Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water pressure regulating equipment for heating systems, in particular to an expansion device for a pressure-free closed heating system. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of the expansion tank is that when pressurized water from the outside enters the expansion tank airbag, the nitrogen sealed in the tank is compressed. According to Boyle's gas law, the volume of the gas decreases and the pressure increases after compression. Water will stop entering the expansion tank when the gas pressure reaches the same level as the water pressure. When the water loses and the pressure decreases, the gas pressure in the expansion tank is greater than the water pressure. At this time, the air pressure in the tank squeezes the water in the airbag out and replenishes it into the system.

[0003] However, the equipment structure of the prior art is complex, inconvenient to maintain, large in size, and expensive. The internal air bag of the expansion tank is easily damaged during welding, and welding slag is easy to enter the tank. The flange valve at the bottom of the tank body is easy to damage the air bag, and the water pressure regulation effect of the pressureless closed system is poor.

[0004] In addition, the expansion tank shell on the market has a rubber diaphragm that divides the internal space into two parts, the water storage chamber and the air storage chamber. Long-term water inflow will cause rust inside the tank, and the rust-mixed water will re-enter the system, affecting the water quality of the entire system. The pressure change in the air storage chamber will also affect the water storage chamber. Excessive pressure will also cause danger and is not practical. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the contents of this invention, those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and that these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0024] The present invention is a pressure-free closed expansion device for a heating system. The main structure includes a hollow shell 1. The shell 1 is made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, which can protect and fix the internal elastic capsule 4. It can be made into a circle or other shape according to the system requirements. The top of the shell 1 is provided with an openable top cover 2, which is convenient for observing and repairing the elastic capsule 4 inside the shell 1. The bottom of the shell 1 is connected with a connecting pipe 3, which is fixedly connected with the system water pipe through a thread. The bottom of the shell 1 is provided with an elastic capsule 4, which is sealed as a whole. Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the shell 1 is symmetrically provided with fixing members 5, and the fixing members 5 can be glued or hooked, so that the two sides of the elastic capsule 4 are respectively bonded or hung with two fixing members 5, so that the two sides of the elastic capsule 4 are in a state of being hung high on the inner wall of the shell 1, which plays a guiding role in the expansion of the elastic capsule 4, prompting the elastic capsule 4 to expand toward the top of the shell 1 after being filled with water. The connecting pipe 3 is connected to the inside of the elastic capsule 4, so that the water expanded by the system flows into the elastic capsule 4 through the connecting pipe 3, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, a compression component connected to the top of the elastic capsule 4 is provided in the shell 1. The compression component can be a trapezoidal counterweight 6 or a spring 7, which can compress the empty elastic capsule 4 to ensure the minimum water filling volume in the elastic capsule 4 during the system water injection period and maintain the maximum expansion water capacity during the operation of the expander. The compression component can compress the elastic capsule 4 to seal the connecting pipe 3, and the elastic capsule 4 needs to push the compression component upward after expanding with water, which also guides the expansion of the elastic capsule 4 to a certain extent.

[0025] Preferably, an air vent 8 is provided at the bottom of the shell 1, and the air vent 8 is located outside the elastic capsule 4, so that the interior of the shell 1 is connected to the atmospheric environment. When the elastic capsule 4 expands and contracts, the air in the shell 1 can be discharged or air can be sucked into the shell 1 in time through the air vent 8, so as to stabilize the internal pressure of the shell 1 and avoid the air pressure in the shell 1 affecting the expansion of the elastic capsule 4. The accumulated water in the device can also be discharged through the air vent 8 to prevent the expansion device from rusting. In this way, the maximum expansion range of the elastic capsule 4 is the entire internal space of the shell 1, so it can accommodate more expansion water of the heating system, so that the volume of the expansion device is smaller than that of other expansion tanks at the same expansion amount, and no additional nitrogen filling is required, and the structure is simpler.

[0026] Preferably, the connecting pipe 3 is connected with a closed water tank 9 at one end away from the shell 1, which can be used as a pressure stabilizing device and a water supplement device in the unit type closed heating system without pressure, saving space and having high utilization rate.

[0027] Preferably, the installation height of the fixing member 5 is not less than half of the overall height of the shell 1, which can better guide the expansion of the elastic capsule 4 and avoid the deviation of the elastic capsule 4 after expansion.
