Furthermore, this invention relates to an apparatus including at least one evaporation device and / or at least one heat exchanger device. Furthermore, this invention relates to a container including a heat exchanger and a water tank having the container. Background Technology

[0002] Heat exchangers have been known in the art for a long time. Through known heat exchangers, thermal energy can be transferred from one flow of matter to another.

[0003] The disadvantage of known heat exchangers is that they have a certain degree of efficiency that can be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] According to the invention, this objective is achieved by a heat exchanger of the type described at the beginning, wherein the heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger tube and a plurality of tubes penetrating the heat exchanger tube and spaced apart from each other, wherein the heat exchanger tube has twice the number of openings based on the number of tubes, wherein each tube is guided through two of these openings and / or extends through two of these openings and / or connects the two openings to each other, and wherein these tubes are connected to the heat exchanger tube on both sides via their end tube seats.

[0006] In this case, the heat exchanger tubes can be used to heat, warm, and / or evaporate the fluid surrounding the heat exchanger tubes, such as water, air, etc. Preferably, the fluid is a liquid.

[0007] End fittings connect to the heat exchanger tubes at the openings. End fittings can be attached to or connected to the heat exchanger tubes. The inner shell surface of the tube can form a common shell surface or a common surface with the remaining outer shell surface. Preferably, the openings are thus used to receive the tubes, especially their ends.

[0008] The fluid guided in the heat exchanger can be a liquid, water, etc. Preferably, the fluid in the heat exchanger tubes is air.

[0009] Using the heat exchanger according to the invention, the surface area of ​​the heat exchanger tubes can be expanded outwards due to the use of tubes that penetrate the heat exchanger tubes. Therefore, heated or hot fluid (e.g., air) in the heat exchanger tubes can reach the tubes, and the air undergoes a vortex effect in the process.

[0010] Heat exchange through many tubes is the largest because it is most efficient there, and additional circulation occurs in the fluid surrounding the heat exchanger. Air in the heat exchanger tubes comes into contact with the shell surface of the heat exchanger tubes, which is expanded due to the multiple tubes, and transfers heat to the fluid (e.g., liquid) surrounding the heat exchanger tubes.

[0011] Therefore, the efficiency of the heat exchanger can be improved to a certain extent.

[0012] When using a small amount of fluid to be heated, the surface area of ​​the heat exchanger shell increases significantly.

[0013] When multiple tubes are used, heat exchange is at its maximum because it is most efficient there, and additional circulation of the fluid around the heat exchanger occurs, as has been confirmed by experiments.

[0014] Multiple tubes can also be understood as a large number of tubes. Heat exchanger tubes can also be understood as pipes.

[0015] A tube that penetrates a heat exchanger tube is a tube disposed within and / or guided through a heat exchanger. The tube can be hollow, particularly hollow cylindrical. Specifically, the tube is implemented as a round or square tube. Further designs are conceivable.

[0016] Fluids, particularly those in the form of air, can be heated, for example, by a burner arranged on a heat exchanger at the inlet side, wherein the heat exchanger is configured to heat, for example, the fluid surrounding it in a container. Furthermore, a fan can be arranged on the heat exchanger at the outlet side, so that the burner does not have to push air through the heat exchanger, but rather draws air in.

[0017] The connection between the end tube and the heat exchanger tube is achieved or formed by a fluid seal. Due to the fluid seal, it is possible to prevent, for example, air in the heat exchanger tube from mixing with the fluid to be heated, heated, or evaporated.

[0018] A heat exchanger can be an evaporator, and a heat exchange tube can be an evaporator tube.

[0019] Preferably, the opening is arranged along the diametrical direction, and / or the central longitudinal axis of the tube extends orthogonally to the central longitudinal axis of the heat exchanger tube. Due to this arrangement, the vortex effect of hot air in the heat exchanger can be further enhanced.

[0020] The diametrical arrangement can be understood as an arrangement where the central longitudinal axis of the tubes intersects perpendicularly with the central longitudinal axis of the heat exchanger tubes. In other words, the central longitudinal axis of each tube passes through the center of the heat exchanger tubes. Therefore, symmetrical orientation of the tubes relative to the heat exchanger tubes can be achieved.

[0021] More preferably, these tubes are arranged spirally within the heat exchanger tubes. Due to this arrangement, the vortex effect of hot air in the heat exchanger can be further enhanced.

