Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Durchlaufgerät mit kleinem Volumen zur Trinkwassererwärmung, insbesondere für den Einbau in und für die Verschaltung mit Gasdurchlauferhitzern, gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a flow device with a small volume for DHW heating, especially for installation in and for the connection with gas flow heaters, according to the generic term of claim 1.

Durchlaufgeräte der genannten Art sind bspw. nach der WO-A-92/11501 bekannt, und zwar in Form von Plattenwärmetauschern mit einer Ausbildung dahingehend, daß zwei oder mehr einzelne solcher Plattenwärmetauscher zwecks Vergrößerung der Wärmetauschfläche unmittelbar zusammengekoppelt werden können. Bekannt ist auch, derartige Durchlaufgeräte mit Gasdurchlauferhitzern (siehe bspw. EP-A-0427121 A2) zu kombinieren bzw. hydraulisch zu verschalten. Nachteilig ist bei solchen Kombiwasserheizern, an denen in der Regel auch noch ein Heizungskreis angeschlossen ist, daß nach dem Zapfen der im relativ kleinen Volumen gespeicherten Trinkwassermenge ein spürbares "Durchsacken" der Warmwasserauslauftemperatur zu beobachten ist, d.h., bei bestimmten Betriebszuständen (bspw. gleitende Betriebsweise - Sommerbetrieb) steht bei Zapfbeginn nicht die zur komfortablen Brauchwassererwärmung erforderliche Heizwassertemperatur zur Verfügung.Continuous flow devices of the type mentioned are, for example, according to WO-A-92/11501 known, in the form of plate heat exchangers with an education that two or more individual such plate heat exchanger for the purpose of enlarging the heat exchange surface can be directly coupled together. It is also known to use such flow devices with gas flow heaters (see for example EP-A-0427121 A2) to combine or to connect hydraulically. A disadvantage of such Combi water heaters, which usually also have a Heating circuit is connected that after the tenon in relatively small volume of stored drinking water noticeable "sagging" of the hot water outlet temperature is observed, i.e. in certain operating states (e.g. smooth operation - summer operation) is at the start of the tap not the one required for convenient domestic water heating Heating water temperature available.

Der Erfindung liegt demgemäß die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Durchlaufgerät zu schaffen, das diesen Nachteil nicht aufweist, d.h., ausgehend von einem Durchlaufgerät der eingangs genannten Art, soll dieses bei kompakter Bauweise dahingehend auf einfache Weise umgestaltet und verbessert werden, daß das sogenannte "Durchsacken" der Warmwasserauslauftemperatur vermieden bzw. zumindest erheblich abgemindert wird.The invention is therefore based on the object, a continuous flow device to create that does not have this disadvantage, i.e. based on a continuous flow device of the type mentioned at the beginning Kind, this should go with a compact design easily redesigned and improved that the so-called "sagging" of the hot water outlet temperature is avoided or at least considerably reduced.

Diese Aufgabe ist mit einem Durchlaufgerät der eingangs genannten Art nach der Erfindung durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 angeführten Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich nach den abhängigen Patentansprüchen 2 bis 7. This task is with a flow device of the type mentioned Kind according to the invention by the in the characteristics of Patent claim 1 listed features solved. advantageous Further developments result from the dependent claims 2 to 7.

Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung bedeutet, daß der wamwasserabströmseitige Behälterteil mit hohem Wirkungsgrad bzgl. der Wärmeübertragung und der kaltwasserzuströmseitige Behälterteil als "Speicherteil" mit geringerem Wirkungsgrad arbeitet, wobei bei grundsätzlich relativ kleinem hydraulischen Gesamtvolumen des Durchlaufgerätes der gesamte trinkwasserseitige Inhalt mit max. 3 Ltr so bemessen und verteilt ist, daß der "Speicherteil" ein größeres Trinkwasservolumen aufzunehmen vermag als der warmwasserabströmseitige Behälterteil. Diese Aufteilung reicht dann nämlich aus, um beim Zapfen die "Totzeit" zu überbrücken, die, wie erwähnt, dann entsteht, wenn nicht die erforderliche Heizwassertemperatur sofort verfügbar ist.This inventive design means that the wastewater downstream Container part with high efficiency regarding heat transfer and the cold water inflow side of the tank works as a "storage part" with lower efficiency, being basically relatively small hydraulic Total volume of the flow device the entire drinking water side Content with max. 3 liters is measured and distributed that the "storage part" accommodate a larger volume of drinking water is capable of serving as the part of the tank downstream of the hot water. This division is then sufficient to the when tapping To bridge "dead time", which, as mentioned, then arises, if the required heating water temperature is not immediately available is.

Diese erfindungsgemäße Lösung beschränkt sich also nicht auf regelungs- und steuerungstechnische bekannte Maßnahmen zur im obigem, Sinne komfortablen Brauchwasserbereitstellung (siehe hierzu ebenfalls die EP-A-0427121 A2), sondern setzt auch durch entsprechende Gestaltung am Durchlaufgerät selbst an, d.h., von Zeit zu Zeit wird der volumenmäßig größere Speicherteil durch Wärmezufuhr auf "Bereitschaftstemperatur" gehalten.This solution according to the invention is therefore not limited to Known regulatory and control measures for im above, meaning convenient hot water supply (see also EP-A-0427121 A2), but also sets by appropriate design on the flow device itself, i.e. from time to time the larger part of the storage volume becomes kept at "standby temperature" by supplying heat.

Der höhere Wirkungsgrad im warmwasserabströmseitigen Behälterteil wird dabei zum einen durch besondere Gestaltung der Trennwände und damit Breite der Spalträume erreicht und zum anderen bevorzugt in Verbindung mit einer Gegenstromführung in diesem Behälterteil, was noch näher erläutert wird.The higher efficiency in the part of the tank on the hot water outlet side is on the one hand by special design of the Partitions and thus the width of the gap spaces reached and others preferred in connection with a countercurrent flow in this part of the container, which will be explained in more detail.

Ungeachtet der Maßgabe, daß die genannten Kalt- und Warmwasser- und ferner die Heizwasservor- und -rücklaufanschlüsse "am jeweils anderen Behälterteil" anzuordnen sind, werden alle diese Anschlüsse bevorzugt auf der gleichen Seite des Durchlaufgerätes angeordnet, um dessen Gesamtanschluß zu vereinfachen.Regardless of the proviso that the cold and hot water and also the heating water supply and return connections are to be arranged "on the other part of the container", all these connectors are preferred on the same side of the Flow device arranged to simplify its overall connection.

Das erfindungsgemäße Durchlaufgerät und seine vorteilhaften Ausführungsformen und bevorzugten Weiterbildungen werden nachfolgend an Hand der zeichnerischen Darstellung von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. The flow device according to the invention and its advantageous Embodiments and preferred further developments are below based on the graphic representation of exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.

In den Fig. 1 bis 5 sind sämtliche, sich entsprechende Elemente mit sich entsprechenden Bezugszeichen bezeichnet, d.h., der Behälter mit 1, dessen diesen gliedernde Behälterteile mit 1', 1" der Kaltwasserzulaufanschluß mit 2, der Warmwasserablaufanschluß mit 3 und die Heizwasservor- und - rücklaufanschlüsse mit 4 und 5.1 to 5 are all corresponding elements designated with corresponding reference symbols, i.e. the container with 1, the container parts dividing them with 1 ', 1 "the cold water inlet connection with 2, the hot water outlet connection with 3 and the heating water supply and - return connections with 4 and 5.

Außerdem sind in Fig. 5 ein Wärmeerzeuger (Gasdurchlauferhitzer) mit WE, der an diesen angeschlossene Heizkreis mit HK und das zu einer kompakt bauenden Baueinheit aus den beiden Behälterteilen 1', 1'' zusazumengefaßte Durchlaufgerät mit DG.In addition, in Fig. 5 are a heat generator (gas heater) with WE, the heating circuit connected to this with HK and that to a compact unit from the two Container parts 1 ', 1' 'continuous flow device with DG.

