Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an impacting T-junction component regulator for regulating components of a non-azeotropic working medium, which is formed by connecting a single T-junction or a plurality of T-junctions. Each of the T-junction comprises an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. When the impacting T-junction component regulator is formed by a plurality of connected T-junctions, the impacting T-junction component regulator further comprises an upper manifold trunk communicated with an outlet pipe of each T-junction and throttle valves located between two adjacent T-junctions. By using the characteristics of unequal vapor and liquid components of the non-azeotropic working medium and mal-distribution of two phase flows by vertical impacting T-junctions, the regulator achieves the fluid flowing through a plurality of T-junctions and throttle valves once so as to achieve the purpose of separating components.

Dependent claims

An impacting T-junction component regulator for regulating components of a non-azeotropic working medium, comprising:

an inlet pipe arranged horizontally and
an outlet pipe intersected and communicated with the inlet pipe, the outlet pipe comprising an upper outlet pipe section located above the inlet pipe and a lower outlet pipe section located below the inlet pipe, wherein
one end of the inlet pipe is a mixture inlet, while the other end thereof is communicated with the outlet pipe;
an upper port of the upper outlet pipe section is an upper outlet, while a lower port of the lower outlet pipe section is a lower outlet;
and
the non-azeotropic working medium flowing from the inlet pipe is divided into two branches, one of which is a rich-liquid phase of the non-azeotropic working medium that flows out from the lower outlet of the lower outlet pipe section and the other one thereof is a rich-vapor phase of the non-azeotropic working medium that is discharged from the upper outlet of the upper outlet pipe section.
