Definitions
- the invention relates to a hot-water supply arrangement, comprising a hot-water heater, a draw-off conduit for transporting water from said hot-water heater to a draw-off point, and a thermally insulated storage vessel for storing hot-water transported from said hot-water heater, the storage vessel being connected to said draw-off conduit in the vicinity of the draw-off point.
- US-A-5072717 discloses an arrangement, in which a storage vessel installed just ahead of a draw-off point stores a small amount of water and maintains it to the temperature of a hot-water heater.
- the draw-off is opened, the water from the storage vessel is first drawn while the cooled down water which was stationary in the conduit coming from the hot-water heater refills the storage vessel.
- the conduit is cleared of cold water the storage vessel is bypassed, and its stored cold water is slowly admixed in the flow of hot water to the draw-off point.
- Patent Abstracts of Japan, vol. 007, no. 240 discloses an arrangement, in which the storage vessel is included in a bypass course of a water supplying line in maximum possible vicintity to a draw-off point, for storing hot water and merging water stored therein with water from the supply line.
- the potential costs of draw-off losses in homes are moreover further distorted by the measure of attempting to keep draw-off conduits short by placing a second hot-water heater (for instance a kitchen geyser or electric boiler) in the immediate vicinity of a draw-off point.
- a second hot-water heater for instance a kitchen geyser or electric boiler
- the placing of a second hot-water heater does of course contribute to the comfort of the user, who has to wait only a short time until hot water is available, but results in operating and investment costs which are relatively high compared with the costs of a first heating apparatus, for instance a combined apparatus placed in an attic for hot water supply and home heating.
- a hot-water supply arrangement of the type specified in the preamble, in which according to the invention the storage vessel is arranged for containing a compressible air volume and control means are provided allowing the storage vessel to draw-in hot water still present in the draw-off conduit after drawing of water from the draw-off point and allowing hot water to flow from that storage vessel to the draw-off point (5) at the start of a repeated drawing of water, and for keeping a compressible gas volume in the vessel.
- the storage vessel is provided on its underside with an outlet opening closable by means of a drilled-through non-return valve, in which drilled-through non-return valve an inlet opening is provided.
- the inlet opening preferably has a smaller diameter than the outlet opening.
- the storage vessel is more preferably provided with a pressure-independent flow limiter employed as outflow limiter.
- draw-off conduit is according to the invention connected to the storage vessel via a thermally insulating conduit piece.
- the storage vessel is a stainless steel vacuum bottle.
- the storage vessel is preferably provided with a heating element.
- control means are chosen such that the storage of water from the draw-off conduit in the storage vessel takes place at a flow rate which is so low that the burner of the geyser connected to that draw-off conduit is not activated, and the geyser thus supplies cold water to the draw-off conduit.
- the hot-water heater comprises a supply tank, for instance in an electric boiler or a gas boiler, below a determined water pressure in the draw-off conduit this draw-off conduit is connected to the supply tank by means of a switching device placed in the vicinity of the supply tank, and above this determined water pressure the draw-off conduit is connected to a cold water conduit.
- the switching device comprises a cylinder with an axial inlet opening to the cold water conduit, a lateral inlet opening to a conduit to the supply tank, a lateral outlet opening to the draw-off conduit and a slide displaceable in this cylinder, wherein the lateral outlet opening is placed closer to the axial inlet opening than the lateral inlet opening and, subject to the pressure in the draw-off conduit, the slide takes up a rest position between the lateral outlet opening and the lateral inlet opening, wherein the draw-off conduit is connected to the cold water conduit, or takes up an operating position between the lateral outlet opening and the axial inlet opening, wherein the draw-off conduit is connected to the supply tank.
- Fig. 1 shows a geyser 1 (for instance in the attic of a house above a bathroom), which is connected via a short draw-off conduit 2 to a first draw-off tap 3 (for instance in that bathroom), and which via a long draw-off conduit 4 is connected to a second tap 5 (for instance in the kitchen of the house).
- a reversed vacuum bottle 6 connected to draw-off conduit 4 by means of a conduit piece 41 is placed in the vicinity of the second draw-off tap 5, with outer bottle 7, vacuum chamber 8 and inner bottle 9, the opening 10 of which is closed by a drilled-through non-return valve 11.
- Vacuum bottle 6 provides a saving of draw-off losses in draw-off conduit 4 in the following manner.
- the vacuum bottle 6 is filled for about 70% with hot water (level II). Situated above the water level is a compressed volume of air which is maintained by the continuous degassing of freshly supplied water.
