Definitions
- the invention relates to a membrane expansion vessel for connection to a pipeline network with two vessel parts, which are pressure-tight and fluid-tightly interconnected in a circumferential connection region, the closed vessel interior formed by the two vessel parts being separated from a flat or half-shell-shaped membrane into a water space and a gas space is, wherein the water space is connectable via a connecting piece with the pipe network.
- Such expansion vessels with membranes are used to accommodate changes in volume, for example, by pressure-dependent switching on and off of pumps, by pressure shock absorbers or temperature-related in closed fluid circuits that occur in water supply systems or heating circuits.
- two different expansion vessel types are distinguished, namely vessels with two vessel parts and a flat or half-shell-shaped membrane and vessels with a bubble-shaped membrane which is inserted with its opening edge into the water connection of the expansion vessel and forms the water space.
- the membrane can also form the gas space.
- a major disadvantage of these long-proven expansion vessels is especially that in membranes made of an elastomeric material, especially over a long period of time, a certain permeation effect can not be avoided, so that penetrate from the gas space gas in the water space and thus in the pipe network can, which is undesirable, especially in heating circuits. This also reduces the gas volume in the gas space, which requires maintenance, since a refilling is necessary. This is associated with the corresponding effort.
- the object of the invention is to develop a generic membrane expansion vessel so that a permeation of gas from the gas space into the water space reliably avoided, without thereby the manufacturing and assembly costs is increased significantly.
- a membrane pressure expansion vessel of the type described above that the membrane is formed of an at least single-layered, gas-impermeable plastic and circumferentially connected at its outer edge with a sealing element, wherein the outer edge of the membrane with the sealing element in the connecting region between the two Vessel parts is fluid-tight manner.
- a membrane expansion vessel available whose at least one-layer plastic membrane is gas impermeable, whereby a permeation of gas, in particular of air or nitrogen, is avoided.
- the plastic material for example, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) can be used as a base.
- the outer edge of the membrane is connected to a sealing element.
- This circumferential sealing element may be suitably applied to the outer edge of the membrane.
- the outer edge of the membrane is connected at the top and at the bottom in each case with a sealing element, whereby a particularly reliable sealing is achieved.
- the sealing element is C-shaped and the outer edge of the membrane on the upper and lower sides surrounds.
- Such a C-shaped sealing element can, for example, by encapsulation with the outer edge connected to the membrane.
- the sealing element consists of a sealing foam applied to the outer edge of the membrane.
- a sealing foam e.g. on a 2K polyurethane base
- manufacturing technology makes it particularly easy to apply to the outer edge of the membrane.
- the sealing element thus follows the contour of the outer edge of the membrane, which is dependent on the particular vessel shape (e.g., round, polygonal, polygonal with rounded edges).
- the pressure and fluid-tight connection of the two vessel parts is preferably ensured in a manner known per se by virtue of the fact that the two vessel parts are positively connected to one another in the connection region while clamping the outer edge of the membrane.
- An example of such a positive connection is in the FIG. 1 of the DE 28 14 162 B2 shown.
- the membrane itself is preferably formed according to a first preferred embodiment of a plastic blend.
- a plastic blend in particular a polymer blend, is a molecularly distributed or microscopically dispersed plastic alloy, ie a mixture of at least two base plastics or base polymers.
- a base material then preferably has the required elastic properties, which allows the deformation of the membrane under pressure changes, and the other the gas barrier properties.
- the membrane is made of an at least two-layer composite material with a first layer of an elastic plastic and a consists of an elastic gas-impermeable plastic associated with the first layer second layer.
- the one layer serves as a carrier layer, to which, for example, by coextrusion, the second layer is applied.
- the membrane has an at least three-layer structure, wherein the third layer consists of an elastic plastic.
- the second layer of an elastic gas-impermeable plastic is then embedded on both sides.
- Adhesion promoters may be provided between the layers.
- a diaphragm pressure expansion vessel is in Fig. 1 generally denoted by 1.
- This membrane expansion vessel 1 is formed in the embodiment as a flat vessel and suitable, for example, for insertion into a wall spa. But it can also have a different geometric design, for example, when used in conjunction with a boiler.
- the membrane pressure expansion vessel 1 has two half-shell-shaped vessel parts 2, 3 made of metal.
- the two vessel parts 2, 3 can basically have any desired geometric shape, e.g. also oval or angular.
- the vessel parts 2, 3 are connected to one another in a pressure-fluid-tight and fluid-tight manner in a circumferential connection area, generally designated 4, which will be explained in more detail below.
- a connecting piece 5 is provided for connecting the diaphragm expansion vessel 1 to a not shown line network.
- the interior of the membrane expansion vessel 1 is subdivided by a membrane 6 into a water space 7 communicating with the connecting piece 5 and a gas space 8, this gas space 8 is provided with a gas under a predetermined overpressure, e.g. Air or nitrogen, filled.
- a gas filling opening is provided, e.g. is closed by means of a simple plug or a gas filling valve 9.
- the membrane 6 is made of an at least single-layered gas-impermeable plastic, e.g. from a plastic blend, i. a plastic alloy of at least two constituents, one component having elastic properties and the other having gas impermeable properties.
- the gas-impermeable component may be, for example, EVOH and, of course, is also so elastic that the diaphragm 6 can change its shape under pressure changes and compress the gas space 8.
- the membrane 6 can be equipped with additional profiles, beads or the like, which is not shown in detail.
- this membrane 6 consists of an at least two-layer composite material, in Fig. 2 is a three-layer structure shown.
- This membrane 6 consists of a first layer 6a made of an elastic plastic, for example propylene, a second layer 6b of an elastic gas-impermeable plastic, for example EVOH, and a third layer 6c, again of an elastic material, eg propylene (PP) or polyethylene ( PE).
- PP propylene
- PE polyethylene
- an adhesion promoter can be provided between the layers.
- Such a multilayer membrane 6 can be produced, for example, by coextrusion.
- the outer edge 10 of the membrane 6 is preferably connected to the upper and lower sides in each case with a sealing element 11.
- This sealing element 11 is preferably a sealing foam applied to the outer edge of the membrane 6, for example based on 2K polyurethane.
- the membrane 6 is provided with its provided with the sealing elements 11 outer edge 10 in the connection region 4 between the two vessel parts 2, 3, then the vessel halves 2, 3 in the connection region 4, preferably positively, clamped together, e.g. by means of a circumferential clamping ring 12th
- the membrane 6 then serves in addition to its actual membrane function at the same time as a sealing element in the connection region 4.
- the sealing function is reliably ensured by the circumferential sealing element 11 at the outer edge 10 of the membrane 6, even if the material of the membrane 6 itself is not suitable as a sealant.
- a single cross-sectionally C-shaped sealing element 11 ' is provided, which surrounds the outer edge (10) of the membrane (6) on the upper and lower sides and the outer edge (10) terminates radially outward.
- Such a one-piece sealing element (11 ') can be connected, for example, by molding the membrane (6) with the membrane (6).
- the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Further embodiments are possible without departing from the basic idea.
- the two vessel parts 2, 3 also, as mentioned above, have a different geometric shape.
- the membrane 6 itself can also have only one or two-layer structure.
- the sealing element can also be formed by the elastic layer (6a or 6c) itself by appropriate material thickening.
