Definitions

  • the present invention relates to heat exchangers used for example in a central heating of a building and to a heating comprising such a heat exchanger.
  • the present invention relates to heat exchangers that may be implemented in so-called hybrid heatings which depending on the outer circumstances make use of different heat sources and in this context, a combined heat exchanger in which the heat of either one of the heat sources may be transferred to a working fluid.
  • a hybrid heating is for example known from EP 2 463 951 B1 .
  • This heating uses a heat pump, particularly an air heat pump as a first heat source for transfer of heat to the working fluid and a fuel (e.g. gas, oil, etc.) fired boiler as a second heat source for transfer of heat to the working fluid.
  • the electricity driven heat pump and the fuel fired boiler each have a separate heat exchanger connected to the flow circuit for flowing the working fluid to a heat emitting section for space heating.
  • WO 2010/002255 A1 One such heat exchanger which may be used for a fluid fired boiler is disclosed in WO 2010/002255 A1 .
  • This heat exchanger suggests a die cast aluminum body embedding two water (working fluid) loops. These loops are manufactured from copper tubes which are U-bent.
  • One water loop is used for space heating and, thus, connected to a space heating circuit including a heat emitting section.
  • the other loop is connected to a domestic household water circuit for heating domestic household water (tap water). Heat from the combustion gas is transferred to both of the loops.
  • the function of exchanging heat from a first heat source preferably a combustion process of hydrocarbons (methane, butane or propane gas) and of exchanging heat from a refrigerant (e.g. R32, R410H or other HFC's), particularly used in a heat pump are combined in one body.
  • a first heat source preferably a combustion process of hydrocarbons (methane, butane or propane gas) and of exchanging heat from a refrigerant (e.g. R32, R410H or other HFC's), particularly used in a heat pump are combined in one body.
  • a refrigerant e.g. R32, R410H or other HFC's
  • the invention suggests the implementation of a second chamber rather than a tubing and to, thereby, enable an increased heat exchange surface without increasing the size of the heat exchanger and providing for a sufficient heat exchange efficiency in a combined heat exchanger.
  • the present invention suggests a heat exchanger comprising the features of claim 1 as well as a heating comprising such a heat exchanger as defined in claim 11.
  • a heat exchanger comprising the features of claim 1 as well as a heating comprising such a heat exchanger as defined in claim 11.
  • Preferred embodiments of the invention may be found in the dependent claims, the following description as well as the drawings.
  • An aspect of the present invention suggests a heat exchanger comprising a first chamber and a second chamber separated by a fluid channel (or fluid path/fluid passage) to be flown through by a working fluid.
  • the working fluid is preferably water of a hydronic heating system with the purpose of heating a building.
  • the water may certainly include additives as common in the art. Yet, other working fluids are conceivable as well.
  • the first chamber and the second chamber are physically (not thermally) isolated from each other meaning that the chambers do not fluidly communicate and may be independently flown through by a fluid.
  • the first chamber is configured to be flown through by a heat transfer medium for heat transfer with the working fluid flowing through the fluid channel.
  • the heat transfer medium may preferably be combustion gas.
  • the second chamber is configured to be flown through by a refrigerant for heat transfer with the working fluid flowing through the fluid channel.
  • heat may be released to the working fluid flowing through the fluid channel by means of either the heat transfer medium, the refrigerant or both.
  • latent heat is released by phase change of the refrigerant flowing through the second chamber from vapor to liquid.
  • a refrigerant chamber (second chamber) is preferred as compared to a refrigerant loop made from tubes as one is not limited by the bending characteristics of the tube and its diameter.
  • a cost effective combined heat exchanger may be obtained without impairing the heat exchange efficiency as compared to two single heat exchangers for the heat transfer medium, on the one hand, and the refrigerant, on the other hand.
  • the temperature difference between the refrigerant and the working fluid may be not as high as the temperature difference between the heat transfer medium (particularly a combustion gas) and the working fluid.
  • the first and second fluid channel may be flown through by the working fluid in parallel or in series.
