Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à une installation de chauffage central munie d'un circuit d'eau chaude à usage domestique ou eau sanitaire et comprenant un appareil de chauffage comportant une enveloppe ou virole, dont la partie inférieure est munie d'un brûleur, notamment d'un brûleur à gaz et sur laquelle vient s'enrouler ou non un conduit dans lequel circule l'eau du circuit de chauffage, ce circuit traversant ensuite un faisceau d'ailettes situées à la partie supérieure de l'enveloppe sur la trajectoire des gaz chauds qui s'échappent de cette dernière pour être dirigés ensuite vers une conduite d'évacuation.The present invention relates to a central heating installation provided with a hot water circuit for domestic use or sanitary water and comprising a heating device comprising an envelope or ferrule, the lower part of which is provided with a burner, in particular of a gas burner and on which a pipe is wound or not in which the water circulates from the heating circuit, this circuit then passing through a bundle of fins located at the upper part of the envelope on the trajectory of the hot gases escaping from the latter to then be directed to a discharge pipe.
On connaît des installations de chauffage central de ce type dans lesquelles le circuit d'eau chaude sanitaire comprend un second conduit dans lequel circule l'eau de chauffage, et qui traverse le faisceau d'ailettes en contact thermique intime avec le premier conduit dans lequel circule l'eau de chauffage.There are known central heating installations of this type in which the domestic hot water circuit comprises a second conduit in which the heating water circulates, and which crosses the bundle of fins in intimate thermal contact with the first conduit in which circulates the heating water.
Le brevet français N° 1 352 607 décrit une telle installation de chauffage dans laquelle la liaison thermique intime entre le premier conduit, dans lequel circule l'eau du circuit de chauffage, et le second conduit dans lequel circule l'eau du circuit sanitaire, est obtenue en accolant les deux conduits de façon qu'ils constituent un tube à double passage qui traverse le faisceau d'ailettes, ce tube présentant une section droite de forme appropriée, par exemple circulaire ou elliptique.French Patent No. 1,352,607 describes such a heating installation in which the intimate thermal connection between the first conduit, in which the water from the heating circuit circulates, and the second conduit in which the water from the sanitary circuit circulates, is obtained by joining the two conduits so that they constitute a double-passage tube which crosses the bundle of fins, this tube having a cross section of suitable shape, for example circular or elliptical.
On connaît également par BE-A-671 097 des installations de chauffage à double conduit dans lesquelles le contact thermique intime entre les deux conduits, respectivement du circuit de l'eau de chauffage et du circuit de l'eau sanitaire, est obtenu en incorporant l'un des conduits dans l'autre, ces deux conduits étant alors réalisés sous la forme de deux tubes, éventuellement concentriques, traversant le faisceau d'ailettes de l'appareil de chauffage, la surface extérieure du tube intérieur étant appliquée jointivement contre la surface intérieure du tube extérieur.BE-A-671 097 also discloses double duct heating installations in which the intimate thermal contact between the two ducts, respectively of the heating water circuit and the domestic water circuit, is obtained by incorporating one of the conduits in the other, these two conduits then being produced in the form of two tubes, possibly concentric, passing through the bundle of fins of the heating appliance, the external surface of the internal tube being applied joined against the inner surface of the outer tube.
L'expérience montre que dans les appareils de chauffage du type mentionné ci-dessus, il n'est pas possible d'obtenir un échange thermique parfait entre les deux conduits, car la surface de contact entre l'eau véhiculée par le conduit de chauffage et le conduit d'eau sanitaire placé dans le conduit de chauffage est trop limitée. Il en résulte qu'en cas de non circulation prolongée de l'eau dans l'un des conduits, sa température peut dépasser celle de l'eau en mouvement, la totalité des calories recueillies par l'eau ne circulant pas, n'étant pas transmises à l'eau circulant. Il en découle que, sur ces installations connues, il est nécessaire de faire circuler l'eau de chauffage par mise en route de l'accélérateur de circuit de chauffage pour obtenir un chauffage immédiat de l'eau sanitaire, ce qui oblige à prévoir un circuit séparé permettant cette circulation, lorsque l'installation de chauffage central n'est pas en service (période d'été).Experience shows that in heating devices of the type mentioned above, it is not possible to obtain perfect heat exchange between the two conduits, since the contact surface between the water conveyed by the heating conduit and the domestic water pipe placed in the heating pipe is too limited. It follows that in the event of prolonged non-circulation of the water in one of the conduits, its temperature can exceed that of the moving water, the totality of the calories collected by the water not circulating, being not transmitted to circulating water. It follows that, on these known installations, it is necessary to circulate the heating water by starting the accelerator of the heating circuit to obtain immediate heating of the domestic water, which means that provision must be made for separate circuit allowing this circulation, when the central heating installation is not in service (summer period).
