Description

本発明は、熱源機で生成された高温水を貯湯タンクに貯え、その高温水を負荷側に給湯する貯湯式給湯システムに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a hot water storage hot water supply system that stores hot water generated by a heat source device in a hot water storage tank and supplies the hot water to a load side.

貯湯式給湯システムにおいて、熱源機としてヒートポンプを用い、その水/冷媒熱交換器からの高温水の出湯配管と該水/冷媒熱交換器への低温水の給水配管との間に、複数の貯湯タンクを直列に接続(タンクを増設して複数個直列に接続する場合を含む)し、高温水の出湯配管に近い最上流の貯湯タンクから順次貯湯して行く構成とするとともに、最下流の貯湯タンクを給水用の貯湯タンクとし、その給水用貯湯タンクに、給水源からの給水管と上記水/冷媒熱交換器への低温水の給水配管とを接続した構成の貯湯式給湯システムが従来から知られている(特許文献1,2参照)。   In a hot water storage type hot water supply system, a heat pump is used as a heat source unit, and a plurality of hot water storages are provided between a hot water outlet pipe from the water / refrigerant heat exchanger and a low temperature water supply pipe to the water / refrigerant heat exchanger. The tanks are connected in series (including the case where a plurality of tanks are connected in series), and the hot water storage tank is connected to the hot water supply pipe near the hot water outlet piping. Conventionally, a hot water storage type hot water supply system having a structure in which a tank is used as a hot water storage tank, and a water supply pipe from a water supply source and a low temperature water supply pipe to the water / refrigerant heat exchanger are connected to the hot water storage tank. Known (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

一方、上記の如く、複数の貯湯タンクを直列に接続したシステムであっても、負荷側への給湯は、最上流の貯湯タンクの上部から出湯し、ミキシングバルブを介して所定温度の温水として給湯するものが多く、異なる2温度の温水を給湯可能にする場合、特許文献1に示されるように、最上流の貯湯タンクの上部から取り出した高温水を分岐し、一方は高温水のまま、他方はミキシングバルブで低温水と混合して温度を下げ、中温水または低温水として給湯する方式とするか、もしくは異なる2温度の温水を取り出し可能とした専用構造の貯湯タンクを使用するかのいずれかの方式を採っていた。   On the other hand, as described above, even in a system in which a plurality of hot water storage tanks are connected in series, hot water to the load side is discharged from the top of the uppermost hot water storage tank and supplied as hot water at a predetermined temperature via a mixing valve. When hot water of two different temperatures is allowed to be supplied, as shown in Patent Document 1, the hot water taken out from the upper part of the uppermost hot water storage tank is branched, and one of the hot water remains as the other, Either mix with low temperature water with a mixing valve to lower the temperature and supply hot water as medium or low temperature water, or use a dedicated hot water storage tank that can take out hot water at two different temperatures The method was adopted.

しかしながら、異なる2温度の温水を取り出す専用構造のタンクを用いた場合、シンプルな貯湯専用のタンクを用いたものに比べ、コスト高となるとともに、タンクを増設することが難しくなる等の課題があった。一方、特許文献1のように、最上流の貯湯タンクの上部から取り出した高温水を分岐し、個別に温度調整して2温度以上の温水を取り出す方式とした場合、シンプルな貯湯専用のタンクを用いて簡易に2温度以上の温水を取り出すことができるものの、この場合、常に最上流の貯湯タンクから高温水が出湯されることになるため、用途が確定されている所要量の高温水を確実に確保しながら、順次他の用途に給湯することが困難となる等の課題があった。   However, when using a tank with a dedicated structure that extracts hot water of two different temperatures, there are problems such as higher costs and difficulty in adding more tanks compared to using a tank dedicated to simple hot water storage. It was. On the other hand, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, when a method is used in which hot water taken out from the uppermost hot water storage tank is branched and temperature is individually adjusted to take out hot water of two or more temperatures, a simple tank dedicated to hot water storage is used. Although it is possible to easily extract hot water of two or more temperatures by using it, in this case, hot water is always discharged from the most upstream hot water storage tank. However, it is difficult to sequentially supply hot water for other purposes.

つまり、上記のシステムでは、最上流の貯湯タンクの上部から負荷側に高温水を出湯すると、出湯された高温水量と同等量の低温水が給水源から最下流の貯湯タンクの底部に給水され、その低温水と高温水との温度境界層が順次上流側の貯湯タンクへと移動してこととなり、その間に高温水と低温水とが混合して高温水の温度が徐々に低下していくことは避けられない。このため、例えば給食センターや食品加工工場等で使う貯湯式給湯システムのように、所要量の高温水を加熱殺菌用として確保しておかなければならないような用途に適用したとき、加熱殺菌用の高温水の取り出しができなくなる虞等の虞があった。   In other words, in the above system, when hot water is discharged from the top of the most upstream hot water storage tank to the load side, low-temperature water equivalent to the amount of hot water discharged is supplied from the water supply source to the bottom of the hot-water storage tank downstream. The temperature boundary layer between the low-temperature water and the high-temperature water moves to the upstream hot water storage tank, and the temperature of the high-temperature water gradually decreases as the high-temperature water and low-temperature water are mixed. Is inevitable. For this reason, when it is applied to a use where a required amount of high-temperature water must be secured for heat sterilization, such as a hot water storage hot water system used in a food service center or food processing factory, for example, There was a possibility that high temperature water could not be taken out.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、シンプルな貯湯専用のタンクを複数個用いて、用途の違いに応じた異なる2温度以上の温水を同時または個別に取り出しできるとともに、用途が特定された所要量の高温水を確実に確保しつつ給湯することができる構成が簡素で安価な貯湯式給湯システムを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and by using a plurality of simple tanks dedicated for hot water storage, hot water at two or more different temperatures can be taken out simultaneously or individually according to different uses. An object of the present invention is to provide a hot water storage type hot water supply system having a simple and inexpensive structure that can supply hot water while reliably securing a required amount of high-temperature water whose use is specified.

