Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for selective distribution of water for heating, for example for distributing water for heating to a heat exchanger or from a heat exchanger.
  • the invention is applicable for example in those users known as satellite modules, i.e. in thermo-hydraulic control centres which enable autonomous management of heating and production of sanitary hot water in the presence of centralised system, typically, though not only, in residential or commercial buildings.
  • the invention can in any case also be applied in different types of plants with respect to those indicated above.
  • the fluid in general hot water coming from a boiler of a centralised plant, is sent to the heating plant, or to a heat exchanger by means of which the sanitary water originating from the general water supply is brought to the set temperature, should this be requested by the domestic users.
  • the demand for sanitary hot water prevails over the function of heating, and that therefore when a user opens a tap in order to obtain hot water, the satellite immediately deviates, via a selector valve, for example a three-way valve, the hot water for heating towards the exchanger with sanitary water, temporarily interrupting the supply to the water for heating.
  • a selector valve for example a three-way valve
  • the user satellite closes supply to the exchanger and directs all the heating water in inlet towards the heating plant of the dwelling, if requested.
  • these user satellites further enable a rapid and precise accounting (water and heat energy) of the resources effectively used by the single user in the user's dwelling.
  • these user satellites can further be provided or not with a recycling plant for the hot sanitary water, thus essentially determining six main types of user satellite. Further, these user satellites can be provided (or not) with further components or accessories, for example for accounting for the heat and the flows of water and for other additional functions.
  • the exchanger cools down and therefore when a user requests hot water, much time is necessary before the hot water reaches the user, given that it is first necessary for the hot water to flow to the exchanger and then to heat the sanitary water.
  • a heat sensor mounted on user satellites, and in particular on the exchanger, a heat sensor, for example a thermostat, which is able to command opening of the three-way selector valve in order to heat the exchanger, even in the absence of a request for sanitary hot water, when the temperature of the exchanger falls below a predetermined minimum threshold.
  • a heat sensor for example a thermostat
  • the exchanger can be pre-heated so that it is maintained above a minimum temperature and thus hot sanitary water is obtained in a shorter time.
  • a further solution that has been proposed in order to obviate the above-described drawback comprises a timed programming of the electronic control devices of the user satellite, such as to activate the three-way valve at the predetermined time intervals or according to a predetermined programming such as to heat the exchanger, for example by pre-heating the exchanger before the presumed times of greatest use by the users.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to obviate one or more of the problems encountered in the prior art.
  • An aim of the present invention is to provide a device for selective distribution of water for heating which is efficient, rational and effective.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a device for selective distribution of water for heating which exhibits a simple, compact and rational structure.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a device for selective distribution of water for heating which enables a simplification of the structure of a thermo-hydraulic water control unit in which it is installed, making the structure simple and compact.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for distribution of water for heating which is compact, with a structure that it simple and easy-to-install and maintain, and/or which incurs contained costs and/or high functioning efficiency.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a device for selective distribution of water for heating which enables optimisation of the energy consumption of the heating plant.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a device for selective distribution of water for heating which has a long working life and safeguards against malfunctioning of the components of the heating plant.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a device for selective distribution of water for heating which is flexible and adaptable to the requirements of the various users.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to make available a device for selective distribution of water for heating which is simple and economical to realise.
  • thermo-hydraulic apparatus for distribution of water, in accordance with any one of the appended apparatus claims, comprising a second hydraulic device having one or more of the characteristics contained in the present description.
