DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The present disclosure is further explained below by means of specific embodiments in conjunction with the drawings.

[0042] An air conditioning system according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes a heat exchanger. Specifically, the air conditioning system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a compressor, a heat exchanger acting as an evaporator, a heat exchanger acting as a condenser, an expansion valve, and so on. The air conditioning system may include two or more cycles. In each cycle, one or more circuits of the heat exchanger are used, and the circuits of the heat exchanger are connected in parallel and are independent from each other.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, a heat exchanger 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first heat exchanger core 1, a second heat exchanger core 2 and a connection part 5. The first heat exchanger core 1 includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes 8 and the plurality of heat exchange tubes 8 of the first heat exchanger core 1 include a plurality of first circuit heat exchange tubes 8A for forming a first circuit. The second heat exchanger core 2 is located on a side of the first heat exchanger core 1 in a thickness direction (namely the left-right direction in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 to FIG. 10) of the first heat exchanger core 1 and includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes 8. The plurality of heat exchange tubes 8 of the second heat exchanger core 2 include a plurality of first circuit heat exchange tubes 8A for forming the first circuit. A length of the heat exchange tube 8 of the first heat exchanger core 1 is greater than a length of the heat exchange tube 8 of the second heat exchanger core 2. The connection part 5 includes a first connection part 5A through which the plurality of first circuit heat exchange tubes 8A of the first heat exchanger core 1 are connected with the plurality of first circuit heat exchange tubes 8A of the second heat exchanger core 2. The plurality of heat exchange tubes 8 of at least one of the first heat exchanger core 1 and the second heat exchanger core 2 further include a plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B for forming a second circuit; and in the at least one of the first heat exchanger core 1 and the second heat exchanger core 2, first circuit heat exchange tube groups each constituted by at least one of the first circuit heat exchange tubes 8A and second circuit heat exchange tube groups each constituted by at least one of the second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B are arranged alternately. Thus, for example, if one circuit of the air conditioning system with two circuits is closed, at least a portion of the fins for this circuit can be used for the other circuit, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger. In addition, the heat exchange performance can be improved at both partial load and full load.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first heat exchanger core 1 and the second heat exchanger core 2 are configured to flow a refrigerant from the second heat exchanger core 2 to the first heat exchanger core 1.

[0045] The abovementioned heat exchanger 100 for the air conditioning system may act as an evaporator or condenser. In the case of the heat exchanger acting as an evaporator, the refrigerant flows from the second heat exchanger core 2 to the first heat exchanger core 1, and it is more favorable that the wind blows through the heat exchanger 100 along the direction from the first heat exchanger core 1 to the second heat exchanger core 2. Since the heat exchange tubes 8 of the second heat exchanger core 2 have a shorter length, less heat exchange is performed by the second heat exchanger core 2, creating less condensed water to prevent or reduce the occurrence of a situation where the wind blowing out carries water. The wind carrying water will cause the rust of the surrounding parts, or will be blown onto the body of an end user, bringing about a bad use experience. Referring to FIG. 2, the first heat exchanger core 1 further includes a plurality of fins 9 arranged alternately with the heat exchange tubes 8 of the first heat exchanger core 1; and the second heat exchanger core 2 further includes a plurality of fins 9 arranged alternately with the heat exchange tubes 8 of the second heat exchanger core 2.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the heat exchanger 100 further includes: a pair of first circuit manifolds 6A. One of the pair of first circuit manifolds 6A is connected with the plurality of first circuit heat exchange tubes 8A of the first heat exchanger core 1 at a side of the first heat exchanger core 1 away from the connection part 5, and the other of the pair of first circuit manifolds 6A is connected with the plurality of first circuit heat exchange tubes 8A of the second heat exchanger core 2 at a side of the second heat exchanger core 2 away from the connection part 5.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first connection part 5A includes a plurality of first connection tubes 50A, and the plurality of first circuit heat exchange tubes 8A of the first heat exchanger core 1 are connected with the plurality of first circuit heat exchange tubes 8A of the second heat exchanger core 2 through the plurality of first connection tubes 50A, respectively.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the heat exchange tube 8 of the first heat exchanger core 1 has a length of L1, the heat exchange tube 8 of the second heat exchanger core 2 has a length of L2, and, ⅕<L2/L1< 9/10.