上記した課題を解決するために、本発明の貯湯式給湯システムは、以下の手段を採用している。
すなわち、本発明にかかる貯湯式給湯システムは、熱源機で生成された高温水を貯湯タンクに貯え、その高温水を順次負荷側に給湯可能とした貯湯式給湯システムにおいて、前記熱源機からの高温水の出湯配管と、前記熱源機への低温水の給水配管との間に、複数の前記貯湯タンクを接続配管によって直列に接続して配設し、その複数の貯湯タンク中の前記熱源機からの出湯配管に最も近い最上流の貯湯タンクを高温水の給湯用貯湯タンク、最下流の貯湯タンクを前記熱源機への給水用貯湯タンクとするとともに、前記最上流の給湯用貯湯タンクに高温水の給湯系が接続され、その下流側の1以上の前記貯湯タンクの上部に接続される前記接続配管に、ミキシングバルブを介して異なる温度の温水が給湯可能な1以上の給湯系が接続されていることを特徴する。
In order to solve the above-described problems, the hot water storage type hot water supply system of the present invention employs the following means.
That is, the hot water storage hot water supply system according to the present invention is a hot water storage hot water supply system in which high temperature water generated by a heat source device is stored in a hot water storage tank, and the high temperature water can be sequentially supplied to the load side. A plurality of the hot water storage tanks are connected in series by connecting pipes between a hot water supply pipe and a low-temperature water supply pipe to the heat source unit, and from the heat source units in the plurality of hot water storage tanks The hottest hot water storage tank closest to the hot water supply pipe is the hot water storage hot water storage tank, the downstream downstream hot water storage tank is the hot water storage tank for the heat source, and the uppermost hot water storage hot water tank is hot water. hot water supply system is connected, its the connection pipe connected to the top of one or more of the hot water storage tank of the downstream side, of different temperatures through the mixing valve hot water is connected to one or more of the hot water supply system capable of hot water It features that.

The most upstream hot water storage tank closest to the hot water supply piping from the heat source units in the hot water storage tanks is connected to the hot water supply hot water storage tank, and the most downstream hot water storage tank is used for water supply to the heat source unit. A hot water storage tank is connected to a hot water storage hot water tank, and hot water having different temperatures can be supplied to the upper part of one or more hot water storage tanks downstream of the hot water storage tank via a mixing valve. Since the above hot water supply systems are connected, hot water is supplied from the hottest hot water storage tank among the plurality of hot water storage tanks connected in series, and from one or more hot water storage tanks downstream thereof via a mixing valve Different temperature hot water By hot water, without using a two temperature extraction hot water storage tank only retrieves at least two different temperatures or hot water from the hot water storage type hot-water supply system 1 group simultaneously or individually, it can be hot water supply to the load side. In addition, by extracting medium-temperature and low-temperature water from one or more downstream hot water storage tanks via a mixing valve, the required amount of high-temperature water is stored in the hot water storage hot water storage tank while being stored in the downstream hot water storage tank. Hot water stored in the hot water can be supplied and consumed sequentially. Therefore, an inexpensive hot water storage system that can supply hot water at two or more different temperatures at the same time or separately by using multiple tanks with a simple structure dedicated to hot water storage without using a specially configured tank. In addition to providing a hot water supply system, it is possible to provide a hot water storage hot water supply system that can reliably secure a required amount of high-temperature water whose use is specified.

さらに、本発明の貯湯式給湯システムは、上記の貯湯式給湯システムにおいて、前記ミキシングバルブには、前記給水用貯湯タンクの底部に接続されている給水管から分岐された給水配管が接続されていることを特徴とする。   Furthermore, in the hot water storage hot water system according to the present invention, in the hot water storage hot water system described above, a water supply pipe branched from a water supply pipe connected to a bottom of the hot water storage tank is connected to the mixing valve. It is characterized by that.