Für alle dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele ist nun, abgesehen von den dargestellten und unterschiedlichen Verschaltungsmöglichkeiten, wesentlich, daß der warmwasserabström seitige Behälterteil 1' des Behälters 1 mit einem kleineren Volumen bemessen ist als der kaltwasserzuströmseitige Behälterteil 1'' des Behälters 1, daß die Kaltwasserzulauf- und Warmwasserablaufanschlüsse 2,3 und die Heizwasservor- und -rücklaufanschlüsse 4,5 am jeweils anderen Behälterteil 1',1'' angeordnet sind, wobei die im kleineren Behälterteil 1' angeordneten Trennwände 6, flächendifferentiell gesehen, einen in Bezug auf die Trennwände 6 im anderen Behälterteil 1'' größeren Wärmeübergang aufweisen, und daß die Spalträume 7,8 jeweils untereinander derart verbunden sind, daß in den Behälterteilen 1',1' eine Gleichstrom- und/oder Gegenstromverschaltung bezüglich der beiden Durchströmmedien vorliegt.For all of the exemplary embodiments shown, it is now essential, apart from the different and illustrated connection options, that the hot water outflow-side container part 1 'of the container 1 is dimensioned with a smaller volume than the cold water inflow-side container part 1''of the container 1 that the cold water inlet and hot water outlet connections 2, 3 and the heating water supply and return connections 4, 5 are arranged on the other container part 1 ', 1'', the partition walls 6 arranged in the smaller container part 1', viewed in different areas, one with respect to the partition walls 6 in the other container part 1 '' have greater heat transfer, and that the gap spaces 7, 8 are each connected to one another in such a way that in the container parts 1 ', 1' there is a direct current and / or countercurrent connection with respect to the two flow media.

Wesentlich ist dabei auch, daß unter Inkaufnahme eines höheren Druckverlustes die Trennwände 6 im kleineren Behälterteil, flächendifferentiell gesehen, einen größeren Wärmeübergang aufweisen als die im größeren Behälterteil 1''.It is also essential that a higher Pressure loss the partitions 6 in the smaller container part, seen in terms of area differential, a greater heat transfer have than in the larger container part 1 ''.

In der schematischen Darstellung gemäß Fig. 1 sind die Trennwände 6 lediglich aus Übersichtsgründen extrem distanziert zueinander dargestellt, d.h., die die Spalträume 7, 8 begrenzenden Trennwände 6 haben eine Distanz in der Größenordnung von nur ca. 2-10 mm, wobei die Spalträume 7, 8 im Gegensatz zur Darstellung in Fig. 1 im Behälterteil 1' enger gehalten sind als im anderen Behälterteil 1''. Außerdem hat man sich die Spalträume 7, 8 einschließlich der Umlenkkammer 9 nach außen natürlich abgeschlossen vorzustellen, wie sich dies aus Fig. 4 ergibt.1 are the partitions 6 extremely distant only for reasons of clarity to each other, i.e., which limit the gap spaces 7, 8 Partitions 6 have a distance of the order of magnitude of only approx. 2-10 mm, with the gap spaces 7, 8 in contrast 1 shown in the container part 1 'held closer are 1 '' in the other part of the container. In addition, you have the gap spaces 7, 8 including the deflection chamber 9 after outside of course to imagine how this turns out Fig. 4 results.

Die Heizwasserführung ist dabei strichpunktiert und die Trinkwasserführung gestrichelt und jeweils mit Richtungspfeilen verdeutlicht, wobei es sich hierbei, was aufgrund der Richtungspfeile keiner näheren Erläuterung bedarf, um die bevorzugte Verschaltung der Spalträume 7, 8 handelt, nämlich Gleichstrom im Behälterteil 1'' und Gegenstrom im Behälterteil 1'. The heating water supply is dash-dotted and the The drinking water supply is dashed and each with directional arrows illustrates, which is what due to the Directional arrows require no further explanation in order to preferred interconnection of the gap spaces 7, 8, namely Direct current in the container part 1 '' and counter current in the container part 1'.

