Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high efficiency heat exchanger boiler according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • conventional boilers used in centralized heating systems for buildings in general usually comprise a combustion chamber or combustor and a heat exchanger, one side of which is in contact with the combustion products, and the other side of which is in contact with a carrying fluid, usually comprising water, and which is successively conveyed to heat radiating units provided in the rooms of the building to be heated.
  • One of the main problems related to a proper designing of heating system boilers is that of providing a thermal exchange efficiency between the combustion fumes and the heat carrying fluid.
  • the document DE 3 640 503 C discloses a heat exchanger boiler substantially according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing such a heating system boiler which comprises a high thermal exchange efficiency heat exchanger, which can be made at a very reduced cost.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a heat exchanger boiler which can be made by a simple melting operation in a conventional mold or in sand, while preserving those constructional features which are indispensable for providing a high thermal exchange efficiency.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a heat exchanger boiler which can be assembled, at least with respect to the heat exchanger assembly thereof, in a very short time.
  • the heating system boiler which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises an outer casing 2 or shell and a heat exchanger 3.
  • the heat exchanger 3 has a prismatic configuration, preferably having a square base, and being of hollow construction.
  • Said heat exchanger 3 is vertically arranged inside said casing 2 and is provided with an inner shell 4 which laterally delimits a combustion chamber or combustor 5, in which a burner 6, of any suitable known types, is arranged.
  • the outer shell 7 of the heat exchanger 3 defines, together with the inner surface of the casing 2, a chamber 8 in which a heat carrying fluid is circulated, said fluid preferably comprising water.
  • a gap 9 is defined, occupied by a plurality of fins 10 of said heat exchanger.
  • combustion chamber or combustor 5 is preferably formed in the top half of said heat exchanger 3 and is delimited, at the bottom thereof, by a sector 11, arranged in a middle region of the inner hollow of said heat exchanger 3.
  • the outer shell of the heat exchanger 3 is in turn provided with a plurality of fins 12, which have been specifically designed to increase the thermal exchange surface between the heat exchanger 3 and the heat carrying fluid, caused to circulate inside said chamber 8.
  • the finned gap 9 communicates with the combustion chamber 5 at the top end portion thereof.
  • the combustion chamber 5 is closed, at the top thereof, by a top portion 13 which is spaced by the top end portion of the gap 9 so that the fumes or combustion gases produced by the combustion inside said chamber 5, will be introduced into said gap 9 and will descend, along said gap, so as to contact the mentioned fins 10.
  • the bottom end portion of said finned gap 9 communicates, as shown, with a fume or combustion gas collecting and removing duct 14.
  • the chamber 8 communicates, near its bottom end portion, with a supplying duct 15, provided for introducing said heat carrying fluid into said chamber 8 and, near the bottom end portion thereof, with an outlet duct 16, for removing from said chamber 8 said fluid.
  • a counter-current heat transmission occurs, i.e. from the combustion gases or fumes descending along said gap 7 and the heat carrying fluid driven upwardly along said chamber 8.
  • the heat exchanger 3 will provide a high efficiency heat transmission from said fumes to said fluid, and, moreover, said heat exchanger can be made at a very reduced cost.
  • said heat exchanger 3 is preferably made as a single piece by melting it into a conventional mold or in a sand mold arrangement.
  • the specifically designed hexagonal base prismatic configuration of said heat exchanger will allow to make it without omitting, as it would occur with a circular configuration, any portions of the fins, in order to provide an easy removal from the mold.
  • said heat exchanger 3 can be made, depending on requirements, either by a melting method or by a die casting method, starting from a cast iron or an aluminium material.
  • said heat exchanger defines said combustion chamber 4.
  • the mentioned prismatic configuration will allow to produce the heat exchanger by casting its metal material into a single core and, accordingly, greatly reducing its making cost, with respect to prior art heat exchangers.
  • the combustion chamber 4 owing to its construction, provides the advantage that the walls of the combustion chamber may be easily cooled down through the fins 9.
  • the prismatic configuration of the combustion chamber, as well as the easy and quick cooling thereof, will allow to use a radial burner of low cost and less polluting than conventional burners.
  • the top portion of the body contacting said combustion chamber will provide a primary thermal exchange function, like a conventional boiler.
  • the used materials provided that they are compatible to the intended application, as well as the contingent size and shapes, can be any, depending on requirements.
