【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、凍結によって給湯器内の熱交換器を含む水管が破損するのを防止する機能を有する給湯器に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
給湯器は、燃料の燃焼による熱を熱交換器によって水に与えて温水を得、これを供給するものである。したがって熱交換器は、燃焼ガスと水とが迅速にかつ充分に熱交換が行われるものでなければならない。また燃焼用空気が充分に供給されなければならない。このため、給湯器が使用されないとき、熱交換器は外気に曝される。特に冬期外気温が氷点下になると、熱交換器を介して、熱交換器内の水が凍結し、凍結による膨張によって熱交換器が破損する。これを防ぐため、従来から冬期で最低温度が氷点下になるときは、給湯器内の水抜きを使用者が行っている。水抜き操作を忘れたり、急激な寒波の来襲があったりすると給湯器が破損するという問題があった。
【0003】
最近の給湯器では、給湯器内の水管の周囲に電気ヒータを設け、給湯器内の水温が凍結予防温度、たとえば2℃になると、前記電気ヒータに通電して給湯器内の水を凍結温度(0℃)以上に保持している。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この方法は、電気ヒータによって水管を介して水管内の水を加温し、この加温された水を対流によって熱交換器に移動させ、熱交換器を凍結予防温度以上に保つものであり、エネルギ的にも損失が大きく、また電気エネルギが高価であるという問題がある。
【0005】
本発明の目的は、従来からある給湯器に新たな部材を付加せずに、効率の良い凍結防止機能を付加した給湯器を提供することである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、燃料の供給量を制御することによって希望する温度の温水が得られる給湯器において、
給湯器内の水温が凍結予防温度以下に低下したとき、制御できる最低の燃料供給量で、予め定める短時間燃料を燃焼する制御手段と、
前記凍結予防温度未満であって凍結温度以上の予め定める温度に給湯器内の水温が低下したとき、給湯器内の水管の周囲に設けられた電気ヒータに通電し、前記凍結予防温度以上に水温が上昇したとき、前記電気ヒータの通電を遮断する制御手段とを設けたことを特徴とする凍結防止機能付給湯器である。
本発明に従えば、給湯器内の水温が凍結予防温度、たとえば3℃になれば、まず制御できる最低の燃料供給量で、予め定める短時間、たとえば1分間燃料を燃焼し、これによって給湯器内、特に熱交換器内の水温は、たとえば10℃上昇される。元コックが閉められているなどによる異常なときは、凍結予防温度と凍結温度(0℃)との中間温度、たとえば2℃で電気ヒータが作動し、凍結が予防される。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を実施の形態によって、より具体的に説明する。
図1は、本発明の一実施の形態の凍結防止機能付給湯器1の原理を説明する系統図である。燃料、たとえば都市ガスは元コック2を経て、3分岐し各ガス開閉弁3〜5に連なる。第1バーナ7は、ガス開閉弁3に比例弁6を介して連なり、第2バーナ8は、ガス開閉弁4に、第3,第4バーナ9,10はガス開閉弁5にそれぞれ連なっている。第1バーナ7は、ガス比例弁6によってガス流量を50〜100%に調節され、全負荷の12.5%〜25%で燃焼し、第2〜第4バーナ8〜10は各25%の負荷で燃焼し、これらを組合わすことによって、全負荷の12.5%〜100%で燃焼可能である。各バーナ7〜10からの燃焼ガスは、熱交換器11で水に熱を与え、図示しない排気筒から排出される。
【0008】
本実施例の給湯器1はバイパスミキシング方式であるので、水は水流検出器21、第1水温検出器22を経てバイパス管23と加熱管24とに分岐し、加熱管24は熱交換器11と給湯器1内の水温を検出する第2水温検出器25とを経て混合器28に連なる。バイパス管23は、開閉弁26と比例弁27とを経て混合器28に連なる。混合管28からの水(温水)は、第3水温検出器29を経て必要箇所に供給される。バイパス管23に流れる水量は、比例弁27によって、たとえば加熱管24に流れる水量と同量からその2倍の範囲に調節される。また熱交換器11内の水温が凍結温度以下になるのを防ぐために、熱交換器11の近くの水管に電気ヒータ30が設けられている。
【0009】
ガス開閉弁3〜5およびガス比例弁6と、バイパス管23に設けられている開閉弁26および比例弁27は、図示されないマイクロコンピュータなどによる制御器31によって制御され、第1水温検出器22によって検出される給湯器1入口の水温にかかわらず第3水温検出器29によって検出される出口水温を設定温度にする。この他に制御器31は、第2水温検出器25によって検出される熱交換器11出口の水温を規定温度、たとえば80℃以下に制御する。これは熱交換器11が異常に高温になることを防ぎ、熱交換器11の耐久性を増すためである。さらに第2水温検出器25の温度が凍結予防温度、たとえば2℃以下になれば、電気ヒータ30に通電して熱交換器11が破損するのを防止する。以上の制御は、従来の給湯器の制御であるが、本発明の給湯器1は、これらの制御に加えて、後述するガスによる凍結防止機能を有する。
【0010】
図2は、給湯器1の制御装置の電気的構成を示すブロック図である。また図3は、水流がある場合の制御器31の動作を示すフローチャートである。図1〜図3を用いて、水流がある場合の給湯器1の動作を説明する。
【0011】
