Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Heizungsanlage mit einem Wärmeerzeuger, der einen Wärmeübertrager mit Wärme versorgt, wobei der Wärmeübertrager ausgangsseitig einen Heizkreis mit Heizkörpern und einem Brauchwasserladekreis für einen Brauchwasserspeicher mit Warmwasser speist, wobei im unteren Bereich des Brauchwasserspeichers kaltes Wasser entnommen, über eine Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe und den Wärmeübertrager geleitet im oberen Bereich des Brauchwasserspeichers erwärmt wieder zugeführt wird und wobei dem Brauchwasserspeicher in einem Brauchwasserkreis im unteren Bereich Kaltwasser zuführbar und im oberen Bereich über angeschlossene Zapfstellen warmes Brauchwasser entnehmbar ist.The invention relates to a heating system with a heat generator that supplies heat to a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger on the output side feeds a heating circuit with radiators and a Brauchwasserladekreis for a water heater with hot water, taken in the lower part of the hot water tank cold water, a domestic water charge pump and the heat exchanger passed in the upper part of the hot water tank heated is fed back and wherein the hot water tank in a hot water circuit in the lower range cold water can be supplied and in the upper part via connected taps hot hot water can be removed.

Derartige Heizungsanlagen sind beispielsweise in der DE 36 24 261 A1 oder der EP 0 936415 A2 gezeigt.Such heating systems are for example in the DE 36 24 261 A1 or the EP 0 936415 A2 shown.

Bei derartigen Heizungsanlagen, die mit dem sogenannten Schichtladespeichersystem versehen sind, muss zur Erhöhung des Benutzungskomforts eine eigene Zirkulationspumpe vorgesehen werden, die das warme Wasser des Brauchwasserspeichers in einem Zirkulationskreis umwälzt. Dies bedingt einen Mehraufwand an zusätzlichen Bauteilen und einem erhöhten Energiebedarf.In such heating systems, which are provided with the so-called stratified charge storage system, a separate circulation pump must be provided to increase the ease of use, which circulates the warm water of the hot water tank in a circulation circuit. This requires an additional expenditure of additional components and an increased energy requirement.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, bei einer Heizungsanlage der eingangs erwähnten Art einen Zirkulationskreis zu schaffen, für den auf den Einsatz einer Zirkulationspumpe verzichtet werden kann.It is an object of the invention to provide in a heating system of the type mentioned a circulation circuit, can be dispensed with the use of a circulation pump.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass der Warmwasser-Ausgang des Brauchwasserkreises vor den Zapfstellen über eine Zirkulationsleitung und einen Rückflussverhinderer mit dem Eingang der Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe verbunden ist, die zwischen dem Kaltwasser-Ausgang des Brauchwasserspeichers für den Brauchwasserladekreis und dem Wärmeübertrager eingeschleift ist und dass zwischen den Kaltwasser-Ausgang des Brauchwasserspeichers für den Brauchwasserladekreis und die Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe ein Lade-Wassermengenbegrenzer eingeschleift ist, der auf eine vorgebbare Lade-Wassermenge festgelegt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the hot water outlet of the hot water circuit is connected in front of the taps via a circulation line and a backflow preventer with the input of the service water charging pump, which looped between the cold water outlet of the hot water tank for the dhw charging circuit and the heat exchanger is and that between the cold water outlet of the hot water tank for the domestic water charging circuit and the service water charging pump a charging Wassermengenbegrenzer is looped, which is set to a predetermined charging water quantity.

Mit diesem Zirkulationskreis wird die Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe des Brauch-wasserladekreises auch als Zirkulationspumpe für die Umwälzung des Brauchwassers verwendet und so eine getrennte Zirkulationspumpe vermieden, ohne auf die Funktion der Umwälzung des Brauchwassers verzichten zu müssen.With this circulation circuit, the service water charging pump of the service water charging circuit is also used as a circulation pump for circulating the service water, thus avoiding a separate circulation pump without having to do without the function of circulating the service water.

Da der Wassermengenbegrenzer und der Rückflussverhinderer auch in herkömmlichen Heizungsanlagen erforderlich sind, ist anstelle einer Zirkulationspumpe nur der zusätzliche Lade-Wassermengenbegrenzer erforderlichSince the Wassermengenbegrenzer and the backflow preventer are also required in conventional heating systems, instead of a circulation pump only the additional charging Wassermengenbegrenzer is required

Die für den Schichtladebetrieb erforderliche Lade-Wassermenge kann unabhängig von dem Zirkulations-Kreis eingestellt werden, wenn vorgesehen ist, dass in den Brauchwasserladekreis zwischen die Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe und den Wärmeübertrager ein Wassermengenbegrenzer eingeschleift ist, der auf eine Gesamt-Wassermenge einstellbar ist, die durch die Summe aus Lade-Wassermenge und Zirkulations-Wassermenge festgelegt ist.The charging amount of water required for the stratified charge operation can be set independently of the circulation circuit when it is provided that the service water charging circuit between the service water charging pump and the Heat exchangers a Wassermengenbegrenzer is looped, which is adjustable to a total amount of water, which is determined by the sum of the amount of charge water and circulation water quantity.

