Description
La présente invention a pour objet un boîtier de distribution hydraulique pour circuit de circulation de fluide dans un capteur solaire. The present invention relates to a hydraulic distribution box for a fluid circulation circuit in a solar collector.
Les capteurs solaires sont fréquemment utilisés pour ré@liser le chauffage d'eau sanitaire et sont associés à cet effet à un circuit contenant un mélange d'eau et d'antigel, appelé également fluide caloporteur qui traverse, d'une part, le capteur solaire au niveau duquel le liquide subit une augmentation de tempe rature et, d'autre part, @ui ballon contenant l'eau sanitaire au niveau duquel le liquide fournit des calories à celle-ci. Le ballon comporte le plus souvent un chauffage electrique d'appoint susceptible d'amener l'eau à la température souhaitée lorsque l'ensoleillement est insuffisant pour ce faire. Solar collectors are frequently used to heat domestic water and are associated for this purpose with a circuit containing a mixture of water and antifreeze, also called heat transfer fluid which passes, on the one hand, the collector solar at the level of which the liquid undergoes an increase in temperature and, on the other hand, @ui tank containing the sanitary water at the level of which the liquid provides calories to it. The balloon generally includes an auxiliary electric heating capable of bringing the water to the desired temperature when the sunshine is insufficient to do this.
Il est. également prévu dans l'installation une pompe assurant la circulation du liquide, un vase d'expansion, un clapet de de charge taré associe a une conduite d'échappement et de vidange, et des sondes de température au niveau clu ballon et au niveau du capteur, associées a un dispositif de commande de la circulation de fluide. It is. also provided in the installation a pump ensuring the circulation of the liquid, an expansion tank, a calibrated charge valve associated with an exhaust and drain pipe, and temperature sensors at the level of the tank and at the level of the sensor, associated with a device for controlling the circulation of fluid.
En effet, il n'est opportun de commander la circulation du fluide que lorsque la température d'eau à l'intérieur du ballon est inféricure a la température souhaitée et lorsque les conditions extérieures sont telles que le capteur est susceptible de fournir un minimum de calories.Indeed, it is only advisable to control the circulation of the fluid when the water temperature inside the tank is below the desired temperature and when the external conditions are such that the sensor is capable of providing a minimum of calories.
En outre, il convient de prévoir un dispositif d'alimentation en fluide du circuit de liquide caloporteur. In addition, provision should be made for a device for supplying fluid to the coolant circuit.
Ces différents agencements nécessitent un travail de plomberie important, devant être réalisé par un personnel complotent. Ces raccords étant réalisés de façon artisanale, ne sont pas esthétiques et nécessitent un nombre important de soudures pouvant etre cause de fuites ultérieurement. These different arrangements require significant plumbing work, which must be carried out by plotting personnel. These fittings being made by hand, are not aesthetic and require a large number of welds which can cause leaks later.
La présente invention vise à remédier â ces inconvénients. The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.
A cet effet, elle concerne un boîtier métallique dans lequel sont ménagés un certain nombre de perçages dont l'@u@ forme un passage auquel sont raccordées les tubulures reliées respectivement au ballon d'eau sanitaire et au capteur solaire, d'autres perçages débouchant dans celui précité et dans une face externe du boîtier sur lesquels sont montés, respectivement, un clapet de décharge tarez un vase d'expansion et une vanne sur le passage servant au remplissage du circuit, les zones des différents perçages situées a proximité des faces extérieures du boltier étant taraudées. To this end, it relates to a metal case in which a number of holes are formed, the @ u @ of which forms a passage to which the pipes connected respectively to the domestic water tank and to the solar collector are connected, other holes opening out. in the aforementioned one and in an external face of the housing on which are mounted, respectively, a relief valve calibrate an expansion tank and a valve on the passage used for filling the circuit, the zones of the various holes located near the external faces of the boltier being tapped.
Ce dispositif présente l'intérêt de fournir un bloc unique contenant tous les éléments nécessaires au circuit de fluide caloporteur du capteur solaire, et raccordable par simple vissage aux différentes tubulures, ce qui implique un travail de plomberie extr8mement simple et rapide ne nécessitant pas de connaissances spéciales de la part de l'installateur. This device has the advantage of providing a single block containing all the elements necessary for the heat transfer fluid circuit of the solar collector, and connectable by simple screwing to the various pipes, which implies an extremely simple and rapid plumbing work requiring no knowledge. special from the installer.
