Description

BYPASS WATER VOLUME CONTROLLER

[001] The present patent application discloses a device which aims to identify the right time to interrupt the diversion water flow of a system that diverts water from pipelines or water ducts for later reuse. Specifically, it is a device that enhances the system of the COLD WATER RECOVERY RESERVOIR and the HEAT RECOVERY RESERVOIR, described in the patent letter BR 10 2014 008516-5, with title of INTEGRATED CLEAN WATER RECOVERY SYSTEM HEATING WATER PIPES THERMAL POWER PLANT, filed on 09/04/2014 by the same inventor and holder of this current application. It belongs to the technical field of water saving, thermal energy recovery and civil engineering.

[002] Charter BR 10 2014 008516-5 describes an integrated set of pipelines, reservoirs and flow switches that recover water and thermal energy by properly conducting water through pre-established piping circuits. It is applicable in buildings with central heating system, where two piping systems usually coexist, one conducting unheated water and the other conducting heated water. Since these pipelines drain into outlets like taps and showers where water mixes from both systems to achieve the ideal temperature. The above-mentioned charter solves two waste problems (water loss and thermal energy loss): in the resting phase, when heated water is not required there is no water flow, and the water that remains in the pipeline cools. When heated water is required, the cooled water in the pipes must be thrown away by the taps or showers so that the heated water can reach them, wasting water. The other problem occurs after the use of heated water, which is stopped in the pipes, which eventually cools, causing loss of thermal energy.

[003] Charter BR 10 2014 008516-5 proposed the following devices: COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR and THERMAL ENERGY RECOVERY RESERVOIR. Both are described as reservoirs that receive diversion water and reintroduce this collection of water into the water pipes. A brief review will be performed in Figure 1, but superficially the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR receives and stores water that has cooled in hot water pipes and reintroduces it into the cold water ducts. The HEAT RECOVERY RESERVOIR receives and stores still-heated water that has become stagnant in the hot water pipes and reintroduced it upstream of the central heater to take advantage of thermal energy.

One of the problems presented in this charter BR 10 2014 008516-5 is the way to identify the right time to stop the diversion of chilled water when heated water arrives at the points of use, as well as to promote the interruption of this flow. The document cited proposes thermal sensors to identify the arrival of hot water to end-use water devices such as taps and showers. In order to interrupt the diversion of water movement to the COLD WATER RECOVERY RESERVOIR or to the HEAT RECOVERY RESERVOIR, it is necessary to wait for a message as a sound or light signal triggered by the thermal sensors which causes discomfort of use, as people they would have to wait for this signal to trigger the diversion interruption. In that charter, BR 10 2014 008516-5, electromechanical systems are mentioned as alternatives for interrupting the diversion of water movement to the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR or for the HEAT RECOVERY RESERVOIR, however the use of Electromechanical methods add an additional cost in addition to increasing the complexity of the system. The use of flow meters are also complex and not very simple maintenance solutions. So finding a solution that identifies the right time to stop the hot water bypass flow and trigger that flow interruption is not trivial as the solution is expected to be robust and inexpensive.

[005] The solution presented by this current application, filed today, designs an automatic and mechanical system with the aim of being cheap and robust to identify the right moment and automatically interrupt the flow of diversion. chilled water for the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR or for THERMAL POWER RECOVERY RESERVOIR, increasing user comfort as it is not required to keep watch over the system to trigger flow interruption. In addition, we sought to develop a solution that had low installation and maintenance costs.

[006] The solution designed in this patent application called BYPASS WATER VOLUME CONTROLLER consists of a reservoir with volume that can be set to dispense the amount of diverted water and which is inserted upstream of the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR or THERMAL ENERGY RECOVERY RESERVOIR. It is the insertion of a reservoir with synchronized actuation keys (closing and opening of flows). This tank's inlet and outlet routes are designed to chain the opening and closing phases of switches, level valves and shutters, manual or automated, to allow comfortable and automatic use of the water to be reused.

[007] Another situation where water wastes occurs is in the water mixer plumbing of the showers downstream of the heated and unheated water flow regulating switches. Right after the flow switches that regulate the mixing of water in the showers occurs the mixture of heated water and unheated water to reach the ideal temperature for the bath. The regulator of this mixture is the user himself requiring that it balances this mixture by regulating the flow opening of these two flow switches. However, in some installations the meeting point of these mixtures may be very low and the pipe leading to the water outlet may be long and delay reaching the user. Since the user is the regulator of this mixture itself, he would have to wait to make a new adjustment until the water mixture travels the distance between the flow switches and the shower water outlet. In this waiting period the water that was still in the pipeline, which conducts the mixture, is not at the ideal temperature and ends up being thrown away. This patent application also proposes solutions to reuse this waste water.

