Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Modul für ein Heizungssystem und/oder ein Warmwasserversorgungssystem eines Gebäudes gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Heizungssystems und/oder Warmwasserversorgungssystems eines Gebäudes gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 6. Solch ein Modul bzw. solch ein Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus FR 3 049 675 A1 bekannt.The invention relates to a module for a heating system and/or a hot water supply system of a building according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing a heating system and/or hot water supply system of a building according to the preamble of claim 6. Such a module or such a method is example off FR 3 049 675 A1 known.

Nach dem Stand der Technik wird bei der Herstellung von Heizungs- und/oder Warmwasserversorgungssystemen ein großer Teil der Arbeiten vor Ort im Gebäude durchgeführt. Hierbei werden die einzelnen Komponenten des Systems, die in der Regel industriell von unterschiedlichen Herstellern gefertigt und vom ausführenden Handwerksunternehmen beschafft werden, vor Ort installiert und über Rohrleitungen miteinander verbunden.According to the state of the art, in the manufacture of heating and/or hot water supply systems, a large part of the work is carried out on site in the building. The individual components of the system, which are usually manufactured industrially by different manufacturers and procured by the executing trade company, are installed on site and connected to one another via pipes.

Der fachgerechte Einbau der einzelnen Komponenten vor Ort erfordert dabei ein hohes Maß an Fachkenntnis. Die Arbeiten hierbei sind vergleichsweise zeitaufwendig und müssen von gut ausgebildetem Personal durchgeführt werden, welches unter Umständen hohe Anfahrtswege in Kauf nehmen muss.The professional installation of the individual components on site requires a high degree of specialist knowledge. The work here is comparatively time-consuming and must be carried out by well-trained personnel, who may have to accept long journeys.

Diese Situation wird dadurch verschärft, dass moderne Systeme der in Rede stehenden Art zunehmend komplexer werden. Dies liegt unter anderem auch daran, dass immer höhere Anforderungen an die Effizienz derartiger Systeme, beispielsweise unter energetischen Gesichtspunkten, gestellt werden. Hinzu kommt, dass Systeme der in Rede stehenden Art für die jeweiligen Gebäude individuell geplant werden.This situation is exacerbated by the fact that modern systems of the type in question are becoming increasingly complex. One of the reasons for this is that ever increasing demands are being placed on the efficiency of such systems, for example from an energy perspective. In addition, systems of the type in question are planned individually for the respective building.

Der Einbau solcher Systeme setzt daher nicht nur hohe allgemeine Fachkenntnisse, sondern vielmehr auch die genauen Kenntnisse der individuellen Gegebenheiten des jeweiligen Systems voraus. Die ausführenden Betriebe können daher ihren Personaleinsatz weniger flexibel planen, als im Fall von Tätigkeiten, bei denen die fachkundige Person vor Ort problemlos durch eine andere entsprechend qualifizierte Kraft ersetzt werden kann.The installation of such systems therefore not only requires a high level of general specialist knowledge, but also precise knowledge of the individual circumstances of the respective system. The executing companies can therefore plan their personnel deployment less flexibly than in the case of activities in which the expert on site can easily be replaced by another suitably qualified person.

Der Fachkräftemangel und die grundsätzlichen Schwierigkeiten des Handwerks, qualifizierten Nachwuchs zu finden, haben die vorstehend geschilderte Problematik weiter verschärft.The shortage of skilled workers and the fundamental difficulties in finding qualified young people in the skilled trades have further exacerbated the problems described above.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, bestehende Systeme und Verfahren zum Herstellen solcher Systeme der in Rede stehenden Art derart zu verbessern, dass die vorstehend geschilderten Probleme nicht oder zumindest in geringerem Umfang als nach dem Stand der Technik auftreten.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving existing systems and methods for producing such systems of the type in question in such a way that the problems described above do not occur, or at least to a lesser extent than in the prior art.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Modul für ein Heizung- und/oder Warmwasserversorgungssystem und ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Heizung- und/oder Warmwasserversorgungssystems mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Ansprüche. Die Merkmale der abhängigen Ansprüche betreffen vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen.The object is achieved by a module for a heating and/or hot water supply system and a method for producing a heating and/or hot water supply system with the features of the independent claims. The features of the dependent claims relate to advantageous embodiments.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch ein Modul gelöst, das wenigstens eine Komponente des Systems aufweist. Das Modul weist ein Trägerelement auf. Auf dem Trägerelement ist die Komponente sowie Rohrleitungen zum Verbinden der Komponente angeordnet. Das Modul ist dabei derart gestaltet, dass die Komponente und/oder die Rohrleitungen jeweils an einer Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Positionen an dem Trägerelement angeordnet werden können. Hierbei ist insbesondere das Trägerelement so gestaltet, dass eine Anordnung der Komponente und/oder Rohrleitungen jeweils an eine Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Positionen an dem Trägerelement möglich ist.According to the invention, the object is achieved by a module that has at least one component of the system. The module has a carrier element. The component and pipelines for connecting the component are arranged on the carrier element. The module is designed in such a way that the component and/or the pipelines can each be arranged at a plurality of different positions on the carrier element. In this case, in particular, the carrier element is designed in such a way that an arrangement of the component and/or pipelines is possible in each case at a plurality of different positions on the carrier element.

