Description

Polygonal ion heater

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the material described in this section is not prior art to the claims of this application, and is not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section.

Hot water systems used in industry, industry, or home use a boiler-based heating method. Pipes are installed on the indoor floor, and heat is supplied as water heated by the boiler circulates through the pipes. These boilers are classified into oil boilers, gas boilers, and electric boilers depending on the energy source used, and are classified into heat pump type or heat heating type boiler depending on the heating method. Recently, energy-saving boilers that can increase thermal efficiency or save hot water costs through efficient heating methods have been continuously developed.

Among them, the heat heating boiler is a method in which a heating element directly heats the medium to be heated (typically water). The heating element includes a sheath heater or a PTC, a type of semiconductor device. Here, the sheath heater is made by enclosing a heating wire with an insulator in a pipe such as stainless steel, so it can obtain high heat and is highly durable, so it can use water in electric boilers, etc. It is widely used for direct heating. The heating element of the heat heating boiler as described above is called a heater rod because it is a rod-shaped heater, and heat is generated according to the electrical resistance generated by supplying current to the heating wire installed inside the heater rod, thereby heating the water.

However, in the case of a heating method using a heater rod as described above, current is first supplied to the heater rod to heat the heater rod itself, and then the heater rod heats the water, which generates less heat than the method of directly heating the water. It has the disadvantage of being less efficient, which results in economic loss.

It includes a plurality of metal diaphragms 30 that heat the fluid by generating bubbles due to ionization, and a current supply unit 40 that is connected to a metal rod 21 protruding through the lower part of the support unit 20 and supplies current.

The main body portion 10 extends in the vertical direction and may have a cylindrical shape with a predetermined space formed therein, and is configured to allow fluid such as water to flow in and out. An inlet 11 is installed so that fluid can be continuously supplied from one lower side of the main body 10, and then the fluid heated through the metal diaphragm 30 flows into an outlet formed on one upper side of the main body 10.

In order to compensate for the fact that it cannot be stably supported from the ground by the metal rod 21 penetrating the support part 20, the first leg part 80 extends from the lower surface of the support part 20 to the ground. It may further include. The first leg portion 80 is preferably composed of three or more pieces along the outer circumference, and has a diameter that increases toward the bottom, so that the polygonal ion heating element can be supported more stably.

Figures 5 and 6 show a phase diagram in which water molecules are ionized between metal diaphragms and a schematic diagram of a metal diaphragm made of a polygonal pyramid in a polygonal ion heating element according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Next, a plurality of metal diaphragm plates 30 installed inside the main body 10, connected to the plurality of metal rods 21 and disposed at a predetermined interval, and a metal rod protruding through the lower part of the support portion 20. It may further include a current supply unit 40 that is connected to (21) and supplies current.

The metal diaphragm 30 may have a structure in which a plurality of metal diaphragms, preferably 4, 6, or 9, are arranged side by side at a predetermined interval, and are connected to the metal rod 21 to be supported inside the main body 10. You can. The current supply unit 40 consists of a + electrode and a - electrode to supply current from an external power source, and is connected to the metal rod 21 to supply current.

The supply of current can be single-phase or three-phase. In the case of a single phase, four supports (20) can be used, and it is preferable that the basic configuration is at least four metal diaphragms (30), and depending on the temperature, 2 You can also increase each number to an even number. In addition, in the case of three phase, 6 or 9 supports (20) can be used, and it is preferable that they are made up of at least 6 metal diaphragms (30). Depending on the temperature, the number can be increased by 3 to 9, 12, 15, etc. there is. As an example of this, it has a structure in which nine metal diaphragms 30 having the shape of a polygonal pyramid are arranged side by side at a predetermined interval. As the number of these metal diaphragms 30 increases, the fluid heating effect can be increased. . Accordingly, current is supplied to the metal diaphragm 30 through the metal rod 21 connected to the current supply unit 40, and the plurality of metal diaphragms 30 are arranged to be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval, between which Water is ionized into positive and negative ions and moves between the metal diaphragm 30 dozens of times per second, generating heat through mutual friction between water molecules. This is explained in more detail as follows.

First, alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) exists as a method of supplying current through the current supply unit 40. First, when current is supplied through alternating current (AC), the voltage can vary from 100 to 420 V, and the AC power supplied to homes in Korea is usually 220 V, 60 Hz. Here, in the case of 60 Hz, the fluid is ionized as the current direction changes 60 times per second, thereby generating electrical vibration in the metal diaphragm 30 and heating the fluid, and in the case of 50 Hz, the ionized water is ionized 50 times per second. As the molecules move between the metal diaphragm 30, the fluid is heated. In addition, when current is supplied in the direct current (DC) method, as the current value increases, the wavelength increases and the amount of ions produced due to ionization of water molecules can further increase.

The principle of the metal diaphragm 30 is that when an electric current is supplied, the water supplied inside is rapidly electrolyzed and expanded at high pressure into oxygen and hydrogen bubbles, generating high-temperature vortex cavitation, and recombining again to turn into water, thereby generating electrical energy. As vibration and thermal vibration occurs, more heat (approximately 120 to 150% more heat) is output than the initial input energy. When using the metal diaphragm 30 as described above, the water itself becomes a medium and heat is generated, compared to the conventional heating method using a medium called a heater rod (a method of heating water with indirect heat by directly heating a metal resistor). Therefore, the heat generation efficiency is much higher, and compared to the heating method used in conventional ion electric boilers (when electricity is directly supplied to water with electrodes, electrolytic water is ionized and heat is generated through mutual friction between water molecules), it does not require electrolyzed water. It is more efficient because the water itself generates heat, and even when there is no water inside the heating device, the water itself serves as a medium, so there is no risk of fire. In other words, by generating heat from the water itself without a separate heating medium, the heating efficiency can be increased by outputting a much higher amount of heat than the heating efficiency of an ion electric boiler, and compared to many heater rod electric boilers of the same class, the annual operating cost can be reduced by 30%. It has the advantage of being able to save more than ~50%. In addition, as the heater rod is continuously used inside the boiler, problems such as destruction or corrosion due to hardening may occur, but it has the advantage of being able to be used semi-permanently without the above problems.

