Description

INTEGRALLY FORMED, COMBINED HEAT EXCHANGER
The present invention relates to a combined heat exchanger for heating tap water and central heating water by means of hot gases, comprising tap water ducts and central heating water ducts.
Such combined heat exchangers are generally known, this in the form of heat exchangers manufactured from copper pipes. There are herein always two separate pipes, wherein one of the pipes forms a duct for tap water and the other pipe forms the duct for central heating water. It is further pointed out that it is generally known to apply heat exchangers in so-called combination boilers for the combined heating of tap water and central heating water, which heat exchangers are only suitable for heat¬ ing central heating water, wherein the tap water is heated by a second heat exchanger. It is noted that tap water is also designated as sanitary water.
Although such combined heat exchangers function well, they have the drawback that a rather high flue gas temperature is required. This is associated with the fact that a relatively high final temperature in the order of magnitude of 70°C is required for tap water, while two heat exchangers must moreover be passed through, each involving an individual temperature loss. Through use of a single heat exchanger which heats the central heating water as well as the tap water, a second heat exchanger for heating the tap water is avoided. This has the advan¬ tage that operation can take place at lower flue gas temperatures during take-off of tap water, so that the efficiency of the boiler for sanitary use can be in¬ creased. From NL-A-9202045 a combined heat exchanger for heating tap water and central heating water by means of hot gases, comprising tap water ducts and central heating water ducts, by which the tap water ducts and the central heating water ducts are incorporated in a single heat exchanger body is known.
According to said prior art the central heating water ducts are arranged in a first plane and the tap water ducts are arranged in a second plane, located further from the ducts for the flue gases. The transfer of heat to the tap water ducts is thus not optimal, the more as the tap water ducts comprise a separate pipe embedded in the body of the heat exchanger. The aim of the invention is the avoiding of those problems .
This aim is reached in that the tap water ducts and the central heating water ducts are arranged alternately at least in a first part of the heat exchanger body. This leads to a more effective transfer of heat.
According to a preferred embodiment the heat exchanger body is manufactured from aluminium or an alloy containing aluminium and the tap water ducts are provided with an internal layer. The use of aluminium enables a further decrease in the flue gas temperatures; possible condensation moisture formed when the dew point is reached does not adversely affect the aluminium.
Ducts for tap water may not come into contact with aluminium, this being prevented by applying the internal layer, which is manufactured for instance from Teflon.
Other attractive preferred embodiments are specified in the remaining sub-claims.
The invention will be further elucidated with refer- ence to the annexed drawings, in which: figure 1 shows a partly broken away perspective view of a first embodiment of the heat exchanger according to the invention; figure 2 shows a sectional view of a second embodi- ment of a heat exchanger according to the invention; figure 3 shows a sectional view of a third embodi¬ ment of a heat exchanger according to the invention; and figure 4 is a diagram explaining a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
Shown in figure 1 is a heat exchanger which is designated as a whole with 1. Such a heat exchanger is for instance used in a so-called combination boiler for combined heating of central heating water and tap water.
The heat exchanger 1 comprises a heat exchanger body 2 for instance cast from aluminium and a burner which is designated with 3. The burner 3 is of course provided with various auxiliary provisions, such as pre-mix taps and the like, although since they do not form the subject of the present invention they are not shown in the draw¬ ing. The burner 3 is provided with burner openings 4 and the flames and flue gases exiting therefrom are guided along the heat exchanger body 2 by means of a guide plate 5. The flue gases herein move in downward direction. On arrival at the underside the relevant flue gases are guided under the heat exchanger body 2, wherein they are released on the other side of the heat exchanger body 2. Arranged on the underside for this purpose is a basic body 6 to which the heat exchanger body 2 is fixed, as is guide plate 5.
The construction described thus far corresponds with usual heat exchangers. The heat exchanger body is provid- ed on its side facing the burner 3 with protrusions 7 whereby the heat-transferring surface is enlarged. Pro¬ trusions 7 herein take a shortened form at the position of the burner in respect of the temperatures prevailing there. The guide plate is also provided there with an internal covering 8 of heat-resistant material.
