Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an instantaneous heat exchanger for a boiler of a combined type, i.e., a boiler designed to produce both hot water for a plant for heating an environment and hot water for sanitary purposes.
  • the invention likewise relates to a boiler of a combined type using such an instantaneous heat exchanger.
  • the invention finds particular application in the case of boilers of a combined type that comprise:
  • the main heat exchanger which is usually of the type using a gas burner, brings about heating of the primary fluid which, via the pump, is made to circulate in the heating plant in order to supply a plurality of radiators located in a domestic environment.
  • a deviator device such as a three-way valve, enables circulation of the primary fluid only in the plant for heating the environment.
  • the deviator device directs, in all or in part, the primary fluid into the aforesaid auxiliary branch of the primary circuit, and then towards the auxiliary heat exchanger.
  • the auxiliary heat exchanger can carry out heating of the sanitary water by virtue of the fact that the heat of the fluid of the heating plant is transferred to said water.
  • the deviator device returns to its original position, so that the primary fluid returns to circulate only in the heating plant.
  • the means for deviating the primary fluid towards the auxiliary heat exchanger comprise, instead of a three-way valve, a second pump with respective valve.
  • Boilers of a combined type should ideally be able to guarantee an immediate production of hot sanitary water, be constructionally simple and inexpensive, and above all have small overall dimensions.
  • auxiliary heat exchangers of the plate type are used.
  • Said heat exchangers are basically constituted by a plurality of metal plates, packed together so as to define a certain number of parallel cavities.
  • the cavities are connected in alternating series so that, for example, the primary fluid circulates in the cavities of even number and the secondary fluid circulates in the cavities of odd number.
  • one of the two fluids can thus exchange heat with the other, through both of the plates that delimit the cavity itself.
  • the plate structure enables instantaneous heat exchangers to be obtained that are very compact and are provided with good characteristics of heat exchange.
  • plate-type heat exchangers for combined boilers have in effect become standardized components produced on a large scale, with evident advantages in terms of reduction of costs.
  • the plate-type heat exchangers currently used on compact combined boilers present some drawbacks.
  • a first drawback is represented by the fact that plate-type heat exchangers are particularly subject to clogging, typically on account of precipitation of lime within them. Said drawback is particularly felt in the case of boilers installed in areas where the mains water is very hard.
  • Another drawback is that the volume of water that can be stored within a plate-type heat exchanger of a compact boiler is very small, never greater than one litre for each circuit. Said reduced capacity of storage has two main negative consequences from the functional standpoint:
  • boilers of a combined type having a storage tank in which a certain amount of water is maintained at a given temperature, ready for use.
  • the storage tank has the function of maintaining a certain amount of water for heating at a given temperature, to be able to release it when required, in a fast way, to a secondary heat exchanger, so that this can produce the hot sanitary water quickly.
  • the primary heat exchanger can overcome the thermal inertia and will then be able to exploit its maximum power in favour of the secondary heat exchanger.
  • the temperature of the water in the tank is usually controlled via a suitable sensor.
  • the control system of the boiler issues a command for a new heating thereof, via appropriate electrical means (such as a resistance), or else by starting the primary heat exchanger and possibly the circulation pump.
  • the storage tank has, instead, the function of maintaining a certain amount of sanitary water at a given temperature, to be able to release it in a fast way following upon a requirement for use for washing purposes.
  • the primary heat exchanger can in the meantime reach its own maximum power and thus enable a secondary heat exchanger to function at normal running conditions.
  • the temperature of the sanitary water in the tank is controlled via a suitable sensor and, if required, heated via electrical means.
  • boilers provided with storage tanks are more cumbersome, they are, however, preferred in areas with very hard mains water.
  • combined boilers with a secondary plate-type heat exchanger continue to be very much in demand on account of their compactness and their contained cost, above all in areas where the level of hardness of the mains water is relatively low. Their functional limits in terms of times of response and constancy of supply are considered acceptable for a fair share of the market.