[0022] Spiral settings can also be understood as settings such as volute, rotary, or spiral.

[0023] The tubes can be offset relative to each other and extend spirally within the heat exchanger tubes.

[0024] If the individual tubes are spirally arranged relative to each other in the heat exchanger tubes, then preferably, the openings in the heat exchanger tubes are arranged opposite each other.

[0025] Alternatively, the tube can be guided at an angle through the heat exchanger tube. In other words, the central longitudinal axis of the tube forms an angle with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the heat exchanger tube.

[0026] Preferably, the tubes are offset from each other by an angle α in the axial direction of the heat exchanger tubes, or along the axial direction of the heat exchanger tubes, where the angle α is in the range of 15° to 25°, particularly 20°. In this arrangement, the air in the heat exchanger generates an enhanced vortex effect at the tubes.

[0027] In another preferred embodiment of the heat exchanger according to the invention, the diameter of the tube is in the range of 1 / 6 to 1 / 2 of the heat exchanger tube diameter, particularly 1 / 4. In this arrangement, the air in the heat exchanger generates an enhanced vortex effect at the tube. Particularly preferably, the end tube seat protrudes from the heat exchanger tube at its end. This allows the tube to be easily installed or secured to the heat exchanger tube.

[0028] More preferably, the connection between the end fitting and the heat exchanger tube is a welded connection, a rolled connection, a brazed connection, an adhesive connection, or a press-fit connection. This provides a simple method to achieve a robust and fluid-tight connection.

[0029] Particularly preferably, the heat exchanger tube comprises three tube segments, wherein a second tube segment connects the first and third tube segments to each other, and wherein the first and third tube segments are arranged parallel to each other.

[0030] The first pipe section can be understood as the pipe section on the combustion tube side or the combustion tube itself. The second pipe section can be understood as the connecting pipe. The third pipe section can be understood as the pipe section on the fan side or the fan tube.

[0031] Alternatively, the heat exchanger tubes can also be integrally formed. In this case, the first end section of the heat exchanger tube can be arranged parallel to the second end section of the heat exchanger tube. In this case, the heat exchanger tube has a corresponding curvature or bend.

[0032] Preferably, the heat exchanger includes an attachment plate for connection to the heat exchanger unit and / or the evaporator unit. Due to the attachment plate, the heat exchanger can be inserted into the evaporator unit and the heat exchanger unit. In this case, both the evaporator unit and the heat exchanger unit are required to have a corresponding design for accommodating the attachment plate.

[0033] Particularly preferably, the attachment plate has two openings for accommodating the first and third pipe sections.

[0034] In this configuration, the heat exchanger tubes can be configured such that a first segment of the heat exchanger tube is guided through a first opening in the attachment plate, and a third segment of the heat exchanger tube is guided through a second opening in the attachment plate. This allows both the first and third segments of the heat exchanger tubes to be guided through the same component.

[0035] Preferably, the heat exchanger tubes have 180° bends or are bent multiple times.

[0036] More preferably, the second pipe section includes an auxiliary pipe that penetrates at least the pipe section on the combustion pipe side and the pipe section on the fan side on the housing side, and extends and / or is disposed within the second pipe section.

[0037] If the heat exchanger according to the invention is used to heat a liquid medium, particularly water, it is advantageous that the heat exchanger tube is housed in a tube with a large diameter, in which the liquid medium to be heated flows and around the heat exchanger tube in the process.

[0038] Particularly preferably, the heat exchanger includes a flange with two openings for connection to a gas burner and a fan, wherein the flange is located at the end of a section of the heat exchanger tube. For this purpose, gas burner accessories and fan accessories can be mounted on the flange.

[0042] Preferably, the housing includes at least one opening for inserting a heat exchanger into the evaporation unit and / or for an attachment plate to receive the heat exchanger. This allows the heat exchanger to be easily inserted through the opening in the housing and secured and / or positioned on the housing via the attachment plate. Preferably, the evaporation unit includes a gas burner and / or a fan.

[0043] The present invention also relates to a heat exchanger device having a housing and at least one heat exchanger as described above.

[0045] Furthermore, the present invention relates to equipment comprising at least one evaporation device and / or at least one heat exchanger device.

