tube group.

The environment can be suitable for. Therefore, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group can be improved, and the performance of the evaporator can be improved.
Further, since the rectifying section is arranged so as to sandwich the lower part of the liquid film type heat transfer tube group, the refrigerant rising from the liquid level can be guided to the refrigerant outlet relatively early. Therefore, it is possible to make it more difficult for the refrigerant evaporated in the full-liquid heat transfer tube group to reach the liquid film heat transfer tube group.
