Abstract
Disclosed are a heat exchanger and a hot-water supply device using same, which can effectively prevent scale accumulation from impeding circulation, without all of the outer pipes thereof, or only those on the downstream side, being formed with large-diameter pipes. Since a greater circulation cross section can be maintained between a first outer pipe (53) and various first inner pipes (51) than between a second outer pipe (54) and various second inner pipes (52) by making the number of first inner pipes (51) that constitute the downstream side of the hot-water supply fewer than the number of second inner pipes (52) that constitute the upstream side, scale can be effectively prevented from impeding circulation in the outer pipe (53) on the downstream side, without the outer pipes (53, 54), or with only the outer pipes (53) on the downstream side, being formed with large-diameter pipes. In this case, the water for the hot-water supply can be sufficiently heated by the various second inner pipes (52), since there are a greater number of second inner pipes (52) on the upstream side of the hot-water supply than there are first inner pipes (51) on the downstream side.
Description
- 1 Description Title of the invention HEAT EXCHANGER AND HOT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM USING THE SAME Technical field The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for use as a water heat exchanger of, for example, a heat pump hot water supply system; and a hot water supply system using the same. Background art Conventionally, a heat pump hot water supply system includes a heating unit which heats supplied water with a heat pump circuit; and a tank unit which stores hot water generated by the heating unit; and supplies the hot water from the tank unit to a bath and a kitchen (for example, see Patent document 1). The heating unit of the hot water supply system includes a refrigerant circuit having a compressor, an evaporator, a water heat exchanger (gas cooler), and the like; and is configured to heat hot water supply water by the water heat exchanger and supply the hot water to the tank unit through a hot water pipe. Moreover, the water heat exchanger of the hot water supply system includes an inner tube which circulates a high temperature refrigerant of the heat pump circuit; and an outer tube in which the inner tube is arranged; and is configured to circulate hot water supply water between the inner tube and the outer tube and thereby exchange heat between the refrigerant and the hot water supply water through the inner tube. Meanwhile, the inner tube and the outer tube have a problem in that a so-called scale consisting primarily of calcium and -2 magnesium contained in hot water supply water (e.g., calcium carbonate) is easily adhered thereto; and when a refrigerant and hot water supply water are in countercurrent flow, particularly a scale is strongly adhered to and deposited on the downstream side (high temperature side) of the hot water supply water and impedes water circulation. In light of this, conventionally, all of the outer tubes or only the downstream side thereof is formed by large-diameter tubes so as to sufficiently secure the circulation cross-sectional area between the inner tube and the outer tube so that scale deposit does not impede water circulation. Prior art document Patent document Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2006-46877 Disclosure of the invention Problems to be solved by the invention However, there is a problem that when all of the outer tubes or only the downstream side thereof is formed by large-diameter tubes, the kinds and costs of tubes used for making the outer tubes are increased and the productivity is reduced. In view of the above problem, the present invention has been made, and an advantage of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger which can effectively prevent circulation blockage due to scale deposits without forming all of the outer tubes or only the downstream side thereof by large-diameter tubes; and a hot water supply system using the same. Means for solving the problems In order to achieve the above advantage, the present - 3 invention provides a heat exchanger comprising: a heat conductive inner tube which circulates a first heat medium; and an outer tube in which the inner tube is arranged, the heat exchanger circulating a second heat medium between the inner tube and the outer tube and thereby exchanging heat between the first heat medium and the second heat medium through the inner tube, wherein the diameter of the outer tubes on an upstream side of the second heat medium is configured to be equal to the diameter of the outer tubes on a downstream side of the second heat medium, wherein the number of inner tubes on the downstream side of the second heat medium is configured to be smaller than the number of inner tubes on an upstream side of the second heat medium. More specifically, the number of inner tubes on the downstream side of the second heat medium is smaller than the number of inner tubes on the upstream side thereof. Therefore, the circulation cross-sectional area can be secured such that the circulation cross-sectional area between the outer tube and the inner tube on the downstream side of the second heat medium is larger than the circulation cross-sectional area between the outer tube and the inner tube on the upstream side thereof. Thus, for example, any scale deposited on the downstream side of the hot water supply water as the second heat medium does not impede circulation of the second heat medium. Moreover, the number of inner tubes on the upstream side of the second heat medium is larger than the number of inner tubes on the downstream side thereof, and thus the second heat medium is sufficiently heated by the inner tubes on the upstream side. Advantages of the invention According to the present invention, the circulation cross- -4 sectional area can be secured such that the circulation cross sectional area between the outer tube and the inner tube on the downstream side of the second heat medium is larger than the circulation cross-sectional area between the outer tube and the inner tube on the upstream side thereof, and thus the circulation blockage in the outer tube on the downstream side due to scale deposits can be effectively prevented without forming all of the outer tubes or only the downstream side thereof by large-diameter tubes. Therefore, the kinds and costs of tubes used for making the outer tubes are not increased and thus the productivity can be improved. In this case, the second heat medium can be sufficiently heated by the inner tubes on the upstream side of the second heat medium, and thus there is an advantage that the entire heat transfer efficiency is not lowered.

