Definitions
- the present invention relates to an instantaneous heat exchanger for a boiler of a combined type, i.e., a boiler designed to produce both hot water for a plant for heating an environment and hot water for sanitary purposes.
- the invention likewise relates to a boiler of a combined type using such an instantaneous heat exchanger.
- the invention finds particular application in the case of boilers of a combined type that comprise:
- the main heat exchanger which is usually of the type using a gas burner, brings about heating of the primary fluid which, via the pump, is made to circulate in the heating plant in order to supply a plurality of radiators located in a domestic environment.
- a deviator device such as a three-way valve, enables circulation of the primary fluid only in the plant for heating the environment.
- the deviator device directs, in all or in part, the primary fluid into the aforesaid auxiliary branch of the primary circuit, and then towards the auxiliary heat exchanger.
- the auxiliary heat exchanger can carry out heating of the sanitary water by virtue of the fact that the heat of the fluid of the heating plant is transferred to said water.
- the deviator device returns to its original position, so that the primary fluid returns to circulate only in the heating plant.
- the means for deviating the primary fluid towards the auxiliary heat exchanger comprise, instead of a three-way valve, a second pump with respective valve.
- Boilers of a combined type should ideally be able to guarantee an immediate production of hot sanitary water, be constructionally simple and inexpensive, and above all have small overall dimensions.
- auxiliary heat exchangers of the plate type are used.
- Said heat exchangers are basically constituted by a plurality of metal plates, packed together so as to define a certain number of parallel cavities.
- the cavities are connected in alternating series so that, for example, the primary fluid circulates in the cavities of even number and the secondary fluid circulates in the cavities of odd number.
- one of the two fluids can thus exchange heat with the other, through both of the plates that delimit the cavity itself.
- the plate structure enables instantaneous heat exchangers to be obtained that are very compact and are provided with good characteristics of heat exchange.
- plate-type heat exchangers for combined boilers have in effect become standardized components produced on a large scale, with evident advantages in terms of reduction of costs.
- the plate-type heat exchangers currently used on compact combined boilers present some drawbacks.
- a first drawback is represented by the fact that plate-type heat exchangers are particularly subject to clogging, typically on account of precipitation of lime within them. Said drawback is particularly felt in the case of boilers installed in areas where the mains water is very hard.
- Another drawback is that the volume of water that can be stored within a plate-type heat exchanger of a compact boiler is very small, never greater than one litre for each circuit. Said reduced capacity of storage has two main negative consequences from the functional standpoint:
- boilers of a combined type having a storage tank in which a certain amount of water is maintained at a given temperature, ready for use.
- the storage tank has the function of maintaining a certain amount of water for heating at a given temperature, to be able to release it when required, in a fast way, to a secondary heat exchanger, so that this can produce the hot sanitary water quickly.
- the primary heat exchanger can overcome the thermal inertia and will then be able to exploit its maximum power in favour of the secondary heat exchanger.
- the temperature of the water in the tank is usually controlled via a suitable sensor.
- the control system of the boiler issues a command for a new heating thereof, via appropriate electrical means (such as a resistance), or else by starting the primary heat exchanger and possibly the circulation pump.
- the storage tank has, instead, the function of maintaining a certain amount of sanitary water at a given temperature, to be able to release it in a fast way following upon a requirement for use for washing purposes.
- the primary heat exchanger can in the meantime reach its own maximum power and thus enable a secondary heat exchanger to function at normal running conditions.
- the temperature of the sanitary water in the tank is controlled via a suitable sensor and, if required, heated via electrical means.
- boilers provided with storage tanks are more cumbersome, they are, however, preferred in areas with very hard mains water.
- combined boilers with a secondary plate-type heat exchanger continue to be very much in demand on account of their compactness and their contained cost, above all in areas where the level of hardness of the mains water is relatively low. Their functional limits in terms of times of response and constancy of supply are considered acceptable for a fair share of the market.
- boiler manufacturers are thus forced to diversify their production, this being at the expense of the standardization of production.
- the aim of the present invention is to solve the aforesaid problems. Said purpose is achieved, according to the invention, by a heat exchanger for a boiler of a combined type and by a boiler of a combined type having the characteristics indicated in the annexed claims, which form an integral part of the descriptive content of the present patent application.

- a screw 21 is tightened into the threaded hole of the projection 20 b , said screw 21 passing through the respective seat 20 provided in the body of the assembly 17 .
- the heat exchanger 30 according to the invention can be installed, in a simple and fast way, on the boiler 1 in place of the plate-type heat exchanger 10 . This can be done in the final stages of a cycle of production of the boiler 1 , or else even directly at the premises of the end user, for the purposes of replacement of the plate-type heat exchanger 10 , if the latter is clogged.
- FIG. 11 illustrates the heat exchanger 30 according to the invention in the installed condition. From said figure it may be appreciated how the heat exchanger 30 finds convenient housing in the rear part of the body 2 of the boiler 1 , within the latter. Moreover visible in said figure is the by-pass pipe previously mentioned, designated by 39 , which extends between the connections 4 a and 5 a of the primary circuit.
