以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、この実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
（実施の形態１）
図１は、本発明の第１の実施の形態における溶解装置の構造図を示すものである。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a melting apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
図１において、無機化合物１１は粉末状、または、顆粒状、または、粉末状と顆粒状の混合物であり、収納手段である無機化合物収納容器１２に収納される。無機化合物１１は水に対して溶解性を持つ。 In FIG. 1, an inorganic compound 11 is in the form of powder, granules, or a mixture of powder and granules, and is stored in an inorganic compound storage container 12 serving as storage means. The inorganic compound 11 is soluble in water.
図１の無機化合物１１は径が異なる顆粒状のものであり、これを多層状となるように構成すると、無機化合物収納容器１２内には多孔質の空間が形成される。濾過手段１３は複数の***を有し、濾過手段収納容器１４に収納される。無機化合物収納容器１２と濾過手段収納容器１４は、順に水回路１５によって連通され、無機化合物収納容器１２は濾過手段収納容器１４の上流側となるように溶解装置１６を構成する。 The inorganic compound 11 in FIG. 1 is in the form of granules having different diameters, and when this is configured to be multilayered, a porous space is formed in the inorganic compound storage container 12. The filtering means 13 has a plurality of small holes and is stored in the filtering means storage container 14. The inorganic compound storage container 12 and the filtration means storage container 14 are sequentially communicated by a water circuit 15, and the dissolution apparatus 16 is configured so that the inorganic compound storage container 12 is on the upstream side of the filtration means storage container 14.
以上のように構成された給湯装置について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。水回路１５から溶解装置１６に流入する水は、無機化合物収納容器１２に形成される多孔質の空間を通過する。水には粘性があるため、多孔質の空間を通過する際に無機化合物１１の表面から表面近傍の領域には速度境界層が生成される。 About the hot water supply apparatus comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below. The water flowing into the dissolving device 16 from the water circuit 15 passes through the porous space formed in the inorganic compound storage container 12. Since water has viscosity, a velocity boundary layer is generated from the surface of the inorganic compound 11 to the region near the surface when passing through the porous space.
図２はその速度境界層の状態を示す図である。無機化合物１１の表面近傍の速度境界層の流速は小さく、多孔質空間の中心部を通過する流速は大きい分布となる。無機化合物１１は水に対して溶解性を持つため、無機化合物１１の表面近傍の１１の表面分子は、表面近傍の水に溶解し、水の溶解濃度が上昇する。表面近傍の水は流速が小さいため、溶解濃度は高い値となる。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the state of the velocity boundary layer. The flow velocity in the velocity boundary layer near the surface of the inorganic compound 11 is small, and the flow velocity passing through the center of the porous space has a large distribution. Since the inorganic compound 11 is soluble in water, 11 surface molecules near the surface of the inorganic compound 11 are dissolved in water near the surface, and the dissolution concentration of water increases. Since the water near the surface has a low flow rate, the dissolved concentration has a high value.
これに対して流速の大きい多孔質空間の中心部の流れる水の溶解濃度は低い。このとき、水中に溶解する無機化合物の濃度差が生じた場合は、濃度差に応じて高い方から低い物質が移動する（フィックの法則）ため、表面近傍の水に溶解した無機化合物は濃度の低い中心の水に移動する。 On the other hand, the dissolved concentration of water flowing in the center of the porous space having a high flow rate is low. At this time, if there is a difference in the concentration of the inorganic compound dissolved in water, the lower substance moves from the higher one according to the concentration difference (Fick's law), so the inorganic compound dissolved in the water near the surface Move to low center water.
この物質拡散の原理を利用することで、無機化合物１１を多孔質空間内の水に溶解させることができる。濾過手段１３は、無機化合物収納容器１２内の水勢によって無機化合物１１の顆粒が無機化合物収納容器１２から流出しようとした場合、これを防止するものである。 By utilizing this principle of substance diffusion, the inorganic compound 11 can be dissolved in water in the porous space. The filtering means 13 prevents the granules of the inorganic compound 11 from flowing out of the inorganic compound storage container 12 due to the water flow in the inorganic compound storage container 12.
以上のように、本実施の形態においては、無機化合物と、無機化合物収納容器と、濾過手段と、濾過手段収納容器を有し、無機化合物収納容器、濾過手段収納容器の順に水回路
で接続した溶解装置を備えた給湯装置とした。
As described above, in the present embodiment, the inorganic compound, the inorganic compound storage container, the filtration means, and the filtration means storage container are provided, and the inorganic compound storage container and the filtration means storage container are connected in this order by the water circuit. A hot water supply device equipped with a melting device was used.
これによって、水と無機化合物の間の溶解濃度差で物質が移動する、物質拡散（フィックの法則）の原理で、水に無機化合物を溶解させることが可能となる。従って、これまで必要としていた電源回路と絶縁回路が削減できるので、コンパクト化、低コスト化、さらには消費電力量を抑えた給湯装置とすることができる。 This makes it possible to dissolve the inorganic compound in water based on the principle of substance diffusion (Fick's law) in which the substance moves due to the difference in the dissolved concentration between water and the inorganic compound. Therefore, since the power supply circuit and the insulation circuit which have been required so far can be reduced, it is possible to provide a hot water supply apparatus that is compact and low in cost, and further reduces power consumption.