図示されない湯温の設定温度入力手段によって希望する出湯温度が入力される。制御器31は、この設定温度と第1水温検出器21の検出温度とによって、予めガス開閉弁3〜5の開閉、バイパス管23の開閉弁26の開閉および比例弁27の開度を決める。ただしガス開閉弁3〜5は閉じ、ガス比例弁6は最低の開度とし、ステップa1でスタートする。給湯栓が開かれ、水流検出器21が作動してステップa2からステップa3に進む。ステップa3では、図示しないたとえばスパークによる点火手段が作動し、ステップa4でガス開閉弁3が開き、最低のガス量、たとえば全負荷の12.5%の負荷でガスが供給され、第1バーナ7が点火する。ステップa5で第1バーナ7が点火したことが、図示しないたとえばフレームロッドによって確認されれば、ステップa7に進み、前記で決められたようにガス開閉弁4,5とバイパス開閉弁26とを開閉する。また第3水温検出器29で検出された温度が、前記設定温度になるように、また第2水温検出器25で検出される温度が80℃を超えないようにガス比例弁6およびバイパス比例弁27が作動する。設定温度がたとえば60〜80℃と高いときは、バイパス開閉弁26は閉められる。ステップa7は、水流検出器21が作動している間継続され、水流が検出されなくなればステップa8からステップa9へと進み、ガス開閉弁4,5が閉じ、ガス比例弁6は最小の開度になる。次にステップa10でガス開閉弁3が閉じ、ステップa11で一連の動作が終了する。
【0012】
ステップa5で点火が確認されない場合は、ステップa6で点火操作が始まってから1分が経過したかどうかが判断され、1分が経過していないときはステップa3に戻り、点火操作が継続される。点火操作が始まってから1分経過しても点火されないときは、元コック2が止まっているなどガスが供給されない場合であり、ステップa10でガス開閉弁3を閉じる。
【0013】
図4は、流水がない場合の制御器31の動作を示すフローチャートである。ガス開閉弁3〜5は閉止し、ガス比例弁6は、最低の開度になってスタートする。ステップb2で第2水温検出器25の温度が凍結予防温度、たとえば3℃以下になったかどうかが判断され、これが3℃以下になれば、ステップb3に進む。ステップb3〜ステップb6は、前記のステップa3〜ステップa6と同じである。
【0014】
ステップb5で第1バーナ7の点火が確認されれば、ステップb7に進み、最少負荷すなわち最大負荷の,12.5%で第1バーナ7が1分間燃焼する。これによって給湯器1内の温度が上昇し、第2水温検出器25によて検出される温度は、たとえば10℃上昇する。次にステップb8に進みガス開閉弁3を閉じ、ステップb9で一連の動作が終了する。
【0015】
図5は、ガス元コック2が閉じられており、第1バーナ7が点火することなく、図4に示すフローチャートが終了した場合、電気ヒータ30を作動させるフローチャートである。ステップc1でスタートし、ステップc2で第2水温検出器25で検出される温度が、前記凍結予防温度(3℃)と凍結温度(0℃)の中間温度、たとえば2℃以下になったかどうかが判断され、これが2℃以下になれば、ステップc3に進み、電熱ヒータ30に通電される。これによって第2温度検出器25で検出される温度は徐々に上昇する。ステップc4で第2温度検出器25で検出される温度が5℃以上になったかどうかが判断され、これが5℃以上になれば、ステップc5で電気ヒータ30の通電が停止される。
【0016】
本発明の給湯器1は、図3および図5の機能を有する従来の給湯器に図4で示す凍結防止機能を付加したもので、このために検出器、開閉弁、比例弁、電気ヒータなどで新たに付加した部材は何もなく、ただ制御器31の制御動作を変更しただけである。これによって高価で熱効率の悪い熱源としての電気の使用を極力抑制した凍結防止機能付給湯器を得ることができる。またガス開閉弁の数、ガス比例弁の制御範囲は、給湯器1の能力、温水温度の制御精度によって増減されるが、本発明の燃料による凍結防止機能の付加によって増加されるものではない。
【0017】
図6は、本発明の他の実施の形態の凍結機能付給湯器41の原理を説明する系統図である。本給湯器41は、全水量方式である点で先の実施の形態と異なる。したがってバイパス管23やバイパス管23に設けられる開閉弁26、比例弁27、混合器28はなく、第2水温検出器25と第3水温検出器29とは、1つの出口水温検出器42で代用される。その他の構成は、先の実施の形態と同じであり、同一の部材には同一の参照符を付す。
【0018】
本実施の形態においても制御器31によって出口水温検出器42で給湯器41内の水温が検出され、これが凍結予防温度以下になれば、最低の燃焼負荷で燃料が燃焼される。燃料が供給されず、さらに給湯器41内の水温が低下すれば、電気ヒータ30が通電される。
【0019】
全水量方式の給湯器は、水関連の部材が少なくてよいが、給湯栓が開いてから希望する温度の温水が供給されるまでの時間が、バイパスミキシング方式よりも長くなる欠点がある。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、給湯器内の水温が凍結予防温度になれば、まず燃料を短時間燃焼し、その水温を上昇する。燃料が供給されていない異常な状態のときは、前記凍結予防温度と凍結温度との中間温度で、水管を加熱する電気ヒータに通電し、水管内の水を加熱する。これによって高価で熱効率の悪い電力の使用を極力抑えて、新たに特別な部材を負荷することなく給湯器の凍結を防止できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a water heater having a function of preventing a water pipe including a heat exchanger in a water heater from being damaged by freezing.