Pour pallier ces difficultés, on a envisagé - FR A 1 484 821 - de réaliser un échangeur de chaleur dans lequel le circuit de chauffage, dans sa traversée du faisceau d'ailettes, est réalisé sous la forme d'une pluralité de tubes aplatis raccordés les uns aux autres par des coudes et le circuit d'eau sanitaire est réalisé sous la forme d'un tube replié en S ou en épingle et disposé à l'intérieur des tubes aplatis constituant le conduit du circuit de chauffage.To overcome these difficulties, it has been envisaged - FR A 1 484 821 - to produce a heat exchanger in which the heating circuit, in its crossing of the fin bundle, is produced in the form of a plurality of flattened tubes connected to each other by elbows and the sanitary water circuit is produced in the form of a tube folded in an S or a pin shape and arranged inside the flattened tubes constituting the duct of the heating circuit.
Dans une telle installation connue, les parois rectilignes du tube du circuit d'eau sanitaire sont plaquées et généralement soudées contre les parois correspondantes du tube aplati du circuit d'eau de chauffage dans lequel est positionné le circuit d'eau sanitaire. Cette disposition présente un inconvénient grave : en effet, le contact physique entre les deux tubes peut conduire à l'ébullition de l'eau sanitaire car dans ce cas, on réalise un contact thermique direct entre le gaz chaud traversant le faisceau d'ailettes et les deux tubes constituent les circuits d'eau sanitaire et de chauffage.In such a known installation, the rectilinear walls of the tube of the sanitary water circuit are pressed and generally welded against the corresponding walls of the flattened tube of the heating water circuit in which the sanitary water circuit is positioned. This arrangement has a serious drawback: in fact, physical contact between the two tubes can lead to the boiling of domestic water because in this case, there is a direct thermal contact between the hot gas passing through the fin bundle and the two tubes constitute the domestic water and heating circuits.
La présente invention se propose d'apporter une installation perfectionnée ne présentant pas les inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.The present invention proposes to provide an improved installation which does not have the drawbacks mentioned above.
Elle a donc pour objet une installation de chauffage central munie d'un circuit d'eau chaude à usage domestique, ou eau sanitaire, qui comprend un appareil de chauffage comportant une virole dont la partie intérieure est munie d'un brûleur, notamment d'un brûleur à gaz, et sur laquelle vient s'enrouler ou non un conduit du circuit de chauffage qui traverse ensuite un faisceau d'ailettes situées à la partie supérieur de la virole, sur le trajet des gaz chauds, le circuit de chauffage dans sa traversée du faisceau d'ailettes étant réalisé sous la forme d'une pluralité de tubes aplatis raccordés les uns aux autres par des coudes et le circuit d'eau chaude sanitaire étant réalisé sous la forme d'un tube conformé en épingle ou en serpentin et disposé à l'intérieur desdits tubes aplatis lors de la traversée du faisceau d'ailettes, caractérisée en ce que:
- les tubes du circuit d'eau chaude sanitaire, disposés en épingle ou en serpentin dans les tubes aplatis du circuit d'eau de chauffage ne sont pas au contact de ces derniers et
- les dimensions desdits tubes aplatis et desdits tubes sont choisies de manière que le volume d'eau contenu entre les tubes aplatis et les circonvolutions des tubes en épingle soit aussi réduit que possible.It therefore relates to a central heating installation provided with a hot water circuit for domestic use, or sanitary water, which comprises a heating device comprising a ferrule whose inner part is provided with a burner, in particular of a gas burner, and on which a heating circuit duct is wound or not, which then crosses a bundle of fins located at the upper part of the shell, on the hot gas path, the heating circuit in its crossing of the fin bundle being produced in the form of a plurality of flattened tubes connected to each other by elbows and the domestic hot water circuit being produced in the form of a tube shaped as a pin or serpentine and disposed inside said flattened tubes when crossing the fin bundle, characterized in that:
- the tubes of the domestic hot water circuit, arranged in a pin or serpentine in the flattened tubes of the heating water circuit are not in contact with the latter and
- The dimensions of said flattened tubes and said tubes are chosen so that the volume of water contained between the flattened tubes and the convolutions of the hairpin tubes is as small as possible.
