Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of hot water system, and more particularly to a water circulation module suitable for domestic hot water system.
  • a user When turning on a hot faucet to start a gas water heating appliance, such as a gas water heater, a user often has to wait a long time for hot water output from the hot faucet. This is because, on one hand, there is a large amount of cold water remaining in water pipelines within or outside of the appliance, and this amount of cold water has to be drained out first and then hot water comes out; on the other hand, at the beginning of starting the gas water heater, for consideration of security, a blower will be first activated to exhaust residual gas within the combustion chamber and flue pipes, and the combustion burner will be ignited after the residual gas being all replaced by fresh air, during the period, hot faucet continuously outputs cold water. Obviously, the big volume of drained cold water causes the waste of water resources. In addition, this will lead to a poor user experience, for example, when the user desires to take a shower in winter, the user has to wait a long time to get hot water.
  • the preheating water circulation can also be realized by connecting a return pipe section in parallel with a water mixing valve performing as a water consuming point, such as shown in a Chinese Utility Model Publication CN 205332549 U , when there is no water consuming demand at the water mixing valve, hot water comes out from the water heating appliance passes through hot water pipelines, the return pipe section, cold water pipelines, and returns to the water heating appliance, thereby preheating cold water within the circulation pipelines. Since this means does not require a long water return pipe between the water consuming point and the water heating appliance, it can be applied to the user's home that has been finished decoration. Nevertheless, there are often more than two water consuming subsystems existing in one user's home, for example, two bathrooms. These multiple subsystems are supplied hot water from the same water heating appliance, and the multiple subsystems are arranged in parallel, it is therefore clear that this preheating means could not be used to control each of the multiple subsystems individually.
  • a water circulation module adapted to be installed in a hot water system including a water heating appliance having an water inlet and a water outlet, a cold water pipeline in communication with the water inlet , and a hot water pipeline in communication with the water outlet.
  • the water circulation module is disposed outside the water heating appliance and connected between the hot water pipeline and the cold water pipeline, so as to selectively establish a water circulation path between itself and the water heating appliance and thereby heating cold water in the water circulation path.
  • the water circulation module includes a main waterway, a temperature sensing device associated with the main waterway for detecting temperature of water within the main waterway, and a water pump disposed in the main waterway for being started or stopped in accordance with the water temperature detected by the temperature sensing device.
  • the water circulation module further includes a housing, an auxiliary water heating device, a first pipeline and a second pipeline.
  • the housing has an inlet port, a first outlet port, and a second outlet port.
  • the auxiliary water heating device is disposed in the housing and having a water intake and a water exit.
  • the first pipeline is disposed between the inlet port and the water intake of the auxiliary water heating device, and the second pipeline is disposed between the second outlet port and the water exit of the auxiliary water heating device.
  • the main waterway is disposed between the inlet port and the first outlet port.
  • the water circulation module further includes a check valve provided in the main waterway.
  • the check valve has a specific cracking pressure.
  • the specific cracking pressure equals to or is larger than 300 mbar.
  • the water circulation module further includes a controller electrically connected with the temperature sensing device and the water pump for controlling the water pump to be started or stopped in accordance with the water temperature detected by the temperature sensing device.
  • the controller starts the water pump; when the water temperature equals to or is larger than a second temperature threshold that is higher than the first temperature threshold, the controller stops the water pump.
  • the water circulation module further includes an electromagnetic valve provided in the main waterway.
  • the auxiliary water heating device is an electric water heating device.
  • the first pipeline includes a portion of the main waterway.
  • a hot water system including a water heating appliance having a water inlet and a water outlet, a cold water pipeline and a hot water pipeline.
  • the cold water pipeline communicates with the water inlet and the hot water pipeline communicates with the water outlet.
  • At least one first water mixing valve communicates with the cold water pipeline and the hot water pipeline.
  • a second water mixing valve is disposed farther from the water heating appliance than the at least one first water mixing valve along the hot water pipeline and/or the cold water pipeline.
  • a water circulation module as aforementioned is provided downstream of the at least one first water mixing valve and in communication with the hot water pipeline, the cold water pipeline, and the second water mixing valve.
  • the present invention has the advantages that: the water circulation module is provided with a temperature sensing device and a water pump, and the water pump can be started or stopped in accordance with the water temperature detected by the temperature sensing device, in other words, the water circulation module is able to determine to start or stop the preheating circulation by itself and control the preheating circulation of the water consuming system where it locates individually.
  • a hot water system of present invention is suitable for domestic applications and can be used for providing domestic hot water and/or space heating.
  • the hot water system includes a water heating appliance which can be fired with combustible gas, or powered by an electric heating rod, or a solar water heater, or a heat pump, etc..
  • the water heating appliances fired with combustible can be gas water heaters for supplying hot water for domestic sanitary usage or gas boilers for heating living space, and a gas water heater will be exemplified hereinafter.
  • a hot water system in accordance with a first embodiment of present invention is denoted with reference numeral 100
  • a gas water heater of the hot water system is denoted with reference numeral 10.
  • the gas water heater 10 typically includes a casing, and a gas burner as well as a heat exchanger both housed within the casing.
  • the burner ignites a mixture of gas and air, and the mixture is combusted in a combustion chamber defined between the burner and the heat exchanger.
  • the high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion passes through the heat exchanger driven by a fan, and the heat is absorbed by the water passing through pipes coiled outside the heat exchanger.
  • a water inlet 11 and a water outlet 12 are provided at the bottom of the gas water heater 10.
  • the cold water coming from water mains 30 enters the gas water heater 10 via a water pipe 31 and the water inlet 11 for being heated, and then hot water is discharged through the water outlet 12.

  • the hot water pipeline mainly refers to the pipes for being flowed through by hot water when the gas water heater 10 is in operation, but when the water heater 10 is not working, the water retained in the hot water pipeline will be gradually cooled to a room temperature which at this time equals to the temperature of water existed in the cold water pipelines 32.
  • the hot water system 100 further includes a number of water consuming points where a number of water mixing valves is positioned respectively, and two opposite ends of each water mixing valve respectively communicate with the hot water pipeline 33 and the cold water pipeline 32.
  • the hot water system 100 includes a water circulation module 40 connected between the hot water pipeline 33 and the cold water pipeline 32.
  • the water circulation module 40 is disposed at the water consuming point farthest from the gas water heater 10. Since the water circulation module 40 can connect the hot water pipeline 33 and the cold water pipeline 32, when the water consuming points are all not used, the gas water heater 10 can work to preheat the cold water both in the cold and the hot water pipelines 32, 33, in this way, the water circulation module 40 located at the farthest point away from the gas water heater 10 helps to keep all of water remaining in the cold and the hot water pipelines 32, 33 uniformly heated, so that any of the water consuming points can immediately access hot water as soon as the faucets thereof are turned on.
  • the water mixing valves of the water consuming points can be divided into a first water mixing valve 21 located closer to the gas water heater 10 along the cold and/or the hot water pipelines 32 and 33, and a second water mixing valve 22 located further away from the gas water heater 10.
