Description

Hot water chamber device {APPARATUS OF CHAMBER FOR HOT WATER}

The present invention relates to a hot water supply chamber device connected to a heating facility and/or hot water supply facility constructed in a building such as a general house, apartment, or office building constructed for the purpose of living or living by a person. It can realize fast response of hot water used), improve circulation efficiency (heating efficiency) of heating water, and significantly reduce the amount of water (cold water) wasted before obtaining hot water, as well as mainly for piping. It relates to a hot water supply chamber device that can solve the inconvenience of life caused by the low water pressure caused by the aging of the water heater at once.

A pipe is a whole in which several pipelines are organically combined, and it is like a kind of physical circuit. Here, the circuit refers to a road artificially established for the purpose of allowing the same road to be continuously and repeatedly operated. A pipeline composed of a circuit in a water pipe or hot water pipe has a problem in that the water pressure drops rapidly when it is aged. As a method for solving this problem, a method of replacing the existing pipeline with a new one and a method of reconfiguring (redesigning) the circuit configuration more simply in addition to the above method can be selected. However, there is no way to fundamentally solve the low water pressure without replacing the pipe so far.

Meanwhile, a boiler system and a heat exchange system are used for hot water supply facilities and heating facilities. The boiler system is a method of directly heating and circulating a medium (water), but the heat exchange system is only different in that it is an indirect heating method using heat exchange action. It is the same in that it implements heating and/or hot water supply by continuously and repeatedly circulating the water of the circuit in the piping. Mainly, the former is used in 'individual heating' and 'central heating', and the latter is used in 'district heating'.

However, in both of the above systems, when the user opens the hot water valve to obtain hot water, it takes a considerable amount of time to obtain hot water, resulting in a significant amount of water (cold water) wasted until obtaining hot water. .

In order to solve the above problem, that is, in order to realize the quick response of hot water, it was necessary to increase the set temperature of the hot water stored in the hot water tank connected to the boiler, and accordingly, the boiler had to operate almost non-stop, so that a huge amount of fuel Loss and another problem that adversely affects the durability and maintenance of the boiler was caused.

At the same time, when the internal water pressure of the body 130 sensed through the pressure sensor 180 is higher than a preset pressure range (ie, for example, the hot water supply pipe in the central heating system 1 or the district heating system 2) 60), when the internal pressure of the pressure sensor 180 is set to 100 psi, the set pressure range of the pressure sensor 180 is set to 115 psi or more, which exceeds 100 psi by 15%), the pressure sensor 180 is the first and second valves By closing (V1, V2) and changing the flow path so that the third and fourth valves (V3, V4) can be opened, the water (hot water) stored inside the body part 130 is drained (drained) to the outside )do. This is to prevent damage to the body 130 by resetting the excessive water pressure acting on the inside of the body 130 .

At this time, in addition to the aforementioned drainage action, the hot water flowing through the hot water supply pipe 60 is introduced into the rear end of the second valve V2 of the hot water outlet pipe 120 through the bypass pipe 190 . Therefore, it does not have a significant effect on heating and hot water supply. When the preset time elapses, the pressure sensor 180 restores the original state by opening the first and second valves V1 and V2 and closing the third and fourth valves V3 and V4. .

On the other hand, when the pressure sensor 180 detects the internal water pressure of the body 130 is smaller than a preset pressure range (ie, the hot water supply pipe in the central heating system 1 or the district heating system 2) When the internal pressure of (60) is set to 100 psi, the set pressure range of the pressure sensor 180 is set to less than 85 psi which is less than 15% of 100 psi above}, the pressure sensor 180 is the first to third valves (V1, V2, V3) is closed, and the fourth valve (V4) is opened so that hot water flows through the bypass pipe 190 through the hot water supply pipe 60 to the household hot water/heating unit 50. to let in In this case, the inflow of hot water into the body part 130 is blocked. The action of the pressure sensor 180 as described above is to cope with the occurrence of water leakage due to other causes such as damage to the body portion 130 .

<Modification 2>

15 is a longitudinal sectional view illustrating an operational state of 'Modified Example 2' of the third embodiment according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 15 , the hot water supply chamber device 300 according to the present invention includes the components of the hot water supply chamber device 300 according to 'Modified Example 1' as seen above, and the hot water flowing in the space 331 is It is characterized in that a component capable of increasing the flow rate of hot water by increasing the pressure is further added.

In detail, as shown in FIG. 15 , the hot water supply chamber device 300 according to 'Modified Example 3' of the third embodiment penetrates the body 332 and communicates with the space 331, and one end thereof is checked. It further includes an engine 372 having a valve and an air nozzle 373 and a blower or a small pneumatic machine 371 connected to the other end of the engine 372 . The air nozzle 373 is provided with a plurality of micropores (not shown) that allow the air discharged through the teeth 373 to spread radially. The micropores (not shown) allow air bubbles (hereinafter, 'bubbles') to be uniformly mixed with the hot water flowing through the space 331, primarily through the air levitation effect for the hot water. has the effect of increasing the The check valve (not shown) prevents the hot water in the space 331 from flowing into the engine 372 .

The operating principle of the hot water supply chamber device 300 is as follows.

When the blower 371 is operated, a large amount of bubbles start to be generated in the space 331 of the body 330 . As a large amount of bubbles are discharged at high speed in the space 331, a high pressure state is obtained. Therefore, a vacuum is formed in the lower area "A" of the air nozzle 373 of the space portion 331 . Accordingly, a pressure difference occurs between the upper portion of the air nozzle 373 and the lower portion of the “A” area, and the flow rate of the hot water rising in the lower portion of the “A” area is rapidly increased due to this pressure difference.

In the meantime, a large amount of bubbles are generated in the space portion 331 due to the air emitted through the plurality of micropores, and the large amount of bubbles are uniformly mixed with the flowing hot water, so that the buoyancy effect on the fluid is further improved. . Therefore, the moving speed of the hot water becomes faster through the gas-liquid mixing process.

To describe this process in more detail, the pressure applied to the hot water entering the space 331 having a relatively large cross-sectional area increases, but the flow rate of the hot water decreases. The slowed-down hot water mixes with air bubbles (bubbles) evenly, increasing the flow rate somewhat. Eventually, the hot water rising in the space 331 reaches the inside of the second reducer 334 , and the flow rate of the hot water passing through this 334 is increased and the pressure is reduced. The accelerated hot water passes through the hot water outlet pipe 120 at a high speed. Since the warming function for hot water is the same as that of Modification Example 2 described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