- FIG. 6 further shows a central pipe union, which projects at the bottom from the supporting plate P. Said pipe union, designated by G, is provided for the connection of the boiler to a gas mains supply, necessary for operation of the burner of the main heat exchanger 3 .
- Operation of the heat exchanger 30 is substantially similar to that of a traditional plate-type heat exchanger 10 as regards the step of heating of the water for sanitary purposes and as regards maintenance of the latter at the desired temperature, via the deviator valve 23 , the flow switch 24 , and the sensor means for sensing the temperature of the boiler 1 .
- the heat exchanger 30 is conceived for obtaining a forced circulation, or a circulation in any case in a predefined direction, of the heating fluid within the chamber 32 .
- the heat exchanger is pre-arranged so that the flow of the sanitary water present in the coiled tubing 33 will come about in countercurrent, i.e., in a direction opposite to the flow of the heating fluid. Said advantageous embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 12-15 .
- positioned in the chamber 32 are, in addition to the coiled tubing 33 , a flow divisor 40 , un upper flow deviator 41 and a lower flow deviator 42 .
- the divisor 40 is substantially configured as a wall or partition having the function of enabling circulation of the fluid in just one direction within the chamber 32 , from the respective inlet 8 b to the respective outlet 9 b .
- the flow deviators 41 , 42 have here a basically hollow cylindrical shape, each having a closed end that opposes the direction of the flow of the fluid within the chamber 32 . As may be seen in FIG. 14 or FIG. 15 , the deviators 41 , 42 are each positioned in a respective substantially rectilinear stretch of the coil formed by the tubing 33 .
- the reference number 43 designates a device for bleeding the chamber 32 , said device being of a conception in itself known.
- the fluid coming from the primary circuit penetrates into the chamber 32 through the opening 8 b .
- the fluid is forced to traverse the chamber 32 in a unidirectional way, in the direction designated by the arrow F 1 in FIG. 14 .
- the fluid encounters the upper flow deviator 41 , and in particular its closed end, designated by 41 a in FIG. 15 .
- the fluid is forced to flow necessarily between the coils of the tubing 33 that wind around the body of the deviator itself. In this way, heat exchange is increased in the upper part of the heat exchanger 30 .
- part of the fluid can then fill the deviator 41 , entering from the open end of the latter, designated by 41 b .
- Another part of the fluid proceeds, instead, along the annular development of the chamber 32 , until it encounters the lower flow deviator 42 .
- the fluid encounters first the closed end of the deviator 42 , designated by 42 a in FIG. 15 .
- the fluid is then forced between the coils of the tubing 33 that wind around the body of the deviator 42 . In this way, heat exchange is increased in the lower part of the heat exchanger 30 .
- the fluid In the rest of its path, the fluid then reaches the divisor 40 , which, on the one hand, prevents the fluid itself from re-circulating in the heat exchanger and, on the other, causes the fluid to fill the deviator 42 , entering from the open end 42 b of the latter (see FIG. 15 ).
- the divisor 40 prevents the fluid itself from re-circulating in the heat exchanger and, on the other, causes the fluid to fill the deviator 42 , entering from the open end 42 b of the latter (see FIG. 15 ).
- the closed end 42 a of the deviator 42 there branches off a stretch of tube, designated by 44 , which connects the inside of the deviator itself with the opening 9 b of the heat exchanger 30 . In this way, the heating fluid can then come out of the chamber 32 and return into the primary circuit.
- the coiled tubing 33 is configured so that the flow of the sanitary water inside it flows in a direction opposite to that of the heating fluid, as indicated by the arrow F 2 of FIG. 14 .
- the sanitary water penetrates into the tubing 33 from the inlet 12 b .
- a first stretch of the tubing 33 designated by 33 c , extends within the hollow body of the lower deviator 42 , then traversing the cylindrical wall thereof. The tubing then proceeds following its coiled pattern along the development of the chamber 32 , to terminate in a position corresponding to the hole 11 b , as may be seen particularly in FIG. 14 .
- a first advantage is represented by the fact that the heat exchanger 30 according to the invention, even though it is in any case an instantaneous heat exchanger, enables accumulation within it of a substantial mass of water in the respective portions of circuit, which can be maintained at the desired temperature, waiting to be drawn off.
- the heat exchanger 30 guarantees a substantial storage of sanitary water within the tubing 33 as compared to the usual plate-type heat exchangers for compact boilers, and in any case greater than one litre, preferably greater than two litres.
- the amount of sanitary water that can be stored in the heat exchanger 30 is approximately 4-5 litres, i.e., equal to at least four times the quantity that can be stored within a plate-type heat exchanger of the maximum capacity currently used for combined compact boilers.
- the heat exchanger 30 enables an adequate convenience of supply to be achieved, with fast delivery of a considerable mass of hot sanitary water, in short times and in a constant way, even in the presence of changes of flow rate, but without the need to equip the boiler with a specific storage tank.