Ein derartiges erfindungsgemäßes Modul erleichtert wesentlich den Einbau und die Verrohrung der Komponente. Es besteht nämlich die Möglichkeit, die Komponente sowie die zugehörige Verrohrung an einem beliebigen Ort, z.B. einer Werkstatt, an das Modul anzubringen. Das Modul kann dann als Ganzes an seinem Bestimmungsort in dem Gebäude transportiert und dort installiert werden.Such a module according to the invention significantly simplifies the installation and the piping of the component. It is possible to attach the component and the associated piping to the module at any location, e.g. in a workshop. The module can then be transported as a whole to its destination in the building and installed there.

Bevorzugt weist das Modul eine Mehrzahl Komponenten auf. Diese können untereinander mit Rohrleitungen verbunden sein. Je mehr Komponenten des Systems Bestandteil des Moduls sind, umso größer ist der Nutzen der Verwendung erfindungsgemäßer Module.The module preferably has a plurality of components. These can be connected to each other with pipelines. The more components of the system are part of the module, the greater the benefit of using modules according to the invention.

Ein derartiges Modul ermöglicht zudem die Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens. Dies sieht vor, dass das Modul an einem von dem Gebäude, in dem das System zu installieren ist, entfernten Ort vorgefertigt wird. Bei diesem Ort kann es sich vorzugsweise um die Werkstatt des ausführenden Handwerksbetriebes handeln. Die Komponente(n) und/oder Rohrleitungen werden an dem Trägerelement angeordnet und befestigt, während das Modul vorgefertigt wird. Das Modul wird dann an seine bestimmungsgemäße Position im Gebäude transportiert und dort aufgestellt und/oder in das Gebäude eingebaut. Im Gebäude wird das Modul mit weiteren Bestandteilen des Heizung- und/oder Warmwasserversorgungssystems verbunden.Such a module also enables the method according to the invention to be carried out. This provides for the module to be prefabricated at a location remote from the building where the system is to be installed. This location can preferably be the workshop of the executing craft business. The component(s) and/or piping are placed and attached to the support member while the module is being prefabricated. The module is then transported to its intended position in the building and set up there and/or built into the building. In the building, the module is connected to other components of the heating and/or hot water supply system.

Im Rahmen der Vorfertigung des Moduls kann in vorteilhafter Weise auch die thermische Isolierung von Komponenten und Rohrleitungen erfolgen.In the context of the prefabrication of the module, the thermal insulation of components and pipelines can also be carried out in an advantageous manner.

Wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist es, dass viele der Arbeiten, die nach dem Stand der Technik im Gebäude vor Ort durchgeführt werden müssen, an einen von dem Gebäude entfernten Ort verlagert werden können. Bei diesem Ort handelt es sich beispielsweise um die Werkstatt eines Handwerksbetriebes. Die Arbeiten, die bei der Vorfertigung eines Moduls anfallen, können so ohne Anfahrtswege erledigt werden. Die hierfür benötigten qualifizierten Kräfte stehen damit längere Zeit zur Erfüllung ihrer eigentlichen Aufgaben zur Verfügung.An essential advantage of the method according to the invention is that many of the works that have to be carried out on site in the building according to the prior art can be relocated to a location remote from the building. This place is, for example, the workshop of a craft business. The work that occurs during the prefabrication of a module can thus be completed without having to travel to the site. the The qualified staff required for this are therefore available for a longer period of time to fulfill their actual tasks.

Vorteilhaft ist auch, dass an einem einzigen Ort eine Mehrzahl Module parallel und/oder hintereinander vorgefertigt werden kann, die für unterschiedliche Systeme in unterschiedlichen Gebäuden bestimmt sind. Häufig benötigte Materialien können in einfacher Weise an dem Ort der Vorfertigung bereitgehalten werden und müssen nicht extra zum Bestimmungsort des Systems gebracht werden. Auch kann in einfacher Weise auf den gesamten Werkzeugbestand eines Handwerksbetriebs zurückgegriffen werden. Nach dem Stand der Technik müssen diese Werkzeuge auf die Baustelle transportiert werden. Hierbei besteht immer das Risiko, dass nicht benötigte Werkzeuge unnötigerweise transportiert und verladen werden, was Arbeitsaufwand und Kosten verursacht. Ebenso ist es möglich, dass ein benötigtes Werkzeug vor Ort nicht zur Verfügung steht, beispielsweise, weil es vergessen wurde oder aufgrund eines Defekts ausfällt. In derartigen Fällen entstehen Arbeitsverzögerungen auf der Baustelle während der Beschaffung geeigneten Ersatzes, die ebenfalls mit einem entsprechenden Mehraufwand an Kosten verbunden sind.It is also advantageous that a plurality of modules intended for different systems in different buildings can be prefabricated in parallel and/or one behind the other at a single location. Frequently required materials can easily be kept ready at the prefabrication site and do not have to be brought to the system's destination. The entire tool inventory of a craft business can also be accessed in a simple manner. According to the state of the art, these tools have to be transported to the construction site. There is always the risk that tools that are not required are transported and loaded unnecessarily, which causes work and costs. It is also possible that a required tool is not available on site, for example because it was forgotten or is down due to a defect. In such cases, work delays arise on the construction site during the procurement of suitable replacements, which are also associated with a corresponding increase in costs.

