Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water heater with a heatable via a heat exchanger and a tap which is fed directly from this memory and / or from the heat exchanger, a controller being provided by means of a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the water at the outlet of the heat exchanger and to determine the path of the water throughput. which, after reaching a target temperature value, opens a bypass line that connects the outlet of the heat exchanger to the tap line and bypasses the store.
  • Such a water heater is known from DE-OS 3 714 968.
  • the disadvantage of this arrangement is that when the tap is wide open and the outlet temperature is set high, a very large amount of storage water and thus a large storage volume is required to bridge the start-up time of the water heater.
  • a large storage volume is energetically unfavorable and difficult to accommodate in terms of space in a water heater of a generally customary size, an uneven one must be present under certain initial conditions Outlet temperature at the beginning of the tap process must be accepted.
  • the object of the invention is to reduce the storage volume of such a water heater to an optimal minimum. Such a reduction in the storage volume is cost-saving, reduces the weight of the water heater and its energy consumption.
  • the water throughput of a water heater of the type mentioned in the start-up phase of each tap operation can be adjusted to an adjustable minimum value by means of a throttle, a pressure switch being arranged in a cold water supply line leading to the heat exchanger , to which a branch line leading into the inlet of the heat exchanger is connected, which contains the adjustable throttle for the cold water supply.
  • Limiting the water throughput according to the invention within the thermal start-up time leads to a reduction in the storage volume in two respects.
  • the storage volume decreases in the ratio of the reduced throughput to the nominal throughput with the same start-up time
  • the thermal useful power that decreases with the hot water throughput during the start-up phase leads to a shortening of this phase.
  • the minimum amount of storage water to be kept available is determined by using this amount to bridge the thermal start-up time of the water heater until hot water is available in the run.
  • the arrangement of the throttle has the advantage that, due to the throttled cold water supply and thus throttled hot water withdrawal, an almost complete removal of the hot water in the storage tank is possible.
  • the invention is now based on the knowledge that it is advantageous in this sense to limit the amount of hot water that can be drawn within the start-up time, regardless of how far the tap is opened, to a minimum value, in order to achieve a comparatively small amount of storage water and a small amount Storage volume to be able to bridge the start-up time.
  • the pressure switch closes the return flow of the storage to the heat exchanger when the pressure in the storage falls and releases the cold water supply via the throttle, while a pressure sensor connected to the tap via a branch line
  • the burner that heats the heat exchanger starts with a nominal load via a control line.
  • This embodiment is characterized by little design effort in that a pressure drop in the storage when opening the tap valve can be used to start the burner for reheating the storage immediately while the tap water is removed from the storage. This ensures the continued supply of hot water.
  • a branch line opening into the input of the heat exchanger is connected to the pressure switch and contains a valve controlled by the controller, which opens when the temperature setpoint occurs and serves to supply the heat exchanger with cold water.
  • This configuration makes it possible to fully release the cold water throughput to the heat exchanger in accordance with the position of the nozzle when the hot water at the outlet of the heat exchanger reaches the desired temperature.
  • the controller controlled by the temperature in the output line of the heat exchanger is connected to the valve via a control line.
  • the switching state of the valve can be controlled directly as a function of the temperature of the tap water at the outlet of the heat exchanger.
  • a pressure switch at the outlet of the heat exchanger which, when the pressure in the heat exchanger rises, blocks its hot water outlet to the storage tank and opens the bypass line leading to the tap line.
  • thermal recharging is controlled by a storage thermostat after each dispensing operation or to compensate for loss of standby heat. This ensures the constant readiness to draw hot water.
  • the only drawing figure shows the circuit diagram of a water heater according to the invention.
  • the heat exchanger 1 which is heated by a burner (not shown), is assigned a hot water tank 2, the design of which is basically arbitrary within the scope of the invention.
  • this memory can encase or flank the heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchanger 1 contains a coil 3 through which the heating water flows and which is surrounded by the water to be heated. This water is fed to the heat exchanger 1 via a hydraulic pressure switch 4 which is connected to a cold water supply line 5.
  • This pressure switch 9 is connected to the output 11 of the heat exchanger 1.
  • a throttle 13 In a branch line 12 starting from the pressure switch 4 there is a throttle 13 and in a further branch line 14 there is a cold water valve 15 which is controlled via a control line 16 by a controller 17 which in turn is connected via a control line 18 to a control of the flow temperature of the heating water stands.
  • the storage thermostat 28 with the temperature sensor 27 is connected through the control line 19 to the higher-level control unit of the water heater.
  • a pressure sensor 21 which is connected via a control line 22 to the control of the burner heating the heat exchanger 1.
  • the second hydraulic switch 9 is connected via lines 11 and 25 to the heat exchanger, via line 10 to the tap line 8 and via line 24 to the accumulator 2.
  • the control line 23 links the temperature transmitter 26 in line 11 to the temperature controller 17.
  • the heating water circuit is switched to flow to heat exchanger 1.
  • the thermal start-up phase is run through on the primary and secondary side of the system with throttled hot water throughput.
  • the hot water flowing through the heat exchanger 1 flows via the pressure switch 9 and the lines 11, 25 and 25 to the storage tank 2.
  • the controller 17 opens the cold water valve 15 via the control line 16 and releases the flow of the cold water to the coil 3 arranged in the heat exchanger 2 without throttling.
  • the associated pressure increase in the heat exchanger 1 switches the switch 9 into the operating position in which it switches the hot water outlet via the flow line 24 to Memory 2 blocks and the bypass line 10 to the tap 8 and tap 7 opens.
  • This tap 7 is now supplied by the heat exchanger 1 with hot water in the passage.
  • the burner begins to operate in cyclical operation.
  • the heating water temperature setpoint is reduced by the controller 18 connected downstream of the controller 17.
  • the controller 18 connected downstream of the controller 17.
  • the flow pressure in the pressure switches 4 and 9 drops to zero, and these pressure switches go into the rest position, releasing the circulation route via the flow 24 of the heat exchanger 1 and the return 6 for the thermal recharging of the store 2.
  • the reloading process for which the burner may have to switch on several times, is completed as soon as the temperature sensor 27 of the storage thermostat 28 detects that the target value has been reached.
  • a corresponding switching pulse is sent via the control line 19 to the higher-level control unit of the water heater.
