Description
The present invention relates to a water saving device using a bimetal sensor and a water supply system having the water saving device.
Boilers installed in apartments and general single-family homes, for example, keep the room warm during the cold winter season, and also supply hot water through water supply faucets such as bathrooms and kitchens.
There are various types of boilers, depending on their type and the fuel used, but they are almost similar in operation. That is, a part of the cold water supplied from outside is taken in and heated, and then supplied to a necessary place through the hot water pipe. What is needed is a heating pipe piped to the floor, a bathtub in the bathroom, or a water supply such as a sink or a sink.
On the other hand, since the hot water supply pipe extends a certain length from the boiler to the water supply water, the water from the boiler is trapped in the hot water supply pipe when the hot water is used and the water supply is locked. When the hot water supply pipe is opened again, the supply of water which is waiting in the hot water supply pipe is continued.
However, according to our experience, when cold water is used in a water supply, cold water is immediately available, but when hot water is used, hot water of the desired temperature does not immediately come out. Of course, if you use hot water for a while and then use it for a while, the supply of hot water continues without decreasing the temperature. However, when hot water is not used for several hours, for example, when it is used again, hot water does not come out first, do. This occurs because the water trapped inside the hot water pipe is cooled while hot water is not used, and the water that was cooled when the hot water is turned is discharged first.
For the above reason, the user first discharges the cold water cooled in the water supply pipe (to use the hot water of the desired temperature). In other words, when the hot water valve of the water supply system is opened, the cold water that is cooled in the hot water pipe flows to the sewer, and when the hot water starts to come out, Of course, depending on the user, the cold water is not discarded but it is often taken away. In many cases, cold water is poured into the sewer, waiting for hot water to come out.
Since the cold water discharged before the hot water is discharged from the hot water inside the hot water pipe, the larger the length of the hot water pipe and the larger the inner diameter of the hot water pipe, the larger the amount. Typically, 1.5 liters to 2 liters are discarded until hot water comes out, equivalent to 2.2 tonnes per household per year, which is a huge waste of water resources nationwide.
In order to solve the above problem, the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems. The present invention resides in a hot water supply pipe after the supply of hot water is completed and the cooled water is returned to the boiler when the hot water is supplied.