Selon une caractéristique de cette invention, on prévoit à chaque extrémité des tubes aplatis extérieurement au faisceau d'ailettes, un embout qui est brasé ou soudé sur ladite extrémité de façon à l'obturer, cet embout présentant la forme d'une plaque munie d'une première ouverture pour le raccordement du tube coudé, assurant la liaison entre les serpentins ou épingles du conduit d'eau sanitaire et d'une seconde ouverture pour le raccordement du tube coudé qui assure la liaison entre deux tubes aplatis consécutifs.According to a characteristic of this invention, there is provided at each end of the tubes flattened externally to the fin bundle, an end piece which is brazed or welded on said end so as to close it, this end piece having the form of a plate provided with 'a first opening for the connection of the bent tube, ensuring the connection between the coils or pins of the sanitary water conduit and a second opening for the connection of the bent tube which ensures the connection between two consecutive flattened tubes.
Selon une autre caractéristique de cette invention et en vue d'accroître encore les échanges thermiques entre le circuit de l'eau de chauffage et celui de l'eau sanitaire, lors de leur traversée du faisceau d'ailettes, on prévoit une surface de transmission thermique entre les circonvolutions du tube enroulé en épingle ou en spirale, à l'intérieur des tubes aplatis.According to another characteristic of this invention and with a view to further increasing the heat exchanges between the heating water circuit and that of the sanitary water, when they pass through the fin bundle, a transmission surface is provided. thermal between the convolutions of the tube wound in a pin or in a spiral, inside the flattened tubes.
Selon l'invention, ladite surface de transmission thermique est réalisée sous la forme d'une plaque métallique comportant des parties partiellement cylindriques épousant la forme du tube conformé en épingle, sur lequel elles viennent s'engager, raccordées par des parties planes verticales.According to the invention, said thermal transmission surface is produced in the form of a metal plate comprising partially cylindrical parts matching the shape of the tube shaped as a pin, on which they come to engage, connected by vertical flat parts.

