Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water distribution for a building with a circulation line for drinking water, a water distributor for a part of the building and a supply line branching off from the circulation line in a connection area, which connects the circulation line to the water distributor.
  • the domestic hot water is heated at one point in the building, from where it reaches the consumers via a common pipeline network.
  • the heating system usually provides water with a temperature of approx. 60 ° C. So that the water inside the pipes does not cool down too far to the consumer, they are insulated. If hot water is not required for a longer period of time, it will cool down anyway. Especially with large distances between the heating system and the consumer, it then takes a long time for the pipes to be flushed and for the consumer to have hot water. For this reason, in multi-storey buildings, the pipe network is often equipped with a circulation pipe with flow and return. Branch from the circulation line, e.g. B. on floors, supply lines leading to hot water distributors. With these in turn, the reference locations, for. B. the taps connected. The supply lines have no circulation.
  • the distance between the branch point on the circulation line and the hot water distributor of the building part or the floor is often approx. 1 - 3 m, but in some cases also 3 - 5 m or even more. Since the hot water does not circulate in the corresponding supply line, the temperature of the hot water continuously decreases from the circulation line to the hot water distributor, despite convective flows in the supply line. With energy-efficient hot water provision using a heat pump, the water temperature in the circulation line is approx. 60 ° C. The temperature in the hot water distributor can drop significantly below 50 ° C, especially after long dispensing breaks. This leads to hygiene problems and the water temperature at the reference locations can be too low for certain uses. There is also a delay in hot water supply because the relatively cool water in the supply line and in the hot water distributor must first flow out.
  • the distribution of cold water can also be carried out analogously, but circulation is often omitted here.
  • the cold water pipe with circulation there are effects with of different signs: The cold water cannot be obtained at the originally provided temperature, but is partially preheated due to the higher temperature in the vicinity of the supply line and the water distributor.
  • the electrical heating of the hot water distributor or the supply line is also known, in particular by means of so-called heating tapes.
  • this requires a power supply line, entails increased installation costs and increases the total energy requirement.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a water distribution belonging to the technical field mentioned at the outset, which is easy to install and energy-efficient and avoids excessive cooling or heating of the water in the sections branching off from the circulation line.
  • the water distribution comprises a heat conduction device, which is independent of the supply line, for conducting heat between the circulation line or the connection area and the water distributor.
  • a heat conduction device which is independent of the supply line, for conducting heat between the circulation line or the connection area and the water distributor.
  • heat is transported from the circulation line to the water distributor (for hot water) or from the water distributor to the circulation line (for cold water).
  • the heat transport between the circulation line and the water distributor which otherwise only takes place through convective flows in the supply line, is considerably supported.
  • independent of the supply line means that in addition to the supply line (in which heat conduction also takes place due to the temperature differences present), an additional heat conductor is present, which is independent of the water-carrying element of the supply line (e.g. a pipe or a hose) and of the medium carried in the supply line.
  • the heat conducting device can be mechanically coupled to the supply line, and a certain thermal exchange is also possible.
  • connection area comprises the fitting with which the supply line is coupled to the circulation line and the immediately adjacent area of the supply line. It is crucial for the invention that the heat conduction device is coupled in a region which has a temperature which essentially corresponds to the local temperature in the circulation line, preferably the temperature at the coupling point of the heat conduction device should be at most 4 ° C. in particular a maximum of 2 ° C, lower or a maximum of 4 ° C, in particular a maximum of 2 ° C, higher than in the circulation line when connecting the supply line.
  • Water distributors generally have a relatively large mass, so that keeping them warm or keeping them cold has a significant influence on the temperature profile in the line sections between the circulation line and the reference points.
  • the power loss that occurs between the circulation line and the water distributor is fed back (hot water) or discharged (cold water), so that the temperature in the water distributor can be kept in a desired range.
  • hot water hot water
  • cold water discharged
  • there are also lower temperature fluctuations in the water distributor which in particular also reduces fluctuations in the water temperature at the reference points.
  • the solution according to the invention is particularly advantageous in connection with the hot water supply.
  • the circulation pipe transports hot water and the heat conduction device conducts heat from the circulation line or the connection area to the water distributor.
