Definitions

  • the invention relates to a household appliance with a line system for process water and a flow heater arranged in the line system.
  • the instantaneous water heater has a pipe section which encloses an interior in which process water is guided. Furthermore, the instantaneous water heater has a wall heater arranged on or in a wall of the pipe section.
  • the invention also relates to a correspondingly designed instantaneous water heater.
  • Water heaters of this type in which a heater is arranged on the wall of a pipe section, are known.
  • the heat output which can be transferred to the process water with such a water heater, is limited by the length of the pipe section.
  • a long pipe section is required for a high heating output, which leads to space problems or complicated, sinuous geometries.
  • EP 2253899 describes a two-sided instantaneous water heater which has an inner tubular heater and an outer tube with radiators.
  • a water heater according to the preamble of claim 1 is from EP 0 075 274 A1 known.
  • the instantaneous water heater has a pipe section.
  • the pipe section laterally encloses an interior in which the process water is guided.
  • a wall heater is arranged in or on the wall of the pipe section, with which the process water in the interior can be heated.
  • an interior heater with a spacer to the wall is provided in the interior. The interior water can also be heated with this.
  • the pipe section has a curved and a straight section.
  • the interior heater is anchored in the curved section and protrudes into the straight section. In this way, one end of the interior heater can be attached.
  • the internal heater can also be connected to an electrical feedthrough which extends through the wall of the curved section, so that it can be supplied with current.
  • the internal heater advantageously has a U-shaped heating element, which has two straight legs and one has curved connector.
  • a coiled version is also conceivable, ie the interior heating has at least one helical section in the interior. The two legs are anchored in the region of the curved section of the pipe section. In this way, a standard component can be used.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for use in dishwashers or washing machines.
  • Fig. 1 the most important components of a dishwasher are shown in the present context.
  • the device has a tub 1 for receiving the dishes in dish racks (not shown).
  • a circulation pump 2 is used to convey process water from a sump 3 of the tub 1 via a first circulation line 4, a valve arrangement 5 and further lines 6, 7, 7a to spraying agents 8, 9, 9a, so that the dishes in the tub 1 are filled with process water to act upon.
  • the device has a drain pump 10 to convey process water that is no longer required from the device.
  • Other parts of the system which in Fig. 1 Not shown, but are known to the person skilled in the art, include, for example, a fresh water supply, a water softening device, etc.
  • the device has a controller 12 which controls the components of the device in accordance with program specifications which the user inputs via an input and output 13.
  • a continuous-flow heater 14 is provided in the line system, in particular in the part which serves to circulate the process water in the device. This can e.g. be arranged before or after the circulation pump 2.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the instantaneous water heater is shown in Figs. 2-4 illustrated. It forms a pipe section 15 of the line system, which has a curved section 16 and a straight section 17.
  • the pipe section laterally encloses an interior 18, which receives the process water.
  • the process water preferably first enters the curved section 16 and then flows from there into the straight section 17.
  • the instantaneous water heater has two heaters, namely a wall heater 20 and an interior heater 21.
  • the wall heater 20 is arranged in the straight section 17. It extends around the pipe section 17, ie it surrounds it so that it can heat it from all sides. In execution after Figs. 2-4 it is arranged on the wall 22 of the pipe section, specifically from the outside. It can also be integrated in the wall 22 or arranged on the wall 22 from the inside.
  • the wall heater is formed, for example, by a soldered heating element or by a thick film heater.
  • the wall heating is limited to the straight section 17 and does not extend into the curved portion 16, which simplifies the design and manufacture.
  • the wall heater 20 is arranged coaxially to the longitudinal axis 19.
  • the internal heater 21 is arranged in the interior 18 of the instantaneous water heater 14. In order to avoid local overheating and to reduce the risk of blockages (due to foreign substances or deposits), it is arranged at a distance from the wall 22 of the straight section 17, so that e.g. a free flow is still possible even if limescale deposits with a thickness of a few millimeters are formed.
  • a spacer 24 is provided in order to position the inner heater 21 in the pipe section. This has the form of one or more struts which extend from the inner heater 21 to the wall 22.
  • the spacer (24) is designed in such a way that it has a small flow resistance and, if possible, does not offer any attachment points for the connection of contaminants.
  • the inner heater 21 is arranged approximately centrally in the straight pipe section 17 and runs parallel to its longitudinal axis 19.
  • the inner heater 21 has a U-shaped heating element with two straight legs 25 which are connected to one another via a curved connecting piece 26.
  • the legs 25 are anchored in the region of the curved pipe section 16 and run parallel to the longitudinal axis 19.
  • the straight legs have a smooth surface in order to have little resistance and to be less susceptible to limescale or dirt deposits.
  • the head of the internal heater with the connecting piece 26 is located in the straight section 17.
  • the inner heater 21 is in the area of its anchoring with a curved through the wall Section 16 extending electrical feedthrough 27 connected, which ends in external contacts 28.
  • the function of the interior heater 21 and the wall heater 20 is controlled by the controller 12, i.e. the controller 12 can switch the two heaters on and off individually.
  • the controller 12 can e.g. operate the inner heater 21 and the wall heater 20 in parallel in order to achieve a particularly high heating output. However, it can also only activate the internal heating and / or the wall heating, or switch off both heating systems. A series connection of both heaters can also be used to achieve reduced heating output with simple switches.
  • the wall heater 20 preferably has a greater output than the inner heater 21, since it has a larger surface.
  • the outer heater 20 can have a power of approximately 2 kW
  • the inner heater 21 can have a power of approximately 1 kW.
  • the pipe section 15 is preferably made of metal, in particular stainless steel.
  • the instantaneous water heater shown can be modified in many different ways.
  • the interior heater 21 has in the execution Figs. 2-4 a U-shaped heating element. However, it can also be formed, for example, by a straight heating element running parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • the curved section 16 according to Figs. 2-4 describes an angle of approx. 90 °. However, the angle can also be below or above this value. Furthermore, the curved section 16 runs in a curve, which reduces the risk of blockages. in principle, however, an angular, non-rounded design is also conceivable.
  • the curved section 16 can also be dispensed with entirely. In this case, however, the interior heating must have a radial passage.
  • the use of the curved section 16 has the advantage that an elongated, easier to manufacture or even commercially available heater can be used as the interior heater 21.
  • Another advantage is that the fire protection concept for the internal heating can be made significantly simpler, since the surrounding component is made of non-combustible material.
  • This instantaneous water heater achieves a high thermal output with simple, commercially available components and with a small installation space. Proven components that are not critical with regard to calcification can be used.
  • the same instantaneous water heater can also be supplied with the wall heater 20 or only with the interior heater 21 for lower outputs. This means that this system can also be installed as an additional heater for household appliances with alternative heating (heat pumps).
  • the instantaneous water heater is basically suitable for a wide variety of household appliances, but can be used with particular advantage in dishwashers and washing machines.