  • boiler manufacturers are thus forced to diversify their production, this being at the expense of the standardization of production.
  • EP 1 288 588A1 discloses a two-sided header system for hydraulic circuit of wall boilers. Three-components are provided: an apparatus integrating into the centrifugal pump spiral a two-sided header and a coaxial air separator-filter wet well, a three-way valve and a plate-type exchanger header.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the aforesaid problems. Said purpose is achieved, according to the invention, by a heat exchanger for a boiler of a combined type and by a boiler of a combined type having the characteristics indicated in the annexed claims, which form an integral part of the descriptive content of the present patent application.
  • Figure 1 Partially represented in Figure 1 is a combined boiler of the type pre-arranged for installation of an auxiliary plate-type heat exchanger. It may be noted that, in said figure, as in some of the subsequent figures, only the components of the boiler useful for an understanding of the present invention are represented.

  • the delivery and return branches are provided with respective hydraulic connections, designated respectively by 4 and 5, for connection to the pipes of the aforesaid heating plant (not represented).
  • the connections 4 and 5, preferably of a threaded type, are associated to a supporting plate, designated by P, fixed to the body 2 in the rear part of the latter.
  • connections 4, 5 are in hydraulic communication with respective threaded connections 4a, 5a, between which there is to be installed a known by-pass pipe (not represented herein in so far as it is of a type and operation in themselves known).
  • the aforesaid delivery branch 4 and return branch 5 are moreover connected to one another by means of an auxiliary branch of the primary circuit, inside an auxiliary heat exchanger.
  • auxiliary branch of the primary circuit inside an auxiliary heat exchanger.
  • 6 and 7 For this purpose, from said two branches pipes are derived, designated by 6 and 7, which terminate with respective hydraulic connections 8 and 9 supported by the plate P, designed for connection with a secondary plate-type heat exchanger, designated as a whole by 10.
  • the reference numbers 11 and 12 designate two further hydraulic connections for connection with a branch, inside the heat exchanger 10, of a secondary circuit, provided for heating sanitary water.
  • the attachments 11 and 12 are connected, via respective pipes 13 and 14, to further connections, preferably of a threaded type associated to the plate P, designated by 15 and 16, for connection to the rest of the secondary circuit, or to the plant for water for domestic washing purposes.
  • the arrangement or interface for connection of the boiler 1 is of a substantially standardized type for plate-type heat exchangers.
  • Said arrangement consists basically of two connection assemblies, designated by 17 and 18, each having a respective connection 8, 9 to the stretch inside the heat exchanger 10 of the auxiliary branch of the primary circuit, as well as a respective connection 11, 12 to the stretch inside the heat exchanger 10 of the secondary circuit.
  • the axes of said connections 8, 9 and 11, 12 are parallel to one another.
  • the assemblies 17 and 18 further comprise a respective connection 4, 5 to the domestic heating plant and a respective connection 15, 16 to the plant for water for domestic sanitary purposes, said connections projecting below the plate P.
  • connections 4, 5 and 15, 16 are parallel to one another and extend perpendicularly with respect to the axes of the connections 8, 9 and 11, 12.
  • the aforesaid connections 8, 9 and 11, 12 are of the quick-change type (i.e., they are not threaded) and for this purpose are provided with seats for the partial housing of respective O-rings, designated by 19, typically having an internal diameter of 16 mm.
  • the ends of the connections 8, 9 and 11, 12 defining the seats for the O-rings 19, lie substantially on one and the same vertical plane.
  • the body of each connection assembly 17, 18 further envisages a seat 20, designed to co-operate with a respective projection of the heat exchanger 10, for the purposes of fixing the latter, via screws designated by 21.
  • the axes of the seats 20 are parallel to the axes of the connections 8, 9 and 11, 12.
  • Figure 2 shows the front plate of the heat exchanger 10 that is not visible in Figure 1 , i.e., the one that is to interface with the boiler 1.
  • the heat exchanger 10 has, in its end plate 10a, two upper holes, designated by 11a and 12a, horizontally aligned to one another, which are designed for connection with the connections 11 and 12 of the connection assemblies 17, 18.
