Abstract

The invention relates to a shower drain system (1) with a stepped flow redirection, counterflow heat recovery, passive discharge safety and serviceable heat exchanger arrangement for transferring thermal energy from the waste water resulting from shower use to clean water. The system includes a stepped waste water flow path that directs the waste water through successive different sections of the thermal energy transfer zone (14) within the low-profile heat exchanger main body (2) and a clean water counterflow path (19) that creates a counterflow of clean water within a closed clean water heat transfer channel (16) that is physically separated from the waste water by a leak-proof clean water-waste water separation wall (36).While ensuring the transfer of thermal energy from the wastewater to the clean water via the heat transfer surface (15), under normal operating conditions, the wastewater is discharged through the thermal recovery normal discharge passage (23), and the discharge of wastewater to the passive safety bypass discharge passage (24) is limited. If the available hydraulic capacity of the stepped wastewater flow path or the thermal recovery normal discharge passage (23) decreases, or if the wastewater flow exceeds the normal discharge capacity, and the wastewater level reaches the raised hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25), at least a portion of the wastewater is transferred through the passive bypass overflow acceptance zone (26) to the passive safety bypass discharge passage (24). In this way, thermal energy recovery is supported through the stepped flow, while the continuity of discharge is ensured by the passive hydraulic working relationship in conditions where the hydraulic capacity of the said flow path is insufficient.The system also includes a removable service cover (31) and a removable heat exchanger module (33) which facilitate maintenance and cleaning operations.

State of the Art: 4 Nowadays, heating is essential in residential buildings, hotels, dormitories, hospitals, sports facilities, social facilities, and similar structures. Water preparation for use is one of the major energy consumption items. It is formed by heating it to a certain temperature during shower use. The water delivered to the point is still usable within the body after contact with the user. Although it contains thermal energy at a certain level, it mostly does not recover any energy. The wastewater is discharged into the wastewater system without undergoing any recovery process. In this case, the water... A portion of the energy supplied to the system for heating before use is used. Subsequently, it is carried away within the wastewater and removed from the system boundaries. In particular, factors such as the frequency of shower use, hot water consumption, or the number of simultaneous users. In buildings where this thermal energy loss is high, the total energy consumption is 10. This is becoming more pronounced in that respect. In the current state of the technology, the drain from showers and similar hot water usage points... Different types of heat exchangers are used to recover the thermal energy contained in water. It is known that these mechanisms have been developed. The general use of these mechanisms is... then the relatively hot wastewater flowing into the drain, combined with the lower 15% coming from the network. thermal insulation is achieved by creating direct fluid contact between clean water at a certain temperature. Energy transfer is carried out and the temperature of the clean water is transferred to the hot water production device or Preheated clean water is raised before reaching the mixing system. during the process of obtaining the final water temperature required for use by using The aim is to reduce the amount of energy required from the hot water production system. 20 In known technology, pipe-type, nested pipe, and pipe-around methods are used for this purpose. The heat transfer pipes formed are spiral or helical type, plate type, surface type, channel type and Heat exchanger configurations with different flow geometries are used. The wastewater... a closed system in which clean water circulates through or over a heat transfer element. Positioning the flow volume in relation to the thermal relationship, 25 found in shower drain water. One of the basic known technical approaches to transferring thermal energy to clean water. It is one of them. Therefore, only the hot waste water is brought into contact with a heat exchanger surface. and circulating clean water to the other side of that surface, the shower drain itself. It does not constitute a new technical approach to heat recovery from water. Similarly, hot waste water and lower temperature clean water have a 30° difference from each other. Counterflow heat transfer systems, which rely on the movement of heat in the opposite direction, are also part of the technique. It is in its known state. The counterflow principle involves the temperature difference between two fluids. used to take advantage of the difference in flow in different regions of the path. This is one of the known heat transfer approaches. Therefore, it is not only the waste water that is used for mixing with clean water. moving it in the opposite direction or thermal water taken from the shower drain water to clean water Preheating with energy alone does not constitute a sufficient technical distinction. In the current state of the technology, heat recovery is connected to vertical drain lines. In addition to the systems, there are 5 shower trays, shower floors, shower channels or drain connection areas. heat exchangers positioned horizontally or with low structural height in a related manner There are also different systems. In some structures, wastewater passes through a heat transfer surface. clean water is passed through a closed channel or on the opposite side of the surface in question. It is circulated within the pipe structure. In some systems, the wastewater undergoes heat transfer. In order to deliver the product to a larger area of ​​its surface, a distributor, channel, partition or 10 Similar flow management structures are also used. Therefore, passing the shower drain water over a horizontal heat transfer surface ensures cleanliness. the positioning of the water line in thermal relation with the surface in question or the discharge water Features such as distribution across the heat exchanger surface via a diffuser are also available on their own. It may not provide sufficient separation from the technical aspect. The technical solution is 15. In the evaluation, not only the shape, material or heat transfer surface of the heat exchanger is considered. More important than the size is the acceptance and distribution of wastewater into the system, and heat transfer. passing through the region, handling foreign materials and removing them from the system The functional relationships between the structures involved are important. 20 key factors that make it difficult to use shower wastewater in thermal energy recovery. One of the considerations is that the fluid in question must be clean, have a constant flow rate, and possess stable properties. The absence of process fluid. The flow rate and temperature of the shower drain water throughout the usage period. It can vary; the water in question may contain hair, soap residue, and personal care products. Residues, sediment