Description

The invention relates to a ventilation and venting machine as a modular system - in particular an automatic ventilation valve for heating and hot water systems or closed pipe circuits with special consideration of the use of reusable parts and hydraulic balancing.

Ventilation valves are used wherever media in closed systems and systems, tanks, boilers, storage tanks or pipelines are subject to thermal and pressure equalization must take place. Known applications are compressed air systems, water-bearing systems, fuel systems and containers, closed systems in traffic engineering. Frequently ventilation valves for liquids are pronounced as float valves with closure mechanism.

• – Standhalten der Druckprüfung bis ca. 10 bar
• – Helfen beim Befüll- und Entleerungsvorgang, ca. 3 bar
• – Sicherstellen der Automatikentlüftung, ca. 3 bar.

In the more specific application of the heating and hot water system, the air valves take over essentially three functions / operating modes

• - Withstand the pressure test until approx. 10 bar
• - Help with the filling and emptying process, approx. 3 bar
• - Ensure automatic ventilation, approx. 3 bar.

The membrane technology is still a young technology, but is subject to permanent renewal because of almost unlimited application possibilities. The use of membranes takes place in various disciplines of technology, such as medicine / dialysis, beverage industry / filtration and alcohol withdrawal, service water / cleaning and filtration, traffic vehicle technology / cavity ventilation, etc. Membranes are produced as semi-permeable films and their purpose is determined by various product parameters certainly; they withstand high liquid pressures, but are permeable to gaseous media. The membrane material is made of plastic, such as. As polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polypropylene (PP), is oleophobic and / or hydrophobic, chemically compatible in many areas, suitable for sterilization, not wettable at the smallest surface tensions.

Hydraulic balancing - after DIN EN 12 831 (Jun. 2003) and demanded in the VOB / C DIN 18 380 - Describes a method by which each radiator or heating circuit of a surface heating at a specified flow temperature of the heating system is exactly supplied with the amount of heat that is needed to achieve the desired room temperature for each room within a heating system. This is usually achieved during planning, installation and commissioning of the system; also a subsequent hydraulic balancing is given by means of existing fittings in the pipe network, as presettable thermostatic valves. Objectives of hydraulic balancing are

• - Defined mass flows at each radiator in the design case
• - Uniform mass flow distribution in heating phases
• - Good control properties of the thermostatic valve.

In order to preset the flow rate for each radiator, either thermostatic valves with flow characteristic are fitted by means of adapted kV cones or by means of the return screw connections the flow resistances are set. Since in any case a vented heating or hot water system is a basic requirement for balancing, the use of a venting machine on the radiator or water heater is obvious, which also provides metrological requirements for the feasibility of hydraulic balancing.

In the following, the prior art will be appreciated based on ventilation valves of the type described above. According to the state of the art - depending on the application - a variety of types of ventilation valves are known. Ventilations for hydraulic systems and fuel tanks were essentially not considered.

The utility model DE 299 00 221 represents a venting device with a venting and drain valve - in particular for radiators - before, which has a screw socket consisting of a housing with an adjustable valve spindle as a vent or drain screw, and is characterized by particularly efficient production.

The bleed and drain valve is operated by hand.

The international application WO 2004/81 457 / European registration EP 1 601 914 / German utility model DE 203 39 86 describes a mechanical vent valve for radiators, the vent channel by turning or pressing the valve body - even against a restoring force - the opening between the exterior and radiator interior releases.

Due to non-permanent opening of the vent channel difficulties in filling the system are expected; to fill the system, the holding body or the valve body is to be solved.

The German patent DE 199 00 472 /European Patent Application EP 1 018 615 provides a kit for a vent valve for radiators o. Ä., Has a housing with a screw socket for its attachment in an opening of the radiator and in this housing in the axial direction by means of threaded axially adjustable valve spindle as a bleed screw or in another application as a drain plug, having a passage opening in a chamber and / or passes through such a passage opening or closes in the closed position.

