The evaporator (17), occupying the full width of the housing, and the blower (18), which together with the air guide means also occupies the full width of the housing, are disposed above a partition wall (19) in the housing, the partition wall being arranged to bear against the side walls of the housing and to extend from the edge of an air inlet opening (14) in a top wall of the housing to the lower edge of an air outlet opening (15) in an end wall of the housing. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Heat pump
The present invention relates to a heat pump,
especially a pump for heating consumable or
domestic water by extraction of heat from the air.
In a known type of heat pump, a blower and an
evaporator of refrigerating means are disposed in
an air guide duct which extends inside a housing
and is built up from various individual parts,
sometimes formed in complicated shapes.
Because of these additional parts, the construction
and installation of such a heat pump is
comparatively difficult and expensive.
There is accordingly a need for a heat pump in
which an air duct and the arrangement of
elements situated therein are formed as simply
and economically as possible.
According to the present invention there is
provided a heat pump comprising a substantially
box-shaped housing provided in a top wall thereof
with a first air passage opening and in an end wall
thereof with a second air passage opening, a
partition wall arranged in the housing to contact
two opposite side walls thereof and to extend
from a lower edge of the second opening to the
remote edge of the first opening, and compression
refrigerating means and air induction means
disposed in the housing and comprising an
evaporator and a blower device which are
arranged above the partition wall and which
extend across substantially the entire width of the housing between the side walls.
In a preferred embodiment, the evaporator occupies the full width of the housing and the blower device, comprising a blower with air guide means, also occupies the full width of the housing, these components being situated above the partition wall, which bears against the side walls of the housing and extends from the edge of the inlet opening disposed in the top wall of the housing to the lower edge of the air outlet opening disposed in the narrow end wall of the housing. By means of such a partition wall and the arrangement of the blower device and of the evaporator, the construction of the heat pump is simple, rational and economical.
Preferably, the evaporator is arranged on the partition wall in front, in the direction of flow of the air, of the outlet opening, and this partition wall is provided, in its end portion associated with the evaporator, with a collecting channel for condensed water. The partition wall may be formed as a plastics drawn component with integrally formed collecting gutter for condensate.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be more particularly described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a heat pump for heating consumable water by extraction of heat from the air;
Fig. 2 is a partly broken away front elevation of the heat pump, showing an evaporator, blower and partition wall within a housing of the pump;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the heat pump with a top wall of the housing removed;
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation, to an enlarged scale, of the partition wall; and
Fig. 5 is an end view of the partition wall seen in the direction of arrow V in Fig. 4.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a heat pump 10 for heating consumable or domestic water by extraction of heat from the air, the recovered heat being discharged from the pump via a heat carrier to a boiler or calorifier (not shown). The individual components of the heat pump 10 are enclosed in a box-shaped housing 11, which is composed of a frame assembled from angle sections 12 and clad at the sides with sheet metal panels or the like. The housing 11 is provided on its front face with a switch panel 13 and has an intake opening 14 disposed in its top face or cover and a discharge opening 1 5 situated on one narrow face. The intake opening 14, like the discharge opening 15, is covered in the usual manner with a protective grating.
Arranged in the interior of the housing 11 is a compression refrigerating machine, of which the only components to be mentioned at this point are an encapsulated motor-compressor 16, a condensor and an evaporator 1 7. Also arranged in the housing 11 are a blower 18 surrounded by an air guide device, and a partition wall 19. The blower 18, disposed in the housing above the partition wall 19, occupies together with its air guide device, as does the evaporator 1 7, the full width of the housing 1 The evaporator 1 7 is disposed in front, with respect to the direction of flow of the air, of the discharge opening 1 5 in the interior of the housing.The partition wall 1 9, also occupying the full width of the housing 11, bears at its lateral edges against the lateral walls of the housing and extends from the edge of the intake opening 14 to the lower edge of the discharge opening 1 5. The end portion of the partition wall associated with the evaporator 1 7 is provided with a collecting gutter 20 for condensate, to which is connected a pipe length 21 for discharge of condensate flowing down from the evaporator 1 7. The condensate is conducted away via a hose 22 connected to the pipe length 21 and exits at the rear face of the housing via a hose coupling (not shown).
The partition wall 19 is preferably constructed as a plastics drawn component, in which the collecting gutter 20 for the condensate is integrally formed. In conjunction with the lateral walls of the housing 1 , the partition wall 19 forms an air guide duct in the housing. The intake opening 14 is bounded on one side by the associated end portion of the partitition wall 19 and on the other side by the upper edge of the air guide device surrounding the blower 18.
1. A heat pump comprising a substantially boxshaped housing provided in a top wall thereof with a first air passage opening and in an end wall thereof with a second air passage opening, a
