Description

AN INTEGRATED HEATING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Technical field
The present invention relates to an integrated heating system of the type having the features mentioned in the preamble of the principal claim.
Technological background
In this technical field there is a known way of using multiple heat sources thermally coupled to one or more users.
The sources typically, although not necessarily, comprise fluid circuits which are heated by a conventional boiler, by an array of solar panels, a heat pump, or a geothermal source.
The users typically, but not necessarily, comprise fluid circuits for supplying a heating installation or for distributing domestic water.
An integrated system as described above usually comprises a storage reservoir filled with a fluid thermal mass, generally in the form of water.
The circuits of the sources and users comprise pluralities of coils and/or bundles of tubes housed in the storage reservoir and in thermal contact with the fluid mass. The exchange mechanism is such that each of the circuits of the sources transfers heat, via the corresponding coil or bundle of tubes housed in the storage reservoir, to the fluid thermal mass, which in turn transfers heat to the corresponding coils of the user circuits.
An electrical resistance device can be used as an auxiliary heating system to keep the thermal mass at the correct temperature for heat transfer to the users. The fluid thermal mass contained in the storage reservoir can also be used directly as water for the heating installation or as domestic water.
The main drawback of this solution is that the heat exchange mechanism created in this way in the storage reservoir relies on the passage of heat through the fluid thermal mass in the storage reservoir, and therefore its efficiency is not optimal.
Description of the invention
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an integrated heating system which is structurally and functionally designed to overcome all the drawbacks of the cited prior art. This object and others which are described below are taken into account and achieved by the invention by means of an integrated heating system comprising a storage reservoir constructed according to the claims below.
Brief description of the drawings
The features and advantages of the invention will be made clearer by the following detailed description of two preferred embodiments thereof, illustrated, for the purposes of guidance and in a non-limiting way, with reference to the appended drawings, in which :
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an integrated heating system constructed according to the invention; - Figure 2 is a cut-away perspective view of a component of the system of Figure 1.
Preferred embodiment of the invention
An integrated heating system 1, shown schematically in Figure 1, for a dwelling 2 comprises a storage reservoir 3 for a fluid thermal mass. This thermal mass is preferably, although not necessarily, formed by water. The integrated heating system 1 comprises at least one heating circuit which is partially housed in the reservoir 3 to heat the fluid thermal mass. The reservoir 3 is cylindrical, with domed ends. The preferred example of Figure 1 provides a first heating circuit 4 with a solar collector 5, installed on the roof of the dwelling 2, and a second heating circuit 6 with a heat pump 6d. Each of the heating circuits comprises a corresponding hot branch 4a, 6a entering the reservoir 3 and a corresponding cold branch 4b, 6b leaving the reservoir 3. Two circulating pumps 4c and 6c are provided on the cold branches 4b and 6b respectively. Clearly, it is possible to use any type of heating circuit, alone or in combination with those described above, in other preferred embodiments of the invention (not shown). Examples of heating circuits which can be used are boiler heating circuits and those using geothermal sources. The integrated heating system 1 also comprises at least one user circuit which is partially housed in the reservoir 3 so as to be heated by the fluid thermal mass. In the preferred example of Figure 1, there is a first domestic water circuit 7 and a second circuit 8 for heating the dwelling 2. Each of the user circuits 7,8 comprises a corresponding cold branch 7a, 8a entering the reservoir 3 and a corresponding hot branch 7b, 8b leaving the reservoir 3. Two circulating pumps 7c and 8c are provided on the branches 7a and 8b respectively. Clearly, it is possible to use any type of user circuit, alone or in combination with those described above, in other preferred embodiments of the invention (not shown). A connection is provided between the integrated heating system 1 and a cold water supply line 9, which is connected to the storage reservoir 3, by means of the branch 9a, and to the domestic water circuit 7, by means of the three-way valve 10. The reservoir 3 also comprises a supplementary electric heating device 11.
With reference to the variant embodiment of Figure 2, the integrated heating system 1 comprises only one heating circuit 6 with a heat pump and two user circuits 7 and 8, for domestic water and for heating the spaces of the dwelling 2 respectively.
The storage reservoir 3 of Figure 2 includes an internal manifold 12 connected to the hot branch 6a of the circuit 6. The manifold 12 is connected to one end of a tube bundle 13, housed in the reservoir 3. The manifold 14, connected to the cold branch 6b of the circuit 6, is connected to the other end of the tube bundle 13.
A portion of the tube bundle 13 is interposed between the tubes of a tube bundle 15 of the user circuit 7, while the remainder of the tube bundle 13 is interposed between the tubes of a tube bundle 16 of the user circuit 8. The arrangement of the tubes is such that they are aligned in corresponding alternating rows such that each row of the tube bundle 13 is interposed between two successive rows of the tube bundle 15, or of the tube bundle 16. The overall dimensions of the tube bundle 13 are practically equal to the whole inside dimensions of the reservoir 3. The tube bundles 15 and 16 are interposed in two respective halves of the tube bundle 13. Two manifolds 17 and 18 are connected to the respective ends of the tube bundle 15. The manifolds 17 and 18 are also connected to the branches 7a and 7b respectively of the user circuit 7. A manifold 19 is connected to one end of the tube bundle 16, while the other end of the tube bundle 16 is open and communicates with the inside of the reservoir 3, which is then filled with the water of the installation for heating the living spaces of the dwelling 2. This water acts as the fluid thermal mass in the reservoir 3. The manifold 19 is connected to the cold branch 8b of the user circuit 8. The reservoir 3 is directly connected to the hot branch of the user circuit 8, via the hole 20 in the base of the reservoir 3.
A system of fins 21, comprising a plurality of plates 22 which are parallel to each other and spaced apart, is provided in the reservoir to interconnect the tube bundles 13, 15 and 16. The plates 22 are penetrated transversely by tubes of the tube bundles 13, 15 and 16, thus forming a heat exchange bridge between the heating circuit 6 and the user circuits 7 and 8 and an exchange member between the circuits 6, 7 and 8 and the fluid thermal mass. The assembly formed by the system of fins 21 and the tube bundles 13, 15 and 16 is supported on and connected to the inner walls of the reservoir 3 by means of brackets 23a, b.
The reservoir 3 constructed in this way enables direct exchanges to be made between the heating circuits and the user circuits through the system of fins 21, without the need to transfer the thermal power to the fluid thermal mass beforehand.
Thus the present invention resolves the problem of the prior art identified above, while also offering numerous benefits. Among these, the possibility of using the large exchange surfaces formed by the plates 22 of the system of fins 21, with evident benefits in terms of energy and economy. If a heat pump 6d is used, the reservoir 3 acts as a condenser for the corresponding tube bundle 13, transferring the thermal power directly from the coolant to the reservoir 3. Finally, it is possible to keep the water for domestic use completely confined in a suitable circuit, thus preventing accumulation and stagnation which might cause the formation of agents which endanger health.
