When the user fetched boiling water tap at first, water flowed into the water heaters 12 and heats by gas burner in water heater from water source supply pipe 26.Then, hot water flows in the case 14 through managing 28, and flows to the user through managing 30 after filling with case 14.Afterwards, when the user activates hot water supply, just can from the hot water capacity being kept at case 14, extract hot water.Favourable part like this is, when the water in the case 14 kept enough temperature, the user need not to wait for that cold water just supplies with them after being heated.Like this, system 10 just can provide hot water to the user more quickly than previously described existing system, waits for the water yield of being wasted when hot water arrives tap in other cases thereby reduced the user.System 10 has also avoided user to wait biding one's time the waste of the used combustion gas that will use.This result can be optimized near case (or a plurality of case) being installed in the outlet (or outlet) by user's control.Though case 14 does not need insulating materials 16, insulating materials 16 can improve the maintenance to the energy that supplies to the hot water in the case 14.The capacity by water heater 12 (mains) following transporting water at the water source that should also be noted that limits the flowing velocity that water leaves case 14.
Fig. 2 a has shown first kind of form 40a of the water heating system among second embodiment.Water heating system 40a is similar to water heating system shown in Figure 1 10, and identical feature is represented with identical Reference numeral.Yet water heating system 40a also comprises controller 42.Near the sensor 44 of controller 42 being installed in case 14 middle parts receives the signal of the temperature of the water indication (4-50 liter) case 14.Controller 42 is also connected on the water heater 12, and can respond current and control whether start water heater 12.When water heater 12 did not start automatically in response to current, then it can be simple more and therefore more cheap.
If sensor 44 is about 55 degrees centigrade or lower to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 starts water heaters 42.If between about 55 degrees centigrade and about 75 degrees centigrade, then controller 42 does not start water heater 42 to sensor 44, if perhaps water heater 12 is being worked then it is closed down to the temperature of controller 42 indication water.
Fig. 2 b has shown second kind of form 40b of second embodiment of water heating system, and it is applicable to that more volume is the case that 50-400 rises.Water heating system 40b is similar to water heating system 40a shown in Figure 2, and identical feature is represented with identical Reference numeral.Yet, in water heating system 40b, near first and second sensor 44a and the 44b signal that receive the temperature of water indication case 14 of controller being installed in case 14 tops and bottom respectively.
If second/bottom sensor 44b is about 55 degrees centigrade or lower to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 starts water heaters 42.If first/top sensor 44a is about 75 degrees centigrade or higher to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 does not start water heater 42, if perhaps water heater 12 is being worked then it is closed down.If second/bottom sensor 44b is about 55 degrees centigrade or higher to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, and first/top sensor 44a is about 75 degrees centigrade or lower to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 does not start water heater 12, if perhaps water heater 12 is being worked then it is closed down. Dual sensor 44a and 44b have improved sensitivity and the precision to water heater 40b control.
System 40a and 40b have reduced the waste of water in the identical mode of describing with reference water heating system 10 of mode.Because combustion gas is not supplied to water heater 12 under these conditions, otherwise these combustion gas will be wasted as mentioned above, so the 40a of system and 40b have also reduced the combustion gas waste.
Fig. 3 has shown the water heating system 50 among the 3rd embodiment.Water heating system 50 is similar to water heating system 40a and the 40b shown in Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b, and identical feature is represented with identical Reference numeral.Yet in water heating system 50, controller 42 is also connected to pump 52.Case 14 also comprises the additional outlet 54 that is connected to the inlet 56 of pump 52 via pipe 58.The outlet 60 of pump 52 is connected to water source supply pipe 26 via pipe 62.
If second/bottom sensor 44b is about 55 degrees centigrade or lower to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 starts water heaters 42.If first/top sensor 44a is about 75 degrees centigrade or higher to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 does not start water heater 42, if perhaps water heater 12 is being worked then it is closed down.If second/bottom sensor 44b is about 55 degrees centigrade or higher to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, and first/top sensor 44a is about 75 degrees centigrade or lower to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 does not start water heater 42, if perhaps water heater 12 is being worked then it is closed down.
In addition, controller 42 can respond user's instruction and start water heater 12 and pump 52, and water is circulated so that the water yield in the preheating cabinet 14 between case 14 and water heater 12.The case 14 that this is for having relatively large memory capacity---for example 50-400 liter---is particularly advantageous characteristics.
In this embodiment, controller 42 is judged water in the case 14 whether owing to use or owing to heat loss is cooled off, and advantageously corresponding making a response.The same permission of this embodiment (for example, in order to stablize the temperature of the water in the case 14) is when needed carried out preheating to the whole water yield in the case 14, supplies with (for example, supplying with bathtub) with the water source supply flow velocity then.Because the water source supply flow velocity is higher than the flow velocity of immediately heating water heater, so this is favourable in many cases.
