Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen gasbefeuerten Wasser- oder Lufterhitzer mit einer sowohl die Gaszufuhr zum Brenner als auch die Verbrennungsluftzufuhr steuernden Regeleinrichtung. Zur optimalen Ausnutzung des dem Brenner zugeführten Brennstoffs muß nicht nur die Brennstoffzufuhr in Abhängigkeit vom Wärmebedarf, sondern zwecks Erzielung einer vollständigen Verbrennung auch die Verbrennungsluftzufuhr der jeweiligen Brennstoffmenge angepaßt werden. Aus GB-PS 12 35 891 ist eine Regeleinrichtung bekannt, bei der die Gaszufuhr zum Brenner durch ein von einem Temperaturfühler gesteuertes Gasregelventil geregelt wird. An die Ausgangsleitung des Regelventils ist ein federbelasteter Membranantrieb angeschlossen, der eine Luftklappe im Verbrennungsluftzufuhrkanal steuert. Während hier der dem Brenner zugeführte Gasdruck als Führungsgröße für die zuzuführende Luftmenge dient, ist aus DE-OS 15 29 154 eine Vorrichtung zur Steuerung der Zufuhr von Gas und Luft zu einem Infrarotbrenner bekannt, bei der in Abhängigkeit vom Wärmebedarf die Luftmenge geregelt und der Druck in der Luftzufuhrleitung als Führungsgröße für ein Stellglied in der Gaszufuhrleitung verwendet wird. Schließlich wird in der älteren DE-OS 30 10 737 mit Zusatz DE-OS 30 44 678 die Verwendung eines gemeinsamen von einem Temperaturfühler gesteuerten Servodruckreglers vorgeschlagen, dessen Ausgangssignal gleichzeitig sowohl dem Antrieb des Gasregelventils als auch dem Antrieb des Luftmengenstellgliedes zugeführt ist.The invention relates to a gas-fired water or air heater with a control device that controls both the gas supply to the burner and the combustion air supply. For optimal use of the fuel supplied to the burner, not only the fuel supply as a function of the heat requirement, but also the combustion air supply of the respective fuel quantity must be adapted in order to achieve complete combustion. From GB-PS 12 35 891 a control device is known in which the gas supply to the burner is controlled by a gas control valve controlled by a temperature sensor. A spring-loaded diaphragm actuator, which controls an air flap in the combustion air supply duct, is connected to the output line of the control valve. While the gas pressure supplied to the burner serves as a guide variable for the amount of air to be supplied, a device for controlling the supply of gas and air to an infrared burner is known from DE-OS 15 29 154, in which the amount of air is regulated and the pressure as a function of the heat requirement is used in the air supply line as a reference variable for an actuator in the gas supply line. Finally, in the older DE-OS 30 10 737 with the addition DE-OS 30 44 678, the use of a common servo pressure regulator controlled by a temperature sensor is proposed, the output signal of which simultaneously drives both the gas control valve and the Drive of the air quantity actuator is supplied.

Neben einer solchen brennerseitigen Optimierung des Energieverbrauchs kann der Brennstoffbedarf dadurch weiter herabgesetzt werden, daß die Abgase den Wasser-oder Lufterhitzer mit möglichst niedriger Temperatur verlassen und somit möglichst wenig Wärme mitführen. Zu diesem Zweck hat man zweistufige Erhitzer entwickelt, in denen dem ersten vom Brenner unmittelbar aufgeheizten Wärmetauscher ein zweiter, sogenannter Kondensationswärmetauscher nachgeschaltet ist, bei dem die heißen Abgase ihre Kondensationswärme an das zu erwärmende Medium abgeben. Bei solchen und anderen Erhitzern mit niedriger Abgastemperatur ergeben sich jedoch im Betrieb Schwierigkeiten, weil der Zug im Rauchgasabzug zu gering wird. Dieser Zug ist bei atmosphärischen Brennern im wesentlichen bestimmt durch die Temperaturdifferenz zwischen Rauchgas und Umgebungsluft. Sinkt diese Temperaturdifferenz, so vermindert sich der Zug und der Brenner arbeitet aus diesem Grunde nicht ordnungsgemäß und damit auch nicht energiesparend. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, hier mit einfachen Mitteln Abhilfe zu schaffen, um einerseits den eingangs erwähnten brennerseitigen Optimierungsmaßnahmen und andererseits der ebenfalls der besseren Brennstoffausnutzung dienenden Absenkung der Rauchgastemperatur zu voller Wirksamkeit zu verhelfen. Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Erfindung. Sie hat den Vorteil, daß der künstliche Zug im Rauchgasabzug ohne jegliche beweglichen Teile erzielt wird. Für den genannten Zweck könnte man an sich im Rauchgasabzug ein Hilfsgebläse anordnen. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß infolge des Schwefelgehalts und anderer aggressiver Bestandteile des Rauchgases ein solches Gebläse in kurzer Zeit korrodiert und nicht mehr einwandfrei funktionsfähig ist. Aber selbst, wenn noch keine Kondensationsprobleme auftreten, weil die Abgastemperatur noch hinreichend hoch ist, so wird es vielfach bereits an einem ausreichenden Zug im Schornstein fehlen. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der EErfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. Sie wird naachfolgend anhand zweier Ausführungsbeispiele beschriebern, in denen der grundsätzliche Aufbau des gezeigten Wassererrhitzers und der zugehörigen Regeleinrichtung mit den Ausführungsbeispielen nach der erwähnten DE-OS 30 44 678 weitgehend übereinstimmt. Es zeigt