Darüber hinaus bietet die vorliegende Erfindung einen Vorteil im Hinblick auf die Umweltverträglichkeit. Die Verpackungsmaterialien, in denen die einzelnen Komponenten vom Hersteller bezogen werden, können vor Ort - also auf der Baustelle - meist nicht optimal entsorgt werden. Es ist entweder notwendig, die Verpackungen zurück in den Betrieb zu transportieren - was wiederum mit Aufwand verbunden ist - oder sie vor Ort in einer zweckmäßigen, aber im Hinblick auf Umweltaspekte nicht optimalen Art und Weise, zu entsorgen. Nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren fallen diese Verpackungen hingegen am Ort der Vorfertigung des Moduls an, wo sie in einfacher Weise einer sachgerechten Entsorgung zugeführt werden können.In addition, the present invention offers an advantage in terms of environmental compatibility. The packaging materials in which the individual components are obtained from the manufacturer cannot usually be disposed of optimally on site - i.e. on the construction site. It is either necessary to transport the packaging back to the company - which in turn involves a lot of work - or to dispose of it on site in a suitable but less than optimal way from an environmental point of view. In contrast, according to the method according to the invention, this packaging accumulates at the site of prefabrication of the module, where it can be disposed of properly in a simple manner.

Die Module selbst können in Wiederverwendbaren Verpackungen zu ihrem Bestimmungort im Gebäude gebracht werden. Bei den Verpackungen kann es sich beispielsweise um Transportboxen handeln. Diese können mit Handhabungshilfen, wie z.B. Tragegriffen, ausgestattet sein. Vorteilhafterweise werden die wenigstens eine Komponente und/oder die Rohrleitungen in Abhängigkeit von den weiteren Bestandteilen des Heizungssystems und/oder der räumlichen Situation im Gebäude ausgewählt und/oder auf dem Trägerelement angeordnet. Auf diese Weise können individuelle Lösungen für das jeweilige System erarbeitet werden. Insbesondere ist es möglich, anhand der Gegebenheiten im Gebäude die Position der Anschlusspunkte zur Verbindung des Moduls mit weiteren Bestandteilen des Systems an dem Modul in zweckmäßiger Weise festzulegen.The modules themselves can be brought to their destination in the building in reusable packaging. With the packaging they are, for example, transport boxes. These can be equipped with handling aids such as carrying handles. The at least one component and/or the pipelines are advantageously selected and/or arranged on the carrier element depending on the other components of the heating system and/or the spatial situation in the building. In this way, individual solutions can be developed for the respective system. In particular, it is possible to use the conditions in the building to determine the position of the connection points for connecting the module to other components of the system on the module in an expedient manner.

Erfindungsgemäß wird zunächst die Einbausituation im Gebäude erfasst wird und dann in Abhängigkeit dieser Einbausituation die räumliche Anordnung der Komponente(n) und/oder Rohrleitungen bei der Vorfertigung des Moduls festgelegt wird.According to the invention, the installation situation in the building is first recorded and then, depending on this installation situation, the spatial arrangement of the component(s) and/or pipelines is determined during the prefabrication of the module.

Es versteht sich, dass es auch möglich ist eine Mehrzahl Module vorzufertigen und im Gebäude miteinander und/oder den weiteren Bestandteilen des Heizungssystems zu verbinden. Dies kann beispielsweise dann sinnvoll sein, wenn eine Vielzahl Komponenten eines Systems in einem vorgefertigten Modul verbaut werden soll. Das Modul, insbesondere das Trägerelement, muss dann eine gewisse Größe aufweisen. Eine Mehrzahl kleinerer Module lässt sich hingegen einfacher handhaben, was beispielsweise beim Transport der Module durch das Gebäude zu deren Bestimmungsort zu einer Vereinfachung beiträgt.It goes without saying that it is also possible to prefabricate a number of modules and to connect them to one another in the building and/or to the other components of the heating system. This can be useful, for example, if a large number of components of a system are to be installed in a prefabricated module. The module, in particular the carrier element, must then have a certain size. A plurality of smaller modules, on the other hand, can be handled more easily, which contributes to simplification, for example, when transporting the modules through the building to their destination.

Bei den weiteren Bestandteilen des Heizungssystems handelt es sich vorzugsweise um ein Wärmeerzeugernetz und/oder ein Wärmeverbrauchernetz. Es kann sich auch um einzelne Bestandteile eines Wärmeerzeugernetzes und/oder eines Wärmeverbrauchernetzes handeln.The other components of the heating system are preferably a heat generator network and/or a heat consumer network. It can also be individual components of a heat generator network and/or a heat consumer network.