The speed of pump 52 depends on desired water heater 12 outlet temperatures.The water heater outlet temperature of expectation depends on the design of water heater 12 and goes into coolant-temperature gage.For example generally speaking,, be provided with pump speed relatively low, so that increase the time of staying of water and make the maximizing efficiency of the rate of heat transfer in the water heater 12 for given for example 70 outlet temperature and 10 degrees centigrade inflow water source supply water temperature.Yet, be 30 degrees centigrade if coolant-temperature gage is gone at the water source, will increase the speed of pump 52 so that make maximum heat transfer in the water heater 12.Surrounding air also can influence the speed of pump, but its influence degree is less.
In order to change and to control the water time of staying and then change and its final temperature of control by water heater 12, controller 42 also can change the speed of pump 52.In addition, the control to the speed of pump 52 can be used for influencing mixing (stratification) amount of the water in the case 14 and the reduction of temperature.For example, generally speaking, very high flow velocity---for example 12 Liter Per Minutes---will make the hot water that enters case 14 mix with existing water in the case 14.Yet relatively low flow velocity---for example 5 Liter Per Minutes---makes hot water not mix with existing water in the case 14 basically, but forms stratification or layering in case 14.In these layers, the hottest advantageously the most close outlet 24 of water in the case 14, and the most close user thus.
Control the temperature of water owing to no longer need for example to regulate the required relatively costly control electronic component of heating of water by the speed of simple control pump, therefore can reduce the cost of water heating system 50 by changing gas flow, flame intensity and/or flame size.And water heater 12 can move under constant (high efficiency) temperature, and just is opened or turn-offs.
Fig. 4 has shown the water heating system 70 among the 4th embodiment.Water heating system 70 is similar to water heating system 40a and the 40b shown in Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b, except controller 42 is connected to flow divider 72.Valve 72 comprises: the inlet 72a that is connected to water source supply pipe 26; Be connected to the first outlet 72b of the inlet 18 of water heater 12 via pipe 74; With via the pipe 76 be connected to the pipe 28 so that be connected to pump 14 inlet 22 second the outlet 72c.Controller 42 controllable valve 72 will be exporting 72c from the inlet 72a guiding first outlet 72b or second from the water of water source supply pipe 26.In this embodiment, water heater 12 starts when having detected current and pass through water heater automatically.
If second/bottom sensor 44b is 55 degrees centigrade or lower to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, thereby then controller 42 can control valves 72 makes from the water of water source supply portion 76 then flows to the first outlet 72b, and therefore flows to the inlet 18 of water heater 12.As mentioned above, water heater 12 starts when the hot water tap causes having current to pass through water heater automatically sensing owing to for example user opens.
If second/bottom sensor 44b is 55 degrees centigrade or higher to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, and first/top sensor 44a is about 75 degrees centigrade or lower to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 control valves 72 and with water from the water source supply portion 26 guiding second outlet 72c, and the inlet 22 of the case 14 that therefore directly leads.
As for heater 40, when controller 42 senses water in the case 14 when enough hot, thereby then its control valve 72 with water from 26 guiding, the second outlet 72c of water source supply portion, and the inlet 22 of the case 14 that therefore leads.Therefore, these water yields are by water heater 12, so water heater 12 do not start, thereby have reduced the use of combustion gas.
Equally with the use that has reduced water about water heating system 40a and the described same way as of 40b.
Except the saving of foregoing combustion gas and water, water heater 70 also has additional advantage, that is since water heater 12 sensed current by the time just start automatically simply and move with full capacity, therefore can realize very simple and cheap water heater 12, and need not control assembly.
Fig. 5 has shown the water heating system 80 among the 5th embodiment.Water heating system 80 have with previous shown in the identical parts of water heating system, therefore still represent identical feature with identical Reference numeral.Water heating system 80 has combustion gas (Instant heating type) water heating circuit of indicating with Reference numeral 82 generally and the solar energy water heating circuit of indicating with Reference numeral 84 generally.Gas circuit 82 comprises pump 84, its have via pipe 88 be connected to water heater 12 outlet 20 inlet 86 and be connected to the outlet 90 of the inlet 92 at the place, centre position that approximately is positioned at case 14.Case 14 also comprises the additional outlet 94 that is connected to the inlet 18 of water heater 12 via pipe 96.Solar energy loop 84 comprises solar panel 98 and pump 100.The outlet 102 of pump 100 is connected to the inlet 104 of solar panel 98 via pipe 106.Solar panel 98 also has the outlet 108 that is connected to the addition entry point 110 of case 14 via pipe 112.Pump 100 also has the inlet 114 that is connected to outlet 116 via pipe 118.Water source supply pipe 26 is the T font and enters in the pipe 118.System 80 also comprises the three-temperature sensor 44c and the 4th temperature sensor 44d that is positioned at the exit of solar panel 98 near case 14 middle parts.Sensor 44c and 44d are connected to controller 42.
When controller started first pump 84, water is circulation between the top of case 14 and water heater 12, so that water is preheated.When controller 42 starts second pump 100, but and enough solar energy times spent are arranged, water circulation between the bottom of case 14 and solar panel 98 is so that preheat water.