尚、無機化合物を、亜鉛を含む亜鉛化合物（酸化亜鉛、炭酸亜鉛など）とした場合、以下の効果を得ることができる。亜鉛は比較的要求量の多いヒトの必須元素の一つであり、通常の食事からの供給では欠乏しやすく、栄養強化目的で、食品に添加される元素である。これに対しては、浴槽に亜鉛を溶解させた水を供給することで、入浴中に経皮吸収による栄養強化を行うことができる。 In addition, when the inorganic compound is a zinc compound containing zinc (such as zinc oxide or zinc carbonate), the following effects can be obtained. Zinc is one of the essential elements of humans with relatively large demands, and is easily deficient when supplied from a normal diet. It is an element added to foods for the purpose of enhancing nutrition. On the other hand, the nutrition enhancement by percutaneous absorption can be performed during bathing by supplying water in which zinc is dissolved in the bathtub.
図３は、溶解装置の無機化合物１１と濾過手段１３の寸法の関係を示す例である。図３において、濾過手段１３は径の異なる複数の***１３ａ、１３ｂ、１３ｃから構成される。 FIG. 3 is an example showing the relationship between the dimensions of the inorganic compound 11 and the filtering means 13 of the dissolving apparatus. In FIG. 3, the filtering means 13 is composed of a plurality of small holes 13a, 13b, 13c having different diameters.
図４は、濾過手段１３の構成例である。（ａ）は、線形状の繊維で角状の***を形成したものである。（ｂ）は、所定の厚さの板に、複数種の径の***を施したものである。（ｃ）は、粒状の非溶解材料を多層状として多孔質空間を形成したものである。何れも、無機化合物収納容器１２内の水勢によって無機化合物１１の顆粒が無機化合物収納容器１２から流出しようとした場合、これを防止するものであるが、この構成と形状の限りではない。 FIG. 4 is a configuration example of the filtering means 13. (A) forms a square-shaped small hole with a linear fiber. (B) is a plate having a predetermined thickness and small holes having a plurality of types of diameters. (C) forms a porous space by using a granular non-dissolving material as a multilayer. In any case, when the granules of the inorganic compound 11 are about to flow out of the inorganic compound storage container 12 due to the water flow in the inorganic compound storage container 12, this is prevented, but the configuration and shape are not limited thereto.
溶解装置１６を流出する溶解濃度は、無機化合物収納容器１２を通過する水流速と、無機化合物１１の水と接触する表面積等で決定される。溶解装置１６の溶解濃度を所定値とする場合は、無機化合物１１の全表面積をある範囲とする必要があるため、図３の無機化合物収納容器１２に収納する無機化合物１１の粒径をある一定の範囲内のサイズに選別したものを利用する必要がある。 The dissolution concentration flowing out of the dissolution apparatus 16 is determined by the flow rate of water passing through the inorganic compound storage container 12, the surface area of the inorganic compound 11 in contact with water, and the like. When the dissolution concentration of the dissolution apparatus 16 is set to a predetermined value, the total surface area of the inorganic compound 11 needs to be within a certain range, so the particle size of the inorganic compound 11 stored in the inorganic compound storage container 12 of FIG. It is necessary to use the one selected for the size within the range.
選別を行うと、コストアップの要因となるため、複数の径を有する無機化合物１１の中において、無機化合物１１の最大粒径Ｄ１に対して、濾過手段１３の***１３ａの径Ｄ２は、Ｄ２＜Ｄ１とした場合、以下の効果を得ることができる。 Since the selection causes a cost increase, among the inorganic compounds 11 having a plurality of diameters, the diameter D2 of the small hole 13a of the filtering means 13 is D2 <with respect to the maximum particle diameter D1 of the inorganic compound 11. In the case of D1, the following effects can be obtained.
Ｄ２未満の粒径の無機化合物１１は、***１３ａ、１３ｂ、１３ｃから流出する。利用初期は粒径の小さいものは、溶解装置１６外へ流出するが、所定時間経過後は、Ｄ２以上の粒径の無機化合物１１は無機化合物収納容器１２内に貯留され続ける。 The inorganic compound 11 having a particle size less than D2 flows out from the small holes 13a, 13b, and 13c. In the initial stage of use, those having a small particle size flow out of the melting device 16, but after a predetermined time has passed, the inorganic compound 11 having a particle size of D2 or more continues to be stored in the inorganic compound storage container 12.
この状態が形成された場合、無機化合物１１の粒径をある一定の範囲内のサイズに選別したことと同等となる。従って、サイズが混在する無機化合物１１を用いても、目的とする濃度を水に溶解させる構造となる。 When this state is formed, it is equivalent to selecting the particle size of the inorganic compound 11 to a size within a certain range. Therefore, even if the inorganic compound 11 in which the sizes are mixed is used, the target concentration is dissolved in water.
（実施の形態２）
図５は、本発明の第２の実施の形態における溶解装置を給湯端末に接続した構成図である。なお、水への無機化合物１１への溶解の原理等については、第１の実施の形態にて述べたのでここでは省略する。
(Embodiment 2)

The water in the hot water storage tank 28 is conveyed to the hot water supply heat exchanger 23 by the hot water supply water pump 29 and heated by the heat pump cycle operation. The hot water supply pump 29 controls the flow rate of the hot water supply circuit 30 so that the temperature of the hot water heated by the hot water supply heat exchanger 23 becomes a predetermined temperature.