Bei dem Wärmeverbrauchernetz kann es sich um ein Heizwärmeverbraucher Netz, ein Sicherheits- und/oder Abwasserleitungsnetz, ein Wärme- und Pufferspeichernetz und/oder ein Trink- und/oder Brauchwassernetz handeln.The heat consumer network can be a heating consumer network, a safety and/or sewage pipe network, a heat and buffer storage network and/or a drinking water and/or service water network.

Bei dem Wärmeerzeugernetz kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Fernwärmeheiznetz handeln.The heat generator network can be a district heating network, for example.

Bei dem Bestandteil eines Wärmeerzeugernetzes kann es sich um einen Wärme- und/oder Pufferspeicher, ein Speicherladesystem und/oder eine Frischwasserstation handeln.The component of a heat generator network can be a heat and/or buffer storage tank, a storage loading system and/or a fresh water station.

Bei dem Bestandteil eines Wärmeerzeugernetzes kann es sich um einen Wärmeerzeuger, insbesondere mit Feuerungstechnik, ein Blockheizkraftwerk, eine Wärmepumpe, eine Solaranlage und/oder eine Wärmerückgewinnungsanlage handeln.The component of a heat generator network can be a heat generator, in particular with combustion technology, a combined heat and power plant, a heat pump, a solar system and/or a heat recovery system.

In der Praxis ist es häufig so, dass diese Bestandteile bereits vorhanden sind. So kann beispielsweise beim Einbau eines neuen Heizung- und/oder Warmwasserversorgungssystems in ein Gebäude ein Leitungsnetz zur Versorgung der einzelnen Heizkörper bereits vorhanden sein, dass weiter genutzt werden soll. Derartige Szenarien sind insbesondere aufgrund der derzeit steigenden Anforderungen an die Energieeffizienz von Gebäudeheizungen in bestehenden Gebäuden häufig. Veraltete Heizung- und/oder Warmwasserversorgungssysteme werden durch modernere Systeme ersetzt, ohne dass das bestehende Leitungsnetz im Gebäude ausgetauscht werden soll, insbesondere um die damit entstehenden massiven Eingriffe in die Bausubstanz und die daraus resultierenden Kosten zu vermeiden. In diesem Fall kann das Modul in einfacher Weise mit dem bestehenden Netz verbunden werden. Das erfindungsgemäße Modul bildet dann bevorzugt die Schnittstelle zwischen dem Wärmeerzeugernetz und dem Wärmeverbrauchernetz.In practice, it is often the case that these components are already present. For example, when a new heating and/or hot water supply system is installed in a building, a network of lines for supplying the individual radiators can already be in place and should continue to be used. Such scenarios are particularly common due to the currently increasing demands on the energy efficiency of building heating systems in existing buildings. Outdated heating and/or hot water supply systems are replaced by more modern systems without the need to replace the existing pipe network in the building, in particular in order to avoid the resulting massive interventions in the building fabric and the resulting costs. In this case, the module can easily be connected to the existing network. The module according to the invention then preferably forms the interface between the heat generator network and the heat consumer network.

Auch sind Bestandteile eines Wärmeerzeugernetzes oftmals aufgrund ihrer schieren Größe nicht in sinnvoller Weise als Bestandteil eines vorgefertigten Moduls zu verwenden, sondern werden zweckmäßigerweise auf herkömmliche Art einzelnen aufgestellt. Dies gilt beispielsweise für Blockheizkraftwerke, Wärmeerzeuger mit Feuerungstechnik und/oder Wärmepumpen. In einem solche Fall ist es vorteilhaft, diese - vergleichsweise großen - Bestandteile des Systems einzeln im Gebäude aufzustellen und/oder einzubauen, während kleinere Komponenten des Systems als Bestandteil eines erfindungsgemäßen Moduls verbaut werden.Due to their sheer size, components of a heat generator network are often not to be used in a sensible way as part of a prefabricated module, but are expediently set up individually in the conventional way. This applies, for example, to combined heat and power plants, heat generators with combustion technology and/or heat pumps. In such a case, it is advantageous to set up and/or install these—comparatively large—components of the system individually in the building, while smaller components of the system are installed as part of a module according to the invention.

Bei einer Komponente, die Bestandteil des Moduls ist, kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Mischeinrichtung, eine Sicherheitseinrichtung, eine Druckausgleichseinrichtung, eine Verteilereinrichtung, eine Spüleinrichtung, eine Regeleinrichtung, eine Pumpe, eine Messeinrichtung, eine Abscheideeinrichtung, eine Entlüftungseinrichtung, eine Einspeiseeinrichtung, einen Wärmetauscher und/oder ein Absperrorgan handeln.A component that is part of the module can be, for example, a mixing device, a safety device, a pressure compensation device, a distribution device, a flushing device, a control device, a pump, a measuring device, a separating device, a ventilation device, a feed device, a heat exchanger and/or act as a shut-off device.