[0049] The abovementioned heat exchanger 100 for the air conditioning system may act as an evaporator or condenser. In the case of the heat exchanger 100 acting as an evaporator, after the inventor's extensive experimental research of the heat exchanger 100 acting as the evaporator, it is found that, if the heat exchange tube 8 of the first heat exchanger core 1 has a length of L1 and the heat exchange tube 8 of the second heat exchanger core 2 has a length of L2, when it is satisfied that ⅕<L2/L1< 9/10, the heat exchange strengths of the first heat exchanger core 1 and the second heat exchanger core 2 can be adjusted within a reasonable range, and the distribution of the condensed water amount of the heat exchanger on the different heat exchanger cores can be adjusted. It should be noted that in an actual air conditioning system, the condensed water amount of the heat exchanger core near an inner side of a room should be reduced. In other words, the condensed water amount of the second heat exchanger core 2 of the abovementioned heat exchanger should be reduced.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 to FIG. 10, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of heat exchange tubes 8 of each of the first heat exchanger core 1 and the second heat exchanger core 2 include a plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B for forming a second circuit.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 to FIG. 10, in examples of the present disclosure, the heat exchanger 100 further includes: a pair of second circuit manifolds 6B. One of the pair of second circuit manifolds 6B is connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the first heat exchanger core 1 at a side of the first heat exchanger core 1 away from the connection part 5, and the other of the pair of second circuit manifolds 6B is connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the second heat exchanger core 2 at a side of the second heat exchanger core 2 away from the connection part 5.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 2, in examples of the present disclosure, the connection part 5 further includes a second connection part 5B, and the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the first heat exchanger core 1 are connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the second heat exchanger core 2 through the second connection part 5B. The second connection part 5B may include a plurality of second connection tubes 50B, and the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the first heat exchanger core 1 are connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the second heat exchanger core 2 through the plurality of second connection tubes 50B, respectively.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 6, in examples of the present disclosure, the heat exchanger 100 further includes: another pair of second circuit manifolds 6B. One of the other pair of second circuit manifolds 6B is connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the first heat exchanger core 1 at a side of the first heat exchanger core 1 near the connection part 5, and the other of the other pair of second circuit manifolds 6B is connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the second heat exchanger core 2 at a side of the second heat exchanger core 2 near the connection part 5. In this case, the second circuit of the first heat exchanger core 1 and the second circuit of the second heat exchanger core 2 form one second circuit when the other pair of second circuit manifolds 6B are fluidly connected to each other, while the second circuit of the first heat exchanger core 1 and the second circuit of the second heat exchanger core 2 form two separate second circuits when the other pair of second circuit manifolds 6B are fluidly separated from each other.

[0054] Referring to FIG. 4, in examples of the present disclosure, the plurality of heat exchange tubes 8 of only the second heat exchanger core 2 further include the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B for forming the second circuit. The heat exchanger 100 may further include a pair of second circuit manifolds 6B. One of the pair of second circuit manifolds 6B is connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the second heat exchanger core 2 at a side of the second heat exchanger core 2 near the connection part 5, and the other of the pair of second circuit manifolds 6B is connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the second heat exchanger core 2 at a side of the second heat exchanger core 2 away from the connection part 5.

[0055] Referring to FIG. 5, in examples of the present disclosure, the plurality of heat exchange tubes 8 of only the first heat exchanger core 1 further include the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B for forming the second circuit. The heat exchanger 100 may further include a pair of second circuit manifolds 6B. One of the pair of second circuit manifolds 6B is connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the first heat exchanger core 1 at a side of the first heat exchanger core 1 away from the connection part 5, and the other of the pair of second circuit manifolds 6B is connected with the plurality of second circuit heat exchange tubes 8B of the first heat exchanger core 1 at a side of the first heat exchanger core 1 near the connection part 5.