  • the heating of the transfer medium is to be achieved at least partly by the release of latent heat from the refrigerant to the working fluid
  • the working fluid can be flown through both the first and second fluid channel, thereby increasing the heat transfer surface and thereby obtaining sufficient heat transfer.
  • This idea may as well be integrated into a heat exchanger not having a second chamber but integrating a refrigerant loop as mentioned above.
  • working fluid may be flown through either both, the first and second fluid channel as previously indicated or if the heat transfer surface of the first fluid channel is sufficiently large, the working fluid may also be flown only through the first fluid channel to obtain the sufficient heat transfer from the refrigerant to the working fluid in case heat transfer is to be obtained by the refrigerant only.
  • the first and second fluid channels are formed by tubes, preferably by U-shaped bending of the tubes parallel to the heat exchange surfaces of the first and second chamber. This particularly enables preferred embedding of the first and second fluid channel into a single piece body defining the first and second chamber as described in more detail below. If the heat exchange surface of the first fluid channel is to be increased as compared to the second fluid channel, it may be preferred to decrease the diameter of the tube of the first fluid channel as compared to the second fluid channel. Thereby sharper bents of the tube may be obtained and thereby the heat exchange surface may be increased easily without the need to increase the heat exchanger as such.
  • the heat transfer surface of the first fluid channel is larger than that of the second fluid channel
  • the first chamber, the second fluid channel, the first fluid channel and the second chamber are arranged in that order. Thereby the first fluid channel closer to the second chamber has a larger heat transfer surface and sufficient heat transfer is ensured.
  • the heat exchanger for heat transfer with the working fluid or another working fluid for heating domestic hot water (tap water).
  • the heat exchanger comprises a third fluid channel between the first and second chamber and to be flown through by the or another working fluid.
  • the working fluid means the same working fluid that is also flown through the first and second fluid channel in case the domestic hot water circuit is integrated into the space heating circuit.
  • “Another working fluid” means separate circuits.
  • the other working fluid may be water as well.
  • the third fluid channel closer to the first chamber than the first fluid channel.
  • first and second fluid channel it may be conceived to dispose the third and second fluid channel so that parallel tube sections intermesh, i.e. reside substantially in a common plane. Thereby, the entire thickness of the heat exchanger may be decreased and the major portions of third fluid channel may be disposed close to the heat transfer surface of the first chamber.
  • the second chamber has fins at a wall (bottom or back wall) facing the fluid channel.
  • these fins may be integral part of the single piece body described below.
  • the second chamber is closed by a cover attached preferably to the single piece body described below and the fins define the flow path of the refrigerant within the chamber. That is, the chamber is defined by a top wall and a bottom wall as well as opposite side walls, preferably integrally formed within the preferably single piece body of the heat exchanger, the chamber being open at one side opposite to a back wall (bottom) having the fins. This open portion of the chamber is closed by the cover.
  • a flow path within the chamber may be defined by the fins. This flow path may be a maender as achieved by bending tubes, but it may also be a different flow path depending on the requirements and circumstances of heat transfer.
  • the first chamber is a combustion chamber.
  • a burner is disposed inside the combustion chamber.
  • the combustion chamber may have an accommodation space for receiving the burner.
  • the skilled person is referred to WO 2010/002255 A1 disclosing such configuration.
  • the heat exchanger comprises a single piece body defining the first and second chamber and embedding the fluid channel (the first and/or second) and/or the third fluid channel (if present).
  • the single piece body is made from die cast or sand cast aluminum, preferably die cast in a high pressure casting process.
  • the tubes of the first to third fluid channel are preferably made from copper or stainless steel and are embedded within the single piece body during the casting process as inserts. This configuration enables ease of manufacture and, therefore, production of a less expensive heat exchanger.
  • the fins of the second chamber are part of the single piece body and, therefore, obtained in the casting process as well.
  • the body may further have a frame-like shape with two open sides of the first and second chamber, which are both closed by a respective cover as previously mentioned.