Es versteht sich hierbei, dass das Modul auch eine Mehrzahl derartiger Komponenten aufweisen kann. Komponenten dieser Art sind aufgrund ihrer Größe besonders dafür geeignet, gemeinsam mit ihrer Verrohrung in einem entsprechenden Modul verbaut zu werden. Im besten Fall kann so der zeitraubende Einbau einer Vielzahl verhältnismäßig kleiner Komponenten vor Ort auf der Baustelle entfallen.It goes without saying here that the module can also have a plurality of such components. Due to their size, components of this type are particularly suitable for being installed together with their piping in a corresponding module. In the best case, the time-consuming installation of a large number of relatively small components on site can be avoided.

Weitere Komponenten, die in besonders vorteilhafter Weise auf dem Trägerelement eines erfindungsgemäßen Moduls angeordnet werden können, sind beispielsweise ein Wärmetauscher, vorzugsweise mit seinen Anschlusseinrichtungen, eine hydraulische Weiche, vorzugsweise mit ihren Anschlusseinrichtungen, ein Abscheider, beispielsweise ein Magnetitdynamischer Abscheider, eine Wärmekreis Anschlussgruppe, insbesondere mit Festwertregler, Mischer und/oder Stellantrieb, ein Verteilerbalken für Wärmekreisanschlussgruppen Wärmenetzpumpen, insbesondere Hocheffizienz-Wärmenetzpumpen, vorzugsweise mit ihren Anschlusseinrichtungen, Solarkreispumpen, insbesondere Hocheffizienz-Solarkreispumpen, vorzugsweise mit ihren Anschlusseinrichtungen, Brauchwasserzirkulationspumpen, insbesondere mit ihren Anschlusseinrichtungen, Rückschlagklappen, insbesondere thermische Rückschlagklappen, vorzugsweise mit ihren Anschlusseinrichtungen, Energiemengenzähler, insbesondere mit ihren Anschlusseinrichtungen, Mengen- und/oder Differenzdruckregler, Druckmess- und/oder Anzeigeeinrichtungen, Temperaturmess- und/oder Anzeigeeinrichtungen, Schmutz- , Schlamm- und/oder Luftabscheider, Füll- , Entleerungs-,Spül- und Entlüftungseinrichtungen, eine Armaturenbaugruppe, vorzugsweise mit Sicherheitseinrichtungen, eine Nachspeiseeinrichtung für Heizungsfüllwasser, Sicherheit- und/oder Abwasserableitungseinrichtungen, Regelungsmodul- und/oder Funktionserweiterungseinrichtungen, Betriebsanleitungen, Funktions- und/oder Hinweisschilder.Other components that can be arranged in a particularly advantageous manner on the carrier element of a module according to the invention are, for example, a heat exchanger, preferably with its connection devices, a hydraulic switch, preferably with its connection devices, a separator, for example a dynamic magnetite separator, a heating circuit connection group, in particular with fixed-value controller, mixer and/or actuator, a distributor bar for heat circuit connection groups, heat network pumps, in particular high-efficiency heat network pumps, preferably with their connection devices, Solar circuit pumps, in particular high-efficiency solar circuit pumps, preferably with their connection devices, process water circulation pumps, in particular with their connection devices, non-return valves, in particular thermal non-return valves, preferably with their connection devices, energy meters, in particular with their connection devices, quantity and/or differential pressure controllers, pressure measurement and/or display devices , temperature measuring and/or display devices, dirt, sludge and/or air separators, filling, draining, rinsing and ventilation devices, a fitting assembly, preferably with safety devices, a make-up device for heating fill water, safety and/or waste water discharge devices, control module and/or function expansion devices, operating instructions, function and/or information signs.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass elektrische Installationseinrichtungen ebenfalls in vorteilhafter Weise auf dem Trägerelement angeordnet werden können. Damit kann die gegebenenfalls notwendige elektrische Verschaltung der Komponenten untereinander ebenfalls im Rahmen der Vorfertigung des Moduls erfolgen. Elektrische Kabel können dabei auf dem Trägerelement sachgerecht verlegt werden, wobei das Modul vorzugsweise mit geeigneten elektrischen Anschlusseinrichtungen zur Verbindung des Moduls mit weiteren Bestandteilen des Heizungssystems, wie beispielsweise Sensoren, wie Temperaturfühler o. ä., und/oder zur Verbindung des Moduls mit einer Spannungsversorgung, beispielsweise mit einer üblichen 230 V Netzspannungsversorgung, versehen wird.A further advantage is that electrical installation devices can also be advantageously arranged on the carrier element. This means that any necessary electrical interconnection of the components with one another can also be carried out as part of the prefabrication of the module. Electrical cables can be laid correctly on the carrier element, with the module preferably having suitable electrical connection devices for connecting the module to other components of the heating system, such as sensors, such as temperature sensors or the like, and/or for connecting the module to a power supply , For example, is provided with a standard 230 V mains voltage supply.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Trägerelement eine Vielzahl Befestigungspunkte zum Befestigen der Komponente und/oder der Rohrleitungen auf.According to the invention, the carrier element has a large number of attachment points for attaching the component and/or the pipelines.

