A Such device is known from the installation and operating instructions "AQA total Energy "Type 5600, 8400, 11200, 14000 of the company BWT Wassertechnik GmbH, Schriesheim, DE.

Water utilities typically deliver a water that meets the highest standards becomes. It is usually chemically, biologically and hygienically flawless and corresponds to the Drinking Water Ordinance. To protect the house installation or However, to improve the technical performance characteristics can a water treatment is useful or necessary or desirable. For this purpose, various water treatment devices such. Limescale or water softeners to disposal.

These Water Treatment Equipment are for one certain maximum flow capacity designed, up to the one adequate water treatment can be guaranteed. It puts However, often the problem is that the per-unit time to be treated Amount of water the efficiency smaller water treatment devices overwhelmed. The development of larger water treatment devices is usually time consuming and expensive. In addition, the maximum flow capacity of large-scale systems usually little variable and therefore the situation is bad customizable. That's why often developed different systems with different benefits and to be built.

The Installation and Operating Instructions "JQP Parallel quick assembly kit "the Company Judo Wasseraufbereitung GmbH describes a connection piece, with that is possible is two water treatment devices to switch in parallel. The maximum flow capacity can be doubled by connecting two identical devices to the connector. The water flow to be treated is divided into the connection piece, a part flows through the one device, the other part through the second device. Subsequently, the partial flows before leaving of the connection piece reunited. A disadvantage of this connection piece, that only two devices can be switched in parallel.

DE-GM 74 35 592 describes a filter connector to which up to three filters can be connected. The water flows through while the filters are parallel. Such a connector allows out space limitations only the connection of up to three small filters. The connection of more than three small devices or more than two larger devices practically impossible.

The mentioned at the beginning Installation and Operating Instructions "AQA Total Energy "describes a connection distributor with shut - off valves for connecting up to to five Water treatment units. The connection distributor has a horizontal extending inlet pipe and a laterally spaced drain pipe on, wherein provided in the area between the pipes water treatment devices are connected to both pipes. A disadvantage of this Water distributor is the big one Space requirement, in particular the relatively large installation depth. The total length of the Extension manifold extended with each additional connected water treatment device considerably.

It It is the object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above and to present a compact and cost-effective water distributor, to which by simple modular design several small water treatment devices can be connected, flowing through in parallel so that the treatment of a large volume flow is possible.

Short description the invention

These Task is inventively surprising simple but effective way solved by a water distributor of the type mentioned, which is characterized in that in installation position of the water distributor of the inlet channel and the Drain channel on top of each other are arranged.

The placement of inlet channel and outlet channel one above the other is particularly space-saving in the horizontal direction. The water distributor according to the invention can be mounted particularly close to a vertically extending wall (mounting wall), or the water distributor extends only over a small distance in the horizontal direction away from the wall. In other words, the erfindungsge proper water distributor has (even with mounted water treatment devices) a particularly low installation depth.

Farther can on both sides next to the superimposition of inlet and outlet channel openings or connecting pieces for water treatment devices easily be provided. Compared to the connection distributor "AQA total Energy", where water treatment equipment only centrally located can be can per length of the water treatment device twice as many water treatment devices are connected. Thus can be the capacity a plant according to the invention (= inventive water distributor with attached water treatment devices) double at the same rate overall length of the water distributor.

At the Water distributors according to the invention are Inlet channel and outlet channel typically formed tubular and run approximately horizontal. They are in a vertical plane, which is usually runs parallel to a mounting wall, arranged one above the other. Overflow inlet channel and outlet channel in the area of the outlet openings and inlets. Typically, each pair of one outlet opening and one inlet opening provided, wherein the outlet opening and the entrance opening each having an identical relative position to each other. The latter allows the use of standardized connection spacers. In usually each pair has a terminal adapter; but it is also possible for one Part of the couples (about one side of the water distributor) respectively Blind flanges on the openings especially if not all openings in the foreseeable future of the water distributor needed become. As a rule, the outlet openings and inlet openings go laterally from inlet channel and outlet channel.

Water treatment devices that on the water distributor according to the invention can be mounted are for example limescale protection devices or water softening devices. typical Water Treatment Equipment are suspended from the side via connection spacers at inlet and drainage channel mounted.

The The invention is illustrated in the drawing and is based on a embodiment explained in more detail. It demonstrate:

1 a schematic plan view from above of an embodiment of a water distributor according to the invention with connection spacers and connected water treatment devices;

2 a schematic side view of the embodiment of the water distributor of 1 , without water treatment devices;

3 a schematic section through 2 along AA, with a connection piece with closed valve and a connection piece with valve open;

4 similar to a schematic section 3 by a further embodiment of a water treatment device according to the invention, with connection pieces and water treatment devices on only one side.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is exemplary in the 1 to 3 in an assembly position, which is intended for normal operation, shown.

This embodiment of the water distributor 1 includes a straight, horizontally extending inlet channel 2 for water to be treated with an inlet 3 and a plurality of outlet openings 4 ; 4 '; 4 ''; 4 ''' , as well as a straight, horizontal drainage channel 5 for treated water with several inlets 6 ; 6 '; 6 ''; 6 ''' and an outlet 7 , The outlet openings 4 ; 4 '; 4 ''; 4 ''' are each via a connection adapter 9 . 9 ' . 9 '' . 9 ''' with the water inlet of a single water treatment device 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' connected while the inlet openings 6 ; 6 '; 6 ''; 6 ''' each via a connection adapter 9 . 9 ' . 9 '' . 9 ''' with the water drain of a single water treatment device 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' are connected.