[009] As illustrated in Figure 1, the clean water recovery cycle that cools down in heated water pipelines already described by the INTEGRATED CLEAN WATER RECOVERY AND HEATED WATER HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM is described. 10 2014 008516-5. It is not the subject of this claim yet, but is added by way of descriptive sufficiency to this document. Unheated water pipes (4) with their building wall outlet (6) and heated water pipes (5) with their building wall outlet (7) are shown. Water end devices such as taps or showers are shown (1, 2, 3, 13, 14 or 15) showing the unheated tap wrench (2 and 13), the heated tap wrench (3 and 14) , the spout (1) and the hot and cold water mixer (15). Also illustrated is a toilet (25) with the associated flush box (26), Traditional flush box that stores water and supplies water to the toilet. By way of understanding, we are not going to briefly consider in this paragraph the innovation objects of this application, which will only be presented in the other figures, starting from figure 2. So, according to figure 1, the cycle of the INTEGRATED WATER RECOVERY SYSTEM CLEANING AND HEATING WATER HEATING PIPES is described below. Initially, water that cools in heated water pipes is captured by a CONTROLLED FLOW DIVER (16), after opening the controller switch (21), passes through a HOT WATER MINIMIZER RESERVOIR (17) to dilute it. the water passage is eventually heated and is conducted through a CONTROLLED FLOW DIVER (20) to the COOLED WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8). This COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8) has a level valve (9) that regulates water inlet from unheated pipelines, but below the total reservoir capacity (8) so that it can receive water. from the CONTROLLED FLOW DIVER (20). When the unheated water tap (2 and 13) is opened, the bypass water is used up to the level set by the level valve (9), but from a level lower than that set by the level valve (9). ) the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8) receives water from the unheated water pipes (4 and 1 1) providing continuous flow of water to ducts (12) that supply the unheated water tap (2 and 13) , showers or toilets (25 and 26). This is the cycle already described by the INTEGRATED CLEAN WATER RECOVERY AND HEAT WATER RECOVERY SYSTEM deposited in Brazil under the number BR 10 2014 008516-5.

According to what is illustrated in figures 2 to 17, the innovations designed for the bypass water volume controller object of this application are presented. The descriptions concerning the numbering of each figure are the basis for all figures of this patent application.

According to what is illustrated in figure 2, the bypass water volume controller (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 31 and 32) is shown. The object of this current request is the reservoir (18) bypass water volume controller which has inlet water (31) regulated by level valve (19), which may be a float tap (19) which receives water from CONTROLLED FLOW (20). Reservoir (18) bypass water volume controller that has water outlet duct (32) with conductive water duct (22) that supplies water to the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8) with key (23) flow between these two reservoirs (8 and 18). The volume (18) of this reservoir is designed to be user adjustable according to the level valve and determines the appropriate volume so that chilled water diverted from heated water pipes (5) comes close to end-use devices (3). and 14). The cycle for dosing the amount of diverted water begins with the reservoir (18) empty, the system having the water diverting switch (21) closed and the outlet switch (23) of the reservoir (18) closed. By opening the bypass switch (21), water is transferred to the reservoir (18) to the level stipulated by the level valve (19) in the amount required for chilled water to be diverted from heated water pipes (5). ) come close to end use devices (3 and 14). When the reservoir (18) is filled the water diverter switch (21) is closed. Then, the key (23) for conducting water from the water metering reservoir (18) is opened to the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8) with subsequent closure of this key (23) after emptying the reservoir (8).