本発明によれば、ミキシングバルブに、給水用貯湯タンクの底部に接続されている給水管から分岐された給水配管が接続されているため、下流側の貯湯タンクから負荷側に給湯する際、給水管から分岐された給水配管を経てミキシングバルブに低温水を供給し、設定温度の中温水又は低温水に調整して給湯することができる。従って、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンクに所要量の高温水を確保しつつ、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンクからの給湯とは独立して異なる温度の温水を同時または個別に取り出し、負荷側に給湯することができる。   According to the present invention, since the water supply pipe branched from the water supply pipe connected to the bottom of the hot water storage tank is connected to the mixing valve, when supplying hot water from the downstream hot water storage tank to the load side, Low temperature water is supplied to the mixing valve through a water supply pipe branched from the pipe, and hot water can be supplied by adjusting to a medium temperature water or a low temperature water at a set temperature. Therefore, while securing the required amount of high-temperature water in the hot water storage hot water tank, hot water at different temperatures is taken out simultaneously or separately from the hot water supply from the hot water storage hot water tank, and hot water is supplied to the load side. can do.

さらに、本発明の貯湯式給湯システムは、上述のいずれかの貯湯式給湯システムにおいて、最上流の前記給湯用貯湯タンクから高温水が給湯可能とされるとともに、その下流側の1以上の前記貯湯タンクから異なる温度の温水が給湯可能とされ、少なくとも異なる2温度以上の温水が同時または個別に給湯可能な構成とされていることを特徴とする。   Furthermore, the hot water storage hot water system of the present invention is the hot water storage hot water system according to any one of the above, wherein hot water can be supplied from the hot water storage hot water tank at the most upstream, and at least one of the hot water storages downstream thereof. Hot water of different temperatures can be supplied from the tank, and hot water of at least two different temperatures can be supplied simultaneously or individually.

本発明によれば、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンクから高温水が給湯可能とされるとともに、その下流側の1以上の貯湯タンクから異なる温度の温水が給湯可能とされ、少なくとも異なる2温度以上の温水が同時または個別に給湯可能な構成とされているため、貯湯専用のシンプルな構成の貯湯タンクを複数個直列に接続するだけで、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンクからの高温水の給湯と、下流側の1以上の貯湯タンクからの温度の異なる温水の給湯とにより、少なくとも異なる2温度以上の温水を同時または個別に給湯することができる。従って、専用構造となる高価な2温度取り出し用貯湯タンクを用いることなく、用途の違いに応じた異なる2温度以上の温水を同時または個別に取り出しできる貯湯式給湯システムを低コストで提供することができる。   According to the present invention, hot water can be supplied from the most hot water storage hot water storage tank, and hot water having different temperatures can be supplied from one or more hot water storage tanks downstream of the hot water storage tank. Since hot water can be supplied simultaneously or individually, it is possible to supply hot water from the hottest hot water storage tank by simply connecting multiple hot water storage tanks in a simple configuration dedicated to hot water storage in series. With hot water supply of different temperatures from one or more hot water storage tanks on the downstream side, hot water of at least two different temperatures can be supplied simultaneously or individually. Therefore, it is possible to provide a hot water storage type hot water supply system that can take out hot water at two or more different temperatures corresponding to different uses at the same time or individually without using an expensive two-temperature extraction hot water storage tank having a dedicated structure. it can.

さらに、本発明の貯湯式給湯システムは、上述のいずれかの貯湯式給湯システムにおいて、複数の前記貯湯タンクは、それぞれ同一構造の貯湯専用タンクとされていることを特徴とする。   Furthermore, the hot water storage type hot water supply system of the present invention is characterized in that, in any one of the hot water storage type hot water supply systems described above, the plurality of hot water storage tanks are respectively dedicated hot water storage tanks having the same structure.

本発明によれば、複数の貯湯タンクが、それぞれ同一構造の貯湯専用タンクとされているため、直列に接続される複数の貯湯タンクを、それぞれ既存のシンプルな構成の貯湯専用の同一構造のタンクによって構成することができる。従って、安価な同一構造の貯湯専用タンクを複数個用い、用途の違いに応じた異なる2温度以上の温水を同時または個別に取り出しできる貯湯式給湯システムを低コストで提供することができる。   According to the present invention, since a plurality of hot water storage tanks are respectively dedicated to hot water storage tanks having the same structure, a plurality of hot water storage tanks connected in series are tanks having the same structure dedicated to hot water storage having an existing simple structure. Can be configured. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a hot water storage type hot water supply system that uses a plurality of inexpensive dedicated hot water storage tanks that can take out hot water at two or more different temperatures at the same time or individually according to different uses at low cost.

以下に、本発明の一実施形態について、図1ないし図5を参照して説明する。
図1には、本発明の一実施形態に係る貯湯式給湯システムの構成図が示されている。
貯湯式給湯システム1は、低温水を加熱して高温水を生成するヒートポンプ、電気温水器、ボイラ等からなる熱源機2を備えている。この熱源機2は、貯湯ユニット3側から給水ポンプを介して供給された低温水を熱交換器、ヒータ2A等を介して加熱し、高温水として貯湯ユニット3側に循環させる構成とされたものであり、公知の熱源機2を使用することができる。
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
The block diagram of the hot water storage type hot-water supply system which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is shown by FIG.
The hot water storage hot water supply system 1 includes a heat source device 2 that includes a heat pump, an electric water heater, a boiler, and the like that generate low temperature water by heating low temperature water. This heat source unit 2 is configured to heat low temperature water supplied from the hot water storage unit 3 side via a water supply pump via a heat exchanger, a heater 2A, etc., and circulate it as high temperature water to the hot water storage unit 3 side. A known heat source device 2 can be used.