Selon une forme d'exécution de l'invention, le boîtier est réalisé par usinage a partir d'un bloc d'alliage d'aluminium. Cette solution présente l'avantage que ce type de matériau seusine très facilement et possède en outre une esthétique agréable. According to one embodiment of the invention, the housing is produced by machining from an aluminum alloy block. This solution has the advantage that this type of material is very easy to use and also has a pleasant aesthetic.
Avantageusement, l'orifice permettant le raccord au ballon d'eau sanitaire est situé à la partie inférieure du boîtier, de meAme que l'orifice de vidange et l'orifice de remplissage, le vase d'expansion occupant une position latérale. Advantageously, the orifice allowing connection to the domestic water tank is located at the lower part of the housing, as well as the drain orifice and the filling orifice, the expansion vessel occupying a lateral position.
Cet agencement facilite considérablement la liaison avec les tubulures d'alimentation ou d'évacuation correspondantes. This arrangement considerably facilitates the connection with the corresponding supply or evacuation pipes.
Avantageusement, le conduit servant au remplissage du circuit de fluide caloporteur, et intérieur au boîtier comporte un prolongement débouchant a la partie supérieure du boîtier et destiné au raccord d'une tubulure d'alimenta- tion en eau sanitaire du ballon d'eau chaude. Advantageously, the conduit used to fill the heat-transfer fluid circuit, and inside the housing, has an extension opening at the upper part of the housing and intended for the connection of a tubing for supplying domestic water to the hot water tank.
Cet agencement facilite encore le travail du plombier. This arrangement further facilitates the plumber's work.
En outre, le boîtier présente des perçages transver- saux permettant sa fisation a l'aide de tirants sur tni rail préalablement fixé sur le support devant être équipé de l'appareil. In addition, the box has transverse holes allowing it to be placed using tie rods on a tni rail previously fixed on the support to be equipped with the device.
De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, a titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exôcutîon d'uné installation équipée de ce bottier

L'installation représentée au dessin comprend un capteur solaire 2 de type connu, un ballon d'eau sanitaire 3, le ballon d'eau sanitaire comportant une tubulure d'amenée sous pression 4 débouchant à sa partie inférieure et une tubulure 5 débouchant à sa partie supérieure permettant le soutirage d'eau chaude. The installation shown in the drawing comprises a solar collector 2 of known type, a sanitary water tank 3, the sanitary water tank comprising a pressurized supply pipe 4 opening at its lower part and a pipe 5 opening at its upper part for drawing hot water.
Outre par une résistance d'appoint non représentée au dessin, le chauffage de l'eau contenue dans le ballon 2 est réalisé par l'intermédiaire d'une tubulure 6 traversant celui-ci et traversant également le capteur solaire 2. Cette tubulure sert à la circulation d'un fluide caloporteur. In addition to an additional resistance not shown in the drawing, the water contained in the tank 2 is heated by a tube 6 passing through it and also passing through the solar collector 2. This tube is used to circulation of a heat transfer fluid.
Cette circulation est assurée à l'aide d'une pompe 7 commandée à partir d'un boîtier 8 auquel sont reliées deux sondes thermométriques, respectivement 9 et 10, associées au ballon et au capteur solaire. This circulation is ensured using a pump 7 controlled from a housing 8 to which are connected two thermometric probes, respectively 9 and 10, associated with the balloon and the solar collector.
Entre le ballon 3 et la pompe 2, la tubulure 6 de circulation du fluide caloporteur traverse un boîtier de distribution hydraulique 12. Ce boîtier est de forme parallèlôpipèdique et réalisé à partir d'un alliage d'aluminium. Il comporte, comme montré notamment à la figure 2, un premier perçage 13 débouchant dans ses faces inférieure et supérieure, les zones de ce perçage proches & s extrémités étant taraudées et permettant, au niveau de la partie inférieure, le raccordement à la tubulure 6 en provenance du ballon 3 et, du côté de la partie superieure, le raccordement à la tubulure 6 en direction du capteur solaire 2. Between the balloon 3 and the pump 2, the tubing 6 for circulation of the heat transfer fluid passes through a hydraulic distribution box 12. This box is of parallelepipedal shape and produced from an aluminum alloy. It comprises, as shown in particular in FIG. 2, a first bore 13 opening into its lower and upper faces, the zones of this bore close to the ends being tapped and allowing, at the level of the lower part, the connection to the tubing 6 coming from the tank 3 and, on the side of the upper part, the connection to the pipe 6 in the direction of the solar collector 2.
