Definitions
- the invention relates to water supply systems for buildings and structures.
- Water supply systems are known, where the water intake line is connected to an external municipal, city, local, etc. water supply system. Also known from the prior art are water supply systems with two sources, where the water intake line is connected to an external water supply and at the same time to an alternative source of water, for example, tanks with accumulated rainwater. Such a water supply system can be used for both cold and bitter water.
- the prior art hot water system according to patent JP6036016B2 (priority 30.08.2012), selected by the applicant as the closest analogue.
- the system consists of a water intake line for consumption, which, through a control valve, is connected to an external water supply and to an alternative source, made in the form of a storage tank, equipped with a solar-powered heater and a temperature sensor functionally connected to the control valve. Water is withdrawn to the water intake line at a single point in time from only one source - from a water supply system or from a container.
- the control valve has two operating positions: the first - water intake from the water supply, while the water intake from the tank is blocked; the second - water is taken from the tank, water is taken from the water supply system is blocked.
- the system works as follows.
- the container is filled with cold water, after which, under the influence of solar energy, the water is gradually heated with temperature control using a sensor. If the water temperature in the tank detected by the sensor is higher than the specified level, then the control valve is moved to the second position and water from the tank flows to the water intake line. If the temperature of the water in the tank detected by the sensor is below the specified level, then the control valve is moved to the first position, and water is supplied to the water intake line from the water supply.
- the main disadvantage of the closest analogue is the complexity of the design of the control valve, which reduces the accuracy of the system, since the valve waits for the sensor signal to operate, that is, there is always a response time when changing the source.
- the objective of the invention and the technical result achieved through it is the development of a new water supply system with multiple sources, with an increase in the efficiency of using an alternative source, while increasing the reliability of switching between sources.
- the water supply system consists of a water intake line connected to at least two water sources - an external water supply and an alternative source made in the form of a storage tank and a water supply line, made with the possibility of predominantly supplying water from alternative source, due to the presence of a tank on the water supply line from an alternative source that provides a pressure higher than the pressure of the water supply system, while the system may additionally contain a reducer installed at the point of connection of the external water supply to the water intake line, a water purification unit or a line for washing the alternative source with external water plumbing.
- the figure 1 shows an example of the simplest scheme of a water supply system with two sources.
- the water supply system includes a water intake line 4, which is connected to at least two water sources: an external water supply 1 and an alternative source 3.
- An alternative source 3 includes a container 5, a supply line 2 with a pump 6 and a tank 7 installed on it.
- Tank 7 is made in the form, for example, but not limited to the listed options of a water-air tank, a pressure tank or a tank with a pressure injection device.
- the water supply system works as follows.
- the water supply of a building or structure and the supply of water for consumption is carried out through the water intake line 4, which is connected to at least two water sources.
- the external water supply 1 is a constant source of water
- the alternative source 3 can be filled with water, or it can be empty.
- Efficient use of alternative source 3 means that in the case where there is water in alternative source 3, the water supply to the water intake line 4 comes from alternative source 3.
- the presence of water in alternative source 3 means that the container 5 is filled with water, for example, accumulated rain or melted snow water, or any other water. From tank 5, water enters tank 7 with the help of pump 6.
- the water supply system functions as a flow switching control valve.
- the system may contain two or more alternative water sources of similar design.
- the input water line 4 is connected to three sources: an external water supply 1, an alternative source 3 and an additional alternative source (not shown in the figures).
- the alternative source with a high water level in the tank 5 has the highest pressure. Water is supplied to the liquid intake line 4 from an alternative source with a high water level, if water is not available in both alternative sources, water is supplied to the liquid intake line 4 comes from external water supply 1.
- the water supply system may contain a water treatment facility (not shown in the figure), which is installed on the water supply line 2 from an alternative source after the pump 6 in front of the tank 7.
- the water treatment facility can be made in the form, for example, but not limited to the listed options, reverse osmosis systems, membrane water purification systems and hollow fiber modules, mechanical prefiltration systems, sorption filters, combined water purification systems, etc. If the water supply system in the alternative source unit 3 contains a water purification agent, then the water from the tank 5 first enters the pump 6, then passes through the water purification system and enters the tank 7 and then to the purified liquid intake line 4.
- the water supply system may include a pressure reducer (not shown in the figure), which is installed at the point of connection of the water intake line 4 to the external water supply 1.
- the pressure reducer reduces the pressure of the water coming from the external water supply 1, thus, the water pressure in the tank 7 can be proportionally reduced, but at the same time remain above the water pressure of the external water supply 1. Reducing the water pressure in the water supply system increases the safety of the system and reliability.
- the system may contain a flushing line (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the external water supply 1 at the inlet, and to the alternative source tank 5 at the outlet 3.
- Alternative source water for example, rain or melt) contains impurities that can cause water supply systems.
- the water in the alternative source 3 may not be available for a long time, which leads to the drying of the system nodes.
- the container 5 of the alternative source 3 is periodically filled with water from the external water supply 1, which flows through the flushing line. If the container 5 is filled with water, then the system operates within the distinctive features. As soon as water appears in the container 5 of the alternative source 3, the supply pump 6 pumps it into the tank 7. The water heats up in the tank 7 and, if the water level is above the minimum, the water is taken from the water intake line 4. At the same time, since the water passes through all the nodes of the system, the drying of the nodes of the alternative source 3 is prevented. Thus, the reliability of the system is further improved.
