Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heat exchanger structure that is particularly indicated for central heating boilers and the production of sanitary hot water.
- a heat exchanger is any type of equipment designed for thermal exchange between liquids separated by a conducting wall.
- the exchange of heat between two liquids is generally obtained across a surface made of a good heat-conducting material, such as metal, which separates the two liquids that flow through the exchanger at the same time: in this way, the heat is transmitted, across the surface, from the hotter liquid to the cooler one.
- the exchangers that are currently on the market that are present in central heating and water heater boilers are usually of the tubular type, so that the first liquid flows inside the pipes and the second flows along the outside.
- the exchanger is composed of a coiled pipe or various pipes placed horizontally, over a burner used to heat the air that then comes into contact with the metal surface designed to remove heat from the air and transfer it to the water inside the pipes.
- the pipes are connected to a cold water inlet pipe and a hot water outlet pipe; which, while flowing through the exchanger pipes, is heated.
- the exchanger on the outside of the pipes, has a plurality of metal plates that are designed to increase the thermal exchange surface.
- the heat, produced during the first burner phase and dispersed in the fumes after passing through the exchanger, is used to heat the area surrounding the exchanger itself in order to be able to use it further but this means that the structure and devices in the exchanger need to have a very complex design.
- condensation boilers have proved to be more delicate and subject to wear and deterioration of the devices and components.
- patent EP 1.136.667 shows a heat exchanger structure featuring a pair of radiating elements, each of which is composed of two parts which are mutually coupled in a symmetrical manner as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- the external flow is not continuous and uniform, as it is interrupted by a series of dividers, therefor the radiating element is lapped by the fluid only in the three central zones and not over the entire surface, creating a discontinuity and differences in temperature, and has mutually perpendicular flows.
- German patent DE 873921 shows a modular structure composed of a plurality of radiating elements, each of which is composed of a pair of internal elements equipped with fins and a pair of external portions whose function is to contain and clad the internal elements.
- the two internal elements are mutually coupled so that the fins are mutually interposed in a parallel fashion.
- Each external portion features, externally, a series of loops which, when the two portions are coupled, create channels.
- each radiating element is composed of two internal elements and two external cladding portions, therefore the said radiating element is composed of several pieces which must be assembled.
- Patent DE 37 04 215 features a heat exchanger composed of a single radiating element, which is composed of two mutually different, mutually coupling half-parts.
- the radiating element is absolutely not couplable with another identical element way, therefore it is not possible to create a heat exchanger consisting of a plurality of elements.
- the aim of the present invention is substantially to resolve the problems of the current techniques by overcoming the difficulties described above by means of a heat exchanger structure, which is able to completely exploit all the heat produced by a burner to heat a liquid with just one flow cycle and without the recovery of the fumes.
- the second aim of the present invention is to have a heat exchanger structure that allows the flow of heat across an exchange surface that is considerably increased.
- the third aim of the present invention is to have a heat exchanger structure that allows considerable saving of energy consumption of the burner for the same flow heated and temperature obtained.
- Another aim of the present invention is to have a heat exchanger structure that has a simple and modular structure and a small overhang and that is able to exploit all the unused spaces inside boilers.
- a further aim of the present invention derives from the fact that the heat exchanger allows the liquid heating to be performed in a single phase.
- the last but not least important aim of the present invention is to produce a heat exchanger that is simple to produce and that works well.
- the heat exchanger structure 1 is substantially composed of a frame 2 inside which are arranged, parallel with each other, a plurality of radiating components 3.
- Each radiating component 3 is substantially composed of a pair of basic components 3a and 3b that are coupled with each other symmetrically as shown in figures 16 to 20 .
- each basic component 3a or 3b is composed of a plate 30 with, on the inner side, a plurality of primary wings 31, equally spaced from each other and positioned orthogonally to the plate itself, and on the outer side a series of secondary wings 32, which are also positioned orthogonally to the plate 30 and equally spaced from each other, but closer to each other than the primary wings 31 as shown in figures 13, 15 and 22 .
- the secondary wings 32 are designed to absorb the heat produced by a burner 4 positioned under the frame 2 of the exchanger and transmit it to the plate 30 and the primary wings 31 inside the radiating component, so that it is transmitted to the liquid that flows inside the space 34, created by the coupling of the two basic components 3a and 3b.
- the plate 30 is equipped with two projections 30a and 30b forming an arch, facing each other and designed to couple with the corresponding projection present on the other basic component forming a channel 350 as shown in figures 16, 17, 18 , 19 and 20 .