Best mode for carrying out the invention Figures 1 to 5 illustrate an embodiment of the present invention: Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of a heat pump hot water supply system; Figure 2 is a schematic block diagram of a first water heat exchanger; Figure 3 is a plan view thereof; Figure 4 is a side view thereof; and Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view along line X-X in Figure 3. The heat pump hot water supply system illustrated in the same figure includes a refrigerant circuit 10 which circulates a refrigerant; a first hot water supply circuit 20 which circulates hot water supply water; a second hot water supply circuit 30 which circulates hot water supply water; a bath circuit 40 which circulates bath water; a first water heat exchanger 50 which exchanges heat between the refrigerant of the refrigerant circuit 10 and the hot water supply water of the first hot water supply circuit 20; and a second water heat exchanger 60 which exchanges heat between the hot water supply water of the second hot water supply circuit 30 and the bath water of the bath circuit 40, wherein the first water heat exchanger 50 constitutes the heat exchanger of the present invention. The refrigerant circuit 10 is formed by connecting a compressor 11, an expansion valve 12, an air heat exchanger 13, and a first water heat exchanger 50; and is configured to circulate a refrigerant in the order of the compressor 11 -> the first water heat exchanger 50 -+ the expansion valve 12 -+ the air heat exchanger 13 -> the compressor 11. Note that the refrigerant used in the refrigerant circuit 10 is, for example, a natural refrigerant such as carbon dioxide. The first hot water supply circuit 20 is formed by connecting a hot water storage tank 21, a first pump 22, and the first water heat exchanger 50; and is configured to circulate hot water supply water in the order of the hot water storage tank 21 -+ the first pump 22 -+ the first water heat exchanger 50 -+ the hot water storage tank 21. The hot water storage tank 21 is connected to a water supply pipe 23 and the second hot water supply circuit 30; and the hot water supply water supplied from the water supply pipe 23 is configured to circulate through the first hot water supply circuit 20 via the hot water storage tank 21. The hot water storage tank 21 is connected to a bath 41 through a flow path 25 in which a second pump 24 is provided so that the hot water supply water in the hot water storage tank 21 is supplied to the bath 41 by the second pump 24. The second hot water supply circuit 30 is formed by connecting the hot water storage tank 21, a third pump 31, and a second water heat exchanger 60; and is configured to circulate hot water supply water in the order of the hot water storage tank 21 -+ the second water heat exchanger 60 -) the third pump 31 -> the hot water storage tank 21. The bath circuit 40 is formed by connecting the bath 41, a fourth pump 42, and the second water heat exchanger 60; and is configured to circulate bath water in the order of the bath 41 -+ the fourth pump 42 -) the second water heat exchanger 60 -+ the bath 41. The first water heat exchanger 50 is connected to the refrigerant circuit 10 and the first hot water supply circuit 20; and is configured to exchange heat between a refrigerant as the first heat medium which circulates through the refrigerant circuit 10 and hot water supply water as the second heat medium which circulates through the first hot water supply circuit 20. The first water heat exchanger 50 includes heat conductive first and I second inner tubes 51 and 52 each of which circulates a refrigerant; first and second outer tubes 53 and 54 in which the first and second inner tubes 51 and 52 are arranged respectively; a pair of first end headers 55 to which one end of the first and second inner tubes 51 and 52 is connected respectively; a pair of second end headers 56 to which one end of the first and second outer tubes 53 and 54 is connected respectively; a first intermediate header 57 to which the other end of the first and second inner tubes 51 and 52 is connected respectively; and a second intermediate header 58 to which the other end of the first and second outer tubes 53 and 54 is connected respectively, wherein each of the inner tubes 51 and 52 and each of the outer tubes 53 and 54 are spirally wound. In this case, two first inner tubes 51 are arranged in the first outer tube 53 and four second inner tubes 52 are arranged in the second outer tube 54. Each first end header 55 is connected to the refrigerant circuit 10 and is connected to a refrigerant inflow pipe 55a and a refrigerant outflow pipe 55b. In this case, the first end header 55 on the inflow side is connected to each first inner tube 51 mutually in parallel; and the first end header 55 on the outflow side is connected to each second inner tube 52 mutually in parallel. Each second end header 56 is connected to the first hot water supply circuit 20 and is connected to a hot water supply water inflow pipe 56a and a hot water supply water outflow pipe 55b. In this case, each second inner tube 52 passes through the second end header 56 on the inflow side; and each first inner tube 51 passes through the second end header 56 on the outflow side. The first intermediate header 57 includes a pair of header portions 57a; and a communication pipe 57b which allows each header portion 57a to be mutually communicated with each other.
