Systems and Methods for Vapor Compression Systems with a Multi-Circuit Heat Exchanger and a Low Cost Distributor

原文（中文）

Systems and methods for vapor compression systems having at least one multi-circuit heat exchanger and a distributor designed to receive multi-phase refrigerant from an expansion valve and evenly distribute the multi-phase refrigerant using the distributor have been developed for improved efficiency and reduced cost. The distributor may be positioned in close proximity to the expansion valve and may be oriented with respect to an output of the expansion valve to cause the refrigerant flow to impact the distributor and enhance turbulent flow to facilitate mixing of the liquid and vapor refrigerant. Channels extending from the distributor may be positioned with respect to the output of the expansion valve to facilitate even distribution of the multi-phase refrigerant flow. With each circuit of the multi-circuit heat exchanger supplied with evenly distributed multi-phase refrigerant, efficiency will be improved.