- the frame 2 is equipped with at least one first cold liquid inlet duct 5 positioned below the base of the frame itself.
- the first duct 5 is connected to the space 34 of each radiating component 3 by means of a first passage 35 present in the duct 5 and through which the liquid from the duct 5 enters the first channel 350 created by the coupling of the projections 30a in each radiating component present in the frame 2 as shown in figures 1 and 7 .
- the frame 2 is provided with at least one second hot liquid outlet duct 6 positioned above the top of the frame itself.
- the second duct 6 is also connected with the space 34 of each radiating component 3 by means of a second passage 36 present in the duct 6 and through which the liquid, from the second channel 350 created by the coupling of the projections 30b, enters the duct 6 from the opposite side to the plate with respect to the passage 35.
- the exchanger is equipped with two first cold liquid inlet ducts 5 in the plurality of radiating components and two second outlet ducts 6 for the liquid output that in the meantime has been heated by the plurality of radiating components.
- each basic component is composed of extruded or moulded metal so the manufacturing of the entire exchanger is very simple, as it is achieved by the assembly of two basic components to obtain a radiating component 3 and the arrangement of a plurality of radiating components that are arranged vertically and parallel with one another.
- the first and the last basic components do not have the external wings 32 as shown in figure 1 .
- the exchanger has an enclosing wall 7 as shown in figures 2 and 3 .
- the functioning principle of the heat exchanger structure in question is achieved by the fact that the burner produces heat that heats the air present, which tends to rise upwards giving off a quantity of heat that is released, while moving upwards towards the boiler exhaust, to the radiating components inside which the water flows that receives heat from the metal structure that the radiating components removed from the air.
- the air, while flowing from the burner to the exhaust, shall have released all its heat and used up its heating energy that has been taken up from the radiating components along the whole vertical length that the air moves along and not only for a short length as happened with the prior art where the exchanger had a very small vertical overhang as the pipes that constituted it and in which the water flowed were positioned horizontally.
- the water that has to be heated enters the exchanger structure into the spaces 34 through the duct 5 after having passed through the passage 35 and entered the first channel 350 of each radiating component to then exit through the hot water duct 6 passing through the second channel 350 and the passage 36.
- the water collects all the heat produced by the burner, completely exploiting it, and the air that exits through the boiler exhaust shall have used up all the heat energy contained in it and shall be at a low temperature.
- the heating cycle may be continuous without interruptions or idle periods and without heat dispersal or the necessity to recover it to introduce it into the exchanger again as happens in many boilers of the prior art.
- the configuration of the exchanger allows the use, and therefore complete exploitation of the heat produced by the burner at all the points as, the heat, while flowing through the boiler, always comes into contact with the exchanger structure in every horizontal and vertical section.
- the present invention therefore achieves the aims proposed.
- the exchanger structure according to the present invention allows the complete exploitation of all the heat produced by a burner to heat a liquid with just one cycle and without recovering the fumes.
- the vertical configuration of the plates and the vertical water cycle allows all the heat produced by the burner to be used while flowing from the bottom to the top.
- the radiating components are able to absorb all the heat produced and transmit it to the water that is flowing inside them.
- the exchanger in question allows the heat to pass across an exchange surface that is considerably increased due to the presence of plates and not a pipe, as happened in the prior art, and internal wings.
- the heat exchanger structure allows a considerable saving to be made in the energy consumption of the burner, with the same flow heated and temperature obtained, with savings in methane consumption, for example, of over 50% due to the fact that all the heat produced is used and transferred to the water.
- the reduced consumption of the burner allows the reduction, as a result, of the resulting emission into the atmosphere with resulting limitation and reduction of pollutants released into the air.
- the heat exchanger structure is simple and modular, has a small overhang and exploits all the unused spaces present in the boilers of the prior art. Besides, the exchanger structure in question is able to transfer a greater quantity of heat in a smaller space, thereby reducing the possibility for dispersal unlike what happens in the boilers currently on the market.
- the exchanger structure allows the upwards distribution of the heat produced by the burner to be exploited optimally with a large exchange surface.
- the exchanger does not need containment and protection walls as is necessary with those of the prior art as while assembling the radiating components, the overall structure is already obtained so it is therefore possible to create a watertight chamber type boiler without the external structure.
- the exchanger structure according to the present invention is simple, as it is the sum of a single piece, the radiating component, that is multiplied, unlike the components that compose the exchangers of the prior art that are composed of a certain number of single pieces that are different from each other and that are then assembled, so it is possible to build a very compact boiler with low manufacturing costs, even using a single radiating component.