貯湯ユニット3は、熱源機2からの高温水の出湯配管4と、熱源機2への低温水の給水配管5との間に、接続配管6A,6Bを介して直列に接続して配設された複数個の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cを備えている。ここでは、3個の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cを直列に接続したものが例示されているが、この貯湯タンクは、少なくとも2個以上のタンクが直列に接続されているものであればよい。   The hot water storage unit 3 is connected in series between the hot water outlet piping 4 from the heat source unit 2 and the low temperature water supply piping 5 to the heat source unit 2 via connection pipes 6A and 6B. A plurality of hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, 7C are provided. Here, an example is shown in which three hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C are connected in series. However, the hot water storage tank may be one in which at least two or more tanks are connected in series.

なお、以下の説明において、上記複数の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cの中、熱源機2からの高温水の出湯配管4に最も近い位置に接続される貯湯タンク7Aを最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7A、その下流側に接続される少なくとも1以上の貯湯タンク7Bを下流側の貯湯タンク7B、給水配管5が接続される貯湯タンク7Cを最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cと称することとする。   In the following description, among the plurality of hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C, the hot water storage tank 7A connected to the position closest to the hot water outlet piping 4 from the heat source unit 2 is the uppermost hot water storage hot water storage tank. 7A, at least one hot water storage tank 7B connected to the downstream side thereof is referred to as a downstream hot water storage tank 7B, and a hot water storage tank 7C connected to the water supply pipe 5 is referred to as a most downstream hot water storage hot water tank 7C.

最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cには、その底部に給水管8が接続され、給水源である水道等からの市水(水道水)が給水管8を経て給水可能とされている。給水管8を経て給水用貯湯タンク7Cに給水された低温水は、給水用貯湯タンク7Cの底部から給水配管5および図示省略の給水ポンプを介して熱源機2に供給可能とされている。なお、給水源は必ずしも水道等からの市水に限定されるものではなく、井戸水、その他であってもよい。   A water supply pipe 8 is connected to the bottom of the water supply hot water storage tank 7 </ b> C on the most downstream side, so that city water (tap water) from a water supply or the like as a water supply source can be supplied through the water supply pipe 8. The low temperature water supplied to the hot water storage tank 7C through the water supply pipe 8 can be supplied from the bottom of the hot water storage tank 7C to the heat source unit 2 via the water supply pipe 5 and a water supply pump (not shown). The water supply source is not necessarily limited to city water from a water supply or the like, and may be well water or the like.

一方、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aの上部には、負荷側に高温水を給湯(給湯A)するための給湯配管(給湯系)9Aが接続され、給湯用貯湯タンク7Aに貯湯されていた高温水が所要の高温水負荷用途に供給可能な構成とされている。なお、この給湯配管9Aに対して、必要に応じてミキシングバルブ10Aを設置し、高温水を所定の温度に調整して給湯できるようにしてもよいことはもちろんである。この場合、ミキシングバルブ10Aに対して給水管8から分岐された給水配管11Aを接続し、高温水に低温水を混合して所定温度の高温水に調整して給湯できるようにすればよい。   On the other hand, a hot water supply pipe (hot water supply system) 9A for supplying high temperature water (hot water supply A) to the load side is connected to the upper part of the uppermost hot water storage hot water storage tank 7A, and hot water is stored in the hot water storage hot water storage tank 7A. It is set as the structure which can supply high temperature water to the required high temperature water load use. Of course, a mixing valve 10A may be installed in the hot water supply pipe 9A as needed so that hot water can be adjusted to a predetermined temperature to supply hot water. In this case, a water supply pipe 11A branched from the water supply pipe 8 may be connected to the mixing valve 10A so that hot water can be supplied by mixing low temperature water with high temperature water and adjusting the high temperature water to a predetermined temperature.

さらに、本実施形態では、下流側の貯湯タンク7Bおよび最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cに対しても、その上部である接続配管6A,6Bに、負荷側に中温水もしくは低温水を給湯(給湯B,給湯C)するための給湯配管(給湯系)9B,9Cが接続された構成とされている。そして、この給湯配管9B,9Cにも、各々ミキシングバルブ10B,10Cが設けられ、給水管8から分岐された給水配管11B,11Cが接続された構成とされることにより、貯湯タンク7B,7Cに貯湯されている高温水を、中温水又は低温水に温度調整して所要の負荷用途に給湯可能とされている。   Further, in the present embodiment, the hot water supply (hot water supply) is supplied to the downstream side hot water storage tank 7B and the most downstream hot water storage water storage tank 7C with the connection pipes 6A and 6B at the upper part thereof. B, hot water supply C) (hot water supply system) 9B, 9C is connected. The hot water supply pipes 9B and 9C are also provided with mixing valves 10B and 10C, respectively, and the water supply pipes 11B and 11C branched from the water supply pipe 8 are connected to the hot water storage tanks 7B and 7C. Hot water stored in hot water can be adjusted to medium or low temperature water to supply hot water for a required load.