Eine solche Vielzahl Befestigungspunkte ermöglicht es, die räumliche Anordnung von Komponente(n) und Rohrleitungen auf dem Trägerelement flexibel zu variieren. Auf diese Weise kann der zur Verfügung stehende Platz auf dem Trägerelement optimal ausgenutzt werden. Weiterhin können Rohrleitungen in sinnvoller Weise, beispielsweise mit möglichst kurzen Verbindungswegen, auf dem Modul angeordnet werden. Auch können Anschlüsse der Rohrleitungen, die mit weiteren Bestandteilen des Heizung- und/oder Warmwasserversorgungssystems verbunden werden sollen, an Positionen auf dem Modul vorgesehen werden, die so gewählt sind, dass die Anschlüsse sich nach dem Einbau und/oder der Aufstellung des Moduls im Gebäude in räumlicher Nähe zu den entsprechenden bestehenden Anschlüssen der weiteren Bestandteile des Heizung- und/oder Warmwasserversorgungssystems befinden.Such a large number of fastening points makes it possible to flexibly vary the spatial arrangement of component(s) and pipelines on the carrier element. In this way, the space available on the carrier element can be optimally utilized. Furthermore, pipelines in a meaningful way, for example with the shortest possible Connection paths to be placed on the module. Connections to the pipelines that are to be connected to other components of the heating and/or hot water supply system can also be provided at positions on the module that are chosen so that the connections can be changed after the module has been installed and/or set up in the building located in close proximity to the corresponding existing connections of the other components of the heating and/or hot water supply system.

Bei den Befestigungspunkten kann es sich beispielsweise um einfache Elemente, wie Löcher, zum Beispiel Bohrungen, handeln. In diese können dann Befestigungselemente, wie beispielsweise Schrauben, eingesetzt werden. Die Befestigungspunkte sind erfindungsgemäß in einem regelmäßigen Raster über das Trägerelement verteilt. Dies erleichtert die Planung des jeweiligen Moduls.The attachment points can be, for example, simple elements such as holes, for example bores. Fastening elements, such as screws, can then be used in these. According to the invention, the fastening points are distributed in a regular grid over the carrier element. This simplifies the planning of the respective module.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Modul ein flächiges Element als Trägerelement zur Bereitstellung der Befestigungspunkte auf. Bei dem flächigen Element kann es sich insbesondere um ein Lochblech handeln. Ebenfalls kann es sich um Gitter, vorzugsweise aus Metall, besonders bevorzugt aus, insbesondere verzinktem, Stahl, handeln. Alternativ sind aber auch beispielsweise Platten aus Holz und/oder Holzersatzwerkstoffen, wie Laminat oder Kunststoff, denkbar. Derartige Platten stellen geeignete Befestigungspunkte bereits aufgrund ihrer Eigenbeschaffenheit bereit, da Befestigungselemente, wie beispielsweise Schrauben, an jedem beliebigen Punkt einer solchen Platte eingeschraubt werden können.According to the invention, the module has a flat element as a carrier element for providing the attachment points. The flat element can in particular be a perforated plate. It can also be a grid, preferably made of metal, particularly preferably made of steel, in particular galvanized steel. Alternatively, for example, boards made of wood and/or wood substitute materials such as laminate or plastic are also conceivable. Plates of this type already provide suitable fastening points due to their inherent properties, since fastening elements, such as screws, can be screwed in at any desired point on such a plate.

Das flächige Element kann blank, grundiert, lackiert und/oder feuerverzinkt sein.The flat element can be bare, primed, painted and/or hot-dip galvanized.

Bevorzugt weist das Modul wenigstens Verstärkungselement zur mechanischen Verstärkung des flächigen Elements und/oder zur Befestigung des Moduls im Gebäude und/oder an anderen Modulen auf. Bei den Verstärkungselementen kann es sich beispielsweise um Profile handeln. Die Verstärkungselemente können insbesondere aus Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung sein. Derartige Profile, bei denen es sich um Strangpressprofile handeln kann, sind im Handel erhältlich. Sie lassen sich mit geeigneten Verbindungselementen leicht untereinander und/oder mit dem flächigen Element verbinden. Ebenfalls ist es leicht möglich, Befestigungselemente zur Befestigung des Moduls im Gebäude mit den Profilen zu verbinden. Bei der Vorfertigung des Moduls können die Profile leicht auf die jeweils gewünschte Länge geschnitten werden bzw. auf entsprechende Längen zugeschnitten bezogen werden. Die Profile können, beispielsweise rahmenartig, im Bereich der Kanten des Trägerelements an diesem angeordnet werden. Alternativ und/oder ergänzend können weitere Profile über die Fläche des flächigen Elements verteilt angeordnet und bevorzugt mit im Bereich der Kanten des Trägerelements angeordneten Profilen verbunden werden. Die so entstehende, beispielsweise nach Art eines Leiterrahmens gestaltete Konstruktion verleiht dem Trägerelement und damit dem gesamten Modul die notwendige Stabilität.The module preferably has at least one reinforcement element for mechanical reinforcement of the planar element and/or for fastening the module in the building and/or to other modules. At the reinforcement elements it can be, for example, profiles. The reinforcement elements can in particular be made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Such profiles, which can be extruded profiles, are commercially available. They can easily be connected to one another and/or to the flat element using suitable connecting elements. It is also easily possible to connect fastening elements to the profiles for fastening the module in the building. When prefabricating the module, the profiles can easily be cut to the desired length or obtained cut to the appropriate length. The profiles can be arranged on the carrier element in the region of the edges of the carrier element, for example in the manner of a frame. Alternatively and/or additionally, further profiles can be distributed over the surface of the flat element and preferably connected to profiles arranged in the area of the edges of the carrier element. The resulting construction, which is designed in the manner of a ladder frame, for example, gives the carrier element and thus the entire module the necessary stability.