En se référant aux dessins et notamment aux figures 1 et 2, on voit que l'appareil de chauffage objet de cette invention comporte un premier conduit 10 pour le chauffage de l'eau du circuit du chauffage central et un second conduit 12 pour le chauffage de l'eau à usage domestique ou eau sanitaire. Afin d'améliorer la transmission thermique, les deux conduits ont un échange thermique intime dans la partie supérieure de l'appareil de chauffage où est positionné le faisceau d'ailettes 18 (partie représentée aux figures 1 et 2).Referring to the drawings and in particular to Figures 1 and 2, it can be seen that the heating device which is the subject of this invention comprises a
Selon l'invention dans cette partie supérieure de l'appareil de chauffage, le conduit 10′ du circuit dans lequel circule l'eau de chauffage se présente sous la forme d'une pluralité de tubes aplatis tels que 10′, qui présentent chacun une section droite de forme ovale, ou sensiblement ovale, dont le grand axe est disposé verticalement. Comme on le décrira en détail ci-après, les différents tubes aplatis 10′ disposés parallèlement sont raccordés à leur extrémités par des tubes coudés tels que 14.According to the invention in this upper part of the heating appliance, the
Le conduit d'eau sanitaire 12 est constitué d'un tube de préférence de section droite circulaire et il est disposé à l'intérieur des tubes aplatis tels que 10′ qu'il traverse en prenant la configuration d'une épingle ou d'un serpentin de façon à augmenter considérablement la surface d'échange thermique, entre l'eau du chauffage qui circule dans les tubes aplatis 10′ et l'eau sanitaire contenue dans le tube en configuration d'épingle 12′, dans sa traversée du tube aplati. Comme on le voit clairement sur la figure 1, chaque tube 10′ constituant une portion du circuit de l'eau de chauffage dans sa traversée du faisceau d'ailettes 18, reçoit une partie en configuration d'épingle 12′ du conduit d'eau sanitaire. Le positionnement de la section de tube en configuration d'épingle 12′ dans le tube aplati 10′ constituant le conduit de l'eau de chauffage, est réalisé de manière qu'il n'existe aucun contact entre les parois des tubes 12′ et 10′. En outre, la section du tube en configuration d'épingle 12′est choisie de manière que le volume d'eau contenu entre le tube aplati 10′ et l'épingle ou serpentin 12′ soit aussi réduit que possible de manière que l'eau circulant dans le circuit sanitaire 12 prenne toutes les calories de l'eau de chauffage, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de mettre en service l'accélérateur du circuit de chauffage, l'absence de contact entre les parois des tubes 10′ et 12′ empêchant toute ébullition de l'eau sanitaire circulant dans le tube 12′.The
L'obturation des extrémités des tubes aplatis 10′ est réalisée selon l'invention à l'aide d'embouts 20 en forme de plaques (figures 3 et 4), qui comportent une ouverture 22 pour le raccordement des tubes coudés 16 qui assurent la liaison entre deux serpentins ou épingles 12′ consécutifs et une seconde ouverture 24 pour le raccordement des tubes coudés 14 assurant la liaison entre deux tubes aplatis 10′ consécutifs.

Afin d'améliorer encore les échanges thermiques entre les deux fluides (eau de chauffage - eau sanitaire), lors de leur traversée du faisceau d'ailettes 18, on peut prévoir des surfaces supplémentaires d'échange 28 reliant entre elles les circonvolutions du tube conformé en épingle ou serpentin 12′ incorporé dans chaque tube aplati 10′.In order to further improve the heat exchanges between the two fluids (heating water - sanitary water), during their crossing of the
Dans l'exemple illustré par les figures 6 et 7, cette surface d'échange supplémentaire se présente sous la forme d'une plaque comportant des parties partiellement cylindriques 30 qui viennent s'engager sur les différentes portions du tube 12′ enroulé en épingle, ces parties 30 étant raccordées par des parties planes verticales 32. La figure 7 représente la disposition relative du tube 12′ enroulé en épingle, muni de la plaque 28, et du tube aplati 10′ dans lequel est disposée l'épingle 12′. La plaque 28 peut être éventuellement brasée sur le tube 12′.In the example illustrated by FIGS. 6 and 7, this additional exchange surface is in the form of a plate comprising partially
On voit que, grâce à l'invention, on obtient une surface d'échange maximale entre les deux conduits 10′ et 12′ et par conséquent un échange thermique parfait entre les circuits d'eau de chauffage et d'eau sanitaire.It can be seen that, thanks to the invention, a maximum exchange surface is obtained between the two
Dans la variante représentée sur les figures 8 à 11, le tube 12′ disposé en épingle ou en serpentin, est réalisé selon une structure monobloc avec la plaque 28, l'ensemble tube et plaque étant embouti sous la forme de deux demi-coquilles 34, 34′ qui sont raccordées par leur plan de joint 36, et solidarisées par un procédé de soudure sans métal d'apport, par exemple par pression, ultrasons ou autres.In the variant shown in Figures 8 to 11, the
