Compact Climate Control Apparatus for Simplified Installation
Here’s PatSnap Eureka !
Summary
Problems
Hybrid condensing boilers face challenges in space occupation and installation complexity, particularly when replacing old wall-mounted boilers, due to the need for both a boiler body and an accumulation compartment receptacle, which complicates practical and cost-effective installation.
Innovation solutions
A compact climate control apparatus design that integrates a boiler assembly with a heat pump and an accommodation compartment for the accumulation tank and hydraulic separator, allowing for wall-coupling and reduced installation time by providing a compact and simplified installation solution, utilizing a condensing boiler and heat pump system.

General conflict description:
Principle concept:
If a traditional wall-mounted boiler is replaced with a hybrid condensing boiler system, then the system provides optimized heating performance and energy efficiency, but the space occupation increases and installation complexity increases due to the need for separate boiler body and accumulation compartment
Why choose this principle:
The patent combines the boiler body and accumulation compartment into a single integrated unit. The accommodation compartment serves dual purposes: it acts as both the accumulation tank and the structural support for mounting the boiler body, eliminating the need for separate installation spaces and reducing overall footprint.
Principle concept:
If a traditional wall-mounted boiler is replaced with a hybrid condensing boiler system, then the system provides optimized heating performance and energy efficiency, but the space occupation increases and installation complexity increases due to the need for separate boiler body and accumulation compartment
Why choose this principle:
The accommodation compartment is designed as a multi-functional element that simultaneously serves as the accumulation tank for thermal energy storage and as the structural support framework for mounting the boiler body. This universal design reduces the number of separate components needed and simplifies installation.