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The hot water heater is for supplying hot water by giving heat by combustion of fuel to water by a heat exchanger. Therefore, the heat exchanger must be such that the combustion gas and water exchange heat quickly and sufficiently. Also, the combustion air must be sufficiently supplied. For this reason, when the water heater is not used, the heat exchanger is exposed to the outside air. In particular, when the outdoor temperature in winter falls below freezing point, the water in the heat exchanger freezes through the heat exchanger, and the heat exchanger is damaged due to expansion due to freezing. To prevent this, the user has been draining the water heater when the minimum temperature is below freezing point in winter. There was a problem that the water heater was damaged if the water draining operation was forgotten or there was a sudden cold wave attack.
[0003]
In recent water heaters, an electric heater is provided around the water pipe in the water heater, and when the water temperature in the water heater reaches a freezing prevention temperature, for example, 2 ° C., the electric heater is energized to freeze the water in the water heater. (0 ° C) or higher.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In this method, the water in the water pipe is heated by an electric heater through the water pipe, the heated water is moved to the heat exchanger by convection, and the heat exchanger is kept at a freezing prevention temperature or higher. There is also a problem that energy is lossy and electric energy is expensive.
[0005]
An object of the present invention is to provide a water heater with an efficient anti-freezing function added to a conventional water heater without adding a new member.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention provides a water heater that can obtain hot water having a desired temperature by controlling the amount of fuel supplied.
A control means for burning a predetermined short-time fuel with a minimum controllable fuel supply amount when the water temperature in the water heater falls below the freezing prevention temperature;
When the water temperature in the water heater is lower than the freezing prevention temperature and higher than the freezing temperature, the electric heater provided around the water pipe in the water heater is energized, and the water temperature is higher than the freezing prevention temperature. And a control means for shutting off the energization of the electric heater when the temperature rises.