  • Fig. 1 einen Wassererhitzer mit zugehöriger Regeleinriichtung, bei der ein gemeinsamer Servodruckregler auf daas Gasregelventil aufgesetzt ist, während in
  • Fig. 2 der gemeinsame Servodruckregler auf dem als Luiftmengenstellglied dienenden Luftregelventil angeordneit ist, und in
  • Fig. 3 die den Zug verbessernde Zusatzluftmenge in Abhhängigkeit von der Rauchgastemperatur geregelt wird.
In addition to such an optimization of the energy consumption on the burner side, the fuel requirement can be further reduced by the exhaust gases leaving the water or air heater at the lowest possible temperature and thus carrying as little heat as possible. For this purpose, two-stage heaters have been developed in which a second, so-called condensation heat exchanger is connected downstream of the first heat exchanger directly heated by the burner, in which the hot exhaust gases give off their condensation heat to the medium to be heated. With such and other heaters with a low exhaust gas temperature, however, difficulties arise during operation because the draft in the flue gas outlet becomes too low. With atmospheric burners, this draft is essentially determined by the temperature difference between flue gas and ambient air. If this temperature difference drops, the draft is reduced and the burner does not work properly for this reason and therefore does not save energy. The object of the invention is to remedy this with simple means, on the one hand to help the burner-side optimization measures mentioned at the beginning and, on the other hand, to reduce the flue gas temperature, which also serves to improve fuel efficiency, to full effectiveness. This object is achieved by the invention characterized in claim 1. It has the advantage that the artificial draft in the flue gas outlet is achieved without any moving parts. For the purpose mentioned, an auxiliary fan could be arranged in the flue gas outlet. However, it has been shown that due to the sulfur content and other aggressive constituents of the flue gas, such a fan corrodes in a short time and is no longer able to function properly. But even if there are still no condensation problems because the exhaust gas temperature is still high enough, there is often enough draft in the Chimney is missing. Advantageous refinements of the invention result from the subclaims. It is described below using two exemplary embodiments, in which the basic structure of the water heater shown and the associated control device largely corresponds to the exemplary embodiments according to DE-OS 30 44 678 mentioned. It shows
  • Fig. 1 shows a water heater with associated control device, in which a common servo pressure regulator is placed on the gas control valve, while in
  • Fig. 2, the common servo pressure regulator is arranged on the air control valve serving as the air flow control element, and in
  • Fig. 3, the amount of additional air improving the train is controlled depending on the flue gas temperature.

