本発明は、給湯器や湯沸し器等の種々の機器に採用されるプレート式熱交換器に関する。   The present invention relates to a plate heat exchanger employed in various devices such as a water heater and a water heater.

従来から、熱交換媒体と被熱交換媒体とを熱交換させる熱交換器の一つとして、給湯器や湯沸かし器等の種々の機器に採用されるプレート式熱交換器が知られている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as one of heat exchangers that exchange heat between a heat exchange medium and a heat exchange medium, plate-type heat exchangers that are employed in various devices such as a water heater and a water heater are known.

かかるプレート式熱交換器は、表裏両面に複数の凸条及び凹条が交互に形成された伝熱部を有する複数の伝熱プレートを備え、該複数の伝熱プレートが伝熱部同士を対向させて積層され、各伝熱部を境にして、熱湯や蒸気等の熱交換媒体を流通させる第一空間と水や湯等の被熱交換媒体を流通させる第二空間とが交互に形成されている。   Such a plate heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat transfer plates having heat transfer portions in which a plurality of ridges and recesses are alternately formed on both front and back surfaces, and the plurality of heat transfer plates face each other. The first space through which the heat exchange medium such as hot water and steam circulates and the second space through which the heat exchange medium such as water and hot water circulates alternately with each heat transfer section as a boundary. ing.

かかるプレート式熱交換器は、隣接する伝熱部の凸条同士を交差衝合させる(凸条同士を部分的に接触させる)ようにして複数の伝熱プレートが積層されている。これにより、各伝熱プレートの間隔を所定の間隔に保って伝熱プレート間に第一空間及び第二空間を形成するようにしている。   In such a plate heat exchanger, a plurality of heat transfer plates are laminated so that the protrusions of the adjacent heat transfer portions cross each other (the protrusions are partially in contact with each other). Accordingly, the first space and the second space are formed between the heat transfer plates while keeping the interval between the heat transfer plates at a predetermined interval.

そして、上記構成のプレート式熱交換器は、伝熱部の表裏両面に複数の凸条及び凹条を形成することで、伝熱面積を広くするとともに、熱交換媒体、及び被熱交換媒体の流れに乱れを与えつつ熱交換媒体、及び被熱交換媒体を流通させるようになっている。   And the plate-type heat exchanger having the above-described structure forms a plurality of ridges and ridges on both the front and back surfaces of the heat transfer section, thereby widening the heat transfer area, the heat exchange medium, and the heat exchange medium. The heat exchange medium and the heat exchange medium are circulated while disturbing the flow.

これにより、上記構成のプレート式熱交換器は、熱交換媒体と被熱交換媒体との間での熱の移動の機会を増やすことができるため、小型でも高効率な熱交換を行えるとして、給湯器や湯沸し器等の種々の機器に採用されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。

As a result, the plate heat exchanger having the above configuration can increase the chance of heat transfer between the heat exchange medium and the heat exchange medium. It is employed in various devices such as a water heater and a water heater (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2005-326074 A

ところで、前記プレート式熱交換器は、上述の如く、第一空間に熱交換媒体として純粋な熱湯や蒸気等を流通させる一方で、第二空間に水や湯等の被熱交換媒体を流通させるように構成されているが、例えば、浴槽の湯の追い焚き用の熱交換器等に採用される場合、第二空間に湯垢や髪の毛等の不純物を含む浴槽内の湯が被熱交換媒体として流通するため、凸条同士が衝合する部位に不純物が堆積してしまい、被熱交換媒体の流通が阻害されてしまうといった問題があった。   By the way, as described above, the plate type heat exchanger distributes pure hot water, steam or the like as a heat exchange medium in the first space, and distributes a heat exchange medium such as water or hot water in the second space. For example, when it is employed in a heat exchanger for reheating hot water in a bathtub, the hot water in the bathtub containing impurities such as scale and hair in the second space is used as the heat exchange medium. Since it circulates, there is a problem that impurities are deposited at the site where the ridges meet each other, and the circulation of the heat exchange medium is hindered.

すなわち、上記プレート式熱交換器は、第二空間が互いの凸条同士を交差衝合させた伝熱部間に形成されているため、凸条同士が衝合する部位の上流側に髪の毛等の繊維が引っ掛かったり、凸条同士が衝合する部位の下流側に被熱交換媒体が澱む領域が形成され、その領域に湯垢等の不純物が経時的に蓄積されたりして、その蓄積した不純物が第二空間を詰まらせてしまうといった問題があった。   That is, in the plate heat exchanger, since the second space is formed between the heat transfer portions in which the protrusions cross each other, the hair or the like on the upstream side of the portion where the protrusions abut each other The area where the heat exchange medium stagnates is formed on the downstream side of the part where the fibers are caught or the protrusions meet, and impurities such as scale accumulate over time, and the accumulated impurities Had the problem of clogging the second space.

このように第二空間内に蓄積した不純物を除去するのに、第二空間に洗浄水を流通させて洗浄することも考えられるが、凸条同士が衝合する部位や蓄積した不純物が洗浄水の流通を阻害してしまう結果、不純物を除去することができず、第二空間が詰まってしまうことが余儀なくされている。   In order to remove impurities accumulated in the second space in this way, it is conceivable to wash the second space by flowing cleaning water, but the portion where the protrusions collide with each other and the accumulated impurities are washed water. As a result, the impurities cannot be removed and the second space is obstructed.

