Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heat exchanger that heats and heats water flowing into the heat absorption pipe via two headers by combustion exhaust.
- a latent heat recovery type heat exchanger mounted on a high thermal efficiency water heater has a plurality of heat absorption pipes arranged in a case serving as a passage for combustion exhaust, and both pipe ends of the heat absorption pipes are arranged with a predetermined height difference.
- the pipe ends of these endothermic tubes are connected separately to two headers provided on the side plate of the case, and water is sent from the external piping to each endothermic tube through this header to condense the water vapor in the combustion exhaust and recover the latent heat.
- the heat absorption tube is made thinner. That is, by reducing the size of the heat absorption tube, more heat absorption tubes are arranged in the limited space of the case, and the heat transfer area of the entire heat absorption tube is widened.
- reducing the size of the endothermic tube when water is drained from the endothermic tube to prevent freezing in the endothermic tube in winter, a water film is formed at the pipe end opening of the endothermic tube due to the surface tension of the water. There was a problem that water remained in the downstream portion in the direction of flowing water in the endothermic tube. Therefore, when the endothermic tube is made thin, it is desirable that the endothermic tube be drained smoothly.
- both pipe ends of a plurality of heat absorption tubes 91 accommodated in the case 90 are passed through the side plates 92 of the case 90, and the heat absorption tubes 91 exposed from the side plates 92 are exposed.
- An extension pipe body 93 that bends downward is connected to one end of the pipe, and a header 94 is attached to the lower end of the extension pipe body 93, and the heat absorption pipe 91 is drained through the header 94 (for example, , See Patent Document 2).
- the heat exchanger 9 is provided with the extended pipe 93 and the header 94 protruding from the case 90, downsizing of the heat exchanger 9 is hindered. Moreover, since it is necessary to provide the extending tube 93 for each of the plurality of heat absorption tubes 91, there is a problem that the number of assembly steps increases due to an increase in the number of parts, an increase in brazing points, and the like.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and even when the endothermic tube is made thin, heat exchange in which the endothermic tube is appropriately drained with a simple configuration without hindering downsizing. It is an object to provide a vessel.
- the heat exchanger according to the present invention is Heat absorption tubes are arranged in multiple stages in the case serving as a passage for combustion exhaust, and both pipe ends of each heat absorption tube are individually connected to two headers provided on the side plate of the case, and sent from the external piping into the heat absorption tube through the header.

- the connection port for connection for connection.
- the drainage channel is constituted by a concave groove formed in the drainage plate extending in the vertical direction, It is desirable that the groove has a groove width narrower than the diameter of the pipe end opening and communicates with the pipe end opening. According to this, at the time of draining the heat absorption pipe, the water that has reached the pipe end opening on the low position side travels through the concave groove formed in the drain plate and extends in the vertical direction from the pipe end opening to the outside of the header. Since it is discharged to the connection port for pipe connection, formation of a water film at the pipe end opening is prevented. Therefore, even when the diameter of the endothermic tube is reduced, the water does not remain in the downstream portion of the endothermic tube in the direction of water flow, and the endothermic tube is surely drained.
- the drainage channel is constituted by a gap between the pipe end opening and the drainage plate,
- the gap may be set to be equal to or less than the rising amount of the water film formed in the pipe end opening due to the surface tension of water.
- the drain plate is constituted by a water permeable member. Therefore, since water can pass smoothly through the drain plate, even when a normal hot water discharge operation is performed, it can be smoothly performed without disturbing the flow of water to the heat absorption pipe via the header. .
- the lower end of the pipe end opening on the lower position side of the heat absorption pipe is set above the lower end of the connection port for connecting the external pipe of the header. According to this, at the time of draining the heat absorption pipe, in addition to the above action, the water that has reached the pipe end opening on the lower position side is not connected to the lower end of the pipe end opening and the connection port for connecting the external pipe of the header. Due to the difference in height from the lower end, the pipe is smoothly discharged from the pipe end opening to the connection port for connecting the external pipe of the header. Therefore, the formation of a water film at the pipe end opening is more reliably prevented when draining the heat absorption tube. Therefore, even when the diameter of the endothermic tube is reduced by reducing the diameter, water does not remain in the downstream portion of the endothermic tube in the flowing water direction, and the endothermic tube is surely drained.