- the properties of heat exchange moreover remain unvaried, notwithstanding the difference of the volume of water contained.
- heat exchanger 30 is less subject to clogging, since the mains water for sanitary purposes passes through a single tube (i.e., the spiral tubing 33 ), and not through a series of cavities of small cross section in series, as occurs, instead, in the plate-type heat exchanger.
- the boiler can be equipped with the heat exchanger 30 .
- the boiler 1 can in any case be installed with the traditional plate-type heat exchanger 10 .
- the invention enables important advantages to be obtained also for boiler manufacturers, for which the need to diversify production is reduced. In fact, it is possible to obtain two different types of products starting from one and the same basic structure of the boiler 1 . Only in the advanced stage of production, the latter may be diversified, by installing the plate-type heat exchanger 10 to meet said type of requirement, or else the heat exchanger 30 according to the invention, thus preventing the need to equip the boiler with additional storage tanks.
- FIG. 16 Illustrated in FIG. 16 is a further possible variant of the invention, according to which there are provided adapter elements, designated as a whole by 50 .
- adapter elements designated as a whole by 50 .
- the distance between centres of the holes 8 a 11 a and 9 a , 12 a of the plate-type heat exchangers used in compact combined boilers is standardized in some standard measurements (see what was described previously with reference to the distances designated by A and B in FIG. 2 ).
- the adapters 50 there can thus be provided the adapters 50 to enable installation of a single version of heat exchanger 30 on combined boilers having different standardized attachments.
- each adapter 50 comprises a substantially L-shaped body, for example made of metal material, so as to define two surfaces 50 a and 50 b opposite and parallel to one another, the first designed to co-operate with the connections 8 , 11 or 9 , 12 of the boiler 1 , and the second designed to co-operate with the holes 8 b , 11 b or 9 b , 12 b of the heat exchanger 30 .
- the body of each adapter 50 is provided with two respective internal passages.
- the ends of said passages form holes (not visible in the figure), designed to co-operate with the connections 8 , 11 or 9 , 12 of the boiler 1 .
- the ends of the same passages form, instead, holes 8 c , 11 c or 9 c , 12 c , designed to co-operate with the holes 8 b , 11 b or 9 b , 12 b of the heat exchanger 30 .
- each adapter there are moreover provided mechanical fixing seats; for example, a first threaded through seat 51 can be provided, designed to receive the end of a respective screw 21 for fixing of the adapter 50 to a respective assembly 17 , 18 .
- the body of the adapter can then comprise a second seat 52 with open end, designed to receive a respective projection 20 b of the heat exchanger 30 for fixing via a respective screw (i.e., with modalities similar to the ones described previously with reference to the seats 20 , the screws 21 , and the projections 20 b ).
- a respective screw i.e., with modalities similar to the ones described previously with reference to the seats 20 , the screws 21 , and the projections 20 b .
- the seal between the adapters 50 and the attachments of the boiler will be obtained via the O-rings 19 described previously.
- the seal between the adapters 50 and the heat exchanger 30 will be obtained via similar O-rings, operatively set between the surface 50 b of the adapter and a respective surface 34 a , 35 b of the heat exchanger.
- the holes 8 c , 11 c and/or 9 c , 12 c may be provided with a peripheral seat for partial housing of said O-rings.
- Each internal passage of an adapter 50 can be obtained by making, in the body of the adapter itself, three blind holes, two parallel to one another and one orthogonal to these, which intersects them. For said reason, the end of the aforesaid orthogonal hole, designated by 53 in FIG. 9 must be occluded in a sealed way, for example using appropriate plugs, two of which are designated by 54 in the Figure.
- the adapter elements 50 there can be provided some versions of half-shell 31 b , differentiated with respect to one another by the position of the projecting portions 34 , 35 with respect to one another and/or by the position of the holes 8 b , 9 b , 11 b , 12 b and of the projections 20 b within said portions.
- the instantaneous heat exchanger according to the invention may also have a shape different from the substantially toroidal one illustrated previously; for example, it may as a whole be cylindrical, at the same time maintaining its capacity for storing a substantial mass of water unaltered and maintaining the prearrangement for installation in the place of an ordinary plate-type heat exchanger.
- the body of the heat exchanger will be provided with the projecting portions, similar to the ones previously designated by 34 , 35 , and a single chamber in which a tubing or pipe in the form of a coil extends. It may be noted that a single projecting portion could also be provided, equipped with the inlets and outlets 8 b , 9 b , 11 b , 12 b in the appropriate positions.
- the heat exchanger could be designed for storing, within the coil-shaped channel 33 , the heating fluid of the primary circuit, and, in the chamber 32 , the water for washing purposes, and thus with an arrangement of connection that is reversed with respect to the one previously described by way of example.
- the holes 8 b , 9 b and 11 b , 12 b of the heat exchanger 30 could be shaped so as to present an annular peripheral seat for housing a portion of the respective O-ring 19 .
