Definitions

  • the object of the invention consists in an instant electric water heater, of reduced dimensions, for both domestic and industrial use, maximally optimizing its yield with a minimum energy consumption and continuous hot water flow, without temperature or flow losses occurring.
  • Electric water heaters usually contain a large volume of water which must remain enclosed, ready for use, in a relatively isolated deposit, with the subsequent expense for maintaining the temperature of that large water mass.
  • the hot water is limited over time, since once the hot water stored in the deposit is consumed, the heater is not able to heat water at the rhythm of consumption, therefore the water temperature abruptly drops, with the corresponding inconveniences and discomforts.
  • the present invention is an instant water heater of continuous cyclic rate and reduced dimensions, it is very useful for preventing the previous drawbacks and for replacing large boilers, normally gas and potentially dangerous boilers, supplying hot water for consumption, and at the same time, acting as a hot water supply for heating units.
  • Heating of the water is carried out by means of an electric heater group with a fork shape or the like, submerged in a heat-transfer oil, or a similar fluid, which is kept hot and at a constant temperature due to the effect of the heater, this heat-transfer oil being of a minimum volume.
  • the water to be heated circulates through two shunted coils surrounding the heater group, also being submerged in the heat-transfer oil.
  • This heater-coil-heat-transfer oil assembly is housed in a suitably sealed and pressurized internal deposit.
  • the two shunted coils are provided with a single common external water inlet, whereas the outlet of each coil is independent, which outlet is arranged outside the internal deposit, on which a second deposit, also sealed and of reduced dimensions to prevent thermal inertia, has been installed; both water outlets of the coils are mixed in this external deposit and are homogenized until their outlet, as hot water, through a hole made in the external deposit.
  • a hollow bushing incorporating a stopper and which keeps the two deposits equidistant passes through the two deposits, at the same time allowing the filing of the heat-transfer oil and pressurizing of the internal deposit.
  • the hot water outlet of the external deposit together with a direct cold water inlet like the one entering the heater to the coils, are collected by a thermostatic valve, which regulates the final water outlet temperature, thus always keeping it uniform.
  • thermostatic valve The outlet of this thermostatic valve is connected in tandem to a pressure switch which, taking the temperature data collected by a probe installed inside the internal deposit as a reference, will provide the corresponding connection or disconnection instructions to the heater group.
  • An insulating layer surrounding the external deposit has been arranged to prevent the system from losing heat to the outside.
  • Figure 1 shows the most important components of the instant electric water heater: an external deposit (1), an internal deposit (2) housing a heater group (3) surrounded by two shunted coils (4, 5), an external water inlet (6) common to both coils reaching them and passing through the walls of both deposits (1, 2).
  • the external deposit (1) is provided with a hot water outlet (7) connected, together with a cold water conduit (19), to a thermostat (14) in tandem with a pressure switch (15) connected to a probe (16) measuring the temperature of the heat-transfer oil of the internal deposit (1) .
  • FIG. 2 shows the circulation of water in the heater.
  • the water to be heated circulates through two coils (4, 5) surrounding an electric heater group (3) of those having a fork shape or the like.
  • Both the electric heater group (3) and the coils (4, 5) surrounding it are submerged in a heat-transfer oil or similar fluid which is kept hot and at a constant temperature due to the action of the electric heater group (3), this fluid being of a minimum volume; all this housed in a suitably sealed and pressurized internal deposit (2) .
  • a temperature measuring probe (16) is installed in the internal deposit (2) to control the temperature of the heat-transfer oil.
  • the two coils (4, 5) are arranged in shunt with a single external cold water inlet (6), which is shared between the two coils, and two independent water outlets (20); this allowing minimization of losses of pressure and flow to the outside of the internal deposit (2).
  • the internal deposit (2) is surrounded by a sealed external deposit (1) of reduced dimensions to prevent thermal inertia, and it is where the two exiting water flows of the internal deposit are mixed and homogenized, and where the water continues to be heated since it is in contact with the walls of the internal deposit (2), which is hot because it contains the heat-transfer fluid heated by the heater group (3).
  • the external deposit (1) is provided with a hole with a water outlet (7) through which the heated water is evacuated.
  • the cold water inlet (13) going into the heater splits into two channels, the first channel is the water inlet (6) to the coils (4, 5) and the second channel is a conduit (19), the opposite end of which ends, together with the hot water outlet (7) of the external deposit (1), in a thermostatic valve (14), where both hot and cold water currents are mixed, and where the temperature of the outlet water is finally regulated, thus always keeping it at a uniform temperature.
  • the thermostatic valve (14) outlet is connected in tandem with a pressure switch (15) which is connected to the probe (16) for measuring the temperature of the heat-transfer oil of the internal deposit (2).
  • the pressure switch (15) will connect or disconnect the heater group (3) according to the data of the heat-transfer oil temperature collected by the probe (16).
  • the suitably heated water After passing through the pressure switch, the suitably heated water passes to the network or is directly used.
  • a hollow bushing (8) incorporating a stopper (9) passes through the two external (1) and internal (2) deposits, and keeps the two deposits (1, 2) equidistant, at the same time allowing the filling of fluid and pressurizing of the internal deposit (2).
  • the two deposits (1, 2) share a common base (17) which the support base (18) of the heater group (3) is coupled to by means of nuts (11) and screws (10).
  • An insulating layer (12) surrounding the external deposit has been arranged to prevent the assembly from losing heat to the exterior.
