Description

Title of the invention: Distribution plate device for a domestic hot water tank Technical field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a distribution plate device for a domestic hot water tank. It is particularly applicable in the field of energy. Prior art

[0002] Nowadays, energy is used in our daily lives for various reasons. It is divided into two categories: renewable and non-renewable.

[0003] Humans seek multiple energy solutions for heating and for long-term survival. They require innovative devices or systems that enable them to use energy.

[0004] This is the case with a hot water tank, or water heater, which is a device that stores domestic hot water (DHW) for household needs, generally within a building. It is generally composed of the following elements: a tank, which is the reservoir that contains the water. It is generally made of enameled steel or stainless steel; a heating element, which is a heating element that heats the water. It is generally made of copper or stainless steel; a thermostat, which allows the water temperature to be set. It cuts off the power to the heating element when the water reaches the desired temperature; an air vent, which allows air to be released from the tank; and a pressure regulator, which allows the water pressure to be adjusted. The operation of a hot water tank is simple. Cold water enters the tank from the bottom and is heated by the heating element. The hot water is then stored in the tank until it is used. When hot water is drawn, cold water replaces it..

[0005] However, installing a hot water tank has some disadvantages.

[0006] The installation of the connecting pipes may require construction work, such as drilling through walls.

[0007] During the construction of a house or building, the installation of the various components is carried out by professionals who need a certain amount of time to connect the hot water tank to the various components such as radiators and bathrooms. Presentation of the invention

[0008] The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks with a totally innovative approach.

[0009] More specifically, the invention aims to provide a distribution platinum device for a hot water tank.

[0010] In particular, an objective of the invention is to provide such a technique making it possible to do away with any other complex adjustment system.

[0011] One objective of the invention is to provide such a device, which can be easily adapted to existing systems.

[0012] These objectives, as well as others which will appear subsequently, are achieved, according to a first aspect, by means of a distribution plate device for a domestic hot water tank, said device includes a first cold water inlet, a second hot water inlet, remarkable in that it includes; -a first cold water supply circuit extending between the first cold water inlet and a connection cross comprising four connections, said first circuit comprising a cold water supply valve; - a second circuit extending between the connecting cross and a cold water manifold connected to one of the four connections of the connecting cross, said cold water manifold comprising a plurality of cold water outlets; -a third hot water circuit extending between the second hot water inlet and a hot water manifold, said hot water manifold having a plurality of hot water outlets; the third circuit has a mixer having three connections: the second hot water inlet, the hot water manifold and one of the four circuits of the connection cross; -a fourth circuit extending between one of the connections of the connecting cross and a safety device configured to be connected to a hot water tank; - a support plate supporting the first cold water supply circuit, the second circuit, the third hot water circuit and the fourth circuit.

[0013] Thanks to these arrangements, the distribution plate for a hot water tank has four separate circuits. This device allows for quick installation adapted to specific needs, thus contributing to operational efficiency while also being aesthetically pleasing.

[0014] The mounting plate is pre-assembled, which simplifies and speeds up installation. Rapid installation reduces labor costs. Rapid installation can improve customer satisfaction because it reduces installation-related inconveniences.

[0015] The distribution plate allows the collectors to be grouped on a single support, which frees up space compared to a conventional installation.

[0016] The invention is advantageously implemented according to the embodiments and variants set out below, which are to be considered individually or according to any technically operative combination.

[0017] In one embodiment, said first circuit further comprising a pressure reduction device.

[0018] Thanks to these provisions, the pressure reducer makes it possible to limit the pressure coming out of the cold water inlet valve in the first cold water inlet circuit.

[0019] In one embodiment, the safety device includes a siphon.

[0020] In one embodiment, said support plate is a sheet metal plate. Brief description of the figures

[0021] Other advantages, purposes and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, given for explanatory purposes and in no way as a limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
