JPS6199035A - Method of accommodating hot water panel - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to accommodate panels using parts used in a hot water floor heater without using special parts, by connecting and sealing outgoing and return connecting ports of one panel to each other by means of a flexible tube for connecting panels at the time of accommodating panels after extracting water by a pump internally provided in the hot water apparatus. CONSTITUTION:At the time of normal use, panels 1, and the panel 1 and a hot water apparatus 2 are connected to each other by flexible tubes 6 through circulating ports 3 and reciprocating connecting ports 4 and 5. At the time of accommodating the hot water panels of such a compact type hot water floor heating unit, the drain valve of a hot water device 2 is opened beforehand to operate a forcible circulating pump to discharge the most part of water in the hot water apparatus and panels. Upon accommodating panels, when flexible tube parts are slightly lifted and the flexible tubes 6 are removed, only water in a very small quantity remains within panels 1. Therefore, water does not leak immediately from the outgoing connecting port 4 or the return connecting port 5. Hence, when the outgoing connecting port 4 is connected to the return connecting port 5 by use of one flexible tube 6, the pipeline of the panel 1 is closed, and there is no possibility of water leaking.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a simple hot water floor heating device that can be removed and stored when not in use.

[Conventional problems]

Recently, the comfort and energy saving properties of hot water floor heating have been recognized,
A type of floor heater that combines a simple floor-standing hot water panel and a hot water device and uses a forced circulation pump to supply hot water to the panel to collect heat has been put into practical use.

By the way, this type of device needs to be stored when heating is not required, but if you just use the circulation pump built into the hot water system, the water in the hot water panel cannot be completely drained, and it is easy to spill when storing it. Since the water being circulated is mixed with antifreeze and anti-rust agents, there is a risk of discoloration of the floor or tatami mats if spilled, which was a major drawback of simple floor heating systems. The installer uses a near compressor to blow in compressed air and drain the water from the hot water panel, but the collector did not have such equipment and could not use the contractor's method.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention makes it possible to store panels using parts used in hot water floor heating systems without using special parts.

[Explanation of Examples]

1 is a hot water panel for floor heating, 2 is a hot water system, 3 is a circulation port for the hot water system, 4 is an outgoing connection port for the panel, and 5 is a rear connection port for the panel. Device 2
are connected by a flexible tube 6 via a circulation port 3 and reciprocating connection ports 4 and 5.

Figure 1 shows normal use, and Figure 2 shows it when stored.When stored, the slave connection port 4 and rear connection port 5 of one panel are shown.
and are connected and sealed using the flexibility of the flexible tube 6.

[Explanation of action]

When storing the hot water panel of the simple water floor heating system, if the drain valve of the hot water device 2 is opened in advance and the forced circulation pump is activated, most of the water in the hot water device and the panel can be drained.

When storing the panel, the flexible tube part is raised a little higher and the flexible tube 6 is removed. Since only a small amount of water remains in the spring/I/L, the slave connection port 4 or the rear connection is removed. Since water does not immediately leak from the opening 5, the flexible tube 6 1
If you use a book to connect the slave connection port 4 and the rear connection port 6, the spring /
The I/1 pipeline has been sealed, and there is no longer any fear of water leaking.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, since the panel 1 is sealed and there is no fear of water leakage, it can be moved and stored in any position and is extremely easy to handle. Furthermore, since the parts used during storage are used as is, there is no loss of parts.
This eliminates the need to worry about storing parts.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of this invention when it is in use, and FIG. 2 is a plan view when it is stored.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a hot water heater that connects panels or panels and the circulation port of a hot water device with flexible pipes installed closely together,
A method for storing a hot water panel, which comprises connecting and sealing an outgoing connection port and a return connection port of one panel with the flexible pipe when storing the panel after water is drained by a pump inside the hot water device.