- draw-off tap 5 When draw-off tap 5 is opened the pressure in draw-off conduit 4 falls to about 10% of its original value, as a result of which hot water is pressed by the compressed air out of vacuum bottle 6 into draw-off conduit 4, where it mixes with the cold water present in this conduit 4. Mixed hot water thus flows from draw-off tap 5 immediately after opening.
- the volume of vacuum bottle 6 is chosen such that the quantity of hot water stored therein is just sufficient for mixing with the quantity of cold water in draw-off conduit 4.
- a draw-off conduit 4 provided with a vacuum bottle 6 provides the advantage that hot water flows therefrom immediately the tap 5 is opened, which results in a saving of both water and energy relative to draw-off conduits without vacuum bottle.
- FIG. 2 shows in more detail the stainless steel vacuum bottle 6 of fig. 1 with the downward directed opening.
- Vacuum bottle 6 can withstand a pressure of 8 bar, the highest occurring pressure in draw-off conduit 4.
- the opening is closed by means of a plug 14 which is sealed with an O-ring 13 and in which is formed an outlet opening 15 which is closed by a non-return valve 11, in which an inlet opening 16 is drilled, wherein the diameter of inlet opening 16 is smaller than that of outlet opening 15.
- a cleaning pin 17 Arranged in inlet opening 16 is a cleaning pin 17 which is freely movable over determined distances.
- vacuum bottle 6 is connected using a coupling nut 20 to the conduit piece 41 to draw-off conduit 4 via a conduit piece 19 of a thermally insulating plastic material sealed with O-ring 18.
- a pressure-independent flow limiter 21 which provides a constant outflow speed, irrespective of the pressure in vacuum bottle 6.
- the figure further shows a low-voltage heating element 22 arranged in plug 14, using which element a quantity of water in vacuum bottle 6 can be kept at the correct temperature, also in the case of prolonged storage of this quantity.
- Fig. 3 shows a boiler 23 with heating element 24 (for instance in the attic of a house above a bathroom), which is connected via a short draw-off conduit 2 to a first draw-off tap 3 (for instance in that bathroom), and which is connected via a long draw-off tap 26 to a second draw-off tap 5 (for instance in the kitchen of the house).
- a reversed vacuum bottle 6 connected onto draw-off conduit 4 is placed in the vicinity of second draw-off tap 5.
- Other than draw-off conduit 4 of a geyser 1 (fig.
- the draw-off conduit 26 for a boiler 24 heated electrically or with gas is connected to a switching valve 27 which connects draw-off conduit 26, subject to the pressure therein, to a conduit 28 to boiler 24 or cold water conduit 23.
- the operation of vacuum bottle 6 is set forth above in the elucidation of fig. 1, and will only be repeated insofar as necessary for a good understanding.
- draw-off tap 5 is opened the pressure in draw-off conduit 4 falls, as a result of which hot water is pressed by the compressed air out of vacuum bottle 6 into draw-off conduit 26, where it mixes with the cold water present in this conduit 26, and as a result of which the draw-off conduit 26 is connected to boiler 24 by switching valve 27.
- Fig. 4 shows the switching valve of fig. 3 in more detail in a rest position, wherein the draw-off tap 5 is closed and the water in conduits 28, 26 and 23 has come to a standstill.
- Switching valve 27 comprises a cylindrical housing 29 with an axial inlet opening 30 to cold water conduit 23, a lateral inlet opening 31 to boiler conduit 28, a lateral outlet opening 32 to draw-off conduit 26 and a slide 34 displaceable in this cylinder 27, wherein the lateral outlet opening 32 is placed closer to the axial inlet opening 30 than the lateral inlet opening 31 and, depending on the pressure in draw-off conduit 26, the slide 34 takes up a rest position between the lateral outlet opening 32 and the lateral inlet opening 31, wherein draw-off conduit 26 is connected to cold water conduit 23, or takes up an operating position between the lateral outlet opening 26 and the axial inlet opening 30, wherein draw-off conduit 26 is connected to boiler conduit 28, and thus to boiler 24.
- the switching takes place by means of a piston 35 which is connected to slide 34 and enclosed under pre-pressure of a spiral spring 33. If a pressure difference occurs over piston 35, it moves to the right counter to the pressure of spring 33, as a result of which the slide 34 closes the cold water conduit 23 and leaves clear the connection between boiler conduit 28 and tap water conduit 26.
- the pressure difference occurs as a result of a small constriction 36 in outlet opening 32.
- the full pressure of cold water conduit 23 is always on the left-hand side of piston 35, this pressure being admitted via a first internal channel 37, and the (variable) pressure of tap water conduit 26, which is admitted via a second internal channel 38, is always on the right-hand side of piston 35.