そこで、本発明は、斯かる実情に鑑み、不純物を含んだ被熱交換媒体を流通させても該不純物が堆積することなく、被熱交換媒体の流通性を確保して効率の良い熱交換を行うことのでき、被熱交換媒体に含まれる不純物の蓄積される領域を形成することなく、複数の伝熱プレートを適正な配置にすることのできるプレート式熱交換器を提供することを課題とする。 Accordingly, in view of such circumstances, the present invention ensures the flowability of the heat exchange medium without causing the impurities to accumulate even when the heat exchange medium containing impurities is circulated, and performs efficient heat exchange. it can of performing, without forming a region to be accumulated impurities contained in a heat exchange medium, challenge to provide a plate heat exchanger capable of a plurality of heat transfer plates in proper placement And

本発明に係るプレート式熱交換器は、 表裏両面に複数の凸条及び凹条が交互に形成された伝熱部を有する複数の伝熱プレートを備え、該複数の伝熱プレートが伝熱部同士を対向させて積層され、各伝熱部を境にして熱交換媒体を流通させる第一空間と被熱交換媒体を流通させる第二空間とが交互に形成されたプレート式熱交換器において、前記第一空間は、互いの凸条同士を交差衝合させた伝熱部間に形成される一方、第二空間は、凸条及び凹条の形成された領域同士が非接触の伝熱部間に形成され、各伝熱プレートは、前記伝熱部の外周の全周から該伝熱部の一方面側に延出した嵌合部と、該嵌合部の先端から外方に向けて延出した鍔部とを備えるとともに鍔部を部分的に隆起させて形成された複数の支持部が鍔部の周方向に間隔をあけて設けられ、隣接する伝熱プレートのうちの一方の伝熱プレートの複数の支持部は、他方の伝熱プレートの支持部間に対応した位置に形成されて該他方の伝熱プレートの鍔部を支持し、第二空間を形成する伝熱部の凸条及び凹条の形成された領域同士を非接触で維持させるように構成され、隣接する伝熱プレートの嵌合部同士が嵌合状態でロウ付けされて伝熱部間が封止されていることを特徴する。
The plate heat exchanger according to the present invention includes a plurality of heat transfer plates having heat transfer portions in which a plurality of ridges and recesses are alternately formed on both front and back surfaces, and the plurality of heat transfer plates are heat transfer portions. In the plate type heat exchanger in which the first space for circulating the heat exchange medium and the second space for circulating the heat exchange medium are alternately formed with each other facing and stacked, with each heat transfer section as a boundary, The first space is formed between the heat transfer portions where the protrusions cross each other, while the second space is a heat transfer portion in which the regions where the protrusions and the recesses are formed are not in contact with each other. Each heat transfer plate is formed between a fitting portion extending from the entire circumference of the outer periphery of the heat transfer portion to one surface side of the heat transfer portion, and outward from the tip of the fitting portion. Rutotomoni a extending therefrom has a flange portion, a plurality of supporting portions formed a flange portion partially is uplift intervals in the circumferential direction of the flange portion The plurality of support portions of one of the adjacent heat transfer plates are formed at positions corresponding to the support portions of the other heat transfer plate, and the flange portion of the other heat transfer plate Is configured to maintain the protrusions and recesses of the heat transfer portion forming the second space in a non-contact manner, and the fitting portions of the adjacent heat transfer plates are in a fitted state. It is characterized in that the heat transfer part is sealed by brazing.

上記プレート式熱交換器によれば、前記第一空間が、互いの凸条同士を交差衝合させた伝熱部間に形成されるので、第一空間において、凸条及び凹条の凹凸形状や凸条同士の衝合する部位の存在で熱交換媒体の流れに適度な乱れを与えつつ該熱交換媒体を流通させることができ、該熱交換媒体の熱が伝熱プレート(伝熱部)に対して効率よく伝わることになる。他方、第二空間は、凸条及び凹条の形成された領域同士が非接触の伝熱部間に形成されるので、伝熱部同士が部分的に接触する部位、すなわち、不純物が堆積する原因となる部位が存在せず、不純物を含むような被熱交換媒体であっても該不純物を堆積させることなく円滑に流通させることができる。   According to the plate heat exchanger, since the first space is formed between the heat transfer portions in which the protrusions cross each other, the uneven shape of the protrusions and the recesses in the first space. The heat exchange medium can be circulated while giving an appropriate disturbance to the flow of the heat exchange medium due to the presence of the portions where the protrusions and the ridges meet, and the heat of the heat exchange medium is transferred to a heat transfer plate (heat transfer part) Will be transmitted efficiently. On the other hand, in the second space, the regions where the ridges and the ridges are formed are formed between the non-contact heat transfer portions, so that the portions where the heat transfer portions partially contact, that is, impurities accumulate. Even a heat exchange medium that does not have a causative site and contains impurities can be smoothly distributed without depositing the impurities.