上記の貯湯式給湯システム1において、貯湯運転は、以下により行われる。
まず、給水管8からの給水により、貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cに低温水が満たされた状態とされる。この状態から、図2に実線矢印で示すように、給水用貯湯タンク7Cの底部より給水配管5、図示省略の給水ポンプを介して熱源機2に低温水を順次供給し、熱交換器、ヒータ2A等で加熱して高温水を生成することにより貯湯運転が開始される。この高温水は、熱源機2からの出湯配管4を介して最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aの上部に供給され、図2に示すように、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aから、順次下流側の貯湯タンク7B,7Cへと温度境界層を形成しながら貯湯されていく。
In the hot water storage type hot water supply system 1 described above, the hot water storage operation is performed as follows.
First, the hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C are filled with low-temperature water by supplying water from the water supply pipe 8. From this state, as indicated by solid arrows in FIG. 2, low temperature water is sequentially supplied from the bottom of the hot water storage tank 7C to the heat source unit 2 via the water supply pipe 5 and a water supply pump (not shown), and the heat exchanger, heater The hot water storage operation is started by generating hot water by heating with 2A or the like. This high-temperature water is supplied to the upper part of the uppermost hot water storage hot water storage tank 7A through the hot water supply pipe 4 from the heat source unit 2, and as shown in FIG. Hot water is stored in the hot water storage tanks 7B and 7C while forming a temperature boundary layer.

複数の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cに、設定温度の所定量の高温水が貯湯されたことが検知されると、沸く上げ完了とされ、貯湯運転は終了される。この貯湯運転は、安価な夜間電力を利用して深夜に行われるのが通常である。図1には、沸く上げが完了した状態が示されており、複数の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cに、それぞれ設定温度の高温水が所定量貯湯された状態となる。   When it is detected that a plurality of hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C have stored a predetermined amount of high-temperature water, boiling is completed and the hot water storage operation is terminated. This hot water storage operation is usually performed at midnight using inexpensive nighttime power. FIG. 1 shows a state where boiling is completed, and a predetermined amount of high-temperature water is stored in each of the plurality of hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C.

一方、貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cに貯湯された高温水を消費する給湯運転は、消費期間中において、以下のように行われる。図3には、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aから給湯配管9Aを介して高温水が給湯される場合の動作図が示されている。
この場合、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aの上部から順次高温水が給湯配管9Aを介して出湯され、その給湯配管9A中に設けられているミキシングバルブ10Aで必要に応じて給水配管11Aからの低温水と混合されて必要温度に調整された後、負荷側に対して給湯(給湯A)されることになる。
On the other hand, the hot water supply operation that consumes the high-temperature water stored in the hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C is performed as follows during the consumption period. FIG. 3 shows an operation diagram in the case where hot water is supplied from the hottest hot water storage tank 7A through the hot water supply pipe 9A.
In this case, hot water is sequentially discharged from the upper part of the hot water storage tank 7A for hot water supply through the hot water supply pipe 9A, and is supplied from the water supply pipe 11A as needed by the mixing valve 10A provided in the hot water supply pipe 9A. After being mixed with low-temperature water and adjusted to the required temperature, hot water is supplied to the load side (hot water supply A).

最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aから順次高温水が出湯されると、その出湯量に見合った量の低温水が給水管8を介して最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cに給水され、給水用貯湯タンク7C内の高温水を上流側の貯湯タンク7B,7Aへと押出す。これによって、貯湯タンク7B,7C内の高温水が、図3に実線矢印で示すように、順次最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aへと移動される。このため、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aは、常に、所要量の高温水が確保された状態に維持されることになる。   When hot water is discharged from the hot water storage tank 7A at the uppermost stream, low-temperature water corresponding to the amount of hot water is supplied to the downstream hot water storage tank 7C via the water supply pipe 8 to supply hot water. The high temperature water in the tank 7C is pushed out to the hot water storage tanks 7B and 7A on the upstream side. As a result, the hot water in the hot water storage tanks 7B and 7C is sequentially moved to the hot water storage hot water storage tank 7A, as shown by the solid line arrow in FIG. For this reason, the hot water storage tank 7A for the hot water supply is always maintained in a state in which a required amount of high-temperature water is secured.

また、図4には、最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cから給湯配管9Cを介して中温水又は低温水が給湯される場合の動作図が示されている。
この場合、最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cの上部から順次高温水が出湯され、給湯配管9C中において、ミキシングバルブ10Cで給水配管11Cからの低温水と混合されて中温水又は低温水に温度調整された後、負荷側に給湯(給湯C)されることになる。この際も貯湯タンク7Cからの出湯量に見合った量の低温水が給水管8を介して貯湯タンク7Cに給水されるが、貯湯タンク7Cに貯湯されていた高温水が全て消費されると、給水管8から給水された低温水がそのまま給湯配管9Cを経て出水されることになる。
FIG. 4 shows an operation diagram in the case where hot water is supplied from the most downstream hot water storage tank 7C via hot water supply piping 9C.
In this case, high temperature water is discharged from the uppermost part of the most downstream hot water storage tank 7C, and mixed with low temperature water from the water supply pipe 11C by the mixing valve 10C in the hot water supply pipe 9C to adjust the temperature to medium temperature water or low temperature water. Then, hot water is supplied to the load side (hot water supply C). At this time, low-temperature water corresponding to the amount of hot water discharged from the hot water storage tank 7C is supplied to the hot water storage tank 7C via the water supply pipe 8, but when all the high-temperature water stored in the hot water storage tank 7C is consumed, The low temperature water supplied from the water supply pipe 8 is discharged as it is through the hot water supply pipe 9C.