According to the present invention, when the water temperature in the water heater reaches the freezing prevention temperature, for example, 3 ° C., the fuel is first burned with a minimum controllable fuel supply amount for a predetermined short period of time, for example, for one minute, thereby the water heater. In particular, the water temperature in the heat exchanger, for example, is increased by 10 ° C., for example. When an abnormality occurs due to the main cock being closed or the like, the electric heater operates at an intermediate temperature between the freezing prevention temperature and the freezing temperature (0 ° C.), for example, 2 ° C. to prevent freezing.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a system diagram illustrating the principle of a water heater 1 with a freeze prevention function according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fuel, for example city gas, branches through the main cock 2 and branches into three gas on-off valves 3 to 5. The first burner 7 is connected to the gas on-off valve 3 via the proportional valve 6, the second burner 8 is connected to the gas on-off valve 4, and the third and fourth burners 9, 10 are connected to the gas on-off valve 5. . The first burner 7 is adjusted to a gas flow rate of 50 to 100% by the gas proportional valve 6 and burns at 12.5% to 25% of the full load, and the second to fourth burners 8 to 10 are each 25%. Combustion at a load, and combining them, can burn at 12.5% to 100% of full load. Combustion gas from each burner 7 to 10 heats water in the heat exchanger 11 and is discharged from an exhaust pipe (not shown).
[0008]
Since the water heater 1 of the present embodiment is a bypass mixing system, water branches into a bypass pipe 23 and a heating pipe 24 via a water flow detector 21 and a first water temperature detector 22, and the heating pipe 24 is a heat exchanger 11. And a second water temperature detector 25 that detects the water temperature in the water heater 1 and continues to the mixer 28. The bypass pipe 23 is connected to the mixer 28 via an on-off valve 26 and a proportional valve 27. Water (warm water) from the mixing tube 28 is supplied to a necessary location through the third water temperature detector 29. The amount of water flowing through the bypass pipe 23 is adjusted by the proportional valve 27, for example, from the same amount as the amount of water flowing through the heating pipe 24 to a range twice that amount. In order to prevent the water temperature in the heat exchanger 11 from becoming the freezing temperature or lower, an electric heater 30 is provided in the water pipe near the heat exchanger 11.
[0009]
The gas on-off valves 3 to 5 and the gas proportional valve 6 and the on-off valve 26 and the proportional valve 27 provided in the bypass pipe 23 are controlled by a controller 31 such as a microcomputer (not shown), and the first water temperature detector 22 Regardless of the detected water temperature at the inlet of the water heater 1, the outlet water temperature detected by the third water temperature detector 29 is set to the set temperature. In addition, the controller 31 controls the water temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger 11 detected by the second water temperature detector 25 to a specified temperature, for example, 80 ° C. or lower. This is to prevent the heat exchanger 11 from becoming abnormally hot and increase the durability of the heat exchanger 11. Further, when the temperature of the second water temperature detector 25 becomes a freezing prevention temperature, for example, 2 ° C. or less, the electric heater 30 is energized to prevent the heat exchanger 11 from being damaged. Although the above control is control of the conventional water heater, in addition to these control, the water heater 1 of this invention has the antifreezing function by the gas mentioned later.
[0010]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an electrical configuration of the control device of the water heater 1. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the controller 31 when there is a water flow. The operation of the water heater 1 when there is a water flow will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0011]
The desired hot water temperature is input by a hot water temperature setting temperature input means (not shown). The controller 31 previously determines the opening / closing of the gas on / off valves 3 to 5, the opening / closing of the on / off valve 26 of the bypass pipe 23, and the opening of the proportional valve 27 based on the set temperature and the temperature detected by the first water temperature detector 21. However, the gas on-off valves 3 to 5 are closed, the gas proportional valve 6 is set to the lowest opening degree, and starts at step a1. The hot-water tap is opened and the water flow detector 21 is activated to proceed from step a2 to step a3. In step a3, an ignition means (not shown), for example, is actuated. In step a4, the gas on-off valve 3 is opened, and gas is supplied at a minimum gas amount, for example, 12.5% of the full load. Ignites. If it is confirmed, for example, by a frame rod (not shown) that the first burner 7 is ignited in step a5, the process proceeds to step a7, and the gas on / off valves 4, 5 and the bypass on / off valve 26 are opened / closed as determined above. To do. Further, the gas proportional valve 6 and the bypass proportional valve are set so that the temperature detected by the third water temperature detector 29 becomes the set temperature, and the temperature detected by the second water temperature detector 25 does not exceed 80 ° C. 27 is activated. When the set temperature is as high as 60 to 80 ° C., for example, the bypass on-off valve 26 is closed. Step a7 is continued while the water flow detector 21 is operating. If no water flow is detected, the process proceeds from step a8 to step a9, the gas on-off valves 4 and 5 are closed, and the gas proportional valve 6 has the minimum opening. become. Next, in step a10, the gas on-off valve 3 is closed, and in step a11, a series of operations is completed.
