Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water system with the preamble features of claim 1.
  • a generic system is well known.
  • Such water systems in which water flowing in a hot water line is heated via a flow heater, have long been known in the art.
  • Such water systems may be installed in family homes or even large multi-housing buildings, administrative buildings, industrial buildings, hospitals and the like.
  • the present invention proposes a water system according to claim 1.
  • a rinsing station connected to the hot water pipe is provided, by means of which water standing in the hot water pipe can be drained in time sequence and which is configured such that, caused by removal of warm water from the water pipe via the consumer , the hot water pipe is flushed by means of the rinsing station until the water contained in the flow heater is below a predetermined target temperature.
  • the inventors of the present invention have found that, when coupling a flushing station to the flow heater, it may be purged, caused by the hot water extraction, until the temperature of the water in the flow heater falls below the predetermined set temperature, so that the Problem of precipitation of lime is prevented.
  • Such a cause for purging can be given by the fact that it has been determined that a hot water withdrawal has been completed at a consumer, or an end of a hot water withdrawal at a consumer imminent.
  • it can be decided by flushing a hot water, to decide whether a rinse is performed. It can e.g. be that flushing is carried out in connection with the removal, in particular once it has been determined that no more warm water is removed from the consumer.
  • Such rinsing stations in conjunction with water systems are well known.
  • a rinse station in the European patent application EP 1 845 207 A1 described whose design and the embodiment of the system described therein by this reference to the disclosure content of the present application is made.

  • a forced flush is performed when the water in the corresponding pipe stagnates for a long time or only a little water was taken over a longer period.
  • This flushing is controlled by a flushing plan, which is stored in a control device of the flushing station.
  • the inventors have found that the fastest possible cooling of the water in the heat exchanger is achieved by coupling a control device, by means of which the flow heater is controlled, with the rinsing station, in particular with its control device, so that the rinsing station contains a further function and always then a purge takes place when the removal of warm water is completed or it is determined that a termination of the withdrawal is expected in the near future and the risk of stagnation of the warm water in the flow heater occurs. Namely, when rinsing takes place, as soon as the consumption of warm water is stopped, cold water enters the hot water via a supply line of the flow heater and displaces the stagnant warm water there, so that a cooling takes place in the flow heater.
  • lime precipitation in the flow heater can be effectively prevented. It is not necessary that a rinsing schedule for rinses with water stagnation be deposited in the rinsing station in order to prevent contamination. For the invention is enough it is that the rinsing station is controlled so that, as soon as a removal of hot water from the hot water line is completed via the consumer, is purged until the water contained in the flow heater is below the intended target temperature.
  • a control device for switching on or off of a heating operation of the flow heater can be provided, and the rinsing station can be configured such that when the control device switches off the heating operation of the flow heater, the hot water pipe is purged until that in the Flow heater contained water is below the specified setpoint temperature.
  • a flushing through the flushing station takes place when the flow heater has been turned off. Because the flow heater is always turned off by the control device of the same when no more warm water is needed, d. H. a user closes the consumer and no hot water is removed from the hot water pipe more.
  • the rinsing station can be configured such that the hot water pipe is purged until the water contained in the flow heater is below a temperature of 40 ° C.
  • Lime precipitation occurs in stagnant water, especially at water temperatures above 40 ° C instead. Such lime precipitation takes place all the more, the higher the temperature of the stagnant water. Since the water system is a hot water pipe, the water is often heated up to temperatures of 45 ° C to 75 ° C.
  • the actual conditions for lime precipitation also depend on the hardness of the water. The harder the water, the lower the temperature at which lime precipitation takes place. It has been shown that preferably rinsing takes place until the temperature is at least below 40 ° C.
  • Further preferred ranges may have the following limit temperatures: less than 60 ° C, less than 50 ° C, less than 35 ° C, from room temperature.
  • a temperature sensor assigned to the throughflow heater can be provided, via which the control unit measures the temperature. Based on the measured value, the control unit decides whether the predetermined setpoint temperature has been reached.

  • a temperature sensor can be any temperature sensing element.
  • This temperature sensor is connected in terms of data to the control device and the measured data are evaluated in the control device to forward signals from there to the rinsing station, so that a forced flushing is performed in dependence on the temperature: the measured temperature falls below the predetermined temperature, closes the control device the rinse station again.

  • the purge valve 330 of the example Fig. 4 may be integrated in the rinsing station 2, not shown in this figure, or form this.
  • This in Fig. 4 Example shown illustrates a drinking and service water installation on the example of a hotel or hospital.
  • a plurality of riser strands 302.1, 302.2, 302.3, which are laid in the vertical direction, are provided, from which ring lines 310 leave in the individual floors.
  • Branch 314 and mouth 316 of the respective ring line 310 are provided on a unitary Ring Arthurs Seriesarmatur 344, which is designed as a branch and connection fitting.
  • the Ring Arthurs Seriesarmatur 344 By means of the Ring Arthurs Seriesarmatur 344, the ring line can be flushed due to a prevailing in the riser pressure difference. Further details of in Fig. 4 shown system are in the European patent application EP 1 845 207 A1 whose disclosure content is incorporated by this reference in the present application.
  • the rinse station 2 are controlled by the controller 12 of the flow heater 1, not shown in this example.