  • Tests have shown that with a feed temperature of 60 ° C in the supply line to the water distributor and in the supply line between the circulation line and the water distributor, a temperature of at least 50 ° C can be reliably maintained. If hot water is heated in an energy-efficient manner with a heat pump that has a coefficient of performance (COP) of approx. 4, this results in a power saving of approx. 75% compared to direct electrical heating of the water distributor. Calculations have shown that compared to a solution with heating tapes, up to 90 kWh of electrical energy can be saved per floor and year.
  • COP coefficient of performance
  • a temperature of at least 50 ° C is of great advantage because Legionella bacteria found in drinking water multiply particularly well at temperatures between 25 ° C and 45 ° C, while at least 50 ° C no longer occurs and the bacteria from 55 ° C can be killed.
  • the solution can also be used to keep a cold water distributor cold.
  • the circulation line transports cold water and the heat conduction device conducts heat from the water distributor or the connection area to the circulation line. If both a circulating cold and a circulating hot water supply are available, heat-conducting devices for cooling the cold water distributor and for heating the hot water distributor can be present in parallel. If a combined cold / hot water distributor is available, the hot water section can be heated and the cold water section cooled accordingly.
  • a combined water distributor which is designed for the distribution of both hot water and cold water, comprises a housing which isolates between a hot water part and a cold water part having. This minimizes the heat transfer between the (optionally tempered) hot water part and (optionally tempered) cold water part.
  • the water distribution there is a circulation line for hot water, but not one for cold water.
  • the heat conduction device is arranged between the circulation line and the hot water part of the water distributor in order to temper it and to minimize the temperature drop in the hot water supply between the circulation line and the water distributor.
  • the cold water part of the water distributor which is supplied directly from a cold water pipe, is thermally insulated from the hot water section.
  • the heat conducting device advantageously comprises a heat pipe. It is an elongated tubular structure with a hermetically sealed interior, in which a certain amount of a working medium is contained.
  • the pressure inside the heat pipe is typically lower than the ambient pressure and adapted to the working temperature of the specific heat pipe. Areas for heat transfer are formed at the beginning and at the end of the structure.
  • a portion of the working medium evaporates, and the steam flows to the opposite end, the heat sink, due to the pressure drop that arises.
  • the steam condenses there, so that heat of condensation is released and the previously absorbed latent heat can be released via the heat transfer area.
  • the heat transfer is passive, i. H. there is no pumping device and no additional external energy input is required.
  • the heat pipe is particularly preferably a so-called heat pipe.
  • This uses the wick principle or capillarity to bring the condensed working medium back to the heat source.
  • the heat pipe has the advantage that it works regardless of the position and that the risk of the source drying out is minimized and that the achievable heat flow is increased. Due to a vertical or inclined arrangement, the gravitational force can also be used to return the medium even with a heat pipe. It has been shown that in the present application, a slight inclination of the heat pipe by, for example, 1-5 ° (increasing from the warmer to the cooler end) improves the properties of the heat pipe.
  • Water is preferably used as the working medium.
  • the pressure in the closed interior is selected so that the resulting boiling point of the working medium is matched to the temperatures to be expected.
  • the heat pipe comprises at least two heat pipes and a connecting piece for the mechanical and thermal connection of an end of a first of the heat pipes to a start of a second of the heat pipes.
  • the heat given off by one heat pipe is transferred to the other heat pipe via the connecting piece or a heat-conducting part thereof.
  • the connector is, for example, a profile made of a metal with good heat conduction (e.g. aluminum or copper), which has receiving openings for the two heat pipes. The latter are then recorded with their end or beginning in these receiving openings. Conductive paste is advantageously applied between the outer jacket of the heat pipes and the inner jacket of the receiving openings, so that unhindered heat transfer can take place.
  • a metal with good heat conduction e.g. aluminum or copper
  • the supply line can also be mechanically coupled to the connecting piece; this creates a simple and safe (additional) fastening for the heat pipe in the area of the connecting piece. Additionally or alternatively, thermal coupling can also take place between the connecting piece and the supply line. Depending on the expected temperature profile in the supply line, this results in local heat emission or absorption, which leads to a more uniform temperature profile lead in the supply line or support the heat transport through the heat pipe.