[0012]
If ignition is not confirmed in step a5, it is determined in step a6 whether one minute has elapsed since the ignition operation started. If one minute has not elapsed, the process returns to step a3 and the ignition operation is continued. . If the ignition is not ignited even after one minute has passed since the ignition operation has started, the gas is not supplied because the main cock 2 has stopped, and the gas on-off valve 3 is closed in step a10.
[0013]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the controller 31 when there is no running water. The gas on-off valves 3 to 5 are closed, and the gas proportional valve 6 starts with the minimum opening. In step b2, it is determined whether or not the temperature of the second water temperature detector 25 has become a freezing prevention temperature, for example, 3 ° C. or less. If this temperature becomes 3 ° C. or less, the process proceeds to step b3. Step b3 to step b6 are the same as step a3 to step a6 described above.
[0014]
If ignition of the first burner 7 is confirmed in step b5, the process proceeds to step b7, where the first burner 7 burns for 1 minute at 12.5% of the minimum load, that is, the maximum load. As a result, the temperature in the water heater 1 rises, and the temperature detected by the second water temperature detector 25 rises by 10 ° C., for example. Next, the process proceeds to step b8, the gas on-off valve 3 is closed, and a series of operations are completed at step b9.
[0015]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for operating the electric heater 30 when the gas source cock 2 is closed and the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 is completed without the first burner 7 igniting. Whether or not the temperature detected by the second water temperature detector 25 in step c1 has become an intermediate temperature between the freezing prevention temperature (3 ° C.) and the freezing temperature (0 ° C.), for example, 2 ° C. or less. If it is judged and this becomes 2 degrees C or less, it will progress to step c3 and will supply with electricity to the electric heater 30. FIG. As a result, the temperature detected by the second temperature detector 25 gradually increases. In step c4, it is determined whether or not the temperature detected by the second temperature detector 25 is 5 ° C. or higher. If this temperature is 5 ° C. or higher, energization of the electric heater 30 is stopped in step c5.
[0016]
The water heater 1 of the present invention is obtained by adding the anti-freezing function shown in FIG. 4 to the conventional water heater having the functions of FIG. 3 and FIG. 5. For this purpose, a detector, an on-off valve, a proportional valve, an electric heater, etc. There are no newly added members, and only the control operation of the controller 31 is changed. This makes it possible to obtain a water heater with an anti-freezing function that suppresses the use of electricity as a heat source that is expensive and has poor thermal efficiency as much as possible. The number of gas on-off valves and the control range of the gas proportional valve are increased or decreased depending on the capacity of the water heater 1 and the control accuracy of the hot water temperature, but are not increased by the addition of the antifreezing function by the fuel of the present invention.
[0017]
FIG. 6 is a system diagram illustrating the principle of a water heater 41 with a freezing function according to another embodiment of the present invention. This hot water heater 41 is different from the previous embodiment in that it is a total water amount method. Therefore, there is no on-off valve 26, proportional valve 27, and mixer 28 provided in the bypass pipe 23 or the bypass pipe 23, and the second water temperature detector 25 and the third water temperature detector 29 are replaced by one outlet water temperature detector 42. Is done. Other configurations are the same as those of the previous embodiment, and the same reference numerals are given to the same members.
[0018]
Also in the present embodiment, the controller 31 detects the water temperature in the water heater 41 by the outlet water temperature detector 42, and the fuel is combusted with the lowest combustion load when the temperature falls below the freezing prevention temperature. If the fuel is not supplied and the water temperature in the water heater 41 decreases, the electric heater 30 is energized.
[0019]
The total water amount type water heater may have fewer water-related members, but has a disadvantage that the time from when the hot water tap is opened until hot water having a desired temperature is supplied is longer than that of the bypass mixing method.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when the water temperature in the water heater reaches the freeze prevention temperature, the fuel is first burned for a short time and the water temperature is increased. In an abnormal state in which fuel is not supplied, an electric heater that heats the water pipe is energized at an intermediate temperature between the freezing prevention temperature and the freezing temperature to heat the water in the water pipe. As a result, it is possible to suppress the use of expensive and inefficient thermal power as much as possible, and to prevent the water heater from freezing without newly loading a special member.