~0 Each first inner tube 51 is connected mutually in parallel to one header portion 57a; and each second inner tube 52 is connected mutually in parallel to the other header portion 57a. In this case, the first and second inner tubes 51 and 52 are connected to the first intermediate header 57 in the same direction. The first and second outer tubes 53 and 54 are connected to the second intermediate header 58 in the same direction; and the first and second inner tubes 51 and 52 pass therethrough respectively. Moreover, the first inner tube 51 and the first outer tube 53 are formed such that a spirally wound portion Al which is spirally wound from outside to inside and a spirally wound portion A2 which is spirally wound from inside to outside are arranged mutually in two upper and lower stages; and the pipe conduit of each of the spirally wound portions Al and A2 continues to each other by shifting the pipe conduit in up and down directions inside each of the spirally wound portions Al and A2. The second inner tube 52 and the second outer tube 54 are formed such that the spirally wound portion A2 which is spirally wound from inside to outside and the spirally wound portion Al which is spirally wound from outside to inside are arranged mutually in two upper and lower stages; and the pipe conduit of each of the spirally wound portions Al and A2 continues to each other by shifting the pipe conduit in up and down directions inside each of the spirally wound portions Al and A2. The spirally wound portions Al and A2 of the first inner tube 51 and the first outer tube 53 are arranged above the spirally wound portions Al and A2 of the second inner tube 52 and the second outer tube 54; and each of the spirally wound portions Al and A2 are arranged in four upper and lower stages. The second water heat exchanger 60 is connected to the second hot water supply circuit 30 and the bath circuit 40 and is configured to exchange heat between the hot water supply water of the second hot water supply circuit 30 and the bath water of the bath circuit 40. Moreover, the hot water supply system includes a heating unit 70 having the refrigerant circuit 10 and the first water heat exchanger 50; and a tank unit 80 having the hot water storage tank 21, the first pump 22, the second pump 24, the second hot water supply circuit 30, the fourth pump 42, and the second water heat exchanger 60, wherein the heating unit 70 is connected to the tank unit 80 through the first hot water supply circuit 20. In the above configured hot water supply system, the first water heat exchanger 50 exchanges heat between a high temperature refrigerant of the refrigerant circuit 10 and a hot water supply water of the first hot water supply circuit 20 and the hot water supply water is heated. In the first water heat exchanger 50, as illustrated by a dashed line arrow in Figure 2, the refrigerant of the refrigerant circuit 10 flows into each first inner tube 51 through one first end header 55. After circulation in each first inner tube 51, the refrigerant flows into each second inner tube 52 through the first intermediate header 57. After circulation in each second inner tube 52, the refrigerant flows outside through the other first end header 55. In addition, as illustrated by a solid line arrow in Figure 2, the hot water supply water of the hot water supply circuit 20 flows into the second outer tube 54 through one second end header 56. After circulation between the second outer tube 54 and each second inner tube 52, the hot water supply water flows into the first outer tube 53 through the second intermediate header 58. After circulation between the first outer tube 53 and each first inner tube 51, the hot water supply water - -LU flows outside through the other second end header 56. That is, in the first water heat exchanger 50, the refrigerant and the hot water supply water circulate in a mutually opposite direction. Note that the number of first inner tubes 51 on the downstream side of the hot water supply water is smaller than the number of second inner tubes 52 on the upstream side of the hot water supply water. Therefore, the circulation cross-sectional area is secured such that the circulation cross-sectional area between the first outer tube 53 and each first inner tube 51 is larger than the circulation cross-sectional area between the second outer tube 54 and each second inner tube 52. Thus, any scale deposited on the downstream side of the hot water supply water does not impede circulation of the hot water supply water. In addition, the number of second inner tubes 52 on the upstream side of the hot water supply water is larger than the number of first inner tubes 51 on the downstream side thereof and thus the hot water supply water is sufficiently heated by each second inner tube 52. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the number of first inner tubes 51 on the downstream side of the hot water supply water is made smaller than the number of second inner tubes 52 on the upstream side thereof. Therefore, the circulation cross-sectional area can be secured such that the circulation cross-sectional area between the first outer tube 53 and each first inner tube 51 is larger than the circulation cross-sectional area between the second outer tube 54 and each second inner tube 52. Thus, the circulation blockage in the outer tube 53 on the downstream side due to scale deposits can be effectively prevented without forming all of the outer tubes 53 and 54 or the only outer tube 53 on the downstream side by large-diameter tubes. Therefore, the kinds and costs of tubes used for making the outer tubes 53 - .L L and 54 are not increased and the productivity can be improved. In this case, the number of second inner tubes 52 on the upstream side of the hot water supply water is larger than the number of first inner tubes 51 on the downstream side thereof and the hot water supply water can be sufficiently heated by each second inner tube 52. Thus, there is an advantage that the entire heat transfer efficiency is not lowered. Moreover, the first and second intermediate headers 57 and 58 are provided between the upstream side and the downstream side of the hot water supply water, to which the first inner tube 51 and the first outer tube 53; and the second inner tube 52 and the second outer tube 54 are connected in the same direction so that the pipe conduit is fold back at each of the intermediate headers 57 and 58. Therefore, each of the inner tubes 51 and 52 and each of the outer tubes 53 and 54 are not too lengthy and the entire first water heat exchanger 50 can be compact. Further, each of the inner tubes 51 and 52 and each of the outer tubes 53 and 54 are spirally wound and are formed such that the spirally wound portion Al which is spirally wound from outside to inside and the spirally wound portion A2 which is spirally wound from inside to outside are arranged mutually in up and down directions; and the pipe conduit of each of the spirally wound portions Al and A2 continues to each other by shifting the pipe conduit in up and down directions inside each of the adjacent spirally wound portions Al and A2. Thus, each of the inner tubes 51 and 52 and each of the outer tubes 53 and 54 with a large length can be effectively spirally wound and very advantageous to miniaturization. Note that in the above described embodiment, the pipe conduit is shifted inside the adjacent spirally wound portions Al and A2, but the pipe conduit may be shifted outside the spirally wound portions Al and A2. Further, in the above described embodiment, the heat exchanger of the present invention is used as the first water heat exchanger 50 of the heat pump hot water supply system, but the present invention can be applied to other heat exchangers for another application as long as the heat exchanger can exchange heat between the first heat medium and the second heat medium. Figures 6 to 8 illustrate another embodiment of the present invention: Figure 6 is a plan view of a first water heat exchanger; Figure 7 is a side view thereof; and Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view along line Y-Y in Figure 6. Note that the same reference numerals or characters are assigned to the components which are the same as or similar to those of the above described embodiment. In the present embodiment, of each of the spirally wound portions Al and A2 arranged in four upper and lower stages, the spirally wound portions Al and A2 up to the two stages from the bottom are formed so as to extend by a predetermined length L in one side direction (in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which each of the spirally wound portions Al and A2 is arranged) than the other spirally wound portions Al and A2. The extension portion 54a is arranged below the evaporator 13 in the heating unit 70. More specifically, the extension portion 54a can be arranged in a space below the evaporator 13 which is dead space if the extension portion 54a is not provided. Thus, the length of the second outer tube 54 can be increased by the length of the extension portion 54a, which can increase the capacity and thus can improve the capability of the first water heat exchanger 50. Note that in the above-described embodiment, the extension - 13 portion 54a of the first water heat exchanger 50 is arranged below the evaporator 13, but the extension portion 54a may be arranged below a device other than the evaporator 13. 5 Description of symbols 50 First water heat exchanger 51, 52 Inner tube 53, 54 Outer tube 10 54a Extension portion 57 First intermediate header 58 Second intermediate header Al, A2 Spirally wound portion 15 In the claims which follow and in the preceding description of the invention, except where the context requires otherwise due to express language or necessary implication, the word "comprise" or variations such as "comprises" or "comprising" is used in an inclusive sense, 20 i.e. to specify the presence of the stated features but not to preclude the presence or addition of further features in various embodiments of the invention.
