Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sectional boiler made of cast iron or aluminum, in particular a condensing boiler, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such sectional boiler consist of several integrally cast boiler members, which are arranged one behind the other and water side connected by hubs.
  • the water channels and water pockets formed by the boiler members are flowed through between the return connection and the supply connection.
  • generic sectional heating boilers have a lower return connection and a top feed connection, preferably in the respective hub.
  • the hot gases flow from the combustion chamber via downstream hot gas flues to an exhaust gas outlet and release heat to the boiler water on their way.
  • the links are arranged in series one behind the other.
  • the combustion chamber extends through the front and middle links to the rear link, which forms the bottom of the combustion chamber with its lid-shaped design.
  • All of the boiler members have similar external dimensions in these embodiments because they form parts of the combustion chamber, Schugastecn and water space over the entire boiler cross-section.
  • boilers for low power ranges are known, which consist of only two or even only one boiler member.
  • heating value technology With regard to the exhaust system and the efficiency of the heaters, a distinction is made between heating value technology and condensing boiler technology. For reasons of energy saving more and more condensing boilers are used.
  • the design of their heat exchanger provides the opportunity to cool the resulting in the combustion of fuel and air moist exhaust gases below the Abgastauddling. The moisture of the exhaust gases condenses and in addition to the sensible heat, the heat of condensation is transferred to the heating water.
  • the heat exchangers of conventional calorifiers are often made of cast iron. They are characterized by high robustness and long life. Their construction of mostly identical casting segments allows cost-effective production and easy scalability with regard to different output sizes and offers good mounting options even under tight installation conditions. The material endures the short exhaust gas condensation phases very well at startup and cold heat exchanger. Only for condensing operation with a prolonged accumulation of condensation is cast iron in its present form and design not suitable.
  • the invention has the object to optimize a sectional boiler made of cast iron or aluminum, in particular with regard to compactness and robustness.
  • the cast iron or aluminum sectional heating boiler is characterized in that annular gaps are provided between two adjacent members as heating gas flues which run approximately radially outward starting from the combustion chamber and open into an exhaust gas collecting space on the outside of the members.
  • annular gaps are provided between two adjacent members as heating gas flues which run approximately radially outward starting from the combustion chamber and open into an exhaust gas collecting space on the outside of the members.
  • two adjacent links each have an associated geometry.
  • annular gap at right angles to the central axis of the combustion chamber extends radially and straight outwards.
  • an annular gap is radially curved and extends arcuately, similar to a turbine blade geometry, to the outside.
  • annular gap with an inclination to the central axis of the combustion chamber extends straight outwards. This is particularly useful with a vertical arrangement of the entire block of links, because then condensate can drain all the way down from a gap.
  • an annular gap in the radial direction can also be wavy outward, in particular in order to increase the flow turbulence within a gap, so that an intensive heat transfer is achieved on the surfaces.
  • the width and / or the free cross section of an annular gap decreases from the combustion chamber to the outlet on the outside of the links, to achieve an adaptation to the cooling gas volume which decreases with the cooling.
  • the heating gas contacted surfaces of the members, at least the gap forming surfaces, may be provided with a corrosion protection coating.
  • the exhaust gas collecting space on the outside of the members, in which the annular gaps open, extends as a hollow cylinder around the outer lateral surfaces of the members and is bounded by a jacket to the outside. This is sealingly received between radially outwardly projecting annular webs on the outside of the front and rear member.
  • the two anchor rods for holding the link block are arranged inside the hubs.
  • a feed pipe for return water and / or discharge pipe for supply water disposed within the hubs may be used when provided with corresponding threads for tightening the assembly.
  • the upper and lower hubs between the return and flow connection can be mutually closed, in which case closure means are attached to the anchor rods, feed pipe and / or extraction pipe.
  • At least two centering points or surfaces are provided on each member to maintain an exact gap between two adjacent links, which map the Rohgussab distressen and Rohgusstoleranzen particularly well.
  • the thickness of the limb has a direct influence on the gap width between two limbs.
  • a sectional boiler with the best suitability for condensing operation is created in which the positive material properties of cast iron or aluminum are selectively applied and used to ensure good heat transfer properties, compactness and robustness. It is collected corrosion-causing loads.
  • the anticorrosion coating itself is according to the invention not only easy to apply and control, but it is also protected in the columns from possible mechanical stress.
  • the sectional construction also offers the advantage of being able to variably cover different lengths for different combustion and heat exchanger capacities by inserting further center elements. Nevertheless, then remain all front-mounted attachments and the water-side connections the same. Only the surrounding mantle around the exhaust manifold varies. Because of the low exhaust gas temperatures, this can even be made of plastic.
  • the sectional boiler consists essentially of annular members, namely a front member 1, a lid-shaped rear member 2 and a plurality of middle members 3. These form a combustion chamber 4 and the annular water chambers 5 communicate with each other via hubs 6, 6 'in connection.
  • annular column 7 between two adjacent members 1, 2, 3 are provided, each extending from the combustion chamber 4 approximately radially outward and open into an exhaust gas collection chamber 8.
  • annular gap 7 two adjacent links 1, 2, 3 each have an associated geometry. In the illustrated embodiment arise by the curvatures of the members 1, 2, 3 four radially curved, annular column. 7
  • the exhaust gas collection chamber 8 extends as a hollow cylinder around the outer lateral surfaces of the members 1, 2, 3 and is bounded by a jacket 9 to the outside, which sealing between radially outwardly projecting annular webs 10 on the outside of the front and rear members 1, 2 is recorded.
  • Two anchor rods 11 for holding the link block are arranged within the hubs 6, 6 '.
  • disk-like closure means 12 are attached to mutually close the upper and lower hubs 6, 6 'to form a forced flow between the return and supply ports.
  • each member 1, 2, 3 for maintaining an exact gap between two adjacent links 1, 2, 3 three centering surfaces 13 of molded cam to accurately identify the respective present dimensions after the casting process and for the processing of the hub areas consulted.