As shown in Figure 3, an arrangement of the bypass water volume controller (18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 31 and 32) is shown. The combination of the water reservoir (18) bypass water volume controller and the WATER REPLACEMENT RESERVOIR (8) is designed which has communication (38) with discharge box reservoir (26) (high or low). a toilet (25). Another duct (37) connects the WATER REPLACEMENT RESERVOIR (8) to the unheated water pipeline (4). In this drawing, the arrangement is presented, wherein the keys (21 and 23) are unified into a single controller body (24), in which the closing and opening steps are internally synchronized by sequential water circuits within that key. (24). According to what is illustrated in figure 4, the bypass water volume controller (18) is illustrated. This arrangement is designed to be simple and robust to facilitate industrial production. It solves the problem of sequencing four steps: opening and closing the water inlet in the reservoir (18) and opening and closing the water outlet in the reservoir (18), which may be in a different sequence. The solution obtained requires only manual activation to sequence these four steps and to have hot water available near the places of use. This solution requires an initial activation, such as a button, lever or lanyard and the system will be ready for use (after a short time), and the system closes itself returning to its initial state ready for use again. It is associated with the reservoir (18) a water level valve (19) at its inlet (31) and a plug (33 and 42) at the outlet (32). The level valve (19) solves the process of performing full volume filling and automatic closing of water inlet to the reservoir (18). The shutter (33 and 42) solves the process of performing total emptying of the reservoir (18) with automatic closing of the reservoir water outlet (18). A mechanical rod (34) communicates the lifting movement of the plug (33 and 42) with the level valve key (19) preventing water from entering the water (31) during the emptying of the reservoir (18) , phase in which the shutter is raised. This process of closing the level valve key (19) can be in many ways: upward movement, leverage or otherwise. For purposes of better descriptive sufficiency, the following description is given: Level valve (19) may be of the float type (19) which opens and closes a float tap (19) to regulate water inlet to reservoir (18) when the water reaches above a water level the water inlet is blocked. The shutter (33 and 42) may have a float structure or float (33) associated with a diaphragm (42) that opens and closes the water outlet orifice of the reservoir (18). The float structure 33 is illustrated in the form of a malleable globular structure 33 which may or may not have holes in its underside. The globular structure can serve as a float to keep the shutter (33) afloat by preventing the shutter (33) from closing the water outlet of the reservoir (18) before it empties. According to what is still illustrated in figure 4, the sequence of events that chain the use of the system is shown. Contrary to what might be expected, for this figure, the reservoir 18, in this case, does not start its empty but rather full cycle. Then in the first stage, the water-filled reservoir (18) is already limited in volume by the level valve (19). Pulling the drive cord (36) opens the shutter (33 and 42) which releases water at high flow through a wide duct (40) to the COOLED WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8). As the shutter blocks water ingress through the mechanical rod (34) when it is raised, no water enters the inlet port (31) during the emptying phase of the reservoir (18). After the water is released, the water outlet is closed by means of the shutter (33 and 42) and this shutter (33 and 42) releases, through mechanical communication (34), the water inlet through the inlet (19 and 31). At this stage of reservoir water filling (18), chilled water is diverted from heated water pipelines via duct (39) which picks up chilled water at locations near use devices such as showers and taps. The diverted water is then stored in the reservoir (18) until the next use of heated water. The amount of water to be diverted to the reservoir (18) may be adjusted by adjusting the float level (19) by an adjuster (41) which may be by screw, crank, lever, knob or other control system.

According to what is still illustrated in Figure 4, the simplest form is conceived without the mechanical rod (34) for closing the water inlet in the reservoir (18) by the route (31). In the emptying phase of the reservoir (18), the level valve float (19) goes down and water enters the reservoir (18) through its inlet (31). As this water inlet is slower than its outlet (since the water outlet through the shutter is very fast), the final sum of water in the reservoir (18) is decreasing causing rapid emptying of the reservoir (18). The water outlet of the reservoir (18) is then closed by the shutter (33), and the water filling in the reservoir overlaps and is limited upper by the float (19) until it fills the water in the reservoir (18). If, on the one hand, it becomes more difficult to adjust by the height adjuster (41) the optimum volume to be diverted to the reservoir (18), on the other, gains in parts and maintenance economy. According to what is illustrated in figure 5, the same elements of figure 4 are illustrated with the difference that the lock for closing the water inlet in the reservoir (18) by the way (31) made by the mechanical rod (34). ) is replaced by flow switch (35) downstream of flow switch (19 and 31) reservoir water inlet controller (18). Flow switch (35) connected to shutter (33), sensitive to shutter opening movement (33), which shutter (33 and 42) has a wide upward movement due to the fluctuation effect. Upon opening the plug, it floats and controls the flow switch (35) causing a blockage of water inlet to reservoir (18) being in series with the level valve (19). This effect blocks water from entering the reservoir (18) when it empties, increasing the efficiency of the system. After emptying the reservoir (18), when the shutter (33) closes, opens the key (35) returning to the level valve.

(19) water inlet and outlet control. Thus, with the control returned to the level valve (19), the reservoir (18) refills to the desired level.

As illustrated in Figure 6, a reservoir (18) having a water inlet duct (31) coupled to the level valve (19) with hydrostatic communication with a diverter duct is illustrated for wide-scene purposes. chilled water

(20), also provided with an outlet duct (32) which communicates with the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8) described in the patent letter BR 10 2014 008516-5, with the title of INTEGRATED CLEAN WATER RECOVERY SYSTEM AND HEATING WATER PIPES THERMAL ENERGY having water outlet shutter (33 and 42). The reservoirs 8 and 18 may be separated or combined in one body with continuous or contiguous walls.

