Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally relates to gas-fired heating apparatus and, more particularly, an improvement to the water circuit of a wall-mounted gas-fired boiler for combined room heating and domestic hot water service.
- As known, the water circuit of wall-mounted gas-fired boilers for combined service generally comprises a primary circuit connected to the room heating units in which hot water for room heating is circulated and a secondary circuit for the production of hot water for domestic use.
- The secondary circuit is usually connected to a water supply pipe which is branched off from the water mains.
- Before putting the boiler into operation, the water circuit and the room heating units connected thereto through pipes must be filled with water in order to test the boiler and to permit it to be operated.
- For this purpose, the water circuit is generally provided with water filling means.
- In a conventional boiler, the water filling means is generally formed of a pipe branched off from the secondary circuit and connected to the primary circuit of the boiler. A manually operated ON-OFF valve is provided in this pipe which when in open position permits the primary circuit to be filled with water and when in closed position disconnects the primary circuit from the secondary circuit.
- The provision of this pipe with ON-OFF valve makes the water circuit rather complex also for the difficult accessibility of the ON-OFF valve.
- Therefore, the present invention is aimed at providing a wall-mounted gas-fired boiler for combined service in which the water circuit comprises water filling means capable of offering better accessibility and less maintenance with lower costs than those of conventional water filling means which are known in the art.
- More in particular, the water circuit of the wall-mounted gas-fired boiler for combined service includes a primary circuit in which the hot water for room heating is circulated and a secondary circuit in which hot water for domestic use is circulated and is characterized in that it comprises a three-way valve arranged so as to connect the primary circuit or the secondary circuit to the water mains or to disconnect both therefrom.
- According to a feature of the present invention, the three-way valve in its first position disconnects the primary circuit and the secondary circuit from the water mains, in its second position connects the room heating primary circuit to the water mains in order to permit it to be filled with water and in its third position connects the secondary circuit to the water mains.
- Of course, during boiler operation, the three-way valve is set in its third position, i.e. with the secondary circuit connected to the water mains.
- The features and advantages of the present invention will be clearly understood from the following detailed description together with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Fig. 1 diagrammatically shows a conventional water circuit of a wall-mounted gas-fired boiler for combined service,
- Fig. 2 diagrammatically shows the wall-mounted gas-fired boiler for combined service according to the present invention,
- Fig. 3 is a front elevation view of the fittings assembly of the boiler illustrated in Figure 2, and
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the three-way valve used in the water circuit of the wall-mounted gas-fired boiler for combined service illustrated in Figure 2.
-
- For the sake of semplicity, in the following description all the parts corresponding in form and/or function are designated by the same reference numerals.
- In Figure 1 there is generally indicated by 10 the water circuit of a combined service wall-mounted gas-fired boiler according to a well-known configuration.
- The water circuit of the boiler comprises a
primary circuit 11 in which hot water for room heating is circulated and asecondary circuit 12 in which hot water for domestic use is circulated. - The
primary circuit 11 comprises aprimary heat exchanger 13, a differential pressure operated three-way change-overvalve 14, a pressure-surge reducing valve 15, a by-pass pipe 16 with its relevant by-pass valve 17, acirculation pump 18 provided with an air separator, a spring-loadedsafety valve 19 which is set at the maximum overpressure of the primary circuit, anexpansion tank 20, a water supply pipe M and a water return pipe R for the room heating units, for example radiators. - Located under the
primary heat exchanger 13 are agas burner 21 connected to agas supply pipe 20 through an ON-OFF valve 22 and a modulatingvalve 23. - The
secondary circuit 12 comprises asecondary heat exchanger 24, a domesticwater flow limiter 26, a domestic water inlet pipe E and outlet pipe U. The domestic water inlet pipe E is connected to the water mains D through an ON-OFF valve 27. - The domestic water is prepared in the
secondary heat exchanger 24. When the user demands domestic hot water, the hot water which has been heated in theprimary heat exchanger 13 is diverted by the three-way change-overvalve 14 into apipe 28 connected to thesecondary heat exchanger 24 so as to flow therethrough and heat the domestic water. Then the hot water returns to theprimary circuit 11 on the suction side of thecirculation pump 18 and upstream theexpansion tank 20. Acheck valve 29 is suitably provided in thepipe 28. - In Fig. 1 there is also shown the water filling means for filling the
primary circuit 11 and the room heating units connected thereto through the pipes M,R. The water filling means comprises apipe 30 which is branched off from thesecondary circuit 12 and is connected to theprimary circuit 11. Acheck valve 25 and a manually operable ON-OFF valve 31 are provided in thepipe 30. The ON-OFF valve 31 in open position permits theprimary circuit 11 to be filled with water and in closed position disconnects theprimary circuit 11 from thesecondary circuit 12. - Referring now to Fig. 2, there is shown the water circuit of the combined service wall-mounted gas-fired boiler according to the present invention. As can be seen, the water circuit is different from that shown in Figure 1 in that the water filling means of the
primary circuit 11 comprises only a three-way valve 32. The three-way valve 32 is connected to the water mains D, to the domestic water inlet pipe E and to the water return pipe R from the room heating units. Thecheck valve 25 is located between the three-way valve 32 and the return pipe R. The valve member of the three-way valve 32 can take three operative positions, namely: a first position in which it disconnects both theprimary circuit 11 and thesecondary circuit 12 from the water mains D, a second position in which it connects theprimary circuit 11 only to the water mains D and a third position in which it connects thesecondary circuit 12 only to the water mains D. - As can be seen in Fig. 3 of the drawings, the three-
way valve 32 is arranged on a connection plate P of the boiler support frame T. The connection plate P usually serves as a lower transverse member of the boiler support frame T of the kind described herein and it embodies the various fittings of the water circuit. - Apart from the three-
way valve 32, the supply andreturn pipe fittings 33, 34 for circulating the room heating water, the domestic water outlet fitting 35 and the gas inlet fitting 36 are mounted onto the connection plate P. - The three-
way valve 32 is connected to the heating water return fitting by means of aconnection pipe 37. - Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the three-
way valve 32. There can be seen theattachments way valve 32. - The advantage of using a three-
way valve 32 as a water filling means for filling the boiler water circuit instead of the well-known water filling means can be clearly understood by comparing the water circuits shown in Figures 1 and 2. As a matter of fact, it can be noted that the water circuit of the invention has a smaller number of components since the three-way valve 32 undertakes the functions of the ON-OFF valves pipe 30 that connects theprimary circuit 11 to thesecondary circuit 12 of the boiler so that these components become unnecessary. Therefore, the water circuit of the boiler according to the present invention has a more rational configuration and is less expensive to manufacture. Further, also filling operations of the water circuit are more simple to perform because the operator has to maneuver one valve only.
