Title:
GAS-LIQUID SEPARATOR AND REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/073564
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a gas-liquid separator that can suppress decreases in separation efficiency even under conditions having a large refrigerant flow rate. This gas-liquid separator comprises a plurality of inlet pipes (5a, 5b, 5c) that are inserted into a container (1) from different vertical positions on a side face of the container (1) and that discharge refrigerant, and a separator (4) that distributes refrigerant in which gas and liquid are mixed to the plurality of inlet pipes (5a, 5b, 5c) through branching sections (7a, 7b, 7c) which branch so as to differ in the vertical direction. The gas-liquid separator is configured so that a first inlet pipe (5a) connected to a branching section (7a) to be the lowest of the plurality of inlet pipes is inserted in the side face at a position that is lower than the other inlet pipes (5b, 5c) and so that the refrigerant discharged from the first inlet pipe (5a) collides head on with the interior of the container (1).