  • the plate 12a moreover envisages two lower holes 8a, 9a, aligned underneath the holes 11a, 12a, which are designed for connection to the connections 8 and 9 of the assemblies 17 and 18. From the surface of the plate 10a there moreover project two cylindrical projections 20a, having an axial cavity provided with female thread.
  • the mechanical and hydraulic connection of the heat exchanger 10 is obtained by positioning the O-rings 19 in the respective connections 8, 9 and 11, 12, the seats of which are sized so that a portion of said rings projects at the front on the outside of the seats themselves.
  • the heat exchanger 10 is then set up against the boiler 1 so that the projections 20a of the front plate of the heat exchanger itself are inserted in the seats 20 of the assemblies 17, 18. In this way, there is also obtained rapid alignment between the holes 8a, 9a and 11a, 12a of the heat exchanger 10 with respect to the connections 8, 9 and 11, 12 of the assemblies 17 and 18.
  • the screws 21 are screwed, through the open ends of the seats 20, into the threaded holes of the projections 20a, so as to bring the heat exchanger 10 progressively up to the connection interface until the front surface of the plate 10a is brought into contact with the portions of the O-rings 19 projecting from the respective seats of the connections 8, 9 and 11, 12, with the projecting portion of each O-ring 19 that in this way comes to surround a respective hole 8a, 9a and 11a, 12a of the heat exchanger 10.
  • the further tightening of the screws 21 brings about elastic deformation of each O-ring 19 between the surface of the plate 10a and the connections 8, 9 and 11, 12 of the assemblies 17 and 18.

  • Other standardized heat exchangers envisage a distance between centres A of 42 mm and a distance between centres B of 172 mm.
  • the distance between centres of the connections 4 and 15, on the one hand, and 5 and 16 on the other, is instead typically 65 mm (said distance between centres is, for example, designated by C in Figure 11 ).
  • the reference number 23 designates a deviation device of a type in itself known, such as for example a three-way valve. As per the known art, said valve 23 is operative for deviating, if need be, the fluid for the domestic heating plant into the aforesaid auxiliary branch, and hence within the heat exchanger 10.
  • the reference number 24 designates a sensor assembly, which can include a flow meter of an ON/OFF type or else of a modulating type, provided for detecting either a very precise flow rate or a water requirement in the secondary circuit, or else a requirement of a supply of hot sanitary water.
  • the control system of the boiler 1 brings about switching of the valve 23 so as to deviate the heating fluid of the primary circuit into the secondary heat exchanger 10, as has been explained, at the same time activating the main heat exchanger 3.
  • a temperature sensor having the function of monitoring the temperature of the sanitary water present within the auxiliary heat exchanger.
  • the control system issues a command to the valve 23 to deviate the heating fluid of the primary circuit into the secondary heat exchanger 10, at the same time activating the main heat exchanger.
  • a temperature sensor is positioned in the proximity of the outlet branch 11 of sanitary water in order to control the temperature of the water and render it equal to the one required by modulation of the flame of the heat exchanger 3.

  • the plates 34a, 35a are provided with seats or holes (not visible in the figure), in which are crimped or in any case mechanically immobilized the projections 20b, which, in said embodiment, are hence configured as distinct components.
  • the two half-shells 31a, 31b can, if required, be separated from one another, by removing the screws or bolts 36, in order to dismantle the spiral tubing 33.
  • at least the two half-shells 31a, 31b can be made of aluminium or moulded plastic material, which enables good characteristics of thermal insulation for the water contained in the heat exchanger 30 to be obtained, without any need to equip the latter with specific casings or guards for thermal insulation.

Consequently, as may be appreciated from Figure 7 , the heat exchanger 30 can be installed on the boiler 1 in a simple and fast way, with modalities similar to the ones described previously with reference to the plate-type heat exchanger 10. For said purpose, after positioning of the O-rings 19 of the connections 8, 9 and 11, 12, the projections 20b can be fed into the seats 20 of the assemblies 17, 18.
