Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to gas heating apparatus and more particularly an automatic device for modulating the flow of combustion air and gas in said apparatus so as to optimize the efficiency thereof in any operating conditions.
  • gas heating apparatus are preferably, but not exclusively, intended the gas boilers, in the course of the following description reference will be made to the latter for convenience
  • gas boilers are known and employed in the most cases for heating the water which supplies both a heating apparatus with thermal radiators and the various sanitary fittings of which the houses served by these boilers are provided with.
  • These gas boilers can operate with natural or mechanical draught. In the latter case, they are provided with a suction fan adapted to con­vey the burnt gas in a stack.
  • this suction fan is usually of the type having a fixed revolving speed and this feature does not allow the boiler to be used at the maximum of efficiency in any operating conditions, because the draught generated by this suction fan rotating at a fixed speed is constant and therefore does not change with the change of the thermal demand of the user
  • an auto­matic device for modulating the flow of combustion air and gas in a gas heating apparatus provided with a suction fan for the burnt gas which is characterized in that it comprises:
  • control means for controlling the number of revolutions of the suction fan depending on the desired water temperature
  • transducer for metering the combustible gas, arranged in this pneumatic circuit and controlling the combustible gas metering valve.
  • said combustible gas metering transducer can be a diaphragm transducer, a piston transducer or a transducer of any other pneumatic type.
  • said pneumatic circuit connecting the inlet of the sucked combustion air to the bot­tom of the firebox can be comprised of a conduct deriving, for example, from the venturi.
  • a probe is provided for measuring the preset temperature of the water in the boi­ler and supplying a control signal to the means for controlling the number of revolutions of the suction fan in order to change the revol­ving speed of the latter with the change of the water temperature.
  • a gas heating apparatus in this case a gas boiler, comprising a firebox 1, in the lower portion of which the burner 2 is arranged, which is fed with combustible gas through the metering valve 3.
  • a heat exchanger 4 is provided which is intended to exchange the heat between the burnt gas and the heat carrier fluid.
  • the top wall of the firebox 1 has an outlet 9 in which a centrifugal suction fan 5 is arranged, which sucks the exhausted gas in the firebox 1 following the path indicated by the arrows 11 and conveys them to the outlet 12.
  • the centrifugal suction fan 5 is provided with an electronic control device 6, for example a TRIAC, the function of which is to control the revolving speed of the motor actuating the centrifugal suction fan 5.
  • a conventional potentiometer for controlling the thermal power and usually employed in the boilers generating warm water of this type has the function to preset the revolving speed of the suction fan 5 and therefore the feeding pressure of the combustible gas to the nozzles of the burner 2 depending on the heating apparatus demand, so as to provide the heating capacity required by the boiler.
  • the number of revolutions of the suction fan 5, when the boiler is heating the sani­tary water, is independent from this position.
  • a pneumatic circuit is derived, which is formed of the conduct 8 connected to the firebox 1.
  • a metering transducer 14 is inserted up­stream the inlet in the firebox 1, which acts directly on the metering valve 3 of the combustible gas by opening or closing it depending on the pressure differential acting on both sides of the metering transducer 14.
  • the metering transducer has a diaphragm 16 separating the housing 15 of transducer 14 in a pair of variable volume chambers 17,18, but it could be also a pneumatic transducer of different type, for example a piston transducer or a transducer of any other type.
  • the chamber 18 is subjected to the pressure p1 in the firebox 1 and the chamber 17 is subjected to the pressure p2 generated in the venturi 7 and prevailing in the conduct 8.
  • the gas valve 3 When the pressure p2 in the conduct 8 is lower than the pressure p1 in the firebox, the gas valve 3 is closed and viceversa , when the pressure p2 in the conduct 8 is higher than the pressure p1 in the fi­rebox, the gas valve 3 is opened.
  • an electronic control center unit which usually comprises a temperature selector for the sanitary water and a temperature selector for the heating water which are of a conventional type and therefore not shown in more detail. Also a flame control center unit is provided, which is also of conventional type and the­refore not shown in more detail.
  • a probe is provided, the function of which is to detect the water temperature on the delivery side of the heating apparatus and to supply its signal to the regulator 6 of the number of revolutions of the suction fan 5 through the electronic con­trol center unit.
  • the suction fan 5 causes a suction in the firebox 1 and therefore a vacuum, while at the same time ejecting through the outlet conduct 12 the burnt gas passing through the heat exhanger 4 which heats the water to be conveyed to the thermal radia­tors of the heating apparatus.
  • the suction caused by the suction fan 5 in the firebox sucks the com­bustion air from the outside through the air inlet 10 and conveys it through the venturi 7.
  • the sucked air in the venturi generates a vacuum which, through the conduct 8, acts on the metering transducer 14, the diaphragm 16 of which, depending on the pressure differential between the chambers 17 and 18 of transducer 14, controls the opening degree of the gas valve 3. Therefore, the higher the speed of the suction fan 5 the higher the combustible gas demand and viceversa , in the case of low rotation condition of the fan.
  • the suction fan decreases its revolving speed with the increase of the water temperature.
  • the sanitary and heating water temperature can be selected and controlled independently from each other. Preferably, there is only a probe which compares the water temperature of the primary circuit or heating circuit with the preset temperature of the water of the sanitary fittings or with the preset temperature for the heating apparatus, depending on the required user.
  • the modulation carried out by the device according to the invention controls the suction fan so as to cause a change of the number of revolutions thereof and therefore a change of the combustible gas flow rate to the burner 2 in order to allow the water temperature to be maintained to the value preset by the users and therefore, when the temperature decreases, the number of revolutions of fan increases and when the temperature increases, the number of revolutions of fan de­creases.
  • the metering transducer of the combustible gas can be of a design different from the diaphragm transducer.