そして、第二空間を形成する伝熱部においても凸条及び凹条が形成されているため、伝熱面積を広くすることができる上に、凸条及び凹条の凹凸形状で被熱交換媒体の流れに適度な乱れを与えつつ該被熱交換媒体を流通させることができ、第一空間内を流通する熱交換媒体との熱交換を伝熱部を介して効率的に行うことができる。また、各伝熱プレートは、前記伝熱部の外周の全周から該伝熱部の一方面側に延出した嵌合部と、該嵌合部の先端から外方に向けて延出した鍔部とを備えるとともに鍔部を部分的に隆起させて形成された複数の支持部が鍔部の周方向に間隔をあけて設けられ、隣接する伝熱プレートのうちの一方の伝熱プレートの複数の支持部は、他方の伝熱プレートの支持部間に対応した位置に形成されて該他方の伝熱プレートの鍔部を支持し、第二空間を形成する伝熱部の凸条及び凹条の形成された領域同士を非接触で維持させるように構成され、隣接する伝熱プレートの嵌合部同士が嵌合状態でロウ付けされて伝熱部間が封止されているため、第二空間内に不純物を堆積させる原因となる部位を形成することなく、第二空間を形成する伝熱部(伝熱プレート)を適正に配置することができる。特に、当該プレート式熱交換器を作製するにあたり、伝熱プレートを積層するだけで各伝熱プレートを適切に位置決めすることができ、製作効率の観点においても非常に有効である。
And since the ridges and ridges are formed also in the heat transfer section forming the second space, the heat transfer area can be widened, and the heat exchange medium has the ridge and ridge irregular shapes. The heat exchange medium can be circulated while giving an appropriate turbulence to the flow, and heat exchange with the heat exchange medium flowing in the first space can be efficiently performed via the heat transfer section. In addition, each heat transfer plate extends from the entire circumference of the outer periphery of the heat transfer portion to one surface side of the heat transfer portion, and extends outward from the tip of the fit portion. Rutotomoni a flange portion, a plurality of supporting portions formed a flange portion partially is raised are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the flange portion, one of the heat transfer of the adjacent heat transfer plates The plurality of support portions of the plate are formed at positions corresponding to the support portions of the other heat transfer plate to support the flange portion of the other heat transfer plate and form the second space. And the regions where the concave stripes are formed are maintained in a non-contact manner, and the fitting portions of the adjacent heat transfer plates are brazed in a fitted state and the heat transfer portions are sealed. The heat transfer part (heat transfer process) that forms the second space without forming a site that causes impurities to accumulate in the second space. Over door) can be properly placed. In particular, in manufacturing the plate heat exchanger, each heat transfer plate can be appropriately positioned by simply stacking the heat transfer plates, which is very effective from the viewpoint of manufacturing efficiency.

以上のように、本発明に係るプレート式熱交換器によれば、不純物を含んだ被熱交換媒体を流通させても流路が詰まることなく、熱交換媒体と被熱交換媒体との間で高効率な熱交換を行うことができ、また、被熱交換媒体に含まれる不純物の蓄積される領域を形成することなく、複数の伝熱プレートを適正な配置にすることができるという優れた効果を奏し得る。 As described above, according to the plate heat exchanger according to the present invention, the flow path is not clogged even when the heat exchange medium containing impurities is circulated, and the heat exchange medium and the heat exchange medium are not clogged. Excellent effect of being able to perform highly efficient heat exchange and arranging a plurality of heat transfer plates appropriately without forming a region where impurities contained in the heat exchange medium are accumulated Can be played.

前記伝熱部100は、表裏両面に複数の凸条20…及び凹条21…が交互に形成されている。前記凸条20…及び凹条21…は、該伝熱部100の長手方向の中心線(基準線)に対して傾斜状態で延びるように形成されている。本実施形態において、凸条20…及び凹条21…は、中心線を境に、伝熱部100の短手方向の一端側の領域と、伝熱部100の短手方向の他端側の領域とで鏡像状態をなすように形成され、平面視において、いわゆる、ヘリングボーン形状(魚の骨形状)を呈し、断面において波形状を呈している。なお、伝熱部100は、上述の如く、プレス成形によって形成されたものであるため、一方の面の凸条20…の裏面(他方の面)は凹条21…となり、一方の面の凹条21…の裏面は凸条20…となっている。   In the heat transfer section 100, a plurality of ridges 20 and 21 are formed alternately on the front and back surfaces. The ridges 20 and the ridges 21 are formed to extend in an inclined state with respect to the center line (reference line) in the longitudinal direction of the heat transfer section 100. In the present embodiment, the ridges 20 ... and the ridges 21 ... are located on one end side in the short direction of the heat transfer section 100 and on the other end side in the short direction of the heat transfer section 100 with the center line as a boundary. It is formed so as to form a mirror image with the region, and has a so-called herringbone shape (fish bone shape) in a plan view and a wave shape in a cross section. Since the heat transfer section 100 is formed by press molding as described above, the back surface (the other surface) of the ridges 20 on one surface becomes the ridges 21. The reverse side of the strip 21 is a convex strip 20.

図1及び図2に戻り、前記嵌合部101は、伝熱プレート10a,10b…同士を積層した状態で、隣接する伝熱プレート10a,10b…の嵌合部101に嵌合できるように形成され、該嵌合部101,101同士がロウ付けされることにより、前記伝熱部100,100間(第一空間A及び第二空間B)を封止できるようになっている   1 and 2, the fitting portion 101 is formed so that it can be fitted to the fitting portions 101 of the adjacent heat transfer plates 10a, 10b ... in a state where the heat transfer plates 10a, 10b ... are stacked. Then, the fitting portions 101, 101 are brazed to each other so that the space between the heat transfer portions 100, 100 (first space A and second space B) can be sealed.

