Description
HEATING DEVICE / STORAGE OF FLUID HEATED BY FUEL WITH SYSTEM IN LOOP
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to fuel-heated fluid heating devices and, in representatively illustrated embodiments thereof, more particularly provides a fuel-heated water heater having a specially designed multistep condensing-type heat exchanger. incorporated in it. Conventional fuel-heated water heaters are typically of a "one-step" non-condensing configuration, implying that the hot combustion gases used to heat the water stored in the tank are only subjected to a single pass through. a heat exchanger structure
(normally a vertical duct) inside the tank before discharging the water heater to, for example, an external vent structure, and that the condensation of the flue gas does not occur to any appreciable degree in the structure of the heat exchanger inside the heater tank of water. In this conventional type of fuel-heated water heater, the overall thermal efficiency is typically limited to about 80-85%. Various proposals have been made to provide fuel-heated water heaters with condensation-type single-pass heat exchangers (i.e., in which the combustion gases condense inside the heat exchanger). However, previously proposed one-step condensation type heat exchange structures incorporated in fuel-heated water heaters typically provide water heaters with limited thermal performances in the range of 85-90%. In an attempt to increase its thermal efficiency above 95%, multi-stage condensation heat exchangers of various configurations and types have been proposed for installation within the portions of the tank of water heaters heated by fuel. While such previously proposed multistep condensing type heat exchangers have met this thermal performance goal, several problems, limitations and disadvantages have also been undesirably presented. These include increased complexity of the heat exchanger, higher material and manufacturing costs, condensation handling problems, increased operational noise, and reduced operational life of the heat exchanger. Thus, it may be desirable to provide a fuel heated water heater, or other type of fuel heated fluid heating device, with an improved multipass condensing type heat exchanger. It is mainly to this goal that the present invention is directed. In carrying out the principles of the present invention, in accordance with representative embodiments thereof, a fuel-heated fluid heating apparatus is provided which is representatively a commercially heated water heater for fuel, but

BRIEF DESCRIPTION D? THE DRAWINGS FIGURE 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view through a representative fuel-heated water heater having incorporated therein a specially designed condensing type multi-stage heat exchanger representing the principles of the present invention; and FIGURE 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view through an alternative embodiment of FIGURE 1 of the water heater. In the cross-section schematically illustrated in FIGURE 1 there is a heating / storage device for fuel-heated fluid with loop system representing the principles of the present invention, the device representatively is a commercially heated fuel water heater 10 having a condensation type multi-stage heat exchanger 12 specially designed to be submerged in the stored water 14, pressurized in a portion 16 of the externally insulated tank. As used herein, the term "commercial" water heater means, as is commonly accepted in the water heater industry, a water booster having a heating input rate typically around about 75,000 Btu / Hr. , and a hot water temperature of approximately 82.22 ° C (180 ° F) or more. While the device 10 illustrated is representatively a commercial water heater, it may alternatively be a non-commercial water heater, or another type of heating device for fuel-heated fluid, such as a boiler, without departing from the principles of the present invention. During the heating of the water heater 10, the hot combustion gases 18 of a fuel burner 20 flow over the water heater through the heat exchanger 12 to transfer heat of combustion, with a thermal efficiency of 95% or more, in the water 14 stored. The burner 20 can be either an energized fuel burner or a non-energized fuel burner. When required, pressurized hot water 14 stored in tank 16 can be removed therefrom via an outlet adapter 21 mounted in the tank. Automatically, the extracted water 14 is replaced with pressurized cold water, from a source thereof, through an inlet adapter 23 mounted in the tank. The heat exchanger 12 is of a three-step configuration and includes a vertical conduit portion 22 connected at its upper end to the outlet of the burner 20 and connected at its lower end to a dome-shaped central primary combustion gas impeller 24. inverted circumscribed horizontally by an impeller 26 annular secondary combustion gas manifold having a bottom wall which is vertically inclined in a downward and straight manner as indicated by the arrow 27 inclined in FIGURE 1. A series of tubes 28 in vertically extending inverted U-shape (of which only two are shown in FIGURE 1) are separated around the central conduit 22. Each inverted U-shaped tube 28 has a leg 28a connected and communicated with the central impeller 24 and another leg 28b connected to the annular outer impeller 26 as shown. A flue gas exhaust pipe 30 is connected on the inner side of the annular impeller 26 and has, external to the water heater, a condensate drain adapter 32. A submerged condensate line 34 is interconnected between the inner side of the central impeller 24 and an inlet portion of the exhaust pipe 30 as shown.
During heating of the water heater 10, the combustion gas 18 discharged from the burner 20 sequentially makes a first downward passage through the vertical central duct portion 22, a second passage from the central impeller 24 ascendingly through the legs 28a of the U-shaped tube, and a third downward passage through the legs 28b of the U-shaped tube in the annular outer impeller 26, with the condensation 35 from the combustion gas 18 formed inside the legs 28b of the U-shaped tube as shown. The condensate of the annular impeller 26 flows into the exhaust pipe 30, and any condensate that may be in the central impeller 24 also flows towards the exhaust pipe 30 through the inclined line of condensate. The modified water heater 10a shown in
FIGURE 2 is identical to the water heater 10 of FIGURE 1 with the exception that in the modified heat exchanger 12a, the inverted U-shaped tubes 28 (see FIGURE 1) are replaced with straight vertical second pass pipes 36 and tubes 38 of the third straight vertical step. As illustrated in FIGURE 2, the second pass tubes 36 are interconnected between the impeller 24 and a top transfer impeller 40 disposed in the insulation 42 above the upper end 44 of the top of the tank 16, and the tubes 38 of the third step are interconnected between the impellers 26 and 40. During the heating of the water heater 10a, the combustion gases 18 from the burner 20 flow sequentially downwardly through the portion 22 of the vertical central duct towards the central impeller 24 , ascending from the impeller 24 through the vertical tubes 36 towards the upper impeller 40 at the top, and then downwardly from the upper impeller 40 through the vertical tubes 38 towards the inner annular impeller 26 from which discharge through the tube 30 exhaust. The condenser 35 formed in the third passage tubes 38 is discharged from the heat exchanger 12a in a manner similar to that previously described together with the heat exchanger 12 of FIGURE 1. Compared with conventional multistep condensing type heat exchangers used in water heaters heated by fuel, the heat exchangers 12, 12a representatively illustrated and described herein provide a variety of advantages which include, for example, the ability to provide their water heaters associated with thermal performances well in excess of 95%, simplified configuration of the heat exchanger, reduced material and manufacturing costs, quieter operation, increased life of the heat exchanger, and improved condensate handling. As will be readily appreciated by one of skill in this particular art, heat exchangers 12 and 12a representatively illustrated, may have other orientations within their associated water heaters 10 and 10a without departing from the principles of the present invention. For example, the heat exchangers 12 and 12a, with minor modifications thereto, may alternatively and horizontally be oriented within their associated water heaters 10 and 10a. The above detailed description will be clearly understood as being given by way of illustration and example only, the spirit and scope of the present invention are limited only by the appended claims.
