Definitions

the invention relates to a combination boiler suitable for heating heating water circulating in an external heating circuit and for heating tap water, comprising:
Understood by combination boiler is a boiler which is suitable for heating heating water circulating in an external heating circuit.
This external heating circuit is generally understood to refer to a central heating circuit.
Such combination boilers are further suitable for heating tap water.
the output of such a boiler for heating tap water is rather low.
the output is sufficiently high to heat a quantity of tap water for showering, but the output is generally too low to heat a quantity of bath water, so that filling of a bath takes a relatively long time.
this problem is solved by using a buffer tank; in this buffer tank a quantity of heated tap water is stored which is supplied when tap water is demanded.
a heating coil which is fed with water circulating in the heating circuit.
the object of the present invention is therefore to provide such a combination boiler, wherein for the predetermined time a flow rate of water can be supplied at a predetermined temperature level and wherein the original design of the boiler is retained.
this additional heating device which can have a small volume, it is possible, when the temperature of water coming from the buffer tank falls, to add to the drained tap water an amount of heat which is small but which becomes increasingly larger. It is thus possible to temporarily increase the capacity of the boiler while retaining the original boiler design.
the buffer tank is adapted to store a quantity of heated tap water, wherein the buffer tank is provided with a first heating element included in the heating circuit.
the buffer tank is incorporated in the heating circuit and a heat generating coil is arranged in the buffer tank, which coil is adapted to transfer heat from the buffer tank to tap water flowing through the coil.
the additional heating device can be formed by an electrical heating device, but it is equally possible for the additional heating device to be formed by a heat exchanger, one side of which is arranged in the heating circuit.
FIG. 1 shows a heating unit 1 formed by a combustion space 2, above which is arranged a heat exchanger 3.
a heating circuit is formed by a connection 4, for instance for water coming from a central heating installation and circulating therein.
the connection 4 is connected to a three-way valve 5 which is connected via a pump 6 to heat exchanger 3.
the outlet of heat exchanger 3 is connected to a central heating outlet 7.
the parts described up to this point are the classic components of a typical central heating boiler.
the present combination boiler is further provided with a buffer tank 8 in which a heating coil 9 is arranged.
the heating coil 9 is connected to the same heating circuit of which the central heating connections 4,7 form part.
the feed connection of heating coil 9 is connected via a heat exchanger 10 to be discussed hereinbelow to the outlet of heating unit 1, while the outlet of heating coil 9 is connected to the three-way valve 5.
the buffer tank 8 is joined to a connection 11 for supplying cold tap water.
the outlet of the buffer tank is connected to one of the inlets of a mixing valve 12.
the other inlet of mixing valve 12 is joined to the connection 11 for the tap water.
the mixing valve 12 is preferably formed by a thermostatic mixing valve, i.e. a mixing valve which can be controlled such that the temperature of the water delivered by the mixing valve is as constant as possible.
a heat exchanger 10 is included in the heating circuit, this being the primary side thereof, i.e. 13.
the outlet of mixing valve 12 is connected to the secondary side 14 of heat exchanger 10.
this device When the device is switched on, tap water is admitted into buffer tank 8 until it is filled. When the heating device is then switched on, the content of buffer tank 8 will be heated by hot water circulating in the heating circuit and by means of heating coil 9 until the required temperature is reached. Use is made for this purpose of a thermostatic control, which is not shown in the diagram but which is in any case widely known in the relevant field of the art.
this tap water is partly taken from the buffer tank and partly taken directly from the connection 11 for cold tap water.
the two quantities of water are mixed in mixing valve 12, either in a fixed mixing ratio when the mixing valve is provided with fixed constrictions or with a fixed temperature of the outflowing water, wherein various adjustments are made such that, with the increase in temperature caused by the heat exchanger 10, water having the required temperature is obtained at the tap point 15. It is pointed out here that as a result of water being drained from buffer tank 8 the temperature hereof slowly falls because the output of the heating coil 9 is exceeded by the output represented by the heated water.
figure 2 thus shows for instance a diagram which is slightly modified.
the diagram of figure 2 differs in that heat exchanger 10 is included in the heat exchanger 3 of the heating unit.
the construction is hereby simplified.
an electrical heating element could be used in the configuration shown in figure 2. It is noted herein that by using an electrical heating element 17 it becomes easier to make use of a mixing valve 12 with fixed constrictions; the output of the electrical heating element can in any case then be controlled.
the heat exchanger 10 is integrated into the buffer tank. This results in a more compact construction.
the mixing valve 12 can then moreover be integrated into the relevant structural part.
the heating coil of the buffer tank is placed behind the heating coil of the heat exchanger in the heating circuit. This can of course also be reversed, although this results in a less attractive dimensioning.
figure 5 shows a configuration where the function of buffer tank 8 is changed; instead of tap water as in the first three embodiments, the buffer tank of the embodiment of figure 5 contains water belonging to the heating circuit. Heating of the tap water takes place by means of the coil 9 which is arranged in buffer tank 8 and which is not used in this embodiment to heat the content of buffer tank 8. The liquid flowing through coil 9 is instead heated by the content of buffer tank 8.
the embodiment shown in figure 5 differs further in the location of mixing valve 12; in the present embodiment this is placed behind the secondary side 14 of heat exchanger 10, so that only after passing through heat exchanger 10 is the tap water mixed with the non-heated tap water.
mixing valve 12 in the present embodiment this is placed behind the secondary side 14 of heat exchanger 10, so that only after passing through heat exchanger 10 is the tap water mixed with the non-heated tap water.
a thermostatic mixing valve is used a more precise tap water temperature is obtained at the draw-off point; variations in the temperature increase caused by heat exchanger 10 are in any case equalized, while on the other hand the temperature at the end of the heat exchanger is higher, so that the heat exchanger is perhaps less effective.