Bei allen Ausführungsformen ist der Schließkörper 1 odes Hauptgasventils durch eine Schließfeder 2 in Schließrzichtung federbelastet und wird durch einen Membranantriebb vom Sitz abgehoben, sobald die vom Steuerdruck in der Kamnmer 3 auf die Membran ausgeübte Kraft, die vom Ausgangsdruchk im Auslaß 5 auf die Gegenseite der Membran 4 einwirkende Kraft zuzüglich der Kraft der Feder 2 übersteigt. In Fig. 1 erhält die Antriebskammer 3 ihren Steuerdruck über einern Kanal 6 sowie ein Einschaltmagnetventil von der Ausgarngskammer eines Servodruckreglers 7, der von einem Temperraturfühler 8 gesteuert wird. Aufbau und Wirkungsweise solccher Servodruckregler sind beispielsweise in der DE-PS 26 466 310 bzw. den DE-OS 29 03 201 und 29 03 203 ausführlich beschrieben. Zwischen den Einlaß 9 des Gasregelgeräts und das Hauptgasventil 1 ist ein nicht dargestelltes Sicherheitsventil eingeschaltet, welches mittels einer Drucktaste 10 geöffnet werden kann und von einer thermoelektriscthen Zündsicherungseinrichtung 11 offengehalten wird, solarnge das dem Zündbrenner 12 zugeordnete Thermoelement 13 vcon der Zündflamme erwärmt wird. Der Auslaß 5 des Gasregellventils steht über einen Kanal 14 mit dem Servodruckregler 7 in Verbindung. Nimmt der Ausgangsdruck im Auslaß 5 ab, so erzeugt der Servodruckregler 7 einen erhöhten Steuerdruck in der Leitung 6 und in der Antriebskammer 3, so daß das Hauptgasventil 1 weiter geöffnet wird und der Ausgangsdruck wieder ansteigt. Der Durchlaß des Hauptgasventils 1 wird auch dann vergrößert, wenn die vom Temperaturfühler 8 gemessene Temperatur, beispielsweise die Wassertemperatur am Ausgang 15 des Wärmetauschers 16 ihren Sollwert unterschreitet.In all embodiments, the closing body 1 or the main gas valve is spring-loaded in the closing direction by a closing spring 2 and is lifted off the seat by a diaphragm drive as soon as the force exerted by the control pressure in the chamber 3 on the diaphragm, that of the outlet pressure in outlet 5 on the opposite side of the diaphragm 4 force acting plus the force of the spring 2 exceeds. In Fig. 1, the drive chamber 3 receives its control pressure via a channel 6 and a switch-on solenoid valve from the suspension chamber of a servo pressure regulator 7, which is controlled by a temperature sensor 8. The structure and mode of operation of such servo pressure regulators are described in detail, for example, in DE-PS 26 466 310 and DE-OS 29 03 201 and 29 03 203. Between the inlet 9 of the gas control device and the main gas valve 1, a safety valve, not shown, is switched on, which can be opened by means of a pushbutton 10 and is kept open by a thermoelectrical ignition protection device 11, as long as the thermocouple 13 associated with the pilot burner 12 is heated by the pilot flame. The outlet 5 of the gas control valve is connected via a channel 14 to the servo pressure regulator 7. If the outlet pressure in the outlet 5 decreases, the servo pressure regulator 7 generates an increased control pressure in the line 6 and in the drive chamber 3, so that the main gas valve 1 is opened further and the outlet pressure rises again. The passage of the main gas valve 1 is also increased when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 8, for example the water temperature at the outlet 15 of the heat exchanger 16, falls below its setpoint.

über eine Leitung 20 ist der Servodruckregler 7 zugleich an die Antriebskammer 21 eines servodruckgesteuerten Luftregelventils angeschlossen, dessen Schließkörper 22 wiederum durch eine Feder 23 in Schließrichtung vorgespannt ist und von einer Membran 24 betätigt wird. Der Einlaß 25 des Luftregelventils ist an einen Drucklufterzeuger in Form eines Gebläses 26 angeschlossen, während im Auslaß 27 der Fühler 28 eines Strömungsschalters 29 angeordnet ist. Sein durch den Luftstrom schließender Arbeitskontakt liegt im Erregerstromkreis des Einschaltmagnetventils im Servodruckregler 7. Dieser steuert also gleichzeitig die das Gasregelventil 1 durchströmende Gasmenge sowie die das Luftregelventil 22 verlassende Luftmenge.Via a line 20, the servo pressure regulator 7 is also connected to the drive chamber 21 of a servo pressure-controlled air control valve, the closing body 22 of which is in turn biased in the closing direction by a spring 23 and is actuated by a membrane 24. The inlet 25 of the air control valve is connected to a compressed air generator in the form of a fan 26, while the sensor 28 of a flow switch 29 is arranged in the outlet 27. Its make contact, which closes due to the air flow, lies in the excitation circuit of the switch-on solenoid valve in the servo pressure regulator 7. This therefore simultaneously controls the gas quantity flowing through the gas control valve 1 and the air quantity leaving the air control valve 22.

