Description

  The present disclosure relates to a hot water supply system and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a hot water supply system including a heat exchange unit including a primary heat exchanger and a secondary heat exchanger and a control method thereof.

  Conventionally, some hot water supply systems include a heat exchanger and a heating unit that heats the heat exchanger. In the hot water supply system, the heating unit heats the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger heats water that has entered from the outside. Thereby, the water introduced into the hot water supply system is heated by the heat exchanger and then discharged.

  In such a hot water supply system, there is one that controls heating by the heating unit in accordance with the temperature of the water that has entered. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2014-137205 (Patent Document 1) discloses a technique for controlling a heat exchanger according to a detection output of a temperature sensor arranged on the downstream side of the heat exchanger. JP-A-1-247947 (Patent Document 2) discloses a technique for controlling a heating unit in accordance with a temperature detected by a water temperature sensor installed on the downstream side of the heating unit.

  However, when a certain amount of water is held inside the hot water supply system, the temperature detected by the water temperature sensor may differ from the temperature of the water that is actually heated in the heat exchanger. For example, this is the case when the incoming water has preheating. When water entering the heat exchanger is introduced via a solar system or the like, temperature unevenness occurs in the piping. When the temperature of water entering the hot water supply system suddenly increases, the temperature detected by the water temperature sensor is high, but the temperature of the water that is held by the hot water system and is heated by the heat exchanger is low. There may be cases. In such a case, if the heating unit is controlled according to the temperature detected by the water temperature sensor, the heat exchanger may not be heated to such an extent that water can be sufficiently heated.

In the following description, the same parts and components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

[1. Configuration of hot water supply system]
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a hot water supply system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a hot water supply system 100 includes a heating unit 20, a gas burner 30, a combustion can body (hereinafter simply referred to as “can body”) 10 that houses the heating unit 20, a blower fan 40, a water inlet pipe 50, A bypass pipe 60, a hot water outlet pipe 70, and a controller 300 are included. The heating unit 20 is a part that heats and sends hot water with the amount of heat generated by the combustion of the gas burner 30, and includes a primary heat exchanger 11 that recovers sensible heat and a secondary heat exchanger 21 that recovers latent heat. The outlet of the secondary heat exchanger 21 is connected to the inlet of the primary heat exchanger 11.

  A bypass pipe 60 is disposed between the water inlet pipe 50 and the hot water outlet pipe 70. The water intake pipe 50 is an example of a “water input path” for entering hot water into the heating unit 20. A distribution valve 80 for controlling the diversion to the bypass pipe 60 is connected to the water inlet pipe 50. Further, a temperature sensor 110 and a flow rate sensor 150 are arranged in the water intake pipe 50. The temperature sensor 110 detects the incoming water temperature Tw. A part of the amount of water supplied to the hot water supply system 100 is diverted from the water inlet pipe 50 to the bypass pipe 60 according to the opening degree of the distribution valve 80. The ratio of the diversion to the total water supply amount is controlled according to the opening degree of the distribution valve 80. The water intake pipe 50 can be supplied with tap water or hot water from an external device. In the present embodiment, the external device that can be connected to the water inlet pipe 50 includes, for example, a fuel cell power generation unit.

  Hot water from the water inlet pipe 50 is preheated by the secondary heat exchanger 21 inserted in the water inlet path, and then heated in the primary heat exchanger 11. Hot water heated by the primary heat exchanger 11 and the secondary heat exchanger 21 is discharged from a hot water tap 160 such as a kitchen and a bathroom through a hot water pipe 70.

  The outlet pipe 70 is connected to the bypass pipe 60 at the junction 75. Therefore, the hot water from the hot water tap 160 becomes an appropriate temperature by mixing the hot water discharged from the can 10 and the hot water from the bypass pipe 60.

  The outlet pipe 70 is provided with a flow rate adjusting valve 90 and temperature sensors 190, 120, and 130. The temperature sensor 190 detects the temperature of water in the flow path between the secondary heat exchanger 21 and the primary heat exchanger 11. The temperature sensor 190 can detect the temperature of water that is preliminarily heated in the secondary heat exchanger 21 and then enters the primary heat exchanger 11. The temperature sensor 120 is disposed on the upstream side (the can body 10 side) of the junction point 75 with the bypass pipe 60 of the tapping pipe 70, and the temperature of the tapping water from the can body 10 (hereinafter referred to as tapping temperature (primary) Tdpo). Is detected. The temperature sensor 130 is provided on the downstream side (the hot water side) from the junction 75 and detects the hot water temperature Th after the hot water from the bypass pipe 60 is mixed. The flow rate adjusting valve 90 is provided to control the hot water flow rate.