  • the screws 21 are tightened through the aforesaid seats, in the threaded blind holes of the projections 20b so as to "pull" the front surfaces 34a, 35a of the portions 34, 35 of the heat exchanger 30 towards the connections 8, 9 and 11, 12.

  • Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view according to the line IX-IX of Figure 8
  • Figure 10 is an enlarged detail of Figure 9 .
  • the heat exchanger 30 is of the type with separable half-shells 31a, 31b, i.e., obtained according to Figures 5 and 6 .
  • FIG. 10 Clearly visible in Figure 10 is the portion 34, with the respective plate or front bracket 34a. As may be seen, formed in the body of the portion 34 are un upper passage, in which an end of the tubing 33 is inserted (here slightly projecting from the hole 11b), and a lower passage, which terminates in a position corresponding to the hole 8b of the plate 34. As may be noted, provided between the plate 34a and the body of the portion 34 are O-rings, designated by 34c, in positions corresponding to the holes 8b, 11b. Likewise visible in the figure are a projection 20b and the connections 8 and 11 of the assembly 17, with the respective seats in which the O-rings 19 find partial housing.
  • the projection 20b is configured as element separate from the plate 34a, with a region crimped or mechanically blocked in a respective seat provided in the plate itself; an internal region of the projection 20 is driven into the body of the portion 34.
  • a screw 21 is tightened into the threaded hole of the projection 20b, said screw 21 passing through the respective seat 20 provided in the body of the assembly 17.
  • the heat exchanger 30 according to the invention can be installed, in a simple and fast way, on the boiler 1 in place of the plate-type heat exchanger 10. This can be done in the final stages of a cycle of production of the boiler 1, or else even directly at the premises of the end user, for the purposes of replacement of the plate-type heat exchanger 10, if the latter is clogged.
  • FIG 11 illustrates the heat exchanger 30 according to the invention in the installed condition. From said figure it may be appreciated how the heat exchanger 30 finds convenient housing in the rear part of the body 2 of the boiler 1, within the latter. Moreover visible in said figure is the by-pass pipe previously mentioned, designated by 39, which extends between the connections 4a and 5a of the primary circuit.
  • Figure 6 further shows a central pipe union, which projects at the bottom from the supporting plate P. Said pipe union, designated by G, is provided for the connection of the boiler to a gas mains supply, necessary for operation of the burner of the main heat exchanger 3.
  • Operation of the heat exchanger 30 is substantially similar to that of a traditional plate-type heat exchanger 10 as regards the step of heating of the water for sanitary purposes and as regards maintenance of the latter at the desired temperature, via the deviator valve 23, the flow switch 24, and the sensor means for sensing the temperature of the boiler 1.
  • the heat exchanger 30 is conceived for obtaining a forced circulation, or a circulation in any case in a predefined direction, of the heating fluid within the chamber 32.
  • the heat exchanger is pre-arranged so that the flow of the sanitary water present in the coiled tubing 33 will come about in countercurrent, i.e., in a direction opposite to the flow of the heating fluid.
  • Said advantageous embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Figures 12-15 .
  • positioned in the chamber 32 are, in addition to the coiled tubing 33, a flow divisor 40, un upper flow deviator 41 and a lower flow deviator 42.
  • the divisor 40 is substantially configured as a wall or partition having the function of enabling circulation of the fluid in just one direction within the chamber 32, from the respective inlet 8b to the respective outlet 9b.
  • the flow deviators 41, 42 have here a basically hollow cylindrical shape, each having a closed end that opposes the direction of the flow of the fluid within the chamber 32. As may be seen in Figure 14 or Figure 15 , the deviators 41, 42 are each positioned in a respective substantially rectilinear stretch of the coil formed by the tubing 33.
  • the reference number 43 designates a device for bleeding the chamber 32, said device being of a conception in itself known.
  • the fluid coming from the primary circuit penetrates into the chamber 32 through the opening 8b.