[018] As shown in Figure 7, the association of the water reservoir (18) bypass water volume controller with the WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8) which has communication (38) with reservoir has been designed. (26) toilet flush (high or low) (25). A duct (38) communicates between the WATER REPLACEMENT RESERVOIR (8) and the discharge box reservoir (26). Another duct (37) connects the WATER REPLACEMENT RESERVOIR (8) to the unheated water pipeline (4). Association of the reservoir (18) with other reservoirs (8, 17, 25 or 26) of distinct cavities and associating continuous or contiguous walls (lower, upper or side) in a single body to improve the installation and cleaning function. Partial or total combinations of any structure are designed (8, 17, 25 or 26). In this case, the toilet 25 may be considered a water reservoir.

According to what is illustrated in figure 8, there is shown a leakage safety system of the association of the reservoirs (8, 17, 18 or 26) composed of vertical water exhaust pipe (43) with water inlet opening (45) with a height level (45) to be determined for each reservoir above which water is fed into an exhaust channel (44) and may be in series or parallel, directly or indirectly, with other water pipes from other reservoirs. Your final water discharge may be in toilets, drains or sinks.

[020] As shown in Figure 9, a key actuation control system is provided containing a tube (46) with a guide wire (47) which transmits traction to the system key actuation systems, similar system. to brake force transmission systems on bicycles. This type of remote actuation is useful for remote actuation because the reservoirs are usually one level higher than the user.

According to what is illustrated in figures 10 and 11, systems are shown whose state of the reservoir (18), when initiating the bypass actuation cycle, starts from a water empty state.

According to what is illustrated in figure 10, a flow switch (55) shown in the drawing is shown as the center of a rotating disc (52) which activates closing and opening switch of water flow to the inside of the water tank (18). It comprises a key (55) with a single point (53) physically driven by a float body (19) whose elevation moves by contact with the support (53) promoting closure of key (55) of water flow into the reservoir (18). ) when it exceeds a certain point of rotation of the fulcrum (53), but when the reservoir (18) empties, lowering the level valve (19) does not open the water inlet flow switch (18) by separation of fulcrum (53). If the level valve lowering (19) opened again the system the reservoir (18) would receive duct water (31) which would make it difficult to measure the volume to be diverted. To re-activate the chilled water diversion circuit of heated water pipes, the actuation keys (48 and 54) will be used, which will be further explained in the next paragraphs.

According to what is illustrated in Figure 11, a flow switch (56) shown in the drawing is shown as the center (56) of a rotating disc (52) which activates closing and opening switch. water flow into the bypass water reservoir water reservoir (18). It comprises a key (56) with a single-point shutter-operated fulcrum (57) which is physically operated by a shutter (33) whose elevation actuates, by contact with a support (57), a water inlet flow switch (56) closure (18) when it exceeds a certain point of rotation of the fulcrum (57), but lowering the shutter (33) does not open water inlet flow switch in the reservoir (18) by separation of fulcrum (57). If the lowering of the shutter (19) reopened the system, the reservoir (18) would receive duct water (31) which would make it difficult to measure the volume to be deflected. To re-activate the chilled water diversion circuit of heated water pipes, the actuation keys (48 and 54) will be used, which will be further explained in the next paragraphs.

[024] As shown in Figure 10 or 11, it is possible to visualize automatic system for opening shutters, or other flow switches by connecting physical structures between floats and shutters. In the drawing, flexible but not extensible wires (50) are illustrated for opening the shutter from a float height level (19 or 49). The wire (51) illustrates a safety system so that the float does not fall on the plug (33).

[025] As shown in Figure 10 or 11, the drive levers (54) are shown attached to the disc (52) having the bearing points (53 or 57) connected. The rods supporting the floats (19) and shutters (33) are not attached to these support points (53 or 57). In the models of these figures, the chilled water bypass activation cycle begins when the reservoir (18) is empty of water with the supports (53 and 57) being moved counterclockwise. This is the closed circuit state for water inlet through the inlet (31), the reservoir (18) being empty of water. By operating the lever (54) clockwise, either directly or via pull wires (48), the water inlet flow opens through the inlet switch (55 or 56) and the bearing points (53 and 57) follow the movement of rotation. Then the water diversion movement of heated water pipes occurs to the predetermined volume. When the reservoir fills the floats (19 or 49) rise and open the shutter (33) by moving the bearing points (53 or 57) to the counterclockwise position closing the water inlet (31, 55 and 56). When the water level is low again it returns to its initial state (closed water inlet, empty reservoir and closed water outlet).