前記鍔部102は、伝熱プレート10a,10bの外周の全周に設けられており、伝熱部100の面方向と同方向に延出し、積層された他の伝熱プレート10a,10b…の鍔部102と対向するように形成されている。そして、該鍔部102には、積層されて隣接する伝熱プレート10a,10b…の鍔部102を支持する支持部103…が形成されている。該支持部103…は、鍔部102を部分的に隆起させて形成されている。   The said flange part 102 is provided in the perimeter of the outer periphery of heat-transfer plate 10a, 10b, and it extends in the same direction as the surface direction of the heat-transfer part 100, and is the other heat-transfer plate 10a, 10b ... laminated | stacked.

The support part 103 may be provided in 10a, and only the collar part 102 supported by this support part 103 may be provided in the other heat transfer plate 10b. However, in order to increase the overall rigidity of the plate heat exchanger 1, it is preferable to provide the support portions 103 on the heat transfer plates 10a and 10b as in the present embodiment.

本実施形態に係るプレート式熱交換器1は、図2(a)及び(b)に示す如く、伝熱部100の四隅の開口12,12,13,13のうち、該伝熱部100の長手方向の一端側で短手方向の一端側の開口12…が連なって熱交換媒体流入路A1が形成され、伝熱部100の長手方向の他端側で短手方向の他端側の開口12…が連なって熱交換媒体流出路A2が形成されている。また、伝熱部100の四隅の開口12,12,13,13のうち、該伝熱部100の長手方向の他端側で短手方向の一端側の開口13…が連なって被熱交換媒体流入路B1が形成され、伝熱部100の長手方向の一端側で短手方向の他端側の開口13…が連なって被熱交換媒体流出路B2が形成されている。これにより、該プレート式熱交換器1は、図5(a)及び(b)に示す如く、第一空間A及び第二空間B内で斜傾流を形成するようになっている。   As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the plate heat exchanger 1 according to the present embodiment includes the heat transfer unit 100 among the openings 12, 12, 13, and 13 at the four corners of the heat transfer unit 100. An opening 12 on one end side in the short direction is connected to one end side in the longitudinal direction to form a heat exchange medium inflow passage A1, and an opening on the other end side in the short direction on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the heat transfer section 100. 12 are connected to form a heat exchange medium outflow path A2.

An inflow path B1 is formed, and an opening 13 on the other end side in the short direction is connected to one end side in the longitudinal direction of the heat transfer section 100 to form a heat exchange medium outflow path B2. As a result, the plate heat exchanger 1 forms a diagonally inclined flow in the first space A and the second space B as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b).

各伝熱プレート10a,10bの基本構成は以上の通りであるが、二種類の伝熱プレート10a,10bのうち、一方の伝熱プレート10aは、図3(a)に示す如く、長手方向の一端側で短手方向の一端側の開口12の周辺部と、長手方向の他端側で短手方向の他端側の開口12の周辺部とが、伝熱部100の他方面(図において手前側)側に膨出(凸出)して形成され、長手方向の一端側で短手方向の他端側の開口13の周辺部と、長手方向の他端側で短手方向の一端側の開口13の周辺部とが、伝熱部100の他方面側で凹む(一方面側に膨出(凸出)する)ように形成されている。なお、図3において波線のハッチングを付した領域が、紙面に対して手前側に凸をなし、斜めのハッチングを付した領域が、紙面に対して奥側に凹をなしている。   The basic configuration of each of the heat transfer plates 10a and 10b is as described above. Of the two types of heat transfer plates 10a and 10b, one heat transfer plate 10a has a longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. The peripheral portion of the opening 12 on one end side in the short side direction on one end side and the peripheral portion of the opening 12 on the other end side in the short side direction on the other end side in the longitudinal direction are the other side of the heat transfer unit 100 (in the drawing) It is formed by bulging (protruding) toward the front side, and has a peripheral portion of the opening 13 on the other end side in the short direction on one end side in the longitudinal direction, and one end side in the short direction on the other end side in the longitudinal direction The peripheral portion of the opening 13 is formed so as to be recessed on the other surface side of the heat transfer portion 100 (bulge (protrude) on one surface side). In FIG. 3, the wavy hatched area is convex on the front side of the paper, and the diagonally hatched area is concave on the back side of the paper.

他方の伝熱プレート10bは、図3(b)に示す如く、長手方向の一端側で短手方向の一端側の開口12の周辺部と、長手方向の他端側で短手方向の他端側の開口12の周辺部とが、伝熱部100の他方面側で凹む(一方面側に膨出(凸出)する)ように形成され、長手方向の一端側で短手方向の他端側の開口13の周辺部と、長手方向の他端側で短手方向の一端側の開口13の周辺部が、伝熱部100の他方面(図において手前側)側に膨出(凸出)して形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 3B, the other heat transfer plate 10b includes a peripheral portion of the opening 12 on one end side in the short direction on one end side in the longitudinal direction and the other end in the short direction on the other end side in the longitudinal direction. The peripheral portion of the opening 12 on the side is formed so as to be recessed on the other surface side of the heat transfer portion 100 (bulge (protrude) on one surface side), and the other end in the short direction on one end side in the longitudinal direction. The peripheral portion of the opening 13 on the side and the peripheral portion of the opening 13 on the one end side in the short side direction on the other end side in the longitudinal direction are bulged (protruded) to the other surface (front side in the drawing) side of the heat transfer unit 100. ).