  • the fluid is forced to traverse the chamber 32 in a unidirectional way, in the direction designated by the arrow F1 in Figure 14 .
  • the fluid encounters the upper flow deviator 41, and in particular its closed end, designated by 41 a in Figure 15 .
  • the fluid is forced to flow necessarily between the coils of the tubing 33 that wind around the body of the deviator itself.
  • heat exchange is increased in the upper part of the heat exchanger 30.
  • part of the fluid can then fill the deviator 41, entering from the open end of the latter, designated by 41b.
  • Another part of the fluid proceeds, instead, along the annular development of the chamber 32, until it encounters the lower flow deviator 42. Also in this case, the fluid encounters first the closed end of the deviator 42, designated by 42a in Figure 15 . The fluid is then forced between the coils of the tubing 33 that wind around the body of the deviator 42. In this way, heat exchange is increased in the lower part of the heat exchanger 30. In the rest of its path, the fluid then reaches the divisor 40, which, on the one hand, prevents the fluid itself from re-circulating in the heat exchanger and, on the other, causes the fluid to fill the deviator 42, entering from the open end 42b of the latter (see Figure 15 ).
  • the coiled tubing 33 is configured so that the flow of the sanitary water inside it flows in a direction opposite to that of the heating fluid, as indicated by the arrow F2 of Figure 14 .
  • the sanitary water penetrates into the tubing 33 from the inlet 12b.
  • a first stretch of the tubing 33 designated by 33c, extends within the hollow body of the lower deviator 42, then traversing the cylindrical wall thereof. The tubing then proceeds following its coiled pattern along the development of the chamber 32, to terminate in a position corresponding to the hole 11b, as may be seen particularly in Figure 14 .
  • a first advantage is represented by the fact that the heat exchanger 30 according to the invention, even though it is in any case an instantaneous heat exchanger, enables accumulation within it of a substantial mass of water in the respective portions of circuit, which can be maintained at the desired temperature, waiting to be drawn off.
  • the heat exchanger 30 guarantees a substantial storage of sanitary water within the tubing 33 as compared to the usual plate-type heat exchangers for compact boilers, and in any case greater than one litre, preferably greater than two litres.
  • the amount of sanitary water that can be stored in the heat exchanger 30 is approximately 4-5 litres, i.e., equal to at least four times the quantity that can be stored within a plate-type heat exchanger of the maximum capacity currently used for combined compact boilers.
  • the heat exchanger 30 enables an adequate convenience of supply to be achieved, with fast delivery of a considerable mass of hot sanitary water, in short times and in a constant way, even in the presence of changes of flow rate, but without the need to equip the boiler with a specific storage tank.
  • the properties of heat exchange moreover remain unvaried, notwithstanding the difference of the volume of water contained.
  • heat exchanger 30 is less subject to clogging, since the mains water for sanitary purposes passes through a single tube (i.e., the spiral tubing 33), and not through a series of cavities of small cross section in series, as occurs, instead, in the plate-type heat exchanger.
  • the invention enables important advantages to be obtained also for boiler manufacturers, for which the need to diversify production is reduced. In fact, it is possible to obtain two different types of products starting from one and the same basic structure of the boiler 1. Only in the advanced stage of production, the latter may be diversified, by installing the plate-type heat exchanger 10 to meet said type of requirement, or else the heat exchanger 30 according to the invention, thus preventing the need to equip the boiler with additional storage tanks.
  • FIG 16 Illustrated in Figure 16 is a further possible variant of the invention, according to which there are provided adapter elements, designated as a whole by 50.
  • adapter elements designated as a whole by 50.
  • the distance between centres of the holes 8a 11a and 9a, 12a of the plate-type heat exchangers used in compact combined boilers is standardized in some standard measurements (see what was described previously with reference to the distances designated by A and B in Figure 2 ).
  • the adapters 50 can thus be provided the adapters 50 to enable installation of a single version of heat exchanger 30 on combined boilers having different standardized attachments.