上記吸熱管の低位置側に配設されるヘッダには、吸熱管内の水抜き時に吸熱管のパイプ端開口部に達した水の水抜き流路を形成するための水抜き板が、上下に配設された複数のパイプ端開口部に対して連続して対向配置されている。
上記凹溝は、パイプ端開口部の口径よりも溝幅が狭く且つパイプ端開口部に連通されていることが望ましい。
これによれば、吸熱管の水抜き時には、低位置側のパイプ端開口部に達した水は、水抜き板に形成された上下方向に延びる凹溝を伝ってパイプ端開口部からヘッダの外部配管接続用の接続口へ排出されるから、そのパイプ端開口部における水膜の形成が阻止される。従って、吸熱管の細管化によりその口径を小さくした場合でも、吸熱管内の流水方向の下流部に水が残留せず、確実に吸熱管の水抜きが行われる。
上記間隙は、水の表面張力に起因してパイプ端開口部に形成される水膜の盛り上がり量以下に設定されるものとしても良い。
これによれば、吸熱管の水抜き時には、低位置側のパイプ端開口部に達した水は、パイプ端開口部と水抜き板との間隙を伝ってパイプ端開口部からヘッダの外部配管接続用の接続口へ円滑に排出されるから、そのパイプ端開口部における水膜の形成が阻止される。従って、吸熱管の細管化によりその口径を小さくした場合でも、吸熱管内の流水方向の下流部に水が残留せず、確実に吸熱管の水抜きが行われる。
これにより、水が水抜き板を円滑に通過することができるので、通常の出湯動作が行われる際にもヘッダを介した吸熱管への水の流通を妨げることがなく円滑に行うことができる。
これによれば、吸熱管の水抜き時には、上記作用に加えて、低位置側のパイプ端開口部に達した水は、そのパイプ端開口部の下端とヘッダの外部配管接続用の接続口の下端との高低差によってパイプ端開口部からヘッダの外部配管接続用の接続口へ円滑に排出される。従って、吸熱管の水抜き時にそのパイプ端開口部における水膜の形成が一層確実に阻止される。よって、吸熱管の細管化によりその口径を小さくした場合でも、吸熱管内の流水方向の下流部に水が残留せず、確実に吸熱管の水抜きが行われる。
上記吸熱管の低位置側では、最下段の吸熱管のパイプ端開口部が、下から二段目の吸熱
管のパイプ端開口部よりも後方に配置されることが望ましい。
上記構成によれば、低位置側において、最下段の吸熱管のパイプ端開口部を下から二段目の吸熱管のパイプ端開口部より前方に配置した場合と比べて、ヘッダの上下長さを長くすることなく、最下段の吸熱管のパイプ端開口部の下端をヘッダの外部配管接続用の接続口の下端よりも上方へ容易に配置することができる。従って、熱交換器の小型化を阻害することもない。
図1に示すように、潜熱回収型の給湯器1は、外装ケース10内には、ガスバーナ3を内蔵する燃焼筐体30と、燃焼筐体30の上方に配置されて主に燃焼排気中の顕熱を回収する主熱交換器4と、主熱交換器4の上方に配置されて主に燃焼排気中の潜熱を回収する副熱交換器5とを備えている。燃焼筐体30の底部には燃焼筐体30内に燃焼用空気を供給する給気ファン2が設置されている。
口501が開設されており、ケース50の上部には、横通路500と外装ケース10外の空間とを連通する排気口502が開設されている。
率化を達成させている。ところが、吸熱管51を細管化すると、吸熱管51内の水抜きを行う際、水の表面張力に起因してパイプ端開口部51Aに水膜が形成され、吸熱管51の下流部に水が残留する可能性がある。そこで、本実施形態では、吸熱管51を細管化しても、水抜きが円滑に行われるようにするため、以下のように構成する。
51の水抜きが確実に行われる。
(1)上記実施の形態では、水抜き板56の凹溝561の開口側の面が、パイプ端開口部51Aの周縁に接した状態で保持される構成のものを説明したが、図8および図9に示す水抜き板57のように、その凹溝571の開口側の面とパイプ端開口部51Aの周縁との間に所定幅の間隙57Sを設けた構成のものであっても良い。この間隙57Sは、水の表面張力に起因してパイプ端開口部51Aに形成される水膜の盛り上がり量以下(例えば、パイプ端開口部51Aの口径が10mmで、間隙57Sが略1mm)に設定されており、この間隙57Sが各パイプ端開口部51Aに達した水の水抜き流路を形成する。
