Embodiment Construction

[0037]FIGS. 1a and 1b show a heated water distributing apparatus 32 according to the present invention. FIG. 2 shows that the apparatus 32 has a cold water inlet fitting 21 for connection to a filtered and treated water source (not shown) as a potable fresh water source. The apparatus 32 also has a hot water outlet fitting 23 that delivers domestic hot water at a predetermined temperature, which is set about 120° F. The domestic hot water outlet fitting 23 normally supplies the household potable hot water via potable hot water taps or any plumbing fixtures that use potable hot water.

[0038]FIG. 3 shows that the apparatus 32 has a water inlet fitting 24 that is connected to an outlet 2 of a water heating system 31. The apparatus 32 has a water outlet fitting 22 that is connected to an inlet 1 of the water heating system 31 for replenishing unheated water.

[0039] The water heating system 31 is an on demand flow through tankless water heater, and uses gas (Natural gas or Propane gas) o...

Abstract

A combined domestic hot water supply and space heating system includes a single water heating system, one or more space heating systems and a heated fluid distribution apparatus. The apparatus has piping that provides communication between the apparatus, the water heating system, the space heating system, a fresh water source, and a house tap. The apparatus also includes a by-pass heat exchanger that has a heat source side that communicates with the water heating system, and a space heating system side that communicates with the space heating system.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is related to a system that provides both domestic hot water and space heating. More particularly, the invention is related to an apparatus that properly distributes heated water from a singe water heating system to domestic hot water and closed loop space heating applications. [0002] Most building or houses that require a domestic hot water supply as well as space heating use separate appliances for each purpose. For example, a conventional tank type gas water heater or an electric water heater has been used for domestic hot water supply. Conventional tank type gas heater or electric heater has disadvantage that it takes significant amount of space and it continuously lose heat energy due to its stand. [0003] Conventionally, when space heating is required, a separate furnace or any hydronic space heater has been used. The furnace or heater has its own gas burner or electric heating element. This scheme is inefficient and wast...