Ist nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, dass der Wärmeübertrager als Zweikreis-Wärmetauscher ausgebildet ist, wobei der eine Wärmetauscher dem Heizkreis und der andere Wärmetauscher dem Brauchwasserladekreis zugeordnet sind, dann kann beim Betrieb der Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe eine Zirkulations-Wassermenge unabhängig von der Lade-Wassermenge mitgefördert und über die Zirkulationsleitung wieder der Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe zugeführt werden.Is provided according to a further embodiment, that the heat exchanger is designed as a two-circuit heat exchanger, wherein the one heat exchanger associated with the heating circuit and the other heat exchanger the service water charging circuit, then during operation of the service water charging pump, a circulation water amount regardless of the charging water quantity be conveyed and fed via the circulation line back to the service water charging pump.

Von Vorteil ist eine Ausgestaltung, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass der Wärmeerzeuger als Gasheiztherme ausgebildet ist, da dann die Wärmeaufteilung im Wärmeübertrager optimal an die Anforderungen des Heizkreises und des Brauch-wasserladekreises angepasst werden kann.It is advantageous embodiment, which is characterized in that the heat generator is designed as Gasheiztherme, since then the heat distribution in the heat exchanger can be optimally adapted to the requirements of the heating circuit and the service-wasserladekreises.

Die Wassermengenbegrenzer sind nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung als Festdrosseln ausgebildet und in der Wassermenge einstellbar.The Wassermengenbegrenzer are formed according to an advantageous embodiment as a fixed throttle and adjustable in the amount of water.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines hydraulischen Schaltschemas einer nach der Erfindung ausgelegten Heizungsanlage näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a hydraulic circuit diagram of a designed according to the invention heating system.

Ein nicht dargestellter Wärmeerzeuger, z.B. eine Gastherme versorgt einen Wärmeübertrager 3 eingangsseitig mit Wärme. Ist dieser Wärmeübertrager 3 als Zweikreis-Wärmetauscher ausgebildet, dann wird über den einen Wärmetauscher das durchströmende Heizungswasser für den Heizkreis HK aufgeheizt, während der zweite Wärmetauscher den Brauchwasserladekreis SK mit Wärme versorgt.An unillustrated heat generator, eg a gas boiler supplies a heat exchanger 3 on the input side with heat. If this heat exchanger 3 is designed as a two-circuit heat exchanger, then via the one heat exchanger heated by the flowing heating water for the heating circuit HK, while the second heat exchanger supplies the service water charging circuit SK with heat.

Der Brauchwasserspeicher 10 wird über den Brauchwasserladekreis SK aufgeheizt. Dabei wird kaltes Wasser über den Kaltwasser-Ausgang wa im unteren Bereich des Brauchwasserspeichers 10 entnommen und über einen Lade-Wassermengenbegrenzer 6 auf eine vorgebbare Lade-Wasserpumpe begrenzt. Für die Strömung dieser Lade-Wassermenge sorgt eine Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe 1, die die Lade-Wassermenge über einen weiteren Wassermengenbegrenzer 2 und den Wärmeübertrager 3 über den Warmwasser-Eingang ww des Brauchwasserladekreises SK erwärmt, wieder dem oberen Bereich dem Brauchwasserspeicher 10 zuführt.The hot water tank 10 is heated by the domestic water charging circuit SK. In this case, cold water is removed via the cold water outlet wa in the lower region of the hot water tank 10 and limited by a charging water flow limiter 6 to a predefinable charging water pump. For the flow of this charge amount of water provides a service water charge pump 1, which heats the charge amount of water through a further Wassermengenbegrenzer 2 and the heat exchanger 3 via the hot water inlet ww of the domestic water charging circuit SK, again the upper area of the hot water tank 10 supplies.

Der eigentliche Brauchwasserkreis BW ist davon getrennt. Das Kaltwasser KW wird dem Kaltwasser-Eingang wa des Brauchwasserspeichers 10 im unteren Bereich zugeführt. An einem weiteren Warmwasser-Ausgang ww im oberen Bereich des Brauchwasserspeichers 10 wird das warme Brauchwasser den angeschalteten Zapfstellen 5 zugeführt. Vor den Zapfstellen 5, vorzugsweise am Warmwasser-Ausgang ww, zweigt eine Zirkulationsleitung 7 ab, die über einen Rückflussverhinderer 4 auf den Eingang der Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe 1 führt. Der Rückflussverhinderer 4 entkoppelt den Zirkulationskreis ZK vom Brauchwasserladekreis SK. Die Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe 1 fördert die Lade- und die Zirkulations-Wassermenge über den Wassermengenbegrenzer 2 zum Wärmeübertrager 3, der auf eine maximale Durchflussmenge als Summe der beiden Wassermengen festgelegt ist. Die Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe 1 ist entsprechend ausgelegt. Auf diese Weise sind Brauchwasserladekreis SK und Zirkulationskreis ZK so miteinander gekoppelt, dass die Brauchwasser-Ladepumpe 1 auch als Zirkulationspumpe für den Zirkulationskreis ZK dient.The actual DHW BW is separated from it. The cold water KW is fed to the cold water inlet wa of the hot water storage tank 10 in the lower area. At a further hot water outlet ww in the upper region of the hot water tank 10, the hot service water is supplied to the switched taps 5. Before the taps 5, preferably at the hot water outlet ww, branches off a circulation line 7, which leads via a return valve 4 to the input of the service water charging pump 1. The non-return valve 4 decouples the circulation circuit ZK from the domestic water charging circuit SK. The service water charge pump 1 conveys the charge and the circulation water quantity via the water flow limiter 2 to the heat exchanger 3, which is set to a maximum flow rate as the sum of the two water quantities. The service water charging pump 1 is designed accordingly. In this way, service water charging circuit SK and circulation circuit ZK are coupled to one another such that the service water charging pump 1 also serves as a circulation pump for the circulation circuit ZK.