[026] As shown in Fig. 12, 13 or 14, all or nothing water switching systems are shown, which facilitates sequentially opening and closing water inlet steps in the reservoir (18). and opening and closing of water at the reservoir outlet (8). Latches (28), magnetic or magnetizable materials (29) or wide-moving counterweights (30) such as shutter (33) may be used. The use of systems that automate wide movement, as described above, is useful for completely closing the closing and opening phases of a water switch, useful for sequencing the opening and closing steps of water inlets and outlets in the reservoir ( 18). Traditional float switching that uses continuously increasing pressure as the float rises requires constant float pressure increase to completely close the water opening and closing system (which takes time and is sometimes incomplete). ) which makes it difficult to link the opening and closing phases required by the bypass water volume controller system (18).

According to what is illustrated in figure 15, and in association with other figures, a shower is shown that receives cold water piping water (4) and hot water piping (5) and its final temperature is manually regulated by the by means of keys (13 and 14) that regulate the final mix in the central pipeline (58). Also shown is a shower outlet (59). For the user to realize the end result of their manual water temperature adjustment, the water mixture must travel a relatively long path (58 and 59). Until the end result reaches the user, too much water can be wasted and is not yet a guarantee that the result is satisfactory. This may require several repetitions of this adjustment cycle with considerable waste of water. The structure (18) represents a metering reservoir which can be any of the solutions described in the previous figures, constituting the reservoir (18) of the bypass water volume controller (18). The solution presented by this application is the introduction of a bypass (60) with duct (61) which diverts the water from the shower end to the metering reservoir (18) main object of the bypass water volume controller (18). ) which receives water from the inlet (31) and doses that water from the bypass. This reservoir (18) forwards the water to the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8). A bypass switch can simply open water passage from the final mixing duct (58) to the bypass duct (61). If this path 61 has less resistance to water passage than outlet 59, by some process of narrowing outlet type 59, water diversion is promoted. The bypass (60) may also have a key with locking of the passage of water through the outlet of the shower (59) during the actuation phase of the bypass, and opening for passage of water to the bypass (61).

[028] As shown in Figure 16, it shows a float level valve system (19). Illustrated float (19) on rotatable support (64 and 65) having non-fixed end points (63). The position of the upper contact points (63) allows the level valve (65) not to open immediately after loss of contact with the float (19) allowing complete emptying of the reservoir (8) without additional water entering the level valve. (65) at this stage. The lower contact point (63) allows opening of the level valve (19).

According to what is illustrated in figure 17, it shows a level valve system with rectilinear float (19). Rectilinear float (19) is shown in rectilinear sliding support (62) having flow opening and closing trigger (63) with end points (63). The position of the contact points (63) at the ends allows the level valve (19) not to open immediately after loss of contact with the floats (19) allowing complete emptying of the reservoir (8) without additional water entering the pressure valve. level (19) at this stage. The lower contact point (63) allows opening of the level valve (19). According to what is illustrated in figure 18, it shows a metering reservoir (18) of the bypass water volume controller (18) with shutters (33 and 42) with their water outlets (40). Shutters (33 and 42) with different and adjustable heights so that they can be adjusted and operated according to the volume required for each deviation. For example, the volume for shower water diversion is one, for tap is another, and for shower water mixers flow diversions is another. The outlet 40 may be common to various shutters 33 and 42. In this way, a single dosing reservoir can be used for various needs.

[031] The HEAT RECOVERY RESERVOIR, object of claim number 2 of patent letter BR 10 2014 008516-5 has not been illustrated in these figures, but it is a reservoir, which supplies central heater, and which captures still-heated water. Stagnates in heated water pipes. It has the function of recovering the thermal energy that would be lost by these water collections. The HEAT RECOVERY RESERVOIR also depends on volume dosing so that it receives water in the exact amount that corresponds to the still-heated water collection that is stagnant in the heated water pipes. For the purposes of this order, the operation of the bypass water volume controller (18) associated with the HEAT RECOVERY RESERVOIR is analogous to the operation of the bypass water volume controller (18) associated with the COOLED WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR ( 8). In the water circuits proposed by this request it is sufficient to replace the COLD WATER REINTRODUCTION RESERVOIR (8) with the HEAT RECOVERY RESERVOIR, and similarly, the HEAT RECOVERY RESERVOIR receives water from the outflow reservoir (18). water (22, 32 or 40).

[032] The bypass water volume controller (18) can be used in buildings that only use COLD WATER RESERVOIR (8) or only use THERMAL ENERGY RECOVERY RESERVOIR, and can also be used in buildings that are used the two types of reservoir.
