Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of hot water units, and in particular relates to a water pipe type vacuum hot water unit. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum hot water units are generally divided into two parts: the lower part is a centrally combusted shell steam boiler, consisting of the flue and furnace shell as the heating surface; the upper part is a vacuum chamber created by vacuum extraction, containing a tubular steam-water heat exchanger to heat the circulating water flowing through it. Its working principle utilizes the fact that water has different steam temperatures under different pressures, causing the heat transfer medium water to boil under vacuum. The resulting steam then exchanges heat with the cold or warm water flowing in the heat transfer tubes, thus providing hot water for heating. The entire unit operates under vacuum, offering superior safety and ease of operation compared to traditional hot water boilers. However, the existing unit structure is relatively complex and difficult to operate, limiting the market promotion of vacuum hot water units. Utility Model Content

[0021] In this embodiment, the convection tube bundle 14 is U-shaped and arranged horizontally. The first water outlet pipe 10 is connected to the lower right side of the water inlet distribution platform 27, and the return water branch pipe 15 is connected to the upper right side of the water outlet distribution platform 28.
[0022] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 2 is composed of multiple hollow tubes arranged vertically, and the heat transfer medium water in the vacuum chamber 29 flows into the hollow tubes.
[0023] In this embodiment, a first water outlet valve 11 is provided on the first water outlet pipe 10, a first water inlet valve 9 is provided on the first water inlet pipe 8, a first water return pipe 12 is also connected to the first water outlet pipe 10, and a first water return valve 13 is provided on the first water return pipe 12.

[0025] In this embodiment, a chimney 5 is connected to the outside of the right side of the combustion chamber 1, and the diameter of the left side of the chimney 5 is larger than the diameter of the right side.