[0047] Preferably, the device has a frame or support for housing the apparatus. In this case, the evaporator and heat exchanger assembly can be tilted relative to a horizontally extending imaginary plane. The tilt angle can be in the range of greater than 0° to 2.5°, particularly 1.5°.

[0073] Figure 12 : A cross-section of another container according to the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0074] Figure 1 A heat exchanger 1 with heat exchange tubes 2 according to the present invention is shown. The heat exchange tubes 2 are used to heat, heat and / or evaporate the fluid, such as a liquid, surrounding the heat exchange tubes 2.

[0075] The heat exchanger tube 2 includes three tube sections 20, 21, and 22. The second tube section 21 connects the first tube section 20 and the third tube section 22 to each other. In this case, the first tube section 20 and the third tube section 22 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0076] Furthermore, multiple tubes 10 are shown. Tubes 10 penetrate heat exchanger tubes 2, particularly the first tube segment 20 and the third tube segment 22, and are spaced apart from each other. The tubes 10 are spirally arranged within the heat exchanger tubes 2. Depending on the number of tubes 10, the heat exchanger tubes 2 have twice the number of openings arranged diametrically, with each tube 10 either guided through two of these openings or extending through two of these openings. The tubes 10 are connected to the heat exchanger tubes 2 at both sides via their end fittings 11 and 12 in the opening regions. This connection is fluid-tight. Each tube 10 is implemented as a hollow cylindrical tube.

[0077] By providing a tube 10 that penetrates the heat exchanger tube 2, the shell surface of the heat exchanger is significantly enlarged.

[0078] Furthermore, the heat exchanger 1 has an attachment plate 14. The attachment plate 14 has two openings 15 and 16 for receiving a first tube segment 20 and a third tube segment 22 of the heat exchanger tube 2. In this configuration, the heat exchanger 2 is arranged such that the first tube segment 20 of the heat exchanger tube 2 is guided through the first opening 15 of the attachment plate 14, and the third tube segment 22 of the heat exchanger tube 2 is guided through the second opening 16 of the attachment plate 14. The attachment plate 14 is configured to insert and install the heat exchanger 1 into a heat exchanger assembly and / or an evaporator assembly.

[0079] The first pipe segment 20 located at the top of the plane can be understood as the pipe segment on the combustion tube side. The third pipe segment 22 located at the bottom of the plane can be understood as the pipe segment on the fan side. The vertical pipe segment connecting the pipe segment on the combustion tube side to the pipe segment on the fan side can be understood as the second pipe segment 21.

[0080] The second pipe section 21 includes an auxiliary pipe 10', which penetrates at least the pipe section 20 on the combustion pipe side and the pipe section 22 on the fan side on the housing side, and extends within the second pipe section 21. Like pipe 10, pipe 10' is connected to heat exchanger pipe 2 on both sides via its end fittings.

[0081] Furthermore, the heat exchanger 1 has a flange 17 with two openings. The flange 17 is located at the ends of the two pipe sections 20 and 22. The flange 17 is configured to connect a gas burner and a fan at the heat exchanger 1. For this purpose, a gas burner accessory 18 and a fan accessory 19 are provided on the flange 17.

[0082] The direction of air delivery for heating via a gas burner (not shown) is indicated by arrow P1. The direction of delivery for cooling air drawn in via a fan (not shown) is indicated by arrow P2.

[0083] Using the heat exchanger 1 according to the invention, the surface of the heat exchanger tube 2 can be expanded outward due to the use of the tube 10 that penetrates the heat exchanger tube 2. Therefore, heated or hot air in the heat exchanger tube 2 can reach the tube 10, and the air undergoes a vortex effect in the process.

[0084] Among the many tubes 10, the heat exchange is the largest because it is most efficient there, and additional circulation occurs in the liquid surrounding the heat exchanger 1. The air in the heat exchanger comes into contact with the shell surface of the heat exchanger tube 2, which is expanded by the multiple tubes 10, and transfers heat to the liquid surrounding the heat exchanger tube 2 of the heat exchanger 1.

[0085] Figure 2 A side view of the heat exchanger 1 is shown, which also shows the areas of the individual pipes 10 and 20 that are not actually visible. Optionally, the first and third pipe sections 20 and 22 may also include connecting pipe sections 3 and 4 to allow the first and third pipe sections 20 and 22 to be attached to flange 17.