Beim Verschaltungsschema nach Fig. 2 sind der Heizungsrücklauf HR und der Kaltwasserzulauf KW auf der gleichen Seite wie der Heizungsvorlauf HV und der Warmwasserablauf am Durchlaufgerät angeordnet, um, wie einleitend vorerwähnt, bequemere Anschlußmöglichkeiten zu erhalten. Beim Verschaltungsschema nach Fig. 1 bleibend, wäre es aber auch möglich, ggf. unter Zwischenschaltung einer weiteren Umlenkkammer, den Behälterteil 1'' gewissermaßen um 180° zu knicken, um damit die Anschlüsse 2 und 5 auf die gleiche Seite zu bringen wie die Anschlüsse 3 und 4.2 are the heating return HR and the cold water inlet KW on the same side such as the heating flow HV and the hot water drain on the flow device arranged to, as mentioned in the introduction, more convenient To get connectivity. With the wiring diagram 1, it would also be possible, if necessary with the interposition of a further deflection chamber, the container part 1 '' to a certain extent by 180 ° so that the Bring connections 2 and 5 on the same side as the Connections 3 and 4.

Abgesehen davon, daß die Spalträume 7 oder 8 auch durch einzeln vorgefertigte, an sich bekannte Taschen T (siehe Fig. 3 A) verwirklicht werden können, zwischen denen sich die jeweils anderen Spalträume befinden (Über- bzw. Durchströmkanäle 6'' sind in Fig. 3 A nicht dargestellt), kann auch eine Ausführungsform des Durchlaufgerätes gemäß Fig. 3 vorgesehen werden, wonach die Trennwände 6 in Form von Schalen 6' mit ausgehalsten, die Spalträume 7, 8 durchgreifenden Überströmkanälen 6" und dazu fluchtenden Einstecköffnungen 6''' in der jeweils benachbarten Trennwand 6 ausgebildet und diese Trennwände 6 mit ihren Schalenrändern 10 zusammengestapelt an allen Stoßstellen 13 miteinander flüssigkeitsdicht (bspw. durch Verlöten) verbunden sind.Apart from the fact that the gap spaces 7 or 8 also by individually prefabricated, known bags T (see FIG. 3 A) can be realized, between which the each other gaps (overflow or throughflow channels 6 '' are not shown in Fig. 3 A), can also Embodiment of the flow device according to FIG. 3 is provided be, after which the partitions 6 in the form of shells 6 ' endured, the gap spaces 7, 8 through overflow channels 6 "and aligned insertion openings 6 '' 'in the each adjacent partition 6 formed and these partitions 6 with their shell edges 10 stacked together at all Butt joints 13 are liquid-tight with each other (e.g. through Soldering) are connected.