Generally speaking, when controller 42 decisions make one or two work in pump 84 and 100, so that can the different expectation demand of optimal adaptation.Controller 42 always attempts to utilize solar energy rather than combustion gas can add hot water.More specifically, if the temperature at the temperature ratio sensor 44c place at sensor 44d place is high about 4 degrees centigrade, then controller 42 will start (solar energy loop 84) second pump 100.Controller 42 will keep starting second pump 102, unless the temperature difference between sensor 44d and the sensor 44b is less than about 4 degrees centigrade, if perhaps the temperature of sensor 44a indication water is 80 degrees centigrade or higher.Temperature in case 14 bottoms be 80 the degree be acceptable, because if do not use hot water then heat will be redistributed in the first half of case.
If the 3rd/intermediate sensor 44c is 55 degrees centigrade or lower to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 starts (gas circuit 82) pump 90.If the temperature of first/top sensor 44a indication water is about 75 degrees centigrade or higher, then controller 42 closes terminations of pumping 90.If the 3rd/intermediate sensor 44c is 55 degrees centigrade or higher to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, and the temperature of first/top sensor 44a indication water is about 75 degrees centigrade or lower, and then controller 42 does not start or closes termination of pumping 90.
If the temperature of sensor 44a indication water is about 80 degrees centigrade or higher, then close down first pump 90 and second pump 102 is overheated to prevent.
In addition, controller 42 can respond user instruction and start water heater 12 and pump 90, and water is circulated so that the water yield in preheating or the stable case 14 between case 14 and water heater 12.The case 14 that this is for having relatively large memory capacity---for example 50-400 liter---is the feature of expecting very much.
Fig. 6 has shown the water heating system 120 among the 6th embodiment.Water heating system 120 is similar to water heating system shown in Figure 5 80, and identical parts are indicated with identical Reference numeral.Yet water heating system 120 includes only single pump 122 and has the flow divider 124 of inlet 126, first outlet 128 and second outlet 130.
Judge that when controller 42 water should pass through gas circuit 82 circulation times, then start pump 122, and control flow divider 124 so that water from entering the mouth 126 then flow to first outlet 128, and and then via managing 132 inlets 18 that flow to water heater 12.Hot water leaves the outlet 20 of water heater 12, and is conducted to the inlet 134 of case 14 via pipe 136.By managing 140 with the inlet 142 of water from the outlet 138 suction pumps 122 of case.This pump also has the outlet 144 that is connected to the inlet 126 of flow divider 124 via pipe 146.
Judge that when controller 42 water should pass through solar energy loop 84 circulation times, then start pump 122, and control flow divider 124 so that water 126 be diverted to second and export 130 from entering the mouth.Second outlet 130 is connected to the inlet 104 of solar panel 98 via pipe 148.The outlet 108 of solar panel 98 is connected to the inlet 150 of case 14 via pipe 152.
If the 3rd/intermediate sensor 44c is 55 degrees centigrade or lower to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, then controller 42 will make water turn to pass through gas circuit.If the temperature of first/top sensor 44a indication water is about 75 degrees centigrade or higher, then controller 42 will close termination of pumping 122.If the 3rd/intermediate sensor 44c is 55 degrees centigrade or higher to the temperature of controller 42 indication water, and the temperature of first/top sensor 44a indication water is about 75 degrees centigrade or lower, and then controller 42 will make water turn to by solar energy loop 84.
In addition, controller 42 can start water heater 12 and pump 122 in response to user instruction, and water is circulated so that the water yield in preheating or the stable case 14 between case 14 and water heater 12.The case 14 that this is relatively large for memory capacity---for example 50-400 liter---is the feature of expecting very much.Because regulation is arranged, when also expecting to have case 14 is carried out sterilization (for example, being used for Legionnella (legionella) control).According to some suggestions, this can be designated as 60 degrees centigrade or higher carrying out up to the temperature of top sensor 44a and intermediate sensor 44c by using gas circuit 82.Alternatively, according to other suggestions, this can be undertaken by using gas circuit 82 to be designated as 60 degrees centigrade up to top sensor 44a and bottom sensor 44b (that is whole water tank 14).
Fig. 7 has shown the water heating system 160 among the 7th embodiment.System 160 is similar to system shown in Figure 6 120, and therefore identical parts use identical Reference numeral to indicate.Yet in system 160, flow divider 124 also has the 3rd outlet 162 that is connected to pipe 164, and this pipe 164 can be discharged in the atmosphere, perhaps is used for collecting so that utilize again.If it is low to being enough to freeze the water in the solar panel 98 and it is produced infringement that controller 42 is judged environment temperatures, then control flow divider 124 so that water 126 is guided to the 3rd outlet 162 from entering the mouth.This just makes the water in the solar panel 98 pass through pipe 164 emptyings.Also can carry out draining and prevent that solar panel 98 is overheated.These drain operation have description the applicant in the International PCT patent application No.PCT/AU2008/001476 that submitted on October 3rd, 2008, its related content is combined in herein by cross reference.
Though invention has been described with reference to concrete example, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can also implement with many other forms.For example, available instant electric water heater replaces Instant heating type gas heater, and this electric heater makes it possible to save electric energy rather than combustion gas.
