Abstract
Description
- The object of the present invention is a silencer for gas wall-mounted boiler, for example a condensing boiler, according to the preamble of the main claim.
- As it is known, a gas wall-mounted boiler comprises a structure containing a burner thereat a mixture of gas and air arrives through a duct connected to a fan. The latter is functionally associated to a mixing organ or member thereat the gas and the combustion air arrive. In the structure, generally on a burner side, there is an expansion vessel connected to the heating circuit apt to compensate the increase in the water volume due to its temperature variation.
- In the last years, the gas condensing boilers have become ever more used also in the light of their high efficiency.
- It is also known that the boilers' sizes are becoming ever more important in houses, even in the light of inserting such boilers in domestic environments (for example kitchen furniture or containment technical recesses inside or outside the house) with reduced sizes. In order to reduce the sizes of such boilers, one intervenes on their inner components by reducing the sizes thereof so as to reduce the whole sizes of the boilers themselves.
- The object of the present invention is to offer an improved expansion vessel for a gas wall-mounted boiler apt to allow a reduction of the whole sizes of the latter.
- In particular, the object of the invention is to offer an expansion vessel of the mentioned type allowing the correct positioning of the other components of the burner within the structure of the latter.
- Another object is to offer an expansion vessel of the mentioned type having a high mechanical resistance to the deformation.
- These and other objects which will be evident to the person skilled in the art are achieved by an expansion vessel according the enclosed claims.
- For a better understanding of the present invention, the following drawings are enclosed simply by way of example, but not for limitative purposes, wherein:
-
figure 1 shows a front view of a condensing boiler without front wall for better clarity and equipped with an expansion vessel according to the invention; -
figure 2 shows a perspective view of the expansion vessel shown infigure 1 ; -
figure 3 shows a side view of what shown infigure 2 ; -
figure 4 shows a front view of the expansion vessel offigure 1 ; and -
figure 5 shows a view similar to that offigure 1 , but comprising a variant of the expansion vessel according to the invention shown in suchfigure 1 . - By referring to the mentioned figures,
figure 1 shows a gas wall-mounted, for example condensing,boiler 1 comprising a structure orouter casing 2, wherein aburner 3 is placed thereat a mixture of air and gas arrive through amixing duct 4. The latter is connected to avalve 5, in turn connected to a mixing organ ormember 6, known in itself, connected to a gas duct 7. On a side of theburner 3 and of theduct 4 within thecasing 2 anexpansion vessel 9 is provided, with function known in itself, connected to the heating circuit of a house wherein such boiler operates. - According to the invention, the
expansion vessel 9 comprises a box-like body 12 havingperipheral walls upper wall 18, alower wall 19 and a pair of front andrear walls walls 16 to 19. Thebody 12 is equipped withusual member 23 connecting to the heating circuit thereto theboiler 1 is connected and it comprises aduct 24 connected tosuch member 23. The above-mentioned walls delimitate an inner compartment of theexpansion vessel 9 wherein a (not shown) usual membrane is placed. - According to the invention, the
front wall 20 of thebody 2 has at least a partlyconcave concavity 25, saidwall 20 thus receding into the inner compartment of the box-like body 12 of thevessel 9 towards therear wall 21 of the latter. Thewall 21 can be fully flat or slightly rounded or convex (as in figures), projecting towards the structure orcasing 2 of the boiler. - In this way, in such casing a space is created (the lacking portion in the
concave wall 20 of the box-like body 12) wherein it is possible housing partially or fully some structural components of the boiler (such as, infigure 1 , themixing duct 4 and the mixing organ 6). These components, then, approach to aside wall 2A of theouter casing 2 of the boiler (proximate to the vessel 9) more than they approach within a known boiler without an expansion vessel not according to the present invention. This allows reducing the sizes in width L (figure 1 ) of the boiler. - Considering that the
expansion vessel 9 is subject to a pressure variation from 0.5 to 2.5 bar, such vessel has to guarantee a resistance to size deformation during operation. Therefore, advantageously thefront wall 20 is equipped with bosses orstiffening ribs 28 along the whole concave surface thereof. - Thanks to such solution the not deformity of the
expansion vessel 9 during operation is guaranteed so that: - the
vessel 9 is not subjected to "fatigue" so as to guarantee its function in time (coupling of its inner membrane to the outer members - sheet shells - of the vessel): - the sizes of the
vessel 9 during operation remain within the design tolerances so as not to interfere with the other boiler components; - the sizes of this component during operation remain within the design tolerations so that all mechanical fixing members and the hydraulic connections thereto it is subjected within the boiler are not subjected to "fatigue stress".
- In
figure 5 , wherein portions corresponding to those already described in relation to the other figures are designated with the same reference numerals, theexpansion vessel 9 has thefront wall 20 equipped with two hollowedportions fan 6 and agas valve 30 on the side thereof an electronic circuit controlling theboiler 31 is schematically shown) partially position. Also with such variant a width reduction of theboiler 1 is obtained. - Two embodiments of the invention have been described. However, still other embodiments are possible (such as, for example, the one wherein the
vessel 9 has three or more hollowed portions wherein functional members of the boiler partially position); also such variants are to be considered to fall within the scope of the following claims.