[0086] Figure 3 It shows Figure 2 Detail A. As described above, based on the number of tubes 10, the heat exchanger tube 2 has twice the number of openings 5 ​​and 6, arranged along the diameter, wherein each tube 10 is guided through two of these openings 5 ​​and 6. In this case, the central longitudinal axis 13 of the tube 10 extends orthogonally to the central longitudinal axis 9 of the heat exchanger tube 2. The diameter of the tube 10 is approximately 1 / 5 of the diameter of the heat exchanger tube 2. This results in an enhanced vortex effect of air in the heat exchanger tube 2 at the tube 10.

[0087] Furthermore, the end fittings 11 and 12 of each tube 10 protrude slightly on both sides of the heat exchanger tube 2. This allows for welded, rolled, or crimped connections between the end fittings 11 and 12 and the heat exchanger tube 2 in a simple manner.

[0088] Figure 4 It shows Figure 1 The cross section AA. In the axial direction of heat exchanger tube 2, tube 10 is offset relative to each other at an angle α of approximately 20°. This allows for an enhanced vortex effect of air in heat exchanger tube 2 at tube 10.

[0089] The central longitudinal axis 13 of tube 10 intersects the central longitudinal axis 9 of heat exchanger tube 2 at a right angle.

[0090] Figure 5 It shows according to Figure 1 The heat exchanger 1 of the present invention is shown from the bottom view, which also shows the areas of the individual tubes 10 that are not actually visible.

[0091] Figure 6 A perspective view of an evaporation apparatus 30 according to the present invention is shown. The evaporation apparatus 30 has a housing 31 and a condenser 34. The housing 31 includes at least one opening 32. The opening 32 is for inserting a heat exchanger 1 into the evaporation apparatus 30, and for... Figures 1 to 5 The attachment plate 14 of the heat exchanger 1 is fixed to the housing 31. Inside the housing 31 is the fluid to be evaporated, especially a liquid.

[0092] Therefore, the heat exchanger 1 can be housed in the housing 31 by means of its integrated attachment plate 14.

[0093] The evaporator 30 is configured to deliver steam to a condenser 34 via at least one narrow conduit 33. The condenser 34 includes deflector plates that deflect the steam to the side and condense it due to the cooling process. The condensate produced in this process can be collected by corresponding channels 35 on both sides of the housing 31 and can be guided to a piping system 36. In this case, the piping system 36 can be designed as a siphon. Due to the siphon design, a back pressure is generated in the evaporator 30 to enhance the evaporation effect.

[0094] exist Figure 7 The image shows a perspective view of a heat exchanger device 40 according to the present invention. The heat exchanger device 40 has a housing 41. The housing 41 includes at least one opening 42. The opening 42 is for inserting a heat exchanger 1 into the heat exchanger device 40, and for... Figures 1 to 5 The attachment plate 14 of the heat exchanger 1 is fixed to the housing 41. Inside the housing 41 is the fluid to be heated and / or evaporated, especially a liquid.

[0095] The heat exchanger unit 40 is designed as a closed container in which the heat exchanger 1 can be installed. When the heat exchanger 1 is installed, waste heat can be redirected, for example, from the evaporator 30 through the heat exchanger unit 40, thereby preheating the liquid, which is then directed into the evaporator 30.

[0096] exist Figure 8 The figure shows a perspective view of a device 50 according to the present invention. As shown, the device 50 includes a frame or support 51 for housing according to the present invention. Figure 6 Evaporation device 30 and according to Figure 7 The heat exchanger assembly 40. The evaporator 30 includes a gas burner 24 and a fan 25. The heat exchanger assembly 40 has two attachment points 43 and 44.

[0097] The device 50 is designed such that the evaporator 30 and the heat exchanger 40 are housed within a frame / support 51. Devices 30 and 40 can be stacked in any manner. Both devices 30 and 40 can be connected to conduits to transfer liquid from the heat exchanger 40 to the evaporator 30.

[0098] Both the evaporator 30 and the heat exchanger 40 can be mounted in the frame / support 51 at an angle of approximately 1.5°, allowing the condensate generated in the heat exchanger 40 to flow out.