従って、最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cから給湯配管9Cを介して中温水又は低温水として給湯できる高温水量は、最下流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Cに貯湯されていた高温水に限られることとなり、上流側の貯湯タンク7B又は7Aに貯湯されている高温水を給湯配管9Cから給湯することはできない。   Therefore, the amount of high-temperature water that can be supplied from the most downstream hot-water storage tank 7C via the hot-water supply pipe 9C as medium-temperature water or low-temperature water is limited to the high-temperature water stored in the most downstream hot-water supply hot water storage tank 7C. Hot water stored in the upstream hot water storage tank 7B or 7A cannot be supplied from the hot water supply pipe 9C.

なお、貯湯タンク7Bから個別で給湯(給湯B)できることも、貯湯タンク7A,7Cからの個別給湯(給湯A又は給湯C)に準じて明らかであり、詳述するまでもない。ただし、貯湯タンク7Bから個別に給湯する場合、貯湯タンク7Bに貯湯されていた高温水を全て使っても、その下流側の貯湯タンク7Cに貯湯されている高温水をも追加して給湯できるため、貯湯タンク7B内の高温水の給湯のみに限定されることはないものの、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aに貯湯されている高温水を給湯配管9Bから給湯することはできない。従って、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aに確実に所定量の高温水を確保しておくことができる。   In addition, it is clear according to the individual hot water supply (hot water supply A or hot water supply C) from the hot water storage tanks 7A and 7C that hot water supply (hot water supply B) can be performed individually from the hot water storage tank 7B, and need not be described in detail. However, when hot water is individually supplied from the hot water storage tank 7B, even if all of the hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 7B is used, hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 7C on the downstream side can be additionally supplied. Although not limited to hot water supply only in the hot water storage tank 7B, the hot water stored in the hot water storage hot water storage tank 7A cannot be supplied from the hot water supply pipe 9B. Therefore, a predetermined amount of high-temperature water can be ensured in the most hot water storage hot water storage tank 7A.

このように、本実施形態では、3個の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cから、それぞれ個別に温度の異なる温水又は同温度の温水を複数の用途に対応して給湯することができる。
さらに、本実施形態では、2以上の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cから、異なる2温度以上の温水を同時に又は個別に給湯することができる。例えば貯湯タンク7Aと貯湯タンク7B、貯湯タンク7Aと貯湯タンク7C、貯湯タンク7Bと貯湯タンク7C、および貯湯タンク7Aと貯湯タンク7Bと貯湯タンク7Cから、それぞれ同時に又は個別に異なる2温度以上の温水を複数の用途に対応して給湯することができる。
Thus, in the present embodiment, hot water having different temperatures or hot water having the same temperature can be supplied from the three hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, 7C individually for a plurality of uses.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, hot water of two or more different temperatures can be supplied simultaneously or individually from two or more hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C. For example, the hot water storage tank 7A and the hot water storage tank 7B, the hot water storage tank 7A and the hot water storage tank 7C, the hot water storage tank 7B and the hot water storage tank 7C, and the hot water storage tank 7A, the hot water storage tank 7B and the hot water storage tank 7C, respectively. Can be used for multiple purposes.

図5に、その一例として、貯湯タンク7Aと貯湯タンク7Cから、異なる2温度の温水を同時に給湯する場合の動作図が示されている。以下に、図5に基づいて、その給湯動作を詳しく説明する。
この場合、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aからは、その上部から給湯配管9Aを介して順次高温水を負荷側に給湯することができる。この際、必要に応じて給湯配管9A中に設けられているミキシングバルブ10Aにより温度調整して給湯(給湯A)することができる。最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aからの給湯によって、最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cに給水管8を介して低温水が給水され、貯湯タンク7B,7Cの高温水が、図5に実線矢印で示すように、順次最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7A側に押出されることになることは上述した通りである。
As an example, FIG. 5 shows an operation diagram in the case where hot water of two different temperatures is simultaneously supplied from the hot water storage tank 7A and the hot water storage tank 7C. Below, based on FIG. 5, the hot water supply operation | movement is demonstrated in detail.
In this case, hot water can be sequentially supplied from the uppermost hot water storage tank 7A to the load side through the hot water supply pipe 9A. At this time, if necessary, the temperature can be adjusted by a mixing valve 10A provided in the hot water supply pipe 9A to supply hot water (hot water supply A). By supplying hot water from the hot water storage tank 7A at the most upstream side, low temperature water is supplied to the hot water storage tank 7C at the downstream side through the water supply pipe 8, and the hot water in the hot water storage tanks 7B and 7C is indicated by solid arrows in FIG. As shown in the figure, as described above, the hot water supply hot water storage tank 7A is sequentially pushed out to the upstream side.

