Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heat exchanger for common use for a boiler and a hot water supply according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention relates more particularly to a heat exchanger for common use for a boiler and a hot water supply in which a combustion chamber and a common heat exchanger an be used in common when manufacturing a non-condensing, semi-condensing and condensing boiler, to thereby make it possible to manufacture the non-condensing, semi-condensing and condensing boiler.
- a boiler for use in general homes and buildings is used for heating rooms and supplying hot water, which is divided into a fuel oil boiler and a fuel gas boiler, according to a type of fuel used.
- a gas fuel boiler liquified petroleum gas (LPG) has been being used, but liquified natural gas (LNG) is being used since LNG contains few sulphuric component in comparison with LPG, to thus minimize an air pollution.
- LPG liquified petroleum gas
- LNG liquified natural gas
- a gas boiler can be divided into a variety of types according to a control method or a sealing state thereof. Further, a gas boiler can be classified into a condensing gas boiler and a non-condensing gas boiler according to a method of re-collecting heat sources heating water.
- the US 6,662,758 B1 shows such a condensing gas boiler, which recollects condensed latent heat by uptrend combustion, is provided.
- Latent heat exchangers are disposed in the same area as that of a combustion chamber, and perpendicular with the combustion chamber.
- An exhaust gas guiding member is installed so that the exhaust gas is collected into a place in the rear portion of a latent heat portion to then pass trough the latent heat exchangers.
- the latent exchangers are installed slantly in such a manner that the re-absorption of the condensed latent heat can be done in the latent heat exchangers.
- a heat exchanger for use in such a condensing boiler includes a combustion heat exchanger 29 which heats water directly using heat from a burner 10, and a latent heat exchanger 28 which heats water indirectly using latent heat of an exhaust gas passing through the combustion heat exchanger 29.
- a condensed water basin 32 which externally guides condensed water due to an exhaust gas is provided between the combustion heat exchanger 29 and the latent heat exchanger 28.
- a guide plate 33 slants at the same angle as the condensed water basin 32.
- An exhaust gas discharge portion 36 is formed in opposition to the exhaust gas inlet 31.
- the exhaust gas passing through the combustion heat exchanger 29 flows in via one side of the latent heat exchanger 28 by the condensed water basin 32, passes through latent fin tubes 28', and is discharged via an exhaust gas outlet 37 in an exhaust gas discharge portion 36. Accordingly, heat can be transferred toward the latent heat exchanger 28 for a sufficient time.
- a heat exchanger 30 is directly heated by combustion of a burner 10, and an exhaust gas is discharged via an exhaust gas outlet 37.
- the non-condensing heat exchanger 30 is generally made of a copper material whose heat transfer rate is excellent. Since a high heat efficiency is pursued due to an energy policy and a control technology is developed, the non-condensing heat exchanger is designed to suppress condensation at maximum. However, a condensation phenomenon cannot be prevented from occurring partially or temporarily, which causes the heat exchanger to be corroded.
- the heat exchanger of the condensing boiler shown in FIGs. 1 and 2 differs in its construction from that of the non-condensing boiler shown in FIGs. 3 and 4 , due to respectively different heat absorption methods.
- the invention enables a manufacturer to selectively manufacture a condensing boiler, a semi-condensing boiler and a non-condensing boiler at low cost, to thus save a development period, a manufacturing cost, and a management cost after mass-production, relatively in comparison with those of a conventional heat exchanger, in which a latent heat exchanger or a non-condensing heat exchanger (called an auxiliary heat exchanger) is combined on the upper end of the common heat exchanger which can be commonly used for manufacturing the condensing boiler, the semi-condensing boiler, and the non-condensing boiler.
- a latent heat exchanger or a non-condensing heat exchanger called an auxiliary heat exchanger
- the inventive heat exchanger for common use for a boiler and a hot water supply is made of a corrosion-resistant material and a hybrid metal corrosion-preventive structure and includes a condensed water basin as necessary.

- a heat exchanger for a condensing and non-condensing gas boiler can be manufactured with a common heat exchanger according to the present invention. Accordingly, the heat exchanger for a gas boiler can be manufactured at low cost. Also, since two kinds of heat exchangers can be manufactured with a common heat exchanger, an additional process is not necessary.
- a non-condensing boiler adopting a common heat exchanger according to the present invention has a high efficiency.