The aim of the development is the creation of a ventilation device of the type mentioned, with which a rationalization can be achieved in particular in the production of such venting and emptying devices.

The German utility model DE 202 18 676 presents a vent valve for radiators or heating systems with an axially adjustable bleed screw with a polygonal head, which has a cap that is removable and shaped so that with her the polygonal head of the bleed screw can be operated.

The German disclosure DE 197 35 812 describes a radiator vent valve for cramped access areas and thus poor handling such that the semi-automatic valve has a ferromagnetic coupling, which causes against a mechanical spring action but with the flow direction caused by a permanent magnet valve opening.

The German disclosure DE 101 61 440 discloses a radiator vent valve consisting of a threaded nipple for radiator installation, a lid with a bore into which a cylindrical female hollow body is pressed, which fixes a drainage insert with a rotatable outlet via a drainage screw. By means of the threaded screw with a conical approach, the connecting bore of the cylindrical body is closed.

The utility model DE 77 17 347 shows a vent valve for a radiator, with a housing to be fixed to the radiator, which has an axial bore and in the axial bore a valve seat and an internal thread, and with an externally operable spindle, the valve at the inner free end and at a distance from the valve cone has a screwed into the internal thread of the housing external thread, with an outgoing from the outer end side blind hole in the spindle, which is connected to an opening between the valve cone and external thread transverse bore serving as a vent channel.

A working on the above principle of action radiator vent valve is also in the German patent DE 42 00 856 presented.

The German disclosure DE 10 2006 015 263 discloses a venting valve of simple design with semipermeable membrane, which fulfills the functions / modes of pressure testing, filling, emptying and automatic venting. The valve consists essentially of a cylindrical arrangement and does without moving parts. The membrane element is the link between the liquid-filled interior - the radiator or the heating or hot water system - and the outer space. Semipermeable membranes hold - depending on the structure and nature - liquids - or are impermeable to these - and allow gaseous media escape.

The drawbacks of the valve become clear during rapid venting during filling or venting during emptying. For this purpose, the ventilation valve is released from its valve seat until the previously sealed through-bore in the connection threaded pin is visible outside and the gases can escape or the air can be sucked. Subsequent water, however, is not retained and its escape can only be prevented by manual closure.

This not inconsiderable disadvantage is the successor development of a ventilation and vending machine - disclosure DE 10 2006 021 454 - eliminated, by means of an additional float valve device. The through hole in the threaded stem of the automatic ventilation is moved to above the float valve device and can be opened or closed by turning the cap of the venting machine. An attached in the cap, passing through the membrane - this, however, tightly closing - guide pin also acts by the screwing movement on the float of the attached in the lower part of the machine float valve.

The automatic ventilation system can be designed as a passage or angle valve. Furthermore, the embodiments with a flat membrane / membrane disk or tube membrane or a differently shaped, multi-dimensional membrane are possible.

According to the European patent application EP 1 035 365 is a universal connection for connecting a pressurized fluid system with a utilization device, consisting of a valve with a valve housing, in the bore a self-closing spring-loaded check valve is arranged and a connectable with this valve opener, which is arranged in the bore of the valve housing spring-loaded valve body of the check valve when screwing the valve opener in the valve housing by the connecting pin against the spring pressure axially displaceable in the open position of the valve, and the valve opener is designed as an adapter with a handwheel with external thread and a central bore for rotatably receiving the connection dome, and the valve housing has a bore with an internal thread for releasably securing the handwheel.

The universal connection works like a 'socket' for fluid systems; The self-closing spring-loaded check valve prevents leakage of liquids during the plug-in process. With the plug-in operation, the spring-loaded check valve is opened.

All publications presented are only partially or not at all suitable for the specific use of a ventilation and venting system as a modular system - especially not as an automatic ventilation valve for heating and hot water systems or closed pipe circuits with special consideration of the use of reusable parts and hydraulic balancing ,