In dem als Verbraucher dargestellten Wassererhitzer sind der Wärmetauscher 16 und der Hauptbrenner 30 von einem geschlossenen Gehäuse 31 umgeben. Die Verbrennungsgase verlassen das Gehäuse 31 durch einen Abzug 32. Dem Einlaß 33 des Hauptbrenners 30 steht eine Injektordüse 34 gegenüber, über die vom Auslaß 5 des Gasregelventils Gas in den Hauptbrenner strömt. Auf Grund der Strahlwirkung der Düse 34 saugt der Gasstrom zugleich Primärluft an, welche dem Hauptbrenner 30 als Verbrennungsluft zugeführt wird. Ferner weist das Gehäuse 31 einen Einlaß 35 für Sekundärluft auf, dem eine weitere Injektordüse 36 gegenübersteht. Sie wird vom Luftregelventil 22 her mit Druckluft gespeist und saugt ebenfalls auf Grund ihrer Strahlwirkung zusätzliche Verbrennungsluft an und drückt sie in das Innere des Gehäuses 31. Dort steht sie dem Hauptbrenner 30 zur Erzielung einer möglichst vollständigen Verbrennung zur Verfügung. Ansonsten ist das Gehäuse 31 geschlossen. Mit Hilfe einer Drossel 37 kann die der Luftdüse 36 zugeführte Luftmenge zwecks Erzielung eines optimalen Gas/Luftgemischs eingestellt werden.In the water heater shown as a consumer, the heat exchanger 16 and the main burner 30 are surrounded by a closed housing 31. The combustion gases leave the housing 31 through an exhaust 32. The inlet 33 of the main burner 30 is opposed by an injector nozzle 34, via which gas flows into the main burner from the outlet 5 of the gas control valve. Due to the jet effect of the nozzle 34, the gas stream simultaneously sucks in primary air, which is fed to the main burner 30 as combustion air. Furthermore, the housing 31 has an inlet 35 for secondary air, which is opposed by a further injector nozzle 36. It is from Air control valve 22 is supplied with compressed air and, due to its jet effect, also draws in additional combustion air and presses it into the interior of the housing 31. There it is available to the main burner 30 to achieve the most complete possible combustion. Otherwise, the housing 31 is closed. With the help of a throttle 37, the amount of air supplied to the air nozzle 36 can be adjusted in order to achieve an optimal gas / air mixture.

Zur Verbesserung des Zuges im Rauchgasabzug 32 ist in dem stromabwärts von einer Zugunterbrechung 40 liegenden oberen Teil 41 des Rauchgasabzuges 32, 41 eine Luftaustrittsdüse 42 angeordnet, welche über eine Druckluftzuleitung 43 an die Druckluftquelle, bestehend aus Gebläse 26 und Luftregelventil 22 angeschlossen ist. Im dargestellten Beispiel erfolgt der Anschluß an den Ausgang 27 des Luftregelventils. Auf diese Weise wird die den künstlichen Zug erzeugende Luftströmung aus der Düse 42 ständig der dem Brenner zugeführten Luftmenge angepaßt. Bei hohen Schornsteinen kann es jedoch erforderlich sein, die Düse mit einem höheren Luftdruck zu speisen. In diesem Falle empfiehlt es sich, die Luftzuleitung 43 nicht an den Ausgang 27, sondern an den Eingang 25 des Luftregelventils anzuschließen, wie dies in Form der Leitung 44 gestrichelt dargestellt ist. ; To improve the draft in the flue gas outlet 32, an air outlet nozzle 42 is arranged in the upper part 41 of the flue gas outlet 32, 41 downstream of a train interruption 40, which is connected via a compressed air supply line 43 to the compressed air source consisting of blower 26 and air control valve 22. In the example shown, the connection to the outlet 27 of the air control valve is made. In this way, the air flow producing the artificial draft from the nozzle 42 is continuously adapted to the amount of air supplied to the burner. With high chimneys, however, it may be necessary to feed the nozzle with a higher air pressure. In this case, it is advisable not to connect the air supply line 43 to the outlet 27 but to the inlet 25 of the air control valve, as shown in dashed lines in the form of the line 44. ;

Mit dem erhöhten Zug im Rauchgasabzug 41 wird über die Zugunterbrechung 40 zugleich Außenluft angesaugt. Die hierdurch erhöhte Luftmenge verringert zwar die Gefahr, daß das Rauchgas mit Wasserdampf-gesättigt ist. Bei niedrigen Außentemperaturen führt die über die Zugunterbrechung 40 zugeführte Außenluft jedoch zugleich zu einer Absenkung der Temperatur des Rauchgas/Luftgemischs im Schornstein 41, wodurch die Gefahr der Kondensation erhöht wird. Dieser Gefahr kann man durch eine Erwärmung der der Düse 42 zugeführten Zusatzluftmenge begegnen. In Fig. 1 ist deshalb gestrichelt eine Ausführungsform eingezeichnet, bei der die Anschlußleitung 43' zumindest teilweise innerhalb des Gehäuses 31 des Wassererhitzers verläuft. Unter Umständen genügt es auch, die Leitung 43' an der Außenwand der Erhitzers anliegend zu befestigen. Eine Drossel 45 gestattet die Einstellung des der Luftaustrittsdüse 42 zugeführten Luftstroms an die jeweiligen Verhältnisse des Rauchgasabzugs bzw. Schornsteins.With the increased draft in the flue gas extractor 41, outside air is simultaneously sucked in via the draft stop 40. The resulting increased air volume reduces the risk that the flue gas is saturated with water vapor. At low outside temperatures, however, the outside air supplied via the draft stop 40 also leads to a lowering of the temperature of the flue gas / air mixture in the chimney 41, which increases the risk of condensation. This danger can be countered by heating the amount of additional air supplied to the nozzle 42. In Fig. 1, therefore, an embodiment is shown in dashed lines in which the connecting line 43 'runs at least partially within the housing 31 of the water heater. In some circumstances, it is also sufficient to fasten the line 43 'against the outer wall of the heater. A throttle 45 allows the air flow supplied to the air outlet nozzle 42 to be adjusted to the respective conditions of the flue gas outlet or chimney.