As can be seen in the drawing, ducts 9 for central heating water and ducts 10 for tap water are arranged alternating in the heat exchanger body 2. A possibility is thus hereby provided of simultaneously being able to heat tap water by means of tap water ducts 10 as well as central heating water by means of central heating ducts 9, wherein the prior art drawbacks of applying two heat exchangers connected in cascade and the required high temperature of the flue gases associated therewith are avoided. It is noted here that in order to prevent the tap water coming into contact with the aluminium of which the heat exchanger body 2 is manufactured, the tap water ducts are provided with an internal layer, for instance of Teflon, not shown in the drawings.
The heat exchanger body 2 is connected to a supply duct 11 for central heating water, in addition to an outlet duct 12 for central heating water and a supply duct 13 for tap water and an outlet duct 14 for tap water. It will be apparent that the ducts 9,10 extend transversely of the flow direction of heating gases from the burner 3. In order to cause the ducts 9,10 to reverse direction, U-shaped guide pieces 15 are placed on the heat exchanger body 2; when applying the relevant casting techniques it is possible to cause the relevant changes in direction of the ducts to take place inside the actual casting, wherein the U-shaped pieces 15 are unnecessary. In the present embodiment the tap water ducts 10 and the central heating ducts 9 have the same diameter. It is not otherwise essential that this is the case; this depends of course on the relevant dimensioning of the boiler; the configuration will usually be such that the tap water ducts have a slightly smaller diameter than the central heating ducts.
An example thereof is shown in figure 2. In the embodiment shown in figure 2 the ducts 10 have a smaller dimension than the ducts 9 for heating the central heat¬ ing water. It is also pointed out here that the surface of the ducts 10 which is directed toward the protrusions 7 from which the heat transfer takes place is smaller than the corresponding surface of central heating ducts 9. This results in a larger part of the heat transferred from the flue gases being supplied to the liquid flowing inside the central heating ducts 9.
Another embodiment is shown in figure 3, wherein central heating ducts 9 and tap water ducts 10 both have a trapezium-shaped cross-section. However, adjacent trapezium shapes are herein turned relative to each other. This means that the heat-transferring surfaces of both types of duct differ only slightly from each other,- the heat-transferring surface to the tap water ducts 10 is only a little smaller than that to the central heating water ducts 9.
It will be apparent that the dimensioning of the ducts depends on the expected liquid pressure and flow rate. Thus the cross section of the tap water ducts 10 in figure 3 is much smaller however than that of the central heating water ducts 9, so that it is easier to reach a higher temperature in tap water ducts 10. With this geometry it can however be anticipated that on reaching a certain equilibrium temperature in tap water ducts 10 more heat transfer will take place to the liquid in the ducts 9. It will be apparent that it is possible to apply other duct configurations,- operation is thus possible for instance with triangular ducts, or with a combination of triangular and trapezoidal . This is a question of general dimensioning.
Finally, figure 4 shows a diagram of a heat exchang¬ er according to the invention. The zigzag-shaped ducts are here incorporated in the body of the heat exchanger 2. The tap water ducts 10 are designated with dashed lines and the central heating ducts 10 are designated with a full line. At variance with the above shown em¬ bodiments, it can be seen here that the heating ducts for heating tap water 10 extend only over a part of the full height of the heat exchanger; this is also a question of dimensioning. In contrast, ducts 9 for heating central heating water do extend over the full height of the heat exchanger.
This embodiment further differs in that a short- circuit conduit 17 is arranged in the central heating circuit. This short-circuit line 17 extends from the outlet side 12 for central heating water to the supply 11 for central heating water. A pump 18 is arranged in this short-circuit line 17, while a three-way valve 19 is arranged for controlling the water stream flowing through the short-circuit line 17. It is however very well possi¬ ble that by applying an accurate pump control of pump 18 and the use of a blocking pump 18 the three-way valve becomes unnecessary. This configuration serves for the situation in which the central heating is not in use, for instance in the summer period, and wherein a large quan¬ tity of heated tap water is required. In such a situation it is conceivable that boiling of the water present in the central heating pipes 9 occurs, which must be pre¬ vented. Use is made for this purpose of the short-circuit line 17 and the pump included therein, with which the water in the central heating circuit can be circulated without heating the room areas. The heat thus absorbed in ducts 9 is herein trans¬ ferred to the tap water in an extra heat exchanger 20, thus obtaining a sufficient effectiveness of the supplied heat .
It will be apparent that various changes can be made to the embodiments shown without falling outside the scope of the invention.