  • two or more heat pipes can each be connected in a different way, e.g. B. by a braze joint.
  • the heat-conducting device advantageously interacts with a region of a return of the circulation line. Compared to an arrangement at the flow, this avoids that a heat supply from a hot water circulation line or a heat supply to a cold water circulation line leads to an unwanted cooling or heating of the circulated service water for consumers connected to downstream supply lines.
  • the line cross-sections of the return are generally significantly smaller than those of the flow / riser. Accordingly, the complexity and the cost of materials for the connection of the heat conduction device are considerably reduced. Finally, any pressure losses due to additional components in the riser are avoided.
  • the return temperature is checked and a circulation flow is adjusted in such a way that a minimum return temperature is maintained or exceeded. This can be done by a circulation regulating valve which is known per se and which increases the flow when the return temperature drops.
  • pumps with adjustable output can be used, which are controlled using data from a temperature sensor.
  • the water distribution advantageously comprises a transmission piece which can be mechanically attached to the circulation line and / or in the connection area on the supply line and can be connected to the heat-conducting device and comprises a connecting element made of heat-conducting material, which in the assembled state of the Transfer piece contacted both the circulation line and / or the supply line and the heat conduction device.
  • This transition piece enables efficient heat transfer between the circulation line and the heat conduction device, and it can also be designed such that it can be easily mounted on the circulation line and / or the adjoining section of the supply line.
  • the heat-conducting device is preferably attached by a clamp connection.
  • the transmission piece comprises two half-shell-like elements, which together form an elongated, e.g. B. cylindrical, end portion of the heat conduction device.
  • the two half-shell-like elements are braced against each other and the end section, so that a secure mechanical fastening with good heat transfer results.
  • the heat conduction device is coupled directly to the circulation line and / or the connection area of the supply line, e.g. B. via a braze joint.
  • the transfer piece comprises a T-piece section, which is built into the circulation line, and a heat transfer section connected to the T-piece section, in which the connecting element is arranged.
  • the T-piece section is designed in such a way that drinking water is conducted from the circulation line into the heat transfer section and from there back again downstream into the circulation line. This enables an increase in the contact area available for heat exchange and thus a greater heat transfer.
  • the water distribution advantageously comprises a bypass line to bypass the transfer piece and a valve for selective activation of the bypass line when a minimum volume flow is exceeded. If the minimum circulation volume flow is exceeded, in particular because water is being drawn off, the bypass line is activated and the portion exceeding the minimum volume flow is led directly through the bypass line. As a result, the flow loss through the diversion in the transfer piece can be reduced.
  • the minimum volume flow can correspond to the minimum circulation volume flow or it can be selected to be somewhat higher, so that the bypassing of the transfer piece is triggered only with larger tapping quantities.
  • Suitable valves are known per se, for example based on the Venturi principle or dynamic differential pressure elements.
  • the transfer piece With an arrangement of the transfer piece in the flow of the circulation line, it is advantageous if the transfer piece has an output for connecting the supply line.
  • the transmission piece can then be used instead of the usual fitting for connecting the supply line. Retrofitting is simplified and new buildings result in a lower number of required components and thus lower costs, a reduced space requirement and less assembly effort.
  • the transfer piece is arranged in the return of the circulation line, no outlet for the supply line is required in the transfer piece. However, it is still possible to constructively combine the transfer piece for the return with a branch from the flow into the supply line. In this way, the individual fluid-conducting and thermal connections to and from the circulation line can be created with a single component for a building part.
  • the heat-conducting device is preferably arranged adjacent to the supply line. This ensures that the space required is minimized, and the supply line can also be used for fastening and / or mechanical stabilization of the heat conducting device if necessary.
  • the heat-conducting device comprises a transfer piece, in which a section of the return of the circulation line is guided, and a heat pipe as a heat-conducting device, which is thermally and mechanically coupled to the transfer piece.
  • the heat pipe is essentially parallel to the water supply line at a short distance from the water distributor; it advantageously rises slightly from the transfer piece.