- a further advantage of the present exchanger derives from the fact that it is very versatile and easy to use; in fact it allows all the heat produced by the burner to be used, with a simple structure and a single operative cycle for the boiler.

Description
- The present invention relates to a heat exchanger structure that is particularly indicated for central heating boilers and the production of sanitary hot water.
- As is known, a heat exchanger is any type of equipment designed for thermal exchange between liquids separated by a conducting wall. In particular, the exchange of heat between two liquids is generally obtained across a surface made of a good heat-conducting material, such as metal, which separates the two liquids that flow through the exchanger at the same time: in this way, the heat is transmitted, across the surface, from the hotter liquid to the cooler one. Up to now, the exchangers that are currently on the market that are present in central heating and water heater boilers are usually of the tubular type, so that the first liquid flows inside the pipes and the second flows along the outside.
- In greater detail, currently in boilers, the exchanger is composed of a coiled pipe or various pipes placed horizontally, over a burner used to heat the air that then comes into contact with the metal surface designed to remove heat from the air and transfer it to the water inside the pipes. The pipes are connected to a cold water inlet pipe and a hot water outlet pipe; which, while flowing through the exchanger pipes, is heated. In addition to what has been described above, the exchanger, on the outside of the pipes, has a plurality of metal plates that are designed to increase the thermal exchange surface.
- The exchangers present on the market, while working very well, have presented a plurality of drawbacks, once they are inserted into a boiler for heating.
- One first drawback found derives from the fact that, in current boilers, there are empty spaces where heat dispersal is detected. One of these spaces where heat is lost is the space between the burner and the exchanger, while another space is above the exchanger. As is known, the heat tends to rise from the bottom to the top, so the heat produced by the burner involves and comes into contact with the exchanger for only a very limited vertical stretch as all the pipes are arranged horizontally. In particular, the water flows inside the exchanger parallel to the burner while the heat moves vertically so there is considerable dispersal of heat as the contact zone for the heat with the exchanger is limited vertically. In fact, the heat flow exploitation zone is limited to the vertical overhang of the exchanger, so boilers have areas with the presence of unused heat, which may also be considerable.
- Another drawback, therefore, that is found in current exchangers derives from the fact that they release fumes into the environment and atmosphere that are still hot, and as a result, waste and disperse energy that over time leads to high running costs of the system, as well as the fact that the fumes released contribute to environment global warming, with resulting changes to the ecosystem in the long term.
- To compensate for what has just been described, technical solutions have been studied to recover and reuse the fumes that are still very hot and avoid pointless heat dispersal into the environment. With this aim, many of the boilers on the market have devices for the recovery of fumes and heat so that part of the heat produced by the burner is not wasted but reused to heat the water. These boilers, called condensation boilers, work in two phases: the first phase heats while the second recovers "temperature" and heat from the fumes and introduces them into the exchanger again. In greater detail, the heat, produced during the first burner phase and dispersed in the fumes after passing through the exchanger, is used to heat the area surrounding the exchanger itself in order to be able to use it further but this means that the structure and devices in the exchanger need to have a very complex design.
- The boilers described above also present various drawbacks.
- One drawback derives from the fact that condensation boilers, as previously mentioned, are becoming more and more elaborate and equipped with devices for greater use of the heat produced by the fumes, but these components make them complicated and expensive, both to produce and to maintain.
- Another drawback found emerges from the fact that, even by reusing the fumes, the boilers have high fuel consumption lost in heat dispersal, due to the presence of areas in which the heat produced by the burner does not come into contact with the water pipes.
- In addition to what has been described above, condensation boilers have proved to be more delicate and subject to wear and deterioration of the devices and components.
