Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an installation of production of hot water such as a boiler having a burner for gaseous or liquid fuel. It concerns more especially a condensing boiler that can be used for central heating and / or production of hot water for use domestic, tertiary, industrial or other.
  • the condensing boilers have been developed for recover a maximum of energy from the combustion gases. Indeed, when the temperature of the flue gas goes below about 50 ° C, droplets of condensation form on the heat exchanger elements and fall by gravity towards the area bottom of the boiler. This condensation liquid is very corrosive and therefore avoid placing the burner in the bottom of the boiler for cause of rapid degradation of it.
  • This body heater may contain one or more heat exchangers capable of recovering maximum energy from the combustion gases.
  • the installation is intended to the production of multipurpose hot water such as heating central and sanitary, it is necessary to provide at least one primary circuit (heating) and at least one secondary circuit (sanitary).
  • annular tank in tank a device made according to the technical tank submerged (called “annular tank in tank”), commonly used by the applicant, gives very good results point of view of exchange and thermal efficiency, such as already explained above.
  • This technique involves immersing a reservoir cylindrical ring, which contains domestic hot water, in a second outer tank that forms the primary circuit.
  • the tubes of fumes exchange their heat in the primary circuit, which, at its tower, exchange, at lower temperature, its heat with hot water Sanitary by the walls of the tank / exchanger.
  • the primary circuit is, depending on the case, be used for a heating circuit, or remain closed for a strict production of hot water.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to combine the advantages of the so-called "tank in tank” technique with the technique of condensing boilers to obtain a thermal installation able to provide central heating water as well as water Sanitary in any condition and with a close performance theoretical maximum yield.
  • the installation the present invention is distinguished in that it presents the characteristics as specified in the claims attached to the current.
  • the figure shows a schematic diagram of a device or boiler according to the invention.
  • the boiler comprises an outer casing 1, generally cylindrical, comprising a closure plate upper 2 and lower closure plate 3.
  • This combustion chamber 6 is connected with a series of flue tubes 7 that extend downwards down to the bottom closure plate 3. These tubes 7 are configured as heat exchangers, so as to absorb and distribute maximum heat from the flue gases.
  • a chamber 8 intended to recover combustion fumes and condensates which formed on the inner wall of the tubes 7.
  • the chamber 8 is provided with a pipe 9 of fumes outlet and a device 10 for recovering and discharging condensates.
  • the boiler illustrated on the drawing, is built in two parts, separated in height by a partition wall 11 so as to create an upper chamber 12 and a lower chamber 13; these rooms having temperatures different operating conditions.
  • the upper room 12 works high temperature and has a large volume of water
  • the lower chamber 13 is operated at low temperature in the condensation zone.
  • the return water from the heating system enters into general with a temperature of about 30 ° C by the inlet 16 of the lower chamber 13 and is warmed by a few degrees before to exit either by the exit 17 towards the valve 19, or by the device 23 of the partition 11 in the upper room 12.
  • this room upper 12 the water is heated between 60 and 90 ° C before going out via the valve 19, where it is mixed with water at about 32 ° C from the ducting 18 for the heating start which requires about 50 ° C. It is understandable, therefore, that the water in the upper chamber 12 will be constantly maintained at temperatures between 60 ° and 80 ° C while the temperature of the lower chamber 13 will be maintained within a range of a few degrees above the heating return temperature.
  • each of these chambers 12, 13 there is available in each of these chambers 12, 13 a tank / exchanger or an internal exchanger, completely immersed in their respective rooms. So, we has in the upper chamber 12 a tank / exchanger 14 annular and coaxial with respect to all the flue tubes 7 and to the outer cylindrical shell 1.
  • This tank / exchanger 15 is also annular and coaxial with respect to all the flue tubes 7 and to the outer cylindrical shell 1.
  • the temperature of the upper chamber 12 is maintained at a homogeneous temperature, possibly thanks to a loop of primary circulation.
  • both chambers 12, 13 are irrigated by different water flows thanks to the action of the three-way valve 19; the flow is maximum in the part lower to promote condensation and limit the increase of temperature.
  • the flow rate in the upper chamber 12 is defined by the position of the three way valve 19.
  • the smoke circuit includes only one passage through the tubes 7, which simplifies the construction and reduces the bulk.
  • the upper part with the chamber 12 is kept at a homogeneous temperature greater than 60 ° C by means of a regulation acting on the three - way valve 19.
  • the volume of the lower chamber 13 (low temperature) is limited, which reduces the inertia during transition from a mode of operation at high temperature to a mode operating at low temperature.
  • the hot water installation according to the invention manages to solve the problems posed and propose a multipurpose boiler, combining the advantages following: condensation in heating mode and in hot water mode sanitary, storage of sanitary water at high temperature (> 60 ° C) integrated, high production of domestic hot water.
  • condensation regime is reached as well in heating only in sanitary mode but also in operation mixed (sanitary + heating).
  • Heating operation at very low temperature becomes possible while maintaining hot water storage Sanitary very high temperature.
  • the boiler according to the invention therefore comprises two primary circuits operated at different temperatures.
  • the part superior works at high temperature and includes a tank / exchanger for the production of domestic hot water.
  • the burner is placed at the top of the boiler and the flow of smoke is vertically from top to bottom in an exchanger which crosses the two primary circuits.
  • the water flows in each of the primary circuits are regulated according to the desired flow temperature.