Das beispielhafte erfindungsgemäße Modul 1 weist auf seiner Vorderseite ein flächiges Trägerelement 2 auf. Auf dem Trägerelement 2 können Komponenten 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 sowie Rohrleitungen 12 zum Verbinden der Komponenten 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 angeordnet werden. Es ist möglich, die Komponenten7, 8, 9, 10, 11 und/oder Rohrleitungen 12 jeweils an einer Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Positionen an dem Trägerelement 2 anzuordnen.The exemplary module 1 according to the invention has a flat carrier element 2 on its front side. Components 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and pipelines 12 for connecting the components 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 can be arranged on the carrier element 2. It is possible to arrange the components 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and/or pipelines 12 in a plurality of different positions on the carrier element 2.

Die Möglichkeiten, Komponenten 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 und/oder Rohrleitungen 12 an unterschiedlichen Positionen des Trägerelements 2 anzuordnen, wird im gezeigten Beispiel durch eine Vielzahl Befestigungspunkte 3 ermöglicht. Die Befestigungspunkte 3 sind im gezeigten Beispiel als Löcher im Trägerelement 2 realisiert. Das Trägerelement 2 ist im gezeigten Beispiel ein Lochblech, welches vorteilhafterweise eine vor Korrosion schützende Oberflächenbeschichtung aufweisen kann. Bei dieser kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Verzinkung Handeln.The possibility of arranging components 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and/or pipelines 12 at different positions of the carrier element 2 is made possible by a large number of attachment points 3 in the example shown. In the example shown, the fastening points 3 are implemented as holes in the carrier element 2 . In the example shown, the carrier element 2 is a perforated metal sheet, which can advantageously have a surface coating that protects against corrosion. This can be, for example, a galvanizing act.

Um dem erfindungsgemäßen Modul 1 die notwendige Stabilität zu verleihen, weist das erfindungsgemäße Modul 1 Verstärkungselemente 4 auf. Diese können, wie im gezeigten Beispiel, aus Profilen bestehen. Die Verstärkungselemente 4 können aus Aluminium und/oder eine Aluminiumlegierung sein.In order to give the module 1 according to the invention the necessary stability, the module 1 according to the invention has reinforcement elements 4 . As in the example shown, these can consist of profiles. The reinforcement elements 4 can be made of aluminum and/or an aluminum alloy.

In Fig. 2 ist zu erkennen, dass ein Teil der Verstärkungselemente 4 rahmenförmig im Bereich der Ränder des Moduls 1 bzw. des Trägerelements 2 angeordnet ist. Das Trägerelement 2 kann in vorteilhafter Weise mittels einiger seiner Befestigungspunkte 3 mit den Verstärkungselementen 4 verbunden sein. Im gezeigten Beispiel befindet sich ein weiteres Verstärkungselement 4 in der Mitte des Moduls 1, wo es sich zwischen den rahmenförmig angeordneten Verstärkungselementen 4 über die Fläche des Trägerelements 2 erstreckt. Die einzelnen Verstärkungselemente 4 sind über Verbindungselemente 5 in vorteilhafter Weise miteinander verbunden, sodass sich eine nach Art eines Leiterrahmens ausgebildete Struktur aus den Verstärkungselementen 4 ergibt.In 2 it can be seen that part of the reinforcement elements 4 is arranged in the form of a frame in the region of the edges of the module 1 or of the carrier element 2 . The carrier element 2 can advantageously be connected to the reinforcement elements 4 by means of some of its attachment points 3 . In the example shown, there is a further reinforcement element 4 in the middle of the module 1, where it extends over the surface of the carrier element 2 between the reinforcement elements 4 arranged in the shape of a frame. The individual reinforcement elements 4 are advantageously connected to one another via connecting elements 5, so that a structure formed in the manner of a leadframe from the reinforcing elements 4 results.

Das im Beispiel gezeigte Modul 1 weist in vorteilhafter Weise Aufstellelemente 6 auf. Diese können in vorteilhafter Weise verstellbar ausgebildet sein, um Unebenheiten des Bodens 16 auszugleichen. Alternativ und/oder ergänzend kann das beispielhafte Modul 1 - wie insbesondere in Fig. 3 dargestellt - mit einer Decke 17 oder einer Wand 18 eines Gebäudes verbunden sein. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, eine Mehrzahl der beispielhaften Module 1 miteinander zu verbinden. Die Verbindung kann in vorteilhafter Weise ebenfalls durch das Verbinden der Verstärkungselement 4 der Module 1 erfolgen.The module 1 shown in the example advantageously has positioning elements 6 . These can advantageously be designed to be adjustable in order to compensate for any unevenness in the floor 16 . Alternatively and/or in addition, the exemplary module 1 - as in particular in 3 shown - be connected to a ceiling 17 or a wall 18 of a building. In addition, it is possible to connect a plurality of the exemplary modules 1 to one another. The connection can advantageously also be made by connecting the reinforcement elements 4 of the modules 1 .