[0099] The gas burner 24, fan 25, and attachments 43 and 44 are designed such that they each have the same accessories, so that they can be installed as needed in the device 50 on the flange 17 of the heat exchanger 1.

[0100] In this configuration, burner 24 and fan 25 are mounted on evaporator 30. Furthermore, fan 25 is connected via attachment 43. As a result, exhaust heat is directed and / or forced through heat exchanger assembly 40.

[0101] However, under the current circumstances, the fan 25 can also be interchanged with the attachment 43, and the two attachments 43 and 44 can be connected. In this case, exhaust gas will also be drawn through the heat exchanger assembly 40.

[0102] Advantageously, for example, several heat exchanger units 40 can be connected to each other to achieve improved heat output.

[0103] Figure 9 A container 100, specifically a water container, is shown. The container 100 includes a housing 101 with a lid 102. The housing 101 is cylindrical and has a bottom. Furthermore, the container 100 includes heat exchanger tubes 2.

[0104] The heat exchanger tube 2 has several tube segments 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28 and 29. Tube segments 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28 and 29 of the heat exchanger tube 2 are numbered consecutively in the conveying direction and / or flow direction (arrows P1 and P2).

[0105] In pipe segments 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, and 29, four segments 20, 22, 27, and 29 are arranged parallel to or coaxial with each other within the container 100 relative to the central longitudinal axis. Two segments 20 and 22 connect to segment 21, which is implemented as a 180° elbow. Two segments 22 and 27 connect to segment 26, which is implemented as a 180° elbow. Two segments 27 and 29 connect to segment 28, which is implemented as a 180° elbow.

[0106] For clarity, Figure 9 The inlet and outlet are not shown. Based on... Figure 9 of Figure 10 The image shows the inlet 111 and the outlet 112.

[0107] In addition to the cylindrical outer shell 101, the container 100 also includes, for example, Figure 11 The cover 102 is shown. For connecting the cover 102 to the outer casing 101 of the container 100, a seal 103 and a threaded connection 104 are provided. The cover 102 has an accessory for the gas burner 24 and an accessory for the fan 25. Furthermore, the cover 102 has an inlet 111 and an outlet 112. A flexible tube 105 can be provided at the inlet 111. A flexible tube 106 can be provided at the outlet 112.

[0108] Figure 11 The shape of the heat exchanger tube 2 shown is actually not visible, but it has been included in the figure for better understanding.

[0109] The container 100 is configured to heat or warm water introduced into or supplied to the container 100 via the heat exchanger tube 2 through the inlet 111. In this process, water with an initial temperature at the inlet 111 is supplied to the container 100 via the inlet 111 in the flow direction according to arrow P3 so as to be heated or warmed in the container 100.

[0110] Furthermore, container 100 is configured to discharge or convey heated or warmed water through outlet 112. During this process, the heated or warmed water is conveyed out of container 100 through outlet 112 in the flow direction according to arrow P4. In this case, the water at the outlet has a final temperature higher than the initial temperature.

[0111] To deliver water into container 10 and out of container 100, a pump (not shown) may be used. Arrows P1 and P4, as well as arrows P2 and P3, point in opposite directions, such that their delivery and / or flow directions are in opposite directions.

[0112] As water flows through container 100, it is continuously heated by waste heat and / or heat exchange tube 2. In this way, water in, for example, a pool, especially a swimming pool or pool pond, can be heated and / or made warmer.

[0113] In a further improvement to container 100, a baffle plate is disposed inside container 100. This baffle plate guides the water flowing into the inlet, forcing the water to flow near the heat exchanger tubes 20 as it passes through the container. The water first flows along tube segment 29, then along tube segment 28, then along tube segment 27, then along tube segment 26, then along tube segment 22, then along tube segment 21, and finally exits the container via outlet 112, where it can then be further used. Thus, the water can be heated very efficiently.

[0114] In a further improvement of the container according to the invention, the container includes a tube housing a heat exchanger tube 20, through which water to be heated flows and around the heat exchanger tube 20. During this process, the water to be heated flows around the entire surface of the heat exchanger tube, and also flows through the tube 10 that penetrates the heat exchanger tube 20. A schematic diagram of such a device is shown below. Figure 12 As shown. In this case, the container or pipe housing the heat exchanger tube 20 is indicated by reference numeral 100'. The water flowing in the tube 100' is indicated by reference numeral 115.