  The fuel gas delivered from the gas burner 30 is mixed with the combustion air from the blower fan 40. When the air-fuel mixture is ignited by an ignition device (not shown), the fuel gas is burned and a flame is generated. The combustion heat generated by the flame from the gas burner 30 is given to the primary heat exchanger 11 and the secondary heat exchanger 21 in the can 10.

  The primary heat exchanger 11 heats incoming water by heat exchange by sensible heat (combustion heat) of the combustion gas by the gas burner 30. The secondary heat exchanger 21 heats the water passed by the latent heat of the combustion exhaust gas from the gas burner 30 by heat exchange. An exhaust path 15 for exhausting the exhaust gas after heat exchange is provided on the downstream side of the can body 10 in the flow direction of the combustion gas. As described above, in the can 10, the hot water supplied from the inlet pipe 50 is heated by the primary heat exchanger 11 and the secondary heat exchanger 21 by the amount of heat generated by the combustion in the gas burner 30.

  The gas supply pipe 31 to the gas burner 30 is provided with an original gas solenoid valve 32, a gas proportional valve 33 whose opening degree is adjusted in proportion to the amount of current supplied, and capacity switching valves 35a to 35c. The original gas solenoid valve 32 has a function of turning on / off the supply of fuel gas to the gas burner 30. A CPU (Central Processing Unit) 301 described later adjusts the gas flow rate of the gas supply pipe 31 by adjusting the opening of the gas proportional valve 33. In the present embodiment, the gas burner 30 and the gas proportional valve 33 that adjusts the heating power of the gas burner 30 are an example of a heating device configured to heat the primary heat exchanger 11.

  The controller 300 includes a CPU 301, an interface 302 that controls input / output with the outside, a timer 303, and a storage unit 304. The CPU 301 receives an output signal (detection) from each sensor and a user operation via the interface 302, generates a control command to each device in order to control the overall operation of the hot water supply system 100, and passes through the interface 302. Output.

  The CPU 301 samples an output signal (detection) from each sensor via the interface 302, and converts the sampled signal into a measurement value by A / D (Analog / digital) conversion. The user operation includes a command to turn on / off the hot water supply system 100 and a set temperature value (including a set temperature value Tr of hot water supply). The user operation may include an operation on / off command for hot water supply system 100. The control command includes a heating command for controlling the combustion of the gas burner 30. The heating command includes an open command or a close command to the original gas solenoid valve 32 and a command for variably adjusting the opening degree to the gas proportional valve 33.

  In the hot water supply system 100, hot water obtained by mixing the heated water from the can 10 and the non-heated water from the bypass pipe 60 is discharged from the flow rate adjusting valve 90 disposed on the downstream side (the hot water side) from the junction 75. Is done.

  The controller 300 can control the flow rate value Q and the hot water flow rate from the hot water discharge pipe 70 by controlling the opening degree of the flow rate adjusting valve 90. In the hot water supply system 100 shown in FIG. 1, the flow rate value Q is determined by the water supply pressure and the opening degree of the flow rate adjustment valve 90.

  The flow sensor 150 is disposed on the downstream side (can body side) of the distribution valve 80. Therefore, the flow value Q detected by the flow sensor 150 indicates the flow rate (can flow rate) passing through the heating unit 20 stored in the can body 10.

  When the operation command of the hot water supply system 100 is turned on, the controller 300 turns on the combustion operation in the can body 10 when the flow value Q detected by the flow sensor 150 exceeds the MOQ (minimum operating flow value). When the combustion operation is turned on, the original gas solenoid valve 32 is opened, and the supply of fuel gas to the gas burner 30 is started.

  As understood from FIG. 1, the flow rate adjusting valve 90 is inserted and connected to a water passage that passes from the water inlet pipe 50 through the can body 10 to the hot water outlet pipe 70. The flow sensor 150 can detect the flow rate of “water” in the water passage. As shown in FIG. 1, even with the configuration in which the bypass pipe 60 is provided, the hot water flow rate from the flow rate adjustment valve 90 using the distribution ratio η determined by the opening degree of the distribution valve 80 and the value detected by the flow rate sensor 150. Can be identified.

[2. Explanation of terms]
Abbreviations such as temperatures used for hot water supply system 100 are shown in FIG. Each abbreviation will be described with reference to FIG.

  “Incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi” is a detected temperature of water entering the hot water supply system 100 and is detected by the temperature sensor 110. “Incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi” is a detected temperature of water entering the primary heat exchanger 11 and is detected by the temperature sensor 190. “Tapping water temperature (primary) Tdpo” is a detected temperature of water discharged from the primary heat exchanger 11 and is detected by the temperature sensor 120. “Tempered water temperature (0 m) Tdso” is a detected temperature of water (hot water) discharged from the hot water supply system 100 and is detected by the temperature sensor 130. The “hot-water supply set temperature Tsso” is a set temperature for water (hot water) discharged from the hot-water supply system 100, for example, set by the user and stored in the storage unit 304.

