Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une chaudière à tubes d'eau et une installation de chauffage équipée d'une telle chaudière.The present invention relates to a water tube boiler and a heating installation equipped with such a boiler.
Les chaudière de chauffage central actuelles les plus répandues comprennent une série de tubes verticaux constituant la surface de chauffe et d'échange entre le foyer et l'eau à échauffer circulant dans les tubes. Les extrémités de ces tubes sont raccordées sur deux collecteurs supérieur et inférieur, respectivement. Elles comprennent également un brûleur à gaz constitué d'une rampe par où s'échappe le mélange air-gaz dont les flammes s'accrochent à la périphérie de cette rampe. Les produits de combustion s'évacuent horizontalement autour des tubes et sont collectés dans une boîte à fumée circulaire vers une buse d'évacuation.The most common current central heating boilers comprise a series of vertical tubes constituting the heating and exchange surface between the hearth and the water to be heated circulating in the tubes. The ends of these tubes are connected to two upper and lower manifolds, respectively. They also include a gas burner consisting of a ramp through which the air-gas mixture escapes, the flames of which hang on the periphery of this ramp. The products of combustion escape horizontally around the tubes and are collected in a circular smoke box towards an exhaust nozzle.
Une installation de chauffage équipée de ces chaudières se caractérise schématiquement par des tubes de liaison raccordés sur les collecteurs supérieur et inférieur, eux-mêmes raccordés sur un échangeur-mélangeur avec une pompe de recyclage qui a pour but d'assurer une circulation d'eau très importante, afin que tous les tubes verticaux de la chaudière soient individuellement bien irrigués. Les divers circuits de l'installation de chauffage sont raccordés aux radiateurs, avec pompes intercalées.A heating installation equipped with these boilers is characterized schematically by connecting tubes connected to the upper and lower manifolds, themselves connected to an exchanger-mixer with a recycling pump which aims to ensure water circulation very important, so that all the vertical tubes of the boiler are individually well irrigated. The various circuits of the heating installation are connected to the radiators, with interposed pumps.
Il est essentiel que le débit d'eau à faire circuler dans la chaudière soit rigoureusement constant afin que la vitesse de l'eau dans chaque tube soit supérieure au paramètre de Reynolds.It is essential that the water flow to circulate in the boiler is rigorously constant so that the speed of the water in each tube is greater than the Reynolds parameter.
Si l'installation ne comporte qu'un circuit, aucun problème ne se pose, le débit d'eau de l'installation étant réglé une fois pour toutes.If the installation has only one circuit, no problem arises, the water flow of the installation being adjusted once and for all.
Si l'installation comporte plusieurs circuits, ce qui est le cas des installations importantes, l'arrêt de la circulation d'un ou plusieurs de ceux-ci fait varier le débit global de l'eau pénétrant dans la chaudière, donc dans les tubes, avec pour résultat des points de vaporisation possibles.If the installation has several circuits, which is the case for large installations, stopping the circulation of one or more of them varies the overall flow rate of the water entering the boiler, therefore in the tubes , resulting in possible vaporization points.
Pour parer à cet inconvénient on utilise un échangeur-mélangeur, cité plus haut, avec sa pompe de circulation assurant un débit constant de l'eau circulant dans la chaudière.To overcome this drawback, an exchanger-mixer, mentioned above, is used with its circulation pump ensuring a constant flow of water circulating in the boiler.
La nécessité d'introduire cet échangeur-mélangeur dans l'installation pèse sur le prix de revient global pour environ 20%, auquel il faut ajouter les frais de consommation d'électricité de la pompe et de sa maintenance.The need to introduce this exchanger-mixer into the installation weighs on the overall cost price for around 20%, to which must be added the costs of electricity consumption of the pump and its maintenance.
Le but de l'invention est de concevoir une chaudière qui supprime l'inconvénient de faire intervenir l'emploi d'un recyclage primaire de l'eau de l'installation avec utilisation de l'échangeur-mélangeur.The object of the invention is to design a boiler which eliminates the drawback of involving the use of primary recycling of the water in the installation with the use of the exchanger-mixer.
Le principe de base de cette nouvelle chaudière consiste à assurer une circulation de l'eau dans les tubes ne dépendant plus de la circulation de l'eau des radiateurs.The basic principle of this new boiler consists in ensuring a circulation of water in the tubes no longer dependent on the circulation of water from the radiators.
Pour arriver à ce résultat, la présente invention utilise la force motrice du système connu du thermosiphon.To achieve this result, the present invention uses the driving force of the known thermosyphon system.
L'invention propose donc une chaudière à tubes d'eau qui se caractérise par deux circulations d'eau indépendantes, l'une assurée au travers du collecteur supérieur auquel sont branchés les conduits départ et retour des circuits de chauffage, l'autre assurée par action thermosiphonique à l'intérieur des tubes.The invention therefore provides a water tube boiler which is characterized by two independent water circulations, one ensured through the upper collector to which the flow pipes are connected and return of the heating circuits, the other ensured by thermosiphonic action inside the tubes.
En conséquence, l'installateur fera l'économie d'installation du circuit primaire de l'échangeur-mélangeur et lui permettra de calculer son installation en faisant abstraction du débit d'eau minimum imposé pour les chaudières actuellement fabriquées.Consequently, the installer will save on the installation of the primary circuit of the heat exchanger-mixer and will allow him to calculate his installation by disregarding the minimum water flow rate imposed for the boilers currently manufactured.
La condensation sur les tubes, provoquée par "le point de rosée" résultant de la basse température de l'eau du retour de l'installation entrant dans une chaudière selon l'art antérieur, entraîne toujours une oxydation sur l'extérieur des tubes et une usure prématurée.Condensation on the tubes, caused by "dew point" resulting from the low temperature of the water returning from the installation entering a boiler according to the prior art, always causes oxidation on the outside of the tubes and premature wear.
Selon un avantage important de l'invention, cette condensation est supprimée, l'eau du retour se mélangeant immédiatement à l'eau très chaude provenant des tubes.According to an important advantage of the invention, this condensation is eliminated, the return water immediately mixing with the very hot water coming from the tubes.

D'autre part, une auto-circulation de l'eau dans les tubes 5 s'établit par le phénomène du thermosiphon de tube à tube.