[0056] It should be noted that in the above examples of the present disclosure shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the heat exchange strength requirements of the different circuits are met by varying the lengths of the heat exchange tubes of the different circuits. When the heat exchanger according to the examples of the present disclosure acts as the evaporator, the condensed water amounts of the heat exchanger core 1 and the heat exchanger core 2 can be effectively adjusted to reduce the problems that water is blown out from the evaporator in the air conditioning system. Moreover, with this design, the heat exchange strengths of one or more of the circuits can be changed in a large range while making full use of the fin efficiency. For example, when a certain circuit with a small heat exchange strength is needed, reference may be made to the designs in the examples shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in which the circuit corresponding to the heat exchange tubes 8B can obtain a small heat exchange strength.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 and FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, in examples of the present disclosure, one of the pair of first circuit manifolds 6A is located at a refrigerant outlet side of the heat exchanger 100, and one of the pair of second circuit manifolds 6B is located at the refrigerant outlet side of the heat exchanger 100. The heat exchanger 100 may further include: an outlet side manifold 6C which is in fluid communication with at least one of the first circuit manifold 6A at the refrigerant outlet side of the heat exchanger 100 and the second circuit manifold 6B at the refrigerant outlet side of the heat exchanger 100 through a connection tube 4. The side of the first heat exchanger core 1 away from the connection part 5 may be the refrigerant outlet side of the heat exchanger 100.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in examples of the present disclosure, the one (the lower one shown in the figures) of the pair of first circuit manifolds 6A is provided at a side of the one (the lower one shown in the figures) of the pair of second circuit manifolds 6B away from or towards the second heat exchanger core 2.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 10, in examples of the present disclosure, a cross-sectional area of the first circuit manifold 6A is different from that of the second circuit manifold 6B, or an outer diameter of the first circuit manifold 6A is different from that of the second circuit manifold 6B. For example, the cross-sectional area of the first circuit manifold 6A may be greater than or less than that of the second circuit manifold 6B, or the outer diameter of the first circuit manifold 6A may be greater than or less than that of the second circuit manifold 6B. In addition, a cross-sectional area of a flow channel of the first circuit heat exchange tube 8A is different from that of a flow channel of the second circuit heat exchange tube 8B; or the first circuit heat exchange tube 8A is a flat tube, the second circuit heat exchange tube 8B is a flat tube, a width of the first circuit heat exchange tube 8A is different from that of the second circuit heat exchange tube 8B (here, the width direction of the heat exchange tube is the left-right direction in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 to FIG. 10); or the first circuit heat exchange tube 8A is a flat tube, the second circuit heat exchange tube 8B is a flat tube, a thickness of the first circuit heat exchange tube 8A is different from that of the second circuit heat exchange tube 8B (here, the thickness direction of the heat exchange tube is a direction along which the first circuit heat exchange tube groups and the second circuit heat exchange tube groups are arranged alternately). For example, the cross-sectional area of the flow channel of the first circuit heat exchange tube 8A may be greater than or less than that of the flow channel of the second circuit heat exchange tube 8B; or the width of the first circuit heat exchange tube 8A may be greater than or less than that of the second circuit heat exchange tube 8B; or the thickness of the first circuit heat exchange tube 8A may be greater than or less than that of the second circuit heat exchange tube 8B.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 2, in examples of the present disclosure, the first heat exchanger core 1 further includes a plurality of fins 9 arranged alternately with the plurality of heat exchange tubes 8 of the first heat exchanger core 1; the second heat exchanger core 2 further includes a plurality of fins 9 arranged alternately with the plurality of heat exchange tubes 8 of the second heat exchanger core 2. The first heat exchanger core 1 includes a first portion 11 and a second portion 12. An orthographic projection of the first portion 11 on a plane where the first heat exchanger core 1 is located is at least partially overlapped with an orthographic projection of the second heat exchanger core 2 on the plane where the first heat exchanger core 1 is located, and an orthographic projection of the second portion 12 on the plane where the first heat exchanger core 1 is located is located outside the orthographic projection of the second heat exchanger core 2 on the plane where the first heat exchanger core 1 is located. At a same inlet wind speed at which the wind blows into the heat exchanger, a wind resistance or pressure drop caused by at least a portion of at least one of the fins 9 in the second portion 12 is greater than a wind resistance or pressure drop caused by at least a portion of at least one of the fins 9 in at least one of the second heat exchanger core 2 and the first portion 11. For example, referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, in the aspect of at least one of a fin density, a fin width W, an angle α of a fin louver 91 (which is an angle between the fin louver 91 and the width direction of the fin 9), a quantity of the fin louvers 91 and a length H of the fin louver 91, at least a portion of at least one of the fins 9 in the second portion 12 is greater than at least a portion of at least one of the fins 9 in at least one of the second heat exchanger core 2 and the first portion 11. Thus, the wind field on the surface of the heat exchanger can be made more uniform, and the heat exchange performance can be improved. The heat exchanger may be divided into one part constituted by the first portion 11 and the second heat exchanger core 2, and the other part constituted by the second portion 12. At used herein, “at a same inlet wind speed” does not mean that the inlet wind speeds of one part and the other part must be the same when the heat exchanger operates, but means that the measurements need to be performed for comparison at the same inlet wind speed. For the wavy fins shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the fin density may be the number of peaks or valleys per unit length of the wave. If the fin is a plate-like fin through which the heat exchange tubes pass, the fin density means the number of fins per unit length along a direction perpendicular to the plane in which the fin extends.

[0061] Although the manifold is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the manifold may have any suitable shape and structure, and is not limited to those shown in the figures.

[0062] With the heat exchanger 100 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the performance of the heat exchanger 100 can be improved.

[0063] Although the above embodiments are described, some features of the above embodiments may be combined to form new embodiments.