  The “distribution ratio η” represents the ratio of water that is sent to the hot water outlet pipe 70 via the bypass pipe 60 in the water that has entered the incoming pipe 50. The distribution ratio η is calculated according to the equation (1) in FIG. In the formula (1), the hot water supply set temperature Tsso, the tapping temperature (primary) Tdpo, and the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi are used.

  The “can body set temperature Tspo” is a set temperature for water (hot water) discharged from the primary heat exchanger 11 and corresponds to the set temperature with respect to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 120. As the “can body set temperature Tspo”, the lower one of the value (temperature) calculated according to the equation (2) in FIG. 2 and the value (temperature) calculated according to the equation (3) in FIG. Value is adopted.

  In Formula (2), the hot water supply preset temperature Tsso is used. The value α is a constant that is arbitrarily set, and is set by a user and / or an administrator, for example. The value α may be set before the hot water supply system 100 is shipped. In the formula (3), the hot water supply set temperature Tsso, the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi, and the distribution ratio η are used. “Η (max)” in FIG. 2 is a distribution ratio η when the state of the distribution valve 80 is adjusted to a state in which the amount of water fed from the water intake pipe 50 to the bypass pipe 60 is maximized. It is.

  “Required number Nd” is a numerical value (number) indicating the amount of heat required for the gas burner 30 and is calculated according to the equation (4). In the equation (4), the can set temperature Tspo and the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi are used. In this specification, the amount of heat (Kcal) generated by the combustion of the gas burner 30 in the hot water supply system 100 is indicated as “number”. The number = 1 corresponds to the amount of heat necessary to increase the hot water temperature at a predetermined temperature (for example, 25 ° C.) under a flow rate of 1 (L / min).

  The “flow rate value Q” is a flow rate of water passing through the heating unit 20 and is detected by the flow rate sensor 150.

[3. Configuration related to heating control in hot water system]
FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration related to control of heating by the gas burner 30 of the hot water supply system 100. FIG. 3 schematically shows the can 10 and the elements arranged in the water path before and after the can 10. That is, the water introduced from the water inlet pipe 50 is distributed to the path that directly enters the hot water outlet pipe 70 by the distribution valve 80 and the bypass pipe 60. A temperature sensor 110, a flow sensor 150, a secondary heat exchanger 21, a temperature sensor 190, a primary heat exchanger 11, a temperature sensor 120, and a temperature sensor 130 are sequentially arranged on the water path on the tap pipe 70. Yes.

  In FIG. 3, symbols representing the respective detection outputs are shown in the vicinity of the respective sensors. For example, in the vicinity of the temperature sensor 110, a character “Tdsi” representing “incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi” detected by the temperature sensor 110 is arranged. In the vicinity of the temperature sensor 120, a letter “Tspo” representing a set value (can body set temperature Tspo) for the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 120 is arranged together with parentheses. In the vicinity of the temperature sensor 130, a letter “Tsso” representing a set value (hot water supply set temperature Tsso) for the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 130 is arranged together with parentheses.

  The controller 300 acquires detection outputs of the temperature sensors 110, 190, 120, 130 and the flow sensor 150. The controller 300 adjusts the opening degree of the distribution valve 80 and the opening degree of the gas proportional valve 33.

[4. Environment by control in comparative example]
With reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in order to clarify the effect by the control of the hot water supply system 100, the control of the hot water supply system of the comparative example will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a method for calculating a can set temperature and a required number in a comparative example. As shown in Formula (5) in FIG. 4, in the comparative example, the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi is used instead of the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi for the calculation of the can body set temperature. In the comparative example, as shown in the equation (6), the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi is used instead of the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi for calculating the required number.

  As described with reference to FIG. 2 and the like, in the hot water supply system 100, the required number Nd is calculated using the detected temperature of the water that enters the primary heat exchanger 11 (the incoming temperature (primary) Tdpi). Is done. Thereby, the amount of heat supplied by the gas burner 30 is controlled according to the temperature of the water supplied to the primary heat exchanger 11 heated by the gas burner 30.

  On the other hand, the hot water supply system of the comparative example uses the detection output of the temperature sensor 110 instead of the detection output of the temperature sensor 190 as shown in the equation (5), that is, the incoming water temperature (primary), not the incoming water temperature (Tdpi), (Secondary) The required number Nd is calculated using Tdsi.

