Eine ältere Anmeldung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Entkeimung von Wasser in einem Brauchwasserspeicher durch Erhitzen auf Entkeimungstemperatur.An older application relates to a device for the disinfection of water in a service water storage tank by heating to the disinfection temperature.
Aus der DE-OS 3 618 186 ist ein Wasserverteilsystem für eine Dekontaminationsanlage bekanntgeworden, bei der kontaminiertes Abwasser mit Hilfe einer Pumpe angesaugt und zum Entgasen in einen Behälter gepumpt wird. Anschließend wird das Wasser über eine weitere Pumpe zu einem Wärmetauscher gefördert, dessen ftimär-kreis mit einem Durchlauferhitzer verbunden ist. Dem Durchlauferhitzer ist ein Verweilbehälter nachgeordnet, von wo das auf etwa 140 °C erhitzte Wasser über den Sekundärkreis des Wärmetauschers geleitet wird. Daran anschließend wird das Wasser in einem Kühler heruntergekühlt und zur Nachdekontamination über einen Kohleaktivfilter geleitet. Über ein Druckhalteventil gelangt das Wasser dann zu einem Verbraucher, beispielsweise einer Dusche.A water distribution system for a decontamination system has become known from DE-OS 3 618 186, in which contaminated wastewater is drawn in with the aid of a pump and pumped into a container for degassing. The water is then pumped to a heat exchanger via a further pump, the primary circuit of which is connected to a water heater. A downstream tank is located downstream of the instantaneous water heater, from where the water heated to approximately 140 ° C is conducted via the secondary circuit of the heat exchanger. The water is then cooled down in a cooler and passed through a carbon filter for post-decontamination. The water then reaches a consumer, for example a shower, via a pressure holding valve.
Bei diesem Stand der Technik fällt sogleich der sehr große Aufwand auf, der sich dadurch ergibt, daß zu einer Erhitzung auf etwa 140 °C eine Überdruckanlage verwendet wird, die sogar der Dampfkesselverordnung entspricht. Eine solche Anlage ist mit ihrem Aufwand nicht für eine häusliche Brauchwarmwasser-Versorgungsan-lage geeignet, zumal hier Abwasser aufbereitet wird, das aber dann nicht als Trinkwasser verwendet wird und zumal das gesamte Wasser immer hoch erhitzt wird.In this state of the art, the very great effort which results from the fact that an overpressure system is used for heating to about 140 ° C., which even corresponds to the steam boiler regulation. Such a system is not suitable for a domestic hot water supply system, especially since wastewater is treated here, but is then not used as drinking water and especially since all the water is always heated up.
Aus der US-PS 3 648 438 ist ein Flüssigkeitsreinigungs- und Belüftungssystem bekanntgeworden, bei dem gleichfalls Wasser zur Pasteurisierung vor dem Gebrauch erhitzt wird.From US Pat. No. 3,648,438 a liquid cleaning and aeration system has become known, in which water is also heated for pasteurization before use.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung gemäß der eingangs näher bezeichneten Art so zu gestalten, daß sie sich mit geringem Aufwand in bereits bestehende häusliche Warmwasser-Versorgungsanlagen einbauen läßt. An dem das Warmwasser einer solchen Brauchwasseranlage speichernden Speicher ist bekanntlich ein der Überwachung der Temperatur des gespeicherten Wassers dienender und die Beheizung des Speichers steuernder Thermostat angeordnet.The object of the present invention is to design a device according to the type specified in the introduction in such a way that it can be installed in existing domestic hot water supply systems with little effort. As is known, a thermostat which monitors the temperature of the stored water and controls the heating of the store is arranged on the store storing the hot water of such a service water system.
Erfindungsgemäß ist nun zur Lösung der Aufgabe ein zweistufiger Thermostat vorgesehen, dessen erste Temperaturstufe auf dessen Betriebstemperatur einstellbar ist und dessen Einstellung auf eine höhere keimtötende zweite Temperaturstufe über ein Zeitglied steuerbar ist Durch diese Maßnahme tritt der Vorteil ein, daß lediglich zeitweise der gesamte Speicherinhalt hochgeheizt wird, um in der Zwischenzeit eine kritische Menge übersteigende Bakterien abtöten zu können. Danach wird wieder auf die normale Temperatur des Speichers umgeschaltet und der Speicher einige Zeit mit dieser normalen Temperaturstufe betrieben. Hierbei wird sich wieder eine geringfügige Anreicherung mit den abzutütenden Bakterien einstellen. Nach einer gewissen Zeit wird dann wieder über das Zeitglied auf die Dekontaminationsstufe umgeschallet. Die Wahl der Zeitintervalle, in denen auf die zweite keimtötende Temperatur umgeschaltet wird, ist von den Betriebsgegebenheiten des Speichers abhängig. Je höher die Norrnaltemperaturdes Speichers ist, um so weniger werden sich die Bakterien vermehren und um so weniger ist ein Hochheizen auf die keimtötende zweite Temperaturstufe notwendig. Andererseits ist ein Hochheizen auf die zweite Stufe um so öfter notwendig, je weniger Wasser aus dem Speicher entnommen wird. Die Wahl der Frequenz der Hochheizstufen liegt somit im Ermessen des Fachmanns.According to the invention, a two-stage thermostat is now provided to achieve the object, the first temperature stage of which can be adjusted to its operating temperature and the setting of which can be controlled via a timing element to a higher germicidal second temperature stage. This measure has the advantage that the entire memory content is only temporarily heated to be able to kill a critical amount of bacteria in the meantime. Then the normal temperature of the storage tank is switched over and the storage tank is operated at this normal temperature level for some time. This will result in a slight enrichment with the bacteria to be removed. After a certain time, the timer then switches over to the decontamination level. The choice of the time intervals in which the second germicidal temperature is switched over depends on the operating conditions of the store. The higher the normal temperature of the storage, the less the bacteria will multiply and the less heating up to the germicidal second temperature level is necessary. On the other hand, the less water is removed from the storage tank, the more often it is necessary to heat up to the second stage. The choice of the frequency of the heating stages is thus at the discretion of the person skilled in the art.
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß eine von der Zapfleitung des Speichers ausgehende und über dessen Kaltwasser-Zulaufleitung in den Speicher rückführende Umlaufleitung ein Rückschlagventil und eine vom Zeitglied über eine Steuerleitung einschaltbare Umlaufpumpe enthält. Durch diese Ausgestaltung gelingt zusätzlich eine Entkeimung eines sehr großen Bereichs der Zapfleitung, die vom Speicher zu einer oder mehreren Zapfstellen fühlt.In an embodiment of the invention it is proposed that a circulation line starting from the tap line of the storage and returning via the cold water supply line to the storage contains a check valve and a circulation pump which can be switched on by the timing element via a control line. This configuration additionally enables a very large area of the tap line to be sterilized, which senses from the reservoir to one or more tap points.

Durch diese Ausführungsform des Erfindungsgegenstandes wird der durch Besiedelung mit Kleinstlebewesen besonders gefährdete Bereich der Brauchwasseranlage zuverlässig desinfiziert -2-This embodiment of the subject of the invention reliably disinfects the area of the domestic water system that is particularly at risk from colonization with microorganisms.