これと同時に、最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cの上部からも給湯配管9Cを介して中温水又は低温水を負荷側に給湯(給湯C)することができる。最下流の給水用貯湯タンク7Cから給湯配管9Cに出湯された高温水は、給湯配管9C中に設けられているミキシングバルブ10Cで給水配管11Cからの低温水と混合されて中温水又は低温水に温度調整された後、負荷側に給湯されることになる。この際も貯湯タンク7Cからの出湯量に見合った量の低温水が給水管8を介して貯湯タンク7Cに給水されることになり、貯湯タンク7Cに貯湯されていた高温水が全て消費されると、貯湯タンク7Cから給湯配管9Cを介して給湯することはできなくなる。   At the same time, it is possible to supply hot water (hot water supply C) from the uppermost part of the most downstream hot water storage tank 7C via the hot water supply pipe 9C to the load side. The hot water discharged from the hot water storage tank 7C at the most downstream side to the hot water supply pipe 9C is mixed with the low temperature water from the water supply pipe 11C by the mixing valve 10C provided in the hot water supply pipe 9C to become intermediate or low temperature water. After the temperature is adjusted, hot water is supplied to the load side. At this time, low-temperature water corresponding to the amount of hot water discharged from the hot water storage tank 7C is supplied to the hot water storage tank 7C through the water supply pipe 8, and all the high-temperature water stored in the hot water storage tank 7C is consumed. Then, hot water cannot be supplied from the hot water storage tank 7C via the hot water supply pipe 9C.

同様にして、貯湯タンク7Aと貯湯タンク7B、貯湯タンク7Bと貯湯タンク7Cおよび貯湯タンク7Aと貯湯タンク7Bと貯湯タンク7Cから、それぞれ同時に又は個別に異なる2温度以上の温水を複数の用途に対応して給湯することができ、しかも、下流側の貯湯タンク7B,7Cから給湯することによって、それらの貯湯タンク7B,7Cに貯湯されていた高温水を全て使い切ったとしても、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aに対して所要量の高温水を確保しておき、それを特定の用途に給湯することが可能となる。   Similarly, the hot water storage tank 7A, the hot water storage tank 7B, the hot water storage tank 7B, the hot water storage tank 7C, the hot water storage tank 7A, the hot water storage tank 7B, and the hot water storage tank 7C can be used simultaneously or individually for hot water of two or more different temperatures for multiple applications. Even if all the hot water stored in the hot water storage tanks 7B and 7C is exhausted by supplying hot water from the hot water storage tanks 7B and 7C on the downstream side, It is possible to secure a required amount of high-temperature water for the hot water storage tank 7A and supply it to a specific application.

斯くして、本実施形態によると、直列に接続された複数の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7C中の最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aから高温水を給湯し、その下流側の1以上の貯湯タンク7B,7Cからミキシングバルブ10B,10Cを介して異なる温度の温水を給湯することにより、専用の2温度取り出し用貯湯タンクを用いることなく、1基の貯湯式給湯システム1から少なくとも異なる2温度以上の温水を同時または個別に取り出し、負荷側に給湯することができる。   Thus, according to the present embodiment, hot water is supplied from the hottest hot water storage tank 7A in the plurality of hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, 7C connected in series, and one or more hot water storage tanks downstream thereof. By supplying hot water of different temperatures from the 7B and 7C via the mixing valves 10B and 10C, at least two different temperatures from the single hot water storage hot water supply system 1 can be used without using a dedicated two-temperature hot water storage tank. Hot water can be taken out simultaneously or individually and hot water can be supplied to the load side.

しかも、下流側の1以上の貯湯タンク7B,7Cからミキシングバルブ10B,10Cを介して中温水や低温水を取り出すことにより、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aに所要量の高温水を貯湯したまま、下流側の貯湯タンク7B,7Cに貯湯されている高温水を順次給湯して消費することができる。
このため、特別な構成のタンクを用いることなく、貯湯専用のシンプルな構成のタンク7A,7B,7Cを複数個用いて、用途の違いに応じた異なる2温度以上の温水を同時または個別に取り出し、給湯できる安価な貯湯式給湯システム1を提供することができるとともに、用途が特定された所要量の高温水を確実に確保できる貯湯式給湯システム1を提供することができる。
In addition, by taking out the middle temperature water and the low temperature water from the one or more hot water storage tanks 7B, 7C via the mixing valves 10B, 10C, the required amount of hot water is stored in the hot water storage hot water storage tank 7A. The hot water stored in the hot water storage tanks 7B and 7C on the downstream side can be successively supplied and consumed.
For this reason, using a plurality of tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C with a simple configuration dedicated to hot water storage without using a specially configured tank, hot water at two or more different temperatures depending on the application can be taken out simultaneously or individually. Thus, it is possible to provide an inexpensive hot water storage hot water supply system 1 that can supply hot water, and to provide a hot water storage hot water supply system 1 that can reliably secure a required amount of high-temperature water whose use is specified.