Für die Trennwände 6 bzw. die Ausbildung des ganzen Durchlaufgerätes werden jedoch Trennwände 6 gemäß Fig. 3 B bevorzugt, die an sich bekannt sind, mit Rücksicht auf kompakte Bauweise und die engen Einbauverhältnisse in einem Gasdurchlauferhitzer hier-aber besondere Bedeutung erhalten. Hiernach sind die Trennwände 6 ebenfalls in Form von Schalen 6' ausgebildet und mit im Bereich ihrer Überströmöffnungen 10 mit prägungsfreien, jeweils entgegengesetzt gerichtet ausgeprägten Anschlußflächen 11 versehen, wobei dann auch hier alle Stoßstellen 13 miteinander flüssigkeitsdicht verbunden sind. Diese Lötverbindung erfolgt hierbei auf besondere Art in der Weise, daß zwischen den Schalen 6' aus bspw. dünnem Edelstahlblech formentsprechende Schalen aus dünner "Lötfolie", wie Cu-Folie (nicht dargestellt) eingelegt sind, wobei dann der ganze Schalenstapel hoch erhitzt wird und dabei die Cu-Folien zum Schmelzen gebracht werden.For the partitions 6 or the formation of the entire flow device however, partition walls 6 according to FIG. 3B are preferred, which are known per se with regard to compact Construction and the tight installation conditions in a gas water heater here-but get special meaning. hereafter the partitions 6 are also in the form of shells 6 ' and with in the area of their overflow openings 10 embossed, each oppositely pronounced Provide pads 11, then all here Butt joints 13 connected to each other in a liquid-tight manner are. This solder connection is made in a special way in such a way that between the shells 6 'of thin Stainless steel sheet conforming shells made of thin "solder foil", like copper foil (not shown) are inserted, whereby then the whole stack of dishes is heated up and the Cu foils are melted.

Unter nochmaligen Verweis auf das Verschaltungsschema nach Fig. 2 besteht natürlich auch die Möglichkeit, derartige Schalen 6' bzw. Trennwände 6 so zu gestalten, daß diese, dort wo es notwendig ist, oben und unten jeweils drei Überströmöffnungen aufweisen.With another reference to the wiring diagram Fig. 2 is of course also possible Shells 6 'or partitions 6 to be designed so that there where necessary, three overflow openings at the top and bottom exhibit.

Was die Maßgabe betrifft, daß die Trennwände 6 im kleineren Behälterteil 1' einen größeren Wärmeübergang haben als die im größeren Behälterteil 1'', so ist dies, abgesehen von möglichen Materialwahl mit größerer Wärmeleitfähigkeit bevorzugt dadurch verwirklicht, daß mindestens die im Behälterteil 1' angeordneten Trennwände 6 mit die Wärmetauschflächen vergrössernden Prägungen, wie Rippen-, Kreuzrippen-, Noppenprägungen od. dgl. versehen sind. Da solche Prägungen an Wärmetauschern und auch ganz allgemein im Heizkesselbau bekannt sind, ist dies hier nicht besonders dargestellt. Die Maßgabe, daß solche Prägungen mindestens an den Trennwänden des Behälterteiles 1' vorgesehen sein sollen, schließt natürlich die Möglichkeit mit ein, auch die Trennwände 6 im Behälterteil 1'' mit solchen Prägungen zu versehen, die dann aber so ausgewählt und gestaltet werden, daß sich bei geringerem Wärmeübergang in diesem Teil auch ein geringerer Druckverlust ergibt. Im Ergebnis führt dies dazu, daß der Behälterteil 1' einen größeren Wirkungsgrad hat als der Behälterteil 1''.As for the proviso that the partitions 6 in the smaller Container part 1 'have a greater heat transfer than that in larger container part 1 '', this is apart from possible Choice of material with greater thermal conductivity preferred realized in that at least those in the container part 1 ' arranged partition walls 6 with the heat exchange surfaces enlarging Embossings, such as rib, cross-rib, pimples or the like are provided. Because such imprints on heat exchangers and are also generally known in boiler construction this is not particularly shown here. The proviso that such Embossing at least on the partitions of the container part 1 'should be provided, of course, closes the possibility with a, also the partitions 6 in the container part 1 '' to be embossed with such embossments, but then selected as such and be designed so that there is less heat transfer this part also results in a lower pressure drop. As a result, the container part 1 ' has a greater efficiency than the container part 1 ''.

Im Behälterteil 1' werden also bspw. Rippenprägungen (nicht besonders dargestellt) mit kleiner, zu geringerer Spaltraumbreite führenden Prägetiefe vorgesehen und im Behälterteil 1'' solche mit größerer Prägetiefe.For example, rib embossments (not particularly shown) with a small, too small gap width leading embossing depth provided and in the container part 1 '' those with greater embossing depth.