これにより、二種類の伝熱プレート10a,10bを積層した状態で、対向する伝熱部100,100の開口12,12,13,13の凸出した周辺部同士が密接し、各伝熱プレート10a,10bの伝熱部100の長手方向の一端側で短手方向の一端側にある開口12が連なって、第一空間Aにのみ連通する熱交換媒体流入路A1となり、長手方向の他端側で短手方向の他端側にある開口12が連なって、第一空間Aにのみ連通する熱交換媒体流入路A1となる一方、伝熱部100の長手方向の他端側で短手方向の一端側の開口13が連なって、第二空間Bにのみ連通する被熱交換媒体流入路B1となり、伝熱部100の長手方向の一端側で短手方向の他端側の開口13が連なって、第二空間Bにのみ連通する被熱交換媒体流出路B2になるようになっている(図2(a)及び(b)参照)。   Thereby, in the state which laminated | stacked two types of heat-transfer plates 10a and 10b, the protruding peripheral part of the opening 12, 12, 13, 13 of the opposing heat-transfer parts 100 and 100 closely_contact | adheres, and each heat-transfer plate The opening 12 on one end side in the short direction is connected to one end side in the longitudinal direction of the heat transfer section 100 of 10a and 10b to form a heat exchange medium inflow passage A1 that communicates only with the first space A, and the other end in the longitudinal direction. On the other hand, the opening 12 on the other end side in the short direction is continuous to form the heat exchange medium inflow passage A1 that communicates only with the first space A, while the short direction on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the heat transfer unit 100 The one end side opening 13 is connected to form a heat exchange medium inflow passage B1 communicating only with the second space B, and the one end side in the longitudinal direction of the heat transfer section 100 is connected to the opening 13 on the other end side in the short direction. Thus, the heat exchange medium outflow path B2 communicated only with the second space B. It has manner (see FIG. 2 (a) and (b)).

上述のように、基本構成が同一で開口12,13の周辺部の凹凸態様を異にする二種類の伝熱プレート10a,10bを採用することを前提に、本実施形態に係るプレート式熱交換器1は、図6に示す如く、上層側から下層側に向けて同種の伝熱プレート10a,10bを積層順に伝熱部100の面上において180°反転させるようにして、二種類の伝熱プレート10a,10bを交互に積層されている。   As described above, the plate-type heat exchange according to this embodiment is based on the assumption that the two basic types of heat transfer plates 10a and 10b having the same basic configuration and different irregularities in the peripheral portions of the openings 12 and 13 are employed. As shown in FIG. 6, the apparatus 1 has two types of heat transfer by reversing the same kind of heat transfer plates 10 a and 10 b from the upper layer side to the lower layer side by 180 ° on the surface of the heat transfer unit 100 in the stacking order. Plates 10a and 10b are alternately stacked.

これにより、一方の伝熱プレート10aの一方面側と他方の伝熱プレート10bの他方面側(対向した伝熱部100)の凸条20…同士が交差衝合した態様となり、図7(a)に示す如く、伝熱部100が部分的に接触した領域と、図7(b)に示す如く、伝熱部100同士が非接触の領域とを有する第一空間Aが形成される。そして、図4に示す如く、一方の伝熱プレート10aの支持部103が、他方の伝熱プレート10aの鍔部102を支持する結果、プレート式熱交換器1の内部において、図7(a)及び(b)に示す如く、他方の伝熱プレート10bの他方面(伝熱部100の凸条20…及び凹条21…の形成された領域)と一方の伝熱プレート10aの一方面(伝熱部100の凸条20…及び凹条21…の形成された領域)とが全領域に亘って非接触で対向し、該領域(伝熱部100,100)間に第二空間Bが形成される。   Accordingly, the protrusions 20 on the one surface side of the one heat transfer plate 10a and the other surface side (opposing heat transfer portion 100) of the other heat transfer plate 10b cross each other, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 7B, a first space A having a region where the heat transfer units 100 are partially in contact and a region where the heat transfer units 100 are not in contact with each other is formed as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the support portion 103 of one heat transfer plate 10a supports the flange portion 102 of the other heat transfer plate 10a. As a result, in the plate heat exchanger 1, FIG. And as shown in (b), the other surface of the other heat transfer plate 10b (the region where the protrusions 20 ... and the recesses 21 ... of the heat transfer section 100 are formed) and one surface of one heat transfer plate 10a (the heat transfer plate). The areas where the ridges 20 ... and the ridges 21 ... of the heat section 100 are formed in a non-contact manner across the entire area, and a second space B is formed between the areas (heat transfer sections 100, 100). Is done.