また、本実施形態では、ミキシングバルブ10B,10Cに、給水用貯湯タンク7Cの底部に接続されている給水管8から分岐された給水配管11B,11Cが接続された構成とされ、下流側の貯湯タンク7B,7Cから負荷側に給湯する際、給水管8から分岐された給水配管11B,11Cを経てミキシングバルブ10B,10Cに低温水を供給し、設定温度の中温水又は低温水に調整して給湯することができるため、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aに所要量の高温水を確保しつつ、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aからの給湯とは独立して、下流側の貯湯タンク7B,7Cから異なる温度の温水を同時または個別に取り出し、負荷側に給湯することができる。   In the present embodiment, the mixing valves 10B and 10C are connected to the water supply pipes 11B and 11C branched from the water supply pipe 8 connected to the bottom of the water supply hot water storage tank 7C. When hot water is supplied from the tanks 7B and 7C to the load side, low temperature water is supplied to the mixing valves 10B and 10C through the water supply pipes 11B and 11C branched from the water supply pipe 8, and adjusted to medium temperature water or low temperature water at the set temperature. Since hot water can be supplied, the required amount of high-temperature water is secured in the hot water storage hot water tank 7A, and the hot water storage tank 7B on the downstream side is independent from the hot water supply from the hot water hot water storage tank 7A. Hot water having different temperatures can be taken out simultaneously or individually from 7C and hot water can be supplied to the load side.

さらに、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aから高温水が給湯可能とされるとともに、その下流側の1以上の貯湯タンク7B,7Cから異なる温度の温水が給湯可能とされ、少なくとも異なる2温度以上の温水が同時または個別に給湯可能な構成とされているため、貯湯専用のシンプルな貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cを複数個直列に接続するだけで、最上流の給湯用貯湯タンク7Aからの高温水の給湯と、下流側の1以上の貯湯タンク7B,7Cからの温度の異なる温水の給湯とにより、少なくとも異なる2温度以上の温水を同時または個別に給湯することができる。   Further, hot water can be supplied from the hottest hot water storage tank 7A, and hot water having different temperatures can be supplied from one or more hot water storage tanks 7B, 7C downstream of the hot water storage tank 7A. Since the hot water can be supplied simultaneously or individually, the hot water from the most hot water storage hot water tank 7A can be obtained simply by connecting a plurality of simple hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, 7C dedicated for hot water storage in series. Hot water having different temperatures from the one or more hot water storage tanks 7B, 7C on the downstream side can supply hot water having at least two different temperatures simultaneously or individually.

これによって、専用構造とされることにより高価な2温度取り出し用の貯湯タンクを用いることなく、安価な既存の貯湯専用のシンプルな構成の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cを用いて、用途の違いに応じた異なる2温度以上の温水を同時または個別に取り出しできる貯湯式給湯システム1を低コストで提供することができる。   This makes it possible to use different hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C having a simple structure dedicated to existing hot water storage without using an expensive hot water storage tank for taking out two temperatures by using a dedicated structure. It is possible to provide a hot water storage hot water supply system 1 that can take out hot water having two or more different temperatures at the same time or separately at low cost.

また、複数の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cが、それぞれ同一構造の貯湯専用タンクとされている。このため、直列に接続される複数の貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cを、それぞれ既存のシンプルな構成の貯湯専用の同一構造のタンク7A,7B,7Cにより構成することができ、これによっても、安価な同一構造の貯湯専用タンクを複数個用い、用途の違いに応じた異なる2温度以上の温水を同時または個別に取り出しできる貯湯式給湯システム1をより低コストで提供することが可能となる。   The plurality of hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, and 7C are dedicated hot water storage tanks having the same structure. For this reason, a plurality of hot water storage tanks 7A, 7B, 7C connected in series can be configured by tanks 7A, 7B, 7C having the same structure dedicated to hot water storage with an existing simple configuration. It is possible to provide a hot water storage type hot water supply system 1 using a plurality of dedicated hot water storage tanks having the same structure and taking out hot water of two or more different temperatures at the same time or individually according to different uses at lower cost.

なお、本発明は、上記実施形態にかかる発明に限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲において、適宜変形が可能である。例えば、上記実施形態では、最上流の貯湯タンク7Aに接続されている給湯配管9A中にミキシングバルブ10Aを設け、温度調整可能とした例について説明したが、用途に特定され、貯湯タンク7A,7B,7Cに貯湯される設定温度の高温水をそのまま使うようなものの場合、敢えてミキシングバルブ10Aを設ける必要はなく、省略してもよい。このようなシステムも本発明に包含されることは云うまでもない。   In addition, this invention is not limited to the invention concerning the said embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the summary, it can change suitably. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the mixing valve 10A is provided in the hot water supply pipe 9A connected to the most upstream hot water storage tank 7A and the temperature can be adjusted has been described. In the case of using the high-temperature water of the set temperature stored in 7C as it is, it is not necessary to provide the mixing valve 10A and may be omitted. It goes without saying that such a system is also included in the present invention.