In the present invention, the metal diaphragm 30 is formed in the shape of a polygonal pyramid whose upper and lower parts are open and whose diameter narrows toward the top.

The metal diaphragm 30 is composed of a plurality of metal diaphragms and operates on the principle that water is heated by the ionization process that occurs between them. As described above, the metal diaphragm 30 is formed in the shape of a polygonal pyramid with the upper and lower parts open, allowing water to easily flow in from the lower part. This allows heated water to be easily discharged to the top.

In the present invention, in the metal diaphragm 30 made of a polygonal pyramid, the length of the opposite side of the upper dodecagon forming the upper opening of the polygonal pyramid is (1/5.5 * the length of the opposite side of the lower square forming the lower opening) ), the length of the side hypotenuse is (2/3 * the length of the opposite side of the lower square), and the distance between the plurality of metal diaphragms is (1/5.5 * the length of the opposite side of the lower square). In the present invention, in the metal diaphragm 30 made of a polygonal pyramid, the length of the opposite side of the upper opening of the polygonal pyramid is (1/5.5 * length of the opposite side of the lower opening), and the length of the side hypotenuse is, It is composed of (2/3 * length of opposite sides of the lower opening), and the interval between the plurality of metal diaphragms is composed of (1/5.5 * length of opposite sides of the lower opening). As described above, by manufacturing a plurality of metal diaphragms 30 consisting of a polygonal pyramid and a polygonal pyramid to form one set, optimal efficiency can be achieved when heat is generated.

Here, the fixing flange 31 may be formed on the lower side of the metal diaphragm 30, which is formed as a polygonal pyramid. In the case where it is formed as a polygonal pyramid, it is preferable that 6 to 9 metal diaphragms 30 are arranged at predetermined intervals. . Accordingly, compared to a metal diaphragm formed of a flat plate, a larger surface area can be obtained based on the same body portion 10, thereby maximizing the vibration generation effect. The bubble is guided through the inclined surface of the polygonal pyramid, forming a narrow hole at the top. Since it is ejected through the pump, it has the advantage of allowing rapid diffusion of heat without requiring much pump power.

In the present invention, a fixing flange 31 is formed to protrude from the lower side of the metal diaphragm 30 and is fixed to a predetermined position of the metal rod passing through it.

The fixing flange 31 is configured to connect the metal rod 21 and the metal diaphragm 30 to each other, and may be formed on each lower side of the metal diaphragm 30 with respect to its central axis. Accordingly, two or three fixing flanges 31 formed on the metal diaphragm 30 are inserted into the metal rod 21 and spaced apart at a predetermined distance, and the second metal diaphragm 30 is inserted into the metal rod 21 and aligned in a row. It has a structure of a plurality of metal vibration plates 30 arranged. Here, the fixing flanges 31 may be alternately arranged at intervals of 180°. More specifically, among the metal diaphragms 30, the first metal diaphragm 30 is disposed, and the next metal diaphragm 30 is located at a different position from the fixing flange 31 of the first metal diaphragm 30, Preferably, the metal diaphragm 30 may be installed so as to be disposed at orthogonal positions. Accordingly, when the current supply unit 40 is connected to the two metal rods 21, it is possible to supply current to the entire metal diaphragm 30, thereby heating the fluid. Preferably, there are a plurality of metal diaphragms 30. In other words, the effect of heating water can be increased by using 4 or 6 ion heaters.

A polygonal ion heating element according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described as follows. In the present invention, the plurality of metal diaphragms 30 are arranged in a row, and the fixing flanges 31 can be arranged interlaced at intervals of 120°, which means that the metal diaphragms 30 are divided into six pieces. A three-phase structure is also possible, and may consist of nine. Accordingly, the fixing flange 31 of the metal diaphragm 30 is arranged at 120° intervals from the bottom, and includes the 1st, 4th, and 7th metal diaphragms 30, the 2nd, 5th, and 8th metal diaphragms 30, The 3rd, 6th, and 9th metal diaphragms (30) share the same metal rod (21). Therefore, when current is supplied through the metal rod 21, the current is applied to the entire metal diaphragm 30, and the water is ionized and a heating effect is achieved. The number of metal diaphragms 30 is not limited to 6 or 9, but may be more, and the heat generation efficiency increases accordingly.

In the present invention, it further includes a temperature sensor 50 or a grounding sensor 60 extending upward from the support portion 20.

The temperature sensor 50 is installed embedded in the support part 20 and extends upward, and is configured to measure the temperature of the fluid supplied inside the main body. In addition, the grounding sensor 60 is configured to detect current flowing in a source other than the metal rod 21 or the metal diaphragm 30 inside the main body 10, and detects temperature or grounding at the uppermost part of the extended sensor. A sensor for measuring may be configured.

In order to do so, it may be formed to surround the outer portion of the metal rod 21. In addition, its shape is made of a truncated cone shape whose diameter increases toward the bottom, enabling more stable support by increasing the area of the part in contact with the support portion 20.