本実施形態においては、二種類の伝熱プレート10a,10bの凸条20…、凹条21…の形状、配置、及びサイズを同一に設定しているため、第二空間Bを形成する伝熱部100,100は、凸条20…及び凹条21同士が略平行をなし、一方の伝熱プレート10aの凹条21に他方の伝熱プレート10bの凸条20を対向させた態様をなしている。また、支持部103の高さ(鍔部102から隆起した高さ)設定により、第二空間Bを形成する伝熱部100,100は、非接触状態(所定の間隔)を維持しつつ一方の伝熱プレート10aの凹条21に他方の伝熱プレート10bの凸条20が入り込んだ態様をなしている。   In this embodiment, since the shape, arrangement | positioning, and size of the protruding item | line 20 ... of the two types of heat-transfer plates 10a and 10b, and the concave item 21 ... are set equally, the heat transfer which forms the 2nd space B is carried out. The portions 100, 100 are formed such that the ridges 20 ... and the ridges 21 are substantially parallel to each other, and the ridges 20 of the other heat transfer plate 10b are opposed to the ridges 21 of the one heat transfer plate 10a. Yes. Further, by setting the height of the support portion 103 (height raised from the flange portion 102), the heat transfer portions 100 and 100 forming the second space B are maintained in a non-contact state (predetermined interval). The convex strip 20 of the other heat transfer plate 10b enters the concave strip 21 of the heat transfer plate 10a.

なお、本実施形態に係るプレート式熱交換器1は、図1に示す如く、積層された状態で最も外側に位置する一方の伝熱プレート10aのみに、配管接続される筒状のノズル30a,30b,30c,30dを四隅部分の開口12,12,13,13の周辺部に接続したものを採用し、最も外側に位置する他方の伝熱プレート10bのみに開口12,12,13,13が形成されていないものを採用している。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the plate-type heat exchanger 1 according to the present embodiment has a cylindrical nozzle 30a that is pipe-connected to only one heat transfer plate 10a that is positioned on the outermost side in a stacked state. 30b, 30c, 30d is connected to the periphery of the openings 12, 12, 13, 13 at the four corners, and only the other heat transfer plate 10b located on the outermost side has the openings 12, 12, 13, 13 What is not formed is adopted.

そして、本実施形態に係るプレート式熱交換器1は、最も外側にある一方の伝熱プレート10aとこれに隣接する他方の伝熱プレート10b…との間に第一空間Aを形成し、最も外側にある他方の伝熱プレート10b…とこれに隣接する伝熱プレート10a…との間に第一空間Aを形成するように、上述の如く、複数の伝熱プレート10a,10b…が順々に積層されている。   And the plate type heat exchanger 1 which concerns on this embodiment forms the 1st space A between one heat-transfer plate 10a in the outermost side, and the other heat-transfer plate 10b ... adjacent to this, As described above, the plurality of heat transfer plates 10a, 10b,... Are sequentially formed so as to form the first space A between the other heat transfer plate 10b on the outside and the heat transfer plates 10a adjacent thereto. Are stacked.

そして、該プレート式熱交換器1は、積層状態にある伝熱プレート10a,10b…同士の接触する部位(第一空間Aを形成する伝熱部100の凸条20…同士、嵌合部101,101同士、開口12,12,13,13の周辺部同士)が溶着(ロウ付け)されることにより一体的に構成されている。なお、ロウ付けは、複数の伝熱プレート10a,10b…を積層するに当って伝熱プレート10a,10b…間に銅板(銅箔)等を介装しておき、これを全体的に加熱して溶かすことによって行われる。   And this plate-type heat exchanger 1 is the part (the protrusions 20 ... of the heat-transfer part 100 which forms the 1st space A, and the fitting part 101) where the heat-transfer plates 10a, 10b ... in a laminated state contact. , 101 and the peripheral portions of the openings 12, 12, 13, 13) are integrally formed by welding (brazing). In the brazing, when a plurality of heat transfer plates 10a, 10b,... Are laminated, a copper plate (copper foil) or the like is interposed between the heat transfer plates 10a, 10b, and the whole is heated. It is done by melting.

本実施形態に係るプレート式熱交換器1は、以上の構成からなり、次に、上記構成のプレート式熱交換器1の作動について、該プレート式熱交換器1を給湯器(追い炊き器)に採用した場合を一例にして説明する。   The plate-type heat exchanger 1 according to the present embodiment has the above-described configuration. Next, for the operation of the plate-type heat exchanger 1 having the above-described configuration, the plate-type heat exchanger 1 is replaced with a water heater (refresher). The case where it is adopted as an example will be described.

該プレート式熱交換器1は、熱交換媒体流入路A1のノズル30aが熱湯等の熱交換媒体Hを供給する配管に液密に接続される一方、熱交換媒体流出路A2のノズル30bが熱交換媒体Hを再加熱するための加熱源に繋がる配管に接続される。これにより、当該プレート式熱交換器1は、熱交換媒体Hの加熱循環経路の一部を構成することになる。   In the plate heat exchanger 1, the nozzle 30a of the heat exchange medium inflow path A1 is liquid-tightly connected to a pipe for supplying a heat exchange medium H such as hot water, while the nozzle 30b of the heat exchange medium outflow path A2 is heated. It is connected to piping connected to a heating source for reheating the exchange medium H. Thus, the plate heat exchanger 1 constitutes a part of the heating circulation path of the heat exchange medium H.