Die Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von derjenigen nach Fig. 1 im wesentlichen dadurch, daß der Servodruckregler 7 nicht auf das Gehäuse des Hauptgasventils, sondern auf das des Luftregelventils aufgesetzt ist. Hinsichtlich der Erzeugung des künstlichen Zuges im Rauchgasabzug 32,41 arbeitet diese Ausführungsform in der gleichen Weise wie zuvor beschrieben. Vorteilhaft ist, daß der Servodruckregler nicht mit Gas, sondern mit Luft arbeitet und folglich bei etwaigen Undichtheiten kein Gas entweichen kann. Er kann folglich aus weniger anspruchsvollen Materialien, beispielsweise Kunststoff hergestellt werden. Infolge der Verwendung der beiden Injektordüsen 34 und 36 braucht das Gebläse 26 nur eine verhältnismäßig geringe Luftmenge zu liefern, wobei die Verwendung eines servogesteuerten Luftregelventils zugleich etwaige Schwankungen des vom Gebläse gelieferten Versorgungsdruckes ausregelt.The embodiment of FIG. 2 differs from that of FIG. 1 essentially in that the servo pressure regulator 7 is not placed on the housing of the main gas valve, but on that of the air control valve. With regard to the generation of the artificial draft in the flue gas exhaust 32, 41, this embodiment operates in the same way as described above. It is advantageous that the servo pressure regulator does not work with gas but with air and consequently no gas can escape in the event of any leaks. It can therefore be made from less demanding materials such as plastic. As a result of the use of the two injector nozzles 34 and 36, the blower 26 only has to deliver a relatively small amount of air, the use of a servo-controlled air control valve simultaneously regulating any fluctuations in the supply pressure supplied by the blower.

Das hinsichtlich der gleichzeitigen Regelung von Gas- und Verbrennungsluftzufuhr mit der'Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 übereinstimmende Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3 zeigt eine abweichende Regelung der den künstlichen Zug erzeugenden Luftmenge, welche der Luftaustrittsdüse 42 zugeführt wird. Die Anschlußleitung 43 steht unmittelbar mit dem Gebläse 26 in Verbindung. Zwischen dem Gebläse als Luftquelle und der Luftaustrittsdüse 42 im Rauchgasabzug 41 ist ein Drosselventil 47 vorgesehen, dessen Antrieb 48 von einem Temperaturfühler 49 bzw. 49' gesteuert wird. Dieser mißt die Abgastemperatur im Rauchgasabzug 41. Je niedriger diese Temperatur ist, umso weiter wird das Drosselventil 47 geöffnet und damit die der Zugverbesserung dienende Zusatzluftmenge erhöht. Der Antrieb kann wie dargestellt über einen Ausdehnungstemperaturfühler 49 und eine Membrankapsel 48 oder durch ein Bimetall oder auf andere Weise erfolgen.The embodiment according to FIG. 3, which corresponds to the simultaneous regulation of gas and combustion air supply with the embodiment according to FIG. 2, shows a different regulation of the amount of air producing the artificial draft, which is supplied to the air outlet nozzle 42. The connecting line 43 is directly connected to the blower 26. A throttle valve 47 is provided between the blower as the air source and the air outlet nozzle 42 in the flue gas discharge 41, the drive 48 of which is controlled by a temperature sensor 49 or 49 '. This measures the exhaust gas temperature in the flue gas outlet 41. The lower this temperature is, the further the throttle valve 47 is opened and thus the additional air quantity serving to improve the train is increased. The drive can take place as shown via an expansion temperature sensor 49 and a membrane capsule 48 or through a bimetal or in another way.