Dans la variante de réalisation de l'invention illustrée par la figure 12, le tube 12′, disposé en épingle ou en serpentin, dans lequel circule l'eau sanitaire, présente une configuration légèrement cintrée dans ses parties qui sont situées au voisinage des parois du tube 10′ dans lequel circule l'eau de chauffage et ce tube 12′ est muni d'une pluralité de bagues 38 en matière plastique résistant à la chaleur et à l'humidité, par exemple en silicone, ces bagues étant enfilées sur le tube 12′ à intervalles réguliers comme le montre la figure 12. Cette disposition particulière présente un double avantage : elle permet tout d'abord d'éviter tout contact des tubes 12′ avec le tube constituant le conduit 10′ dans lequel circule l'eau de chauffage et d'autre part elle élimine les vibrations d'origine hydraulique qui se produisent dans ce type d'installation lorsque l'eau sanitaire circule dans le serpentin selon lequel est configurée la conduite d'eau sanitaire.In the variant embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 12, the
La lecture de la description qui précède montre que l'invention apporte une installation de chauffage assurant un échange thermique parfait entre les circuits incorporés d'eau de chauffage et d'eau sanitaire, grâce à une surface de contact thermique importante obtenue sans contact physique des circuits, par la disposition relative des deux conduits, par la configuration en épingle du tube de conduit de circulation de l'eau sanitaire traversant le tube aplati du conduit de l'eau de chauffage, par le faible volume de l'eau contenue entre chaque tube aplati et le tube disposé en épingle qu'il contient et de préférence grâce à la disposition des bagues en matière plastique enfilées sur le tube constituant le circuit d'eau sanitaire qui maintiennent ce dernier à l'écart du tube constituant le circuit d'eau de chauffage en éliminant toute source de vibrations d'origine hydraulique.Reading the above description shows that the invention provides a heating installation ensuring perfect heat exchange between the incorporated circuits of heating water and sanitary water, thanks to a large thermal contact surface obtained without physical contact of the circuits, by the relative arrangement of the two conduits, by the hairpin configuration of the sanitary water circulation conduit tube passing through the flattened tube of the heating water conduit, by the small volume of water contained between each flattened tube and the tube arranged in a pin that it contains and preferably thanks to the arrangement of plastic rings threaded on the tube constituting the sanitary water circuit which keep the latter away from the tube constituting the circuit heating water by eliminating all sources of hydraulic vibration.
Grâce à ces caractéristiques originales, en cas de non circulation prolongée de l'eau dans l'un des conduits (par exemple dans le conduit de l'eau de chauffage en période d'été), sa température ne peut pas dépasser celle de l'eau en mouvement, étant donné qu'une quantité maximale des calories recueillies par l'eau ne circulant pas, est transmise à l'eau en circulation.Thanks to these original characteristics, in the event of prolonged non-circulation of water in one of the conduits (for example in the conduit of heating water during the summer period), its temperature cannot exceed that of l moving water, since a maximum amount of the calories collected by the non-circulating water is transmitted to the circulating water.
Par ailleurs, il est toujours possible d'obtenir la puissance totale développée par l'appareil de chauffage dans l'un des conduits lorsque la circulation de l'eau est arrêtée dans l'autre conduit. Enfin, l'invention permet, par une circulation de l'eau dans les deux circuits, de répartir la puissance totale de l'appareil entre les deux circuits en fonction des débits d'eau chaude désirés, tout en évitant toute ébullition de l'eau chaude sanitaire. L'invention permet en outre de réaliser une économie de matière importante (matériau de brasage) par rapport aux solutions connues mettant en oeuvre des tubes accolés.Furthermore, it is always possible to obtain the total power developed by the heater in one of the conduits when the circulation of water is stopped in the other conduit. Finally, the invention makes it possible, by circulating water in the two circuits, to distribute the total power of the appliance between the two circuits as a function of the desired hot water flow rates, while avoiding any boiling of the hot water. The invention also makes it possible to achieve a significant saving in material (brazing material) compared to known solutions using joined tubes.
Il demeure bien entendu que la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits et représentés ci-dessus mais qu'elle en englobe toutes les variantes.It remains to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown above but that it encompasses all variants thereof.