他方、被熱交換媒体流入路B1のノズル30cは、ポンプを介して浴槽に接続された往路配管に接続され、被熱交換媒体流出路B2のノズル30dは、浴槽に接続された復路配管に接続される。これにより、該プレート式熱交換器1は、浴槽内の水(湯)を循環させる循環経路の一部を構成することになる。   On the other hand, the nozzle 30c of the heat exchange medium inflow passage B1 is connected to the forward piping connected to the bathtub via the pump, and the nozzle 30d of the heat exchange medium outflow passage B2 is connected to the return piping connected to the bathtub. Is done. Thereby, this plate type heat exchanger 1 comprises a part of circulation path which circulates the water (hot water) in a bathtub.

そして、各循環経路で熱交換媒体H及び被熱交換媒体Cを循環させると、第一空間Aを流通する熱交換媒体Hと、第二空間Bを流通する被熱交換媒体Cとが、伝熱プレート10a,10b…(伝熱部100)を介して熱交換されることになる。この際、熱交換媒体Hは、対向する凸条20…及び凹条21…の存在で流れに適度な乱れを生じさせつつ、凸条20…同士の衝合した部位を躱すように迂曲して第一空間A内を流通し、該熱交換媒体Hの熱が効率よく伝熱部100に伝達される。   Then, when the heat exchange medium H and the heat exchange medium C are circulated through each circulation path, the heat exchange medium H flowing through the first space A and the heat exchange medium C flowing through the second space B are transmitted. Heat exchange is performed via the heat plates 10a, 10b (heat transfer unit 100). At this time, the heat exchanging medium H is bent so as to deface the abutted portions of the ridges 20 while causing a moderate turbulence in the flow due to the existence of the opposed ridges 20. The heat in the heat exchange medium H is efficiently transferred to the heat transfer unit 100 through the first space A.

他方、第二空間Bにおいては、第一空間Aとは異なり、対向する伝熱部100が非接触状態であるため、被熱交換媒体Cは、伝熱部100間を抜けるようにして(凸条20…及び凹条21…の形状に沿うように)、被熱交換媒体流入路B1から被熱交換媒体流出路B2に向けて流通し、伝熱プレート10a,10b…(伝熱部100)を介して伝わる熱交換媒体Hの熱を受け、熱交換媒体Hと被熱交換媒体Cとの熱交換が行われることになる。そして、湯垢等の不純物を含んだ浴槽内の湯が循環されたとしても、該被熱交換媒体Cを流通させる第二空間Bには、不純物を堆積させるように凸条20…の接触部分が存在しないため、第二空間B内に不純物が堆積されることなく、被熱交換媒体Cの循環が長期に亘って円滑に行われることになる。   On the other hand, in the second space B, unlike the first space A, since the opposing heat transfer units 100 are in a non-contact state, the heat exchange medium C passes between the heat transfer units 100 (convex). The heat transfer plates 10a, 10b,... (The heat transfer section 100) circulate from the heat exchange medium inflow path B1 toward the heat exchange medium outflow path B2. By receiving the heat of the heat exchange medium H transmitted through the heat exchange medium, the heat exchange between the heat exchange medium H and the heat exchange medium C is performed. And even if the hot water in the bathtub containing impurities such as scales is circulated, the contact portion of the ridges 20... Is deposited in the second space B through which the heat exchange medium C is circulated so as to deposit impurities. Since it does not exist, the heat exchange medium C can be circulated smoothly over a long period without depositing impurities in the second space B.

以上のように、本実施形態に係るプレート式熱交換器1は、第一空間Aが互いの凸条20…同士を接触させた伝熱部100,100間に形成されているので、第一空間Aにおいて、接触状態にある凸条20…の存在で熱交換媒体Hの流れに適度な乱れを与えつつ熱交換媒体Hを流通させることができ、該熱交換媒体Hの熱を伝熱プレート10a,10b…(伝熱部100)に対して効率よく熱が伝わることになる。その一方で、第二空間Bが非接触の状態の伝熱部100間に形成されているので、凸条20…同士が接触した部位、すなわち、不純物が堆積する原因となる部位が存在せず、不純物を含むような被熱交換媒体Cを第二空間B内で円滑に流通させることができる。   As described above, in the plate heat exchanger 1 according to the present embodiment, the first space A is formed between the heat transfer units 100 and 100 in which the protrusions 20 are brought into contact with each other. In the space A, the heat exchange medium H can be circulated while giving an appropriate disturbance to the flow of the heat exchange medium H due to the presence of the protruding ridges 20 in a contact state, and the heat of the heat exchange medium H is transferred to the heat transfer plate. Heat is efficiently transferred to 10a, 10b (heat transfer unit 100). On the other hand, since the second space B is formed between the heat transfer parts 100 in a non-contact state, there is no portion where the ridges 20 contact each other, that is, there is no portion that causes impurities to accumulate. The heat exchange medium C containing impurities can be smoothly circulated in the second space B.