- The applicant is aware of patent
EP 1.136.667 , which shows a heat exchanger structure featuring a pair of radiating elements, each of which is composed of two parts which are mutually coupled in a symmetrical manner as defined in the preamble of claim 1. In particular, the external flow is not continuous and uniform, as it is interrupted by a series of dividers, therefor the radiating element is lapped by the fluid only in the three central zones and not over the entire surface, creating a discontinuity and differences in temperature, and has mutually perpendicular flows. - Furthermore, the applicant is aware of German patent
DE 873921 , which shows a modular structure composed of a plurality of radiating elements, each of which is composed of a pair of internal elements equipped with fins and a pair of external portions whose function is to contain and clad the internal elements. In particular, the two internal elements are mutually coupled so that the fins are mutually interposed in a parallel fashion. Each external portion features, externally, a series of loops which, when the two portions are coupled, create channels. In German patentDE 873921 , each radiating element is composed of two internal elements and two external cladding portions, therefore the said radiating element is composed of several pieces which must be assembled. -
Patent DE 37 04 215 features a heat exchanger composed of a single radiating element, which is composed of two mutually different, mutually coupling half-parts. The radiating element is absolutely not couplable with another identical element way, therefore it is not possible to create a heat exchanger consisting of a plurality of elements. - Finally, American patent
U.S. 1.850.211 shows a radiator core for cars which is composed of modular radiating elements composed of a single piece. In particular, it features fins on the internal part, and each fin is obtained from an element folded back on itself. - The aim of the present invention is substantially to resolve the problems of the current techniques by overcoming the difficulties described above by means of a heat exchanger structure, which is able to completely exploit all the heat produced by a burner to heat a liquid with just one flow cycle and without the recovery of the fumes.
- The second aim of the present invention is to have a heat exchanger structure that allows the flow of heat across an exchange surface that is considerably increased.
- The third aim of the present invention is to have a heat exchanger structure that allows considerable saving of energy consumption of the burner for the same flow heated and temperature obtained.
- Another aim of the present invention is to have a heat exchanger structure that has a simple and modular structure and a small overhang and that is able to exploit all the unused spaces inside boilers.
- A further aim of the present invention derives from the fact that the heat exchanger allows the liquid heating to be performed in a single phase. The last but not least important aim of the present invention is to produce a heat exchanger that is simple to produce and that works well.
- These aims and others, which shall better emerge in the description that follows, are achieved by a heat exchanger structure, claimed as follows. Further characteristics and advantages shall better emerge in the description that follows of a heat exchanger structure, according to the present embodiment, illustrated below with reference to the plates enclosed, provided purely in the form of non-limiting examples, in which:

figures 33 and 34 illustrate the functioning diagram of the boiler with the heat exchanger according to the present invention. - With reference to the figures mentioned, and in particular
figure 1 , with 1 a heat exchanger structure has been indicated overall, according to the present invention. - The heat exchanger structure 1 is substantially composed of a
frame 2 inside which are arranged, parallel with each other, a plurality of radiatingcomponents 3. - Each radiating
component 3 is substantially composed of a pair ofbasic components 3a and 3b that are coupled with each other symmetrically as shown infigures 16 to 20 . In greater detail, eachbasic component 3a or 3b is composed of aplate 30 with, on the inner side, a plurality ofprimary wings 31, equally spaced from each other and positioned orthogonally to the plate itself, and on the outer side a series ofsecondary wings 32, which are also positioned orthogonally to theplate 30 and equally spaced from each other, but closer to each other than theprimary wings 31 as shown infigures 13, 15 and22 . - In accordance with the present embodiment, the
secondary wings 32 are designed to absorb the heat produced by aburner 4 positioned under theframe 2 of the exchanger and transmit it to theplate 30 and theprimary wings 31 inside the radiating component, so that it is transmitted to the liquid that flows inside thespace 34, created by the coupling of the twobasic components 3a and 3b. - In addition to what has already been described, the
plate 30 is equipped with twoprojections channel 350 as shown infigures 16, 17, 18 ,19 and 20 . - In the present embodiment, the
frame 2 is equipped with at least one first coldliquid inlet duct 5 positioned below the base of the frame itself. Thefirst duct 5 is connected to thespace 34 of each radiatingcomponent 3 by means of afirst passage 35 present in theduct 5 and through which the liquid from theduct 5 enters thefirst channel 350 created by the coupling of theprojections 30a in each radiating component present in theframe 2 as shown infigures 1 and7 . - Similarly, the
frame 2 is provided with at least one second hotliquid outlet duct 6 positioned above the top of the frame itself. Thesecond duct 6 is also connected with thespace 34 of each radiatingcomponent 3 by means of asecond passage 36 present in theduct 6 and through which the liquid, from thesecond channel 350 created by the coupling of theprojections 30b, enters theduct 6 from the opposite side to the plate with respect to thepassage 35. - According to the present invention, the exchanger is equipped with two first cold
liquid inlet ducts 5 in the plurality of radiating components and twosecond outlet ducts 6 for the liquid output that in the meantime has been heated by the plurality of radiating components. - A different embodiment foresees that the cold liquid enters the
duct 6 and when heated exits from theduct 5. - According to the present invention, each basic component is composed of extruded or moulded metal so the manufacturing of the entire exchanger is very simple, as it is achieved by the assembly of two basic components to obtain a
radiating component 3 and the arrangement of a plurality of radiating components that are arranged vertically and parallel with one another. - In addition to what has been described above, the first and the last basic components do not have the
external wings 32 as shown infigure 1 . Besides, if the first and last basic components haveexternal wings 32 also on the ends, the exchanger has an enclosing wall 7 as shown infigures 2 and 3 . - Another variation foresees the presence of just one
radiating component 3. - After what has been described above prevalently regarding the structure, the functioning of the embodiment in question is as follows.