  The water whose temperature is detected by the temperature sensor 190 needs to pass through the secondary heat exchanger 21 before reaching the primary heat exchanger 11. That is, it takes a certain amount of time for the water whose temperature is detected by the temperature sensor 190 to reach the primary heat exchanger 11. When water having a temperature significantly different from the temperature of the water that has been supplied to the inlet pipe 50 has started to be supplied, the temperature of the water that enters the primary heat exchanger 11 is detected by the temperature sensor 190. There may be a delay until the temperature corresponds to the required number Nd calculated according to the output.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the temperature delay as described above. In the graph 500 of FIG. 5, five lines L1 to L5 are shown.

  Line L1 represents the can body set temperature Tspo. Line L2 represents the tapping temperature (primary) Tdpo.

  Line L3 represents the distribution ratio η. In the graph 500, only the numerical value of the distribution ratio η represents a value according to the scale on the right axis. In the graph 500, numerical values other than the distribution ratio η represent values (temperatures) according to the scale on the left axis.

  Line L4 represents the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi. Line L5 represents the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi.

  In the example of FIG. 5, at the line L5, the value of the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi rapidly increases from the point P1 (the time “about 35 seconds” in the graph 500). On the other hand, as indicated by the line L4, the value of the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi increases as the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi rises, but even after nearly 2 minutes have passed since the point P1 (in the graph 500). Even at the time “150 seconds”, it does not catch up with the value of the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi. In other words, the increase in the value of the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi is delayed with respect to the increase in the value of the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi.

  As shown by the line L1, the can body set temperature Tspo decreases at the point P2. The decrease in the can body set temperature Tspo is due to the change in the can body set temperature Tspo corresponding to the increase in the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi at the point P1. The required number decreases as the can body set temperature Tspo decreases. As described above, the increase in the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi indicated by the line L4 is greatly delayed with respect to the increase in the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi.

  The required number Nd decreases as the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi increases (equation (4)). Therefore, although the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi is low, the required water number (secondary) Tdsi is increased, so that the required number Nd is reduced, and thereby the combustion of the gas burner 30 is prohibited (stopped). The Accordingly, in the example shown in FIG. 5, after the time corresponding to the point P2, the can body hot water temperature Tdpo (line L2) continues to decrease, and a situation (undershoot) in which the hot water supply set temperature cannot be reached occurs. .

  On the other hand, the hot water supply system 100 of the present embodiment uses the detection output of the temperature sensor 190 instead of the detection output of the temperature sensor 110, that is, at the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi, as shown in FIG. Without using the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi, the required number Nd is calculated. As a result, the required number Nd corresponding to the temperature of the water entering the primary heat exchanger 11 is calculated, and the combustion (thermal power) of the gas burner 30 is controlled according to the required number Nd. Therefore, the hot water supply system 100 can prevent the undershoot as described with reference to FIG.

[5. Process flow in hot water system]
(Heating control)
With reference to FIG. 6, the control of the combustion of the gas burner 30 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a process for controlling the combustion of the gas burner 30 in the hot water supply system 100. In the hot water supply system 100, for example, the CPU 301 executes a given program, thereby realizing the processing shown in FIG. For example, the CPU 301 executes the above program at predetermined time intervals.

  In step S10, the CPU 301 reads the detected values of the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi and the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi.

  In step S12, the CPU 301 calculates the required number Nd using the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi and the incoming water temperature (primary) Tdpi read in step S10. The request number Nd is calculated, for example, according to Equation (4).

  In step S14, the CPU 301 adjusts the opening of the gas proportional valve 33 in order to realize the thermal power corresponding to the required number Nd calculated in step S12. Thereafter, the CPU 301 ends the process of FIG.

(Distribution control)
With reference to FIG. 7, control of the opening degree of the distribution valve 80 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a process for controlling the opening degree of the distribution valve 80. The processing in FIG. 7 is realized by the CPU 301 executing a given program, for example. CPU301 performs the process of FIG. 7, for example for every predetermined time.

  In step S20, CPU 301 reads the detection output of incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi and outgoing hot water temperature (primary) Tdpo.

  In step S22, the CPU 301 calculates the distribution ratio η using the incoming water temperature (secondary) Tdsi and the outgoing hot water temperature (primary) Tdpo read in step S20.

  In step S24, the CPU 301 controls the opening degree of the distribution valve 80 according to the distribution ratio η calculated in step S22 to adjust the flow rate of the inlet pipe 50. For example, the opening degree of the distribution valve 80 varies depending on the degree of rotation of the stepping motor. The CPU 301 adjusts the opening degree of the distribution valve 80 by rotating the stepping motor according to the distribution ratio η. Thereafter, the CPU 301 ends the process of FIG.