そして、第二空間Bを形成する伝熱部100においても凸条20…及び凹条21…が形成されているため、伝熱面積を広くすることができる上に、凸条20…及び凹条21…の凹凸形状で被熱交換媒体Cの流れに適度な乱れを与えつつ被熱交換媒体Cを流通させることができ、第一空間A内を流通する熱交換媒体Hとの熱交換を伝熱部100を介して効率的に行うことができる。   And in the heat-transfer part 100 which forms the 2nd space B, since the protruding item | line 20 ... and the recessed item | line 21 ... are formed, in addition to being able to enlarge a heat-transfer area, the protruding item | line 20 ... The heat exchange medium C can be circulated while giving an appropriate disturbance to the flow of the heat exchange medium C with the uneven shape of 21..., And the heat exchange with the heat exchange medium H circulated in the first space A is transmitted. This can be done efficiently via the heat section 100.

また、各伝熱プレート10a,10b…は、前記伝熱部100の外周に鍔部102を備え、第二空間Bを形成する伝熱プレート10a…の一方の鍔部102に、第二空間Bを形成する相手方の伝熱プレート10b…の鍔部102を支持し、第二空間Bを形成すべく対向した伝熱部100同士を所定間隔で維持させる支持部103を設けるようにしたので、第二空間B内に不純物を堆積させる原因となる部位形成することなく、対向する伝熱部100の間隔を熱交換に好ましい間隔にすることができる。特に、当該プレート式熱交換器1を作成するにあたり、伝熱プレート10a,10b…を適切な位置に配置することができ、製作効率の観点においても非常に有効である。   Further, each of the heat transfer plates 10a, 10b,... Has a flange portion 102 on the outer periphery of the heat transfer portion 100, and the second space B is formed in one flange portion 102 of the heat transfer plate 10a, which forms the second space B. Is provided with a support portion 103 that supports the flange portion 102 of the other heat transfer plate 10b to form the second space B and maintains the heat transfer portions 100 facing each other to form the second space B at a predetermined interval. Without forming a site that causes impurities to accumulate in the two spaces B, the interval between the opposed heat transfer units 100 can be set to a preferable interval for heat exchange. In particular, in producing the plate heat exchanger 1, the heat transfer plates 10a, 10b,... Can be arranged at appropriate positions, which is very effective from the viewpoint of manufacturing efficiency.

前記凸条20…及び凹条21…は、基準線に対して傾斜状態で伸長し、該伸長方向と直交する方向に交互に形成された複数の凸条20…及び凹条21…で構成されているので、第一空間Aを形成する伝熱プレート10a,10bの一方を他方に対して180°反転させて積層することで、凸条20…同士を点接触させた状態にすることができる。   The ridges 20 ... and the ridges 21 ... are composed of a plurality of ridges 20 ... and ridges 21 ... which extend in an inclined state with respect to a reference line and are alternately formed in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction. Therefore, one of the heat transfer plates 10a and 10b forming the first space A is inverted by 180 ° with respect to the other and laminated, so that the ridges 20 can be brought into point contact with each other. .

尚、本発明のプレート式熱交換器は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々変更を加え得ることは勿論である。   The plate heat exchanger of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

上記実施形態において、プレート式熱交換器1を浴槽の湯を追い焚きするための熱交換器として説明したが、これに限定されるものではなく、前記プレート式熱交換器1は、非熱交換媒体Cを流通させる配管系(循環系)が、外部から何らかの不純物が入り込むような開放型であれば有効に機能する。もちろん、非熱交換媒体Cを流通させる配管系(循環系)が、外部から何ら不純物が入り込むことのない閉塞型の配管系等であっても採用できることは言うまでもない。   In the said embodiment, although the plate type heat exchanger 1 was demonstrated as a heat exchanger for chasing the hot water of a bathtub, it is not limited to this, The said plate type heat exchanger 1 is non-heat exchange. If the piping system (circulation system) through which the medium C circulates is an open type in which some impurities enter from the outside, it functions effectively. Of course, it is needless to say that the piping system (circulation system) through which the non-heat exchange medium C is circulated can be a closed piping system in which no impurities enter from the outside.

上記実施形態において、各伝熱プレート10a,10bの凸条20…、凹条21…の形状、配置、及びサイズを同一に設定し、非接触状態を維持しつつ対向する凹条21…に凸条20…が入り込んだ態様の伝熱部100間に第二空間Bを形成するようにしたが、これに限定されるものではなく、第二空間Bを形成する伝熱部100,100の凸条20…及び凹条21…の形成された領域同士が非接触となることを前提に、例えば、第二空間Bを形成する伝熱部100の凸条20…同士が対向するように、各伝熱部100の凸条20…及び凹条21を形成するようにしたり、第二空間Bを形成する伝熱部100の凸条20…同士が交差するように、各伝熱部100の凸条20…及び凹条21…を形成するようにしたりしてもよい。このようにしても、互いの凸条20…同士が非接触となるため、上記実施形態と同様の作用、効果を奏することができる。   In the said embodiment, the shape, arrangement | positioning, and size of the convex strip 20 ... of each heat-transfer plate 10a, 10b, the concave strip 21 ... are set equally, and it protrudes to the concave strip 21 ... which opposes maintaining a non-contact state. Although the second space B is formed between the heat transfer parts 100 in the form in which the strips 20 enter, the present invention is not limited to this, and the protrusions of the heat transfer parts 100 and 100 forming the second space B are not limited thereto. Assuming that the regions where the strips 20 and the concave strips 21 are formed are not in contact with each other, for example, the projections 20 of the heat transfer section 100 forming the second space B are opposed to each other.