The water flows over the inlet 3 in the inlet channel 2 of the water distributor 1 (The flow direction of the water is indicated by arrows). Here the water flow divides and flows through the outlet openings 4 ; 4 '; 4 ''; 4 ''' and through connection spacers 9 ; 9 '; 9 ''; 9 ''' into the individual water treatment devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' , The partial flows are in the water treatment devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' treats and passes over the terminal spacers 9 ; 9 '; 9 ''; 9 ''' and the inlet openings 6 ; 6 '; 6 ''; 6 ''' into the drainage channel 5 where they are reunited. The treated total stream then leaves the water manifold via the outlet 7 ,

The connection spacers 9 ; 9 '; 9 ''; 9 ''' are with a valve 11 ; 11 '; 11 ''; 11 ''' in the closed position, all channels to and from the water treatment devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' shuts off. This allows individual water treatment devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' be disconnected from the system with one hand without having to shut down the entire system. This may be necessary, for example, during maintenance work, when replacing the device or for a short-term reduction of the treatment capacity.

In 1 are at the water distributor 1 connected water treatment devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' shown in plan view from above. All these water treatment devices 8th . 8th' . 8th'' . 8th'' are located on the right side in the direction of flow 15 of the water distributor 1 , In addition, other water treatment devices 10 ; 10 '; 10 ''; 10 ''' in opposite positions to the devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' on the left 16 to the water distributor 1 be connected in the same way. As a result, the number of connected individual devices and, correspondingly, the capacity of the system can be doubled without the water distributor 1 in its total length must be extended. Should the other water treatment devices 10 . 10 ' . 10 '' . 10 ''' not needed, so can the associated outlet openings 4a (please refer 3 ) and inlet openings 6a are either sealed with blind flanges, or at the openings are in preparation for a rapid capacity extension connection spacers 9a installed, their valves 11a are closed.

The inlet channel 2 and the drainage channel 5 are like in 2 shown superimposed. They overlap in an overlap area 17 between the ends 12 . 13 ; in this overlap area 17 all entrance openings are also located 6 . 6 ' . 6 '' . 6 ''' and outlet openings 4 . 4 ' . 4 '' . 4 ''' , By this arrangement, it is possible that in each case an outlet opening 4 ; 4 '; 4 ''; 4 ''' and an entrance opening 6 ; 6 '; 6 ''; 6 ''' on the same side of the water distributor 1 are placed close to each other. The individual devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' are then without much installation effort with the connection spacers 9 ; 9 '; 9 ''; 9 ''' to the water distributor 1 mountable.

The inlet channel 2 and the drainage channel 5 are each at one end 12 . 13 closed, that the flow direction of the total flow before and after the water distributor 1 does not change. This facilitates installation in an existing installation. The flow paths of the different partial flows through the water distributor 1 and the individual water treatment devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' are then the same length. This guarantees that the total flow is equal in parts to the individual water treatment devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th''' divides and these are charged evenly.

3 shows a cut through 2 , wherein also the openings and connection pieces are shown in section.

The outlet opening 4 and the entrance opening 6 On the right side 15 lie directly next to each other in a plane and are with union nuts 14 provided for fast and convenient connection of the connection adapter 9 and the water treatment device 8th , The same applies to the left side 16 ,

The connection adapter 9 is with the valve 11 provided in the open position both a channel 18 for water to be treated, as well as a canal 19 for treated water releases. In contrast, the valve locks 11a in connection adapter 9a in the closed position, both a channel 18a for water to be treated, as well as a canal 19a for treated water.

The water distributor 1 is in principle arbitrarily extendable, for example by mounting channel extensions at the ends 12 . 13 each with at least one opening, so that an even larger number of water treatment devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th'''; 10 ; 10 '; 10 ''; 10 ''' is connectable. The individual water treatment devices 8th ; 8th'; 8th''; 8th'''; 10 ; 10 '; 10 ''; 10 ''' can be identical or different depending on needs and requirements.

4 shows another embodiment of a water distributor according to the invention 1 comparable in a sectional view 3 in ready-to-use installation position. On the website 15 is at the exit opening 4 and at the entrance 6 a connection adapter 9 provided on which a water treatment device 8th connected. On the opposite side 16 however, are the outlet opening 4a and the entrance opening 6a each with a blind flange 20 locked.

With the blind flanges 20 can the water distributor 1 to a mounting wall 21 draw near. This will change the installation depth 22 in front of the mounting wall 21 minimized (An even smaller installation depth is achieved, although the outlet opening 4a and the entrance opening 6a omitted). The saving of installation depth 22 by the superposition of inlet channel 2 and drainage channel 5 is particularly clear in this illustration: the width of the drainage channel 5 and inlet channel 2 goes only once in the installation depth 22 one.

The water distributor according to the invention 1 can be parked with a stand on the ground, or he can on the mounting wall 21 be fixed, about tightened (not shown). In both cases, the holder of the water distributor 1 over perforated plates 23 respectively.

In summary, the invention teaches to provide for a water distributor for the connection of several water treatment devices, a supply line and a drain line, each having openings for a treatment water flow. One of the lines runs directly above the other line. At each one opening of both lines, a connection piece for a water treatment device can be connected; through the water treatment device, water flows from the supply line into the drain line. The water distributor points a small installation depth when it is mounted in front of or on an approximately vertical wall.
