An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a suitable installation method for a water heater and a heater, which can be installed in a narrow space with sufficient space.

[0005]

That is, the present invention according to claim 1 is a method of installing a water heater and a heater side by side, wherein the water heater and the heater are vertically connected to each other. I did it.

Further, the present invention according to claim 2 is a method of installing a water heater and a heater side by side, wherein the water heater and the heater are vertically stacked, and both sides of the water heater and the heater are arranged. The surfaces are fixed by connecting plates, and the front and rear parts are fixed by bolts and nuts in the knockout holes, so that the water heater and the heater are integrated.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the water heater and the heater are vertically connected to each other, the space in the lateral direction is saved and the installation space of the device is reduced to half or less.

Further, according to the present invention as set forth in claim 2, in the equipment arranged vertically, both side surfaces of the equipment are fixed by connecting plates, and further knockout holes at the front and rear portions are secured by bolts and nuts. Fixed to.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a schematic configuration of a combustor such as a hot water heater and a heater will be described by taking a gas hot water supply dedicated machine shown in FIG. 1 as an example.

The water heater 1 is a combustor for supplying hot water to a room, a bathroom, etc., and a heat exchanger case 11 forming a combustion chamber is installed in a casing 10 thereof. A burner 12 is arranged inside the.
A finned pipe 13 for heat exchange is provided above the burner 12 to configure a heating device of the gas water heater 1. A blower fan 14 is provided below the heat exchanger case 11 so that the air drawn into the casing 10 from an air supply port 10a formed in the casing 10 is sent to the combustion section of the burner 12. ing. On the other hand, an exhaust port 5 for discharging the combustion gas generated by the burner 12 to the outside is provided on the upper part of the heat exchanger case 11, and the exhaust port 5 penetrates the casing 10 to the outside of the device. It is projected.

The end of the finned pipe 13 constituting the heating device on the upstream side (water supply pipe) is connected to the water pipe through the water supply port 3, and the end on the downstream side (hot water supply pipe) is It is connected to the faucet 15 installed in the room or the like through the hot water supply port 4. Further, a gas supply pipe 16 is drawn into the casing 10 from below to supply combustion gas to the burner 12.

The above is the schematic structure of the water heater 1, but the heater is also substantially the same structure as this water heater. That is, in the case of a heater, although not shown, the end of the finned pipe on the downstream side (heating outward pipe line) is connected to a radiator such as a fan convector or a floor heating panel installed in the room, It is designed to supply hot water of high temperature to the radiator, and the hot water that has finished heat exchange with this radiator goes through the circulation pump for heating water circulation to the end of the upstream side (heating return pipe line) of the finned pipe. Connected to the department.

FIG. 2 is an external view showing an embodiment of the present invention in which the above-mentioned water heater and heater are installed vertically, (a) is a front view,
(b) is a side view.

In this embodiment, a heater 2 which is slightly smaller than the water heater 1 is mounted on the water heater 1. Therefore, in the water heater 1 on the lower side, the exhaust port 5, the water supply port 3, the hot water supply port 4, etc. are drawn out to the rear part of the equipment, the water supply port 3 is provided near the floor where the water supply port is installed, and the hot water supply port 4 is provided at the upper part. The exhaust port 5 is arranged, and the heater 2 arranged on the upper side of the hot water supply device 1 has a conventional structure in which an exhaust port and a hot water supply port are provided on the upper surface of the device.

The equipment is installed by first mounting the heater 2 on the water heater 1, and then connecting the plate 6 in which a metal plate is bent in steps,
6 is fastened to the both sides of the device with four bolts 7, and two knockout holes 8 provided at the front part and the rear part of the device are bolted at two places on the left and right to completely integrate the upper and lower devices. The knock-out hole 8 is a standard bolt hole provided on the bottom plate of the device as a fixing bolt hole when the water heater 1 and the heater 2 are separately installed.
The connection mechanism of the device is simplified by diverting the connection.

As described above, the water heater 1 and the heater 2
By vertically arranging, the space for the equipment that was conventionally installed side by side and the space required for the piping work become unnecessary, and without the extremely difficult means of downsizing the equipment body, The installation space can be saved to less than half (substantially 1/3 to 1/4) of the conventional method. Particularly in the case of the indoor installation type, since the user wants to save the installation space as much as possible, the installation method of the water heater 1 and the heater 2 becomes extremely simple and effective.

Further, in this embodiment, the water heater 1 in which the water supply port 3 is indispensable is arranged on the lower side, and the water supply port 3 is provided near the floor to facilitate the piping work. However, the top-bottom relationship of the devices to be installed is not limited to this.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention as set forth in claim 1, by arranging the water heater and the heater vertically, the space in the lateral direction of the equipment can be saved. Since the installation space is less than half compared to such horizontal installation, it is extremely convenient for the user especially in the case of indoor installation type equipment.

Further, according to the present invention as set forth in claim 2, since the knockout holes which are standard equipment of the equipment can be used for fixing the upper and lower equipment, the equipment connecting mechanism is simplified and the installation work is performed. Will also be easier.