Dans le conduit 13 est monte un clapet anti-retour 14 permettant le passage de fluide du ballon vers le capteur, mais non du capteur vers le ballon. In the duct 13 is mounted a non-return valve 14 allowing the passage of fluid from the balloon to the sensor, but not from the sensor to the balloon.
Dans le conduit 13 débouche un conduit 15 sortant latéralement et permettant le branchement du vase d'expan- sion 11. Dans le conduit 15 débouche un conduit 16 permettant le branchement d'un manomètre 17. Dans le conduit 15 débouche également un perçage 18 transversal dont l'autre extrémité débouche dans un perçage 19 parallèle au perçage 13. Ce perçage 19 permet le raccordement au niveau d'un orifice 20 à l'eau du réseau sous pression, afin de permettre le remplissage du circuit en fluide caloporteur. Ce remplissage est maîtrisé à l'aide d'une vanne 22. In the pipe 13 opens a pipe 15 coming out laterally and allowing the connection of the expansion vessel 11. In the pipe 15 opens a pipe 16 allowing the connection of a pressure gauge 17. In the pipe 15 also opens a transverse bore 18 the other end of which opens into a bore 19 parallel to the bore 13. This bore 19 allows connection at the level of an orifice 20 to the water of the network under pressure, in order to allow the circuit to be filled with heat-transfer fluid. This filling is controlled using a valve 22.
Selon une possibilité; le perçage 19 débouche dans la face supérieure du boîtier. Selon une première possibilité, l'orifice ménagé dans la face supérieure est obturé par un bouchon et,selon une seconde possibiiité,peut servir au raccordement de la tubulure d'alimentation 4 4 du ballon d'eau sanitaire en eau froide. According to one possibility; the hole 19 opens into the upper face of the housing. According to a first possibility, the orifice provided in the upper face is closed by a plug and, according to a second possibility, can be used for connection of the supply pipe 4 4 of the domestic hot water tank in cold water.
Dans la partie supérieure du perçage 13 débouche un perçage 23 communiquant avec un perçage parallèle à celui 13 qui débouche à la partie inférieure du boîtier et forme orifice de vidange. Sur le conduit 23 est monté un clapet de décharge taré 24, actionnable manuellement par un mécanisme apparent sur la face avant du boitier. In the upper part of the bore 13 opens a bore 23 communicating with a bore parallel to that 13 which opens at the lower part of the housing and forms a drain orifice. On the conduit 23 is mounted a calibrated relief valve 24, manually operable by an apparent mechanism on the front face of the housing.
Dans le boîtier sont également ménagés deux perçages 25 transversaux aux faces avant et arrière, et faisant communiquer celles-ci, ces deux perçages permettant la fixation à l'aide de tirants 26, du boîtier sur un rail 27 constitué par un profilé de section en C, préalablement fixé sur le support destiné à recevoir l'appareil. In the housing are also formed two holes 25 transverse to the front and rear faces, and making them communicate, these two holes allowing the fixing, using tie rods 26, of the housing on a rail 27 formed by a sectional section in C, previously fixed on the support intended to receive the device.
Comme il ressort de ce qui précède, l'invention apporte une grandu @mélioration à la technique existante on fourmissant un boîtier d'alimentation hydraulique d'un circuit de fluide caloporteur de capteur solaire, de conception simple éliminant tout travail de plomberie pour les raccordements, et d'une esthétique très agréable. As is clear from the above, the invention brings a great improvement to the existing technique by providing a hydraulic supply unit with a circuit for heat transfer fluid from a solar collector, of simple design eliminating any plumbing work for the connections. , and a very pleasant aesthetic.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce boîtier, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this box, described above by way of example; on the contrary, it embraces all of its variant embodiments.
C'est ainsi notamment que le nombre ou les positions respectives des perçages que comporte le boîtier pourraient être différents sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de l'invention. Thus, in particular, the number or the respective positions of the holes that the housing comprises could be different without departing from the scope of the invention.