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann derart ausgeführt werden, dass ein erfindungsgemäßes Modul 1 vorgefertigt wird. Hierbei werden Komponenten 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 des Heizungssystems an dem Trägerelement 2 befestigt. Bei dem in Fig. 5 dargestellten Beispiel handelt es sich bei den Komponenten 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 um eine hydraulische Weiche 7, einen Mischer 8, zwei Pumpen 9, eine Rückschlagklappe 10 sowie zwei Absperrarmaturen 11. Weiterhin werden die Rohrleitungsverbindungen 12 zwischen den Komponenten 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 hergestellt. Über weitere Rohrleitungen 12 werden die Komponenten 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 mit Anschlüssen 13 zur Verbindung des Moduls 1 mit einem Wärmeerzeugernetz sowie weiteren Anschlüssen 14 und 15 zur Verbindung des Moduls 1 mit Wärmeverbrauchernetzen verbunden. Das beispielhaft gezeigte Modul 1 kann verwendet werden, um einen Brennwertkessel, der Bestandteil eines Wärmeerzeugernetzes ist, mit zwei Wärmeverbrauchernetzen mit unterschiedlichen Anforderungen an die Vorlauftemperatur, beispielsweise einem Wärmeverbrauchernetz, das Wandheizkörper versorgt und einem Wärmeverbrauchernetz, welches eine Fußbodenheizung versorgt, zu verbinden. Es versteht sich, dass durch die Auswahl anderer Komponenten 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 und/oder eine andere Gestaltung der Rohrleitungsverbindungen entsprechende Module 1 mit einer Vielzahl möglicher unterschiedlicher anderer Funktionalitäten geschaffen werden können.The method according to the invention can be carried out in such a way that a module 1 according to the invention is prefabricated. In this case, components 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 of the heating system are fastened to the carrier element 2 . At the in figure 5 In the example shown, the components 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 are a hydraulic separator 7, a mixer 8, two pumps 9, a non-return valve 10 and two shut-off valves 11. Furthermore, the pipe connections 12 between the components 7, 8 , 9, 10, 11 produced. The components 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 are connected to connections 13 for connecting the module 1 to a heat generator network and other connections 14 and 15 for connecting the module 1 to heat consumer networks via additional pipes 12. Module 1 shown as an example can be used to connect a condensing boiler that is part of a heat generator network to two heat consumer networks with different flow temperature requirements, for example a heat consumer network that supplies wall-mounted radiators and a heat consumer network that supplies underfloor heating. It goes without saying that by selecting other components 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and/or a different design of the pipeline connections, corresponding modules 1 with a large number of possible different other functionalities can be created.

Das so vorgefertigte Modul 1 kann dann in ein Gebäude eingebracht werden. Vor Ort wird das Modul 1 aufgestellt und/oder im Gebäude befestigt. Die Anschlüsse 13 werden mit einem Wärmeerzeugernetz verbunden. Anschluss 14 wird mit einem ersten Wärmeverbrauchernetz - im gezeigten Beispiel zur Versorgung von Flächenheizkörpern - verbunden. Die Anschlüsse 15 werden mit einem zweiten Wärmeverbrauchernetz - im gezeigten Beispiel zur Versorgung einer Fußbodenheizung - verbunden. Das beispielhafte Modul 1 bildet so in vorteilhafter Weise die Schnittstelle zwischen Wärmeerzeugernetz und Wärmeverbrauchernetz. Es versteht sich, dass erfindungsgemäße Module auf 1 in diesem Zusammenhang auch dazu genutzt werden können, ein einzelnes Wärmeerzeugernetz mit einem einzelnen Wärmeverbrauchernetz zu verbinden. Alternativ und/oder ergänzend ist es möglich, eine Mehrzahl Wärmeerzeugernetze und/oder eine Mehrzahl Wärmeverbrauchernetze mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Modul 1 zu verbinden.The module 1 prefabricated in this way can then be introduced into a building. The module 1 is set up on site and/or fixed in the building. The connections 13 are connected to a heat generator network. Connection 14 is connected to a first heat consumer network - in the example shown to supply panel heaters. The connections 15 are connected to a second heat consumer network—in the example shown to supply underfloor heating. The exemplary module 1 thus advantageously forms the interface between the heat generator network and the heat consumer network. It goes without saying that modules according to the invention in FIG. 1 can also be used in this context to connect an individual heat generator network to an individual heat consumer network. Alternatively and/or additionally, it is possible to connect a plurality of heat generator networks and/or a plurality of heat consumer networks to a module 1 according to the invention.