  • the present invention also suggests a heating comprising such a heat exchanger.
  • the heating further comprises a space heating circuit for space heating and a heat pump comprising a refrigerant circuit.
  • the space heating circuit may include a heat emitting section, that is radiators, floor heating loops or the like to transmit heat from the working fluid to the space requiring heating.
  • the space heating circuit is connected to the fluid channel (the first and second fluid channel if both present).
  • the heat pump of the heating may be any kind of heat pump such as an air heat pump, a geothermal heat pump or the like.
  • the heat pump comprises a refrigerant circuit, preferably comprising a compressor an expansion means, a heat exchanger for heat exchange with the heat source, that is air, geothermal energy, etc. and evaporation of the refrigerant.
  • This refrigerant circuit is connected to the second chamber for heat transfer from the refrigerant to the working fluid and, thereby, condensation of the refrigerant within the second chamber.
  • first and second fluid channel it is preferred to connect this first and second fluid channel to the space heating circuit and to control the heating as a hybrid heating having a hybrid mode operating both the heat pump and the burner and flow working fluid through the first and second fluid channel.

  • the heat exchanger is preferably included in a hybrid heating using a fuel fired boiler as one heat source and heat pump, preferably an air heat pump as a second heat source.
  • the heating is capable of operating in a hybrid mode, a boiler only mode and a heat pump only mode if space heating is required. Similar may also apply if domestic hot water is required even though a domestic hot water demand is generally satisfied by the fuel fired heat source.
  • EP 2 462 591 B1 incorporated in its entirety by reference.
  • the heating may be operated in a hybrid mode.
  • both the boiler that is the burner and the heat pump are operated so that heat exchange is possible from both heat sources to the working fluid (water).
  • water is flown through the first and second loop 24 and 25 and heat is transferred from the combustion gas within the combustion chamber 13 and from the refrigerant within the refrigerant chamber 20 to the water flowing in the water loops 24 and 25, whereby the water is heated to the required flow temperature and then distributed to the heat emitting sections of the space heating circuit for satisfying the respective demand.
  • the space heating is operated in the heat pump only mode, it is preferred to flow the water through the first and second water loop 24 and 25 as well to have an increased heat exchange surface and enable efficient heat transfer from the refrigerant within the refrigerant chamber 20 to the water in the loops 24 and 25 and thereby heat the water to the required flow temperature of the space heating.
  • the heating is operated in the boiler only mode, heat is only transferred from the combustion gas in the combustion chamber 13 to the water flowing in the loop first water 24. In this instance, no water is flowing through the second water loop 25 as the heat exchanger surface of the first water loop 24 is sufficient in view of the heat that may be transferred from the combustion chamber, i.e. the combustion gas.
  • water is (also) flown through the third water loop 26 and thereby, depending on the mode in which the heating is actually operated, heated by either the combustion gas in the combustion chamber 13 and/or the refrigerant within the refrigerant chamber 20. If such demand exists and the heat provided by the heat pump, i.e. the refrigerant is not sufficient to satisfy the domestic hot water demand and the demand of space heating, it is conceivable to additionally operate the burner to increase the capacity and satisfy both demands. Alternatively, it may also be conceivable to stop water flowing through the first and second water loops 24 and 25 in order to sufficiently heat the water in the third water loop 26 and satisfy the domestic hot water demand. This, however, may lead to a little discomfort in space heating as this demand may thus not be satisfied for a period of time.
  • the heat exchanger of the present invention enables to combine heat exchangers generally used separately for different heat sources in one heat exchanger. To ensure sufficient heat transfer efficiency, this is achieved by configuring a refrigerant chamber opposite to another heat source (combustion) chamber. In addition, it is very efficient to produce (preferably in a die casting process) the heat exchanger with the two chambers from the single piece body embedding the water loops inbetween the two chambers. Thereby, a heat exchanger with a small number of parts and a simple manufacturing process may be obtained. At the same time, the heat transmission from the refrigerant to the water within the loops can be enhanced because of the close contact of the materials.