- The functioning principle of the heat exchanger structure in question is achieved by the fact that the burner produces heat that heats the air present,
which tends to rise upwards giving off a quantity of heat that is released, while moving upwards towards the boiler exhaust, to the radiating components inside which the water flows that receives heat from the metal structure that the radiating components removed from the air. The air, while flowing from the burner to the exhaust, shall have released all its heat and used up its heating energy that has been taken up from the radiating components along the whole vertical length that the air moves along and not only for a short length as happened with the prior art where the exchanger had a very small vertical overhang as the pipes that constituted it and in which the water flowed were positioned horizontally. In the case of a boiler, the water that has to be heated enters the exchanger structure into thespaces 34 through theduct 5 after having passed through thepassage 35 and entered thefirst channel 350 of each radiating component to then exit through thehot water duct 6 passing through thesecond channel 350 and thepassage 36. - During its vertical passage, the water collects all the heat produced by the burner, completely exploiting it, and the air that exits through the boiler exhaust shall have used up all the heat energy contained in it and shall be at a low temperature. The heating cycle may be continuous without interruptions or idle periods and without heat dispersal or the necessity to recover it to introduce it into the exchanger again as happens in many boilers of the prior art. In particular, the configuration of the exchanger allows the use, and therefore complete exploitation of the heat produced by the burner at all the points as, the heat, while flowing through the boiler, always comes into contact with the exchanger structure in every horizontal and vertical section.
- The present invention therefore achieves the aims proposed.
- The exchanger structure according to the present invention allows the complete exploitation of all the heat produced by a burner to heat a liquid with just one cycle and without recovering the fumes.
- In fact, the vertical configuration of the plates and the vertical water cycle allows all the heat produced by the burner to be used while flowing from the bottom to the top. In this way, the radiating components are able to absorb all the heat produced and transmit it to the water that is flowing inside them.
- In particular, the exchanger in question allows the heat to pass across an exchange surface that is considerably increased due to the presence of plates and not a pipe, as happened in the prior art, and internal wings. Advantageously, the heat exchanger structure allows a considerable saving to be made in the energy consumption of the burner, with the same flow heated and temperature obtained, with savings in methane consumption, for example, of over 50% due to the fact that all the heat produced is used and transferred to the water.
- Besides, the reduced consumption of the burner allows the reduction, as a result, of the resulting emission into the atmosphere with resulting limitation and reduction of pollutants released into the air. Advantageously, the heat exchanger structure is simple and modular, has a small overhang and exploits all the unused spaces present in the boilers of the prior art. Besides, the exchanger structure in question is able to transfer a greater quantity of heat in a smaller space, thereby reducing the possibility for dispersal unlike what happens in the boilers currently on the market.
- In addition to what has been described above, the exchanger structure allows the upwards distribution of the heat produced by the burner to be exploited optimally with a large exchange surface.
- Besides, the exchanger does not need containment and protection walls as is necessary with those of the prior art as while assembling the radiating components, the overall structure is already obtained so it is therefore possible to create a watertight chamber type boiler without the external structure.
- In particular, the exchanger structure according to the present invention is simple, as it is the sum of a single piece, the radiating component, that is multiplied, unlike the components that compose the exchangers of the prior art that are composed of a certain number of single pieces that are different from each other and that are then assembled, so it is possible to build a very compact boiler with low manufacturing costs, even using a single radiating component.
- A further advantage of the present exchanger derives from the fact that it is very versatile and easy to use; in fact it allows all the heat produced by the burner to be used, with a simple structure and a single operative cycle for the boiler.
- The last but not least advantage of the present invention is that it is considerably easy to use, simple to manufacture and works well.
- Of course, numerous modifications and variations may be made to the present invention, which are all included in the field of the inventive concept that characterises it.
