Abstract
A liquid refrigerant distributor is used for a falling liquid film evaporator. The liquid refrigerant distributor includes a gas-liquid two-phase pipe through which a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flows, and a first refrigerant tub including a liquid reservoir section into which the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flows from the gas-liquid two-phase pipe. The first refrigerant tub further includes a droplet collector configured to collect droplets contained in a gas refrigerant separated by the liquid reservoir section.
Claims22
A liquid refrigerant distributor for use in a falling liquid film evaporator, the liquid refrigerant distributor comprising:
- a gas-liquid two-phase pipe through which a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flows;
- and
- a first refrigerant tub including a liquid reservoir section into which the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flows from the gas-liquid two-phase pipe,
- the first refrigerant tub further including a droplet collector configured to collect droplets contained in a gas refrigerant separated by the liquid reservoir section, wherein
- the droplet collector is provided, as a separate element from the gas-liquid two-phase pipe, above the liquid reservoir section inside the first refrigerant tub, and
- the droplet collector is a mesh structure.