  • each adapter 50 comprises a substantially L-shaped body, for example made of metal material, so as to define two surfaces 50a and 50b opposite and parallel to one another, the first designed to co-operate with the connections 8, 11 or 9, 12 of the boiler 1, and the second designed to co-operate with the holes 8b, 11b or 9b, 12b of the heat exchanger 30.
  • the body of each adapter 50 is provided with two respective internal passages. In a position corresponding to the surface 50a, the ends of said passages form holes (not visible in the figure), designed to co-operate with the connections 8, 11 or 9, 12 of the boiler 1.
  • the ends of the same passages form, instead, holes 8c, 11c or 9c, 12c, designed to co-operate with the holes 8b, 11b or 9b, 12b of the heat exchanger 30.
  • each adapter there are moreover provided mechanical fixing seats; for example, a first threaded through seat 51 can be provided, designed to receive the end of a respective screw 21 for fixing of the adapter 50 to a respective assembly 17, 18.
  • the body of the adapter can then comprise a second seat 52 with open end, designed to receive a respective projection 20b of the heat exchanger 30 for fixing via a respective screw (i.e., with modalities similar to the ones described previously with reference to the seats 20, the screws 21, and the projections 20b).
  • a respective screw i.e., with modalities similar to the ones described previously with reference to the seats 20, the screws 21, and the projections 20b.
  • the seal between the adapters 50 and the heat exchanger 30 will be obtained via similar O-rings, operatively set between the surface 50b of the adapter and a respective surface 34a, 35b of the heat exchanger.
  • the holes 8c, 11c and/or 9c, 12c may be provided with a peripheral seat for partial housing of said O-rings.
  • Each internal passage of an adapter 50 can be obtained by making, in the body of the adapter itself, three blind holes, two parallel to one another and one orthogonal to these, which intersects them. For said reason, the end of the aforesaid orthogonal hole, designated by 53 in Figure 9 must be occluded in a sealed way, for example using appropriate plugs, two of which are designated by 54 in the Figure.
  • the adapter elements 50 there can be provided some versions of half-shell 31b, differentiated with respect to one another by the position of the projecting portions 34, 35 with respect to one another and/or by the position of the holes 8b, 9b, 11b, 12b and of the projections 20b within said portions.
  • the adapter elements 50 there can be provided, as required, different types of half-shell 31b, according to the type of standardized connection provided on the boiler concerned (see again what was described previously with reference to the distances designated by A and B in Figure 2 ).
  • Said variant is advantageous and convenient to implement particularly in the case where the various differentiated half-shells 31b are obtained by moulding of plastic material. Also this embodiment thus enables important benefits to be obtained in terms of standardization of production. It is pointed out then that different versions of the heat exchanger 30 could possibly be obtained starting from one and the same casing 31 (for example, as in Figures 5 and 6 ), envisaging different versions of plates 34a, 35a, also in this case differentiated as regards the position of the holes 8b, 9b, 11b, 12b and of the appendages 20b.
  • the instantaneous heat exchanger according to the invention may also have a shape different from the substantially toroidal one illustrated previously; for example, it may as a whole be cylindrical, at the same time maintaining its capacity for storing a substantial mass of water unaltered and maintaining the prearrangement for installation in the place of an ordinary plate-type heat exchanger.
  • the body of the heat exchanger will be provided with the projecting portions, similar to the ones previously designated by 34, 35, and a single chamber in which a tubing or pipe in the form of a coil extends. It may be noted that a single projecting portion could also be provided, equipped with the inlets and outlets 8b, 9b, 11b, 12b in the appropriate positions.
  • the heat exchanger could be designed for storing, within the coil-shaped channel 33, the heating fluid of the primary circuit, and, in the chamber 32, the water for washing purposes, and thus with an arrangement of connection that is reversed with respect to the one previously described by way of example.
  • the holes 8b, 9b and 11b, 12b of the heat exchanger 30 could be shaped so as to present an annular peripheral seat for housing a portion of the respective O-ring 19.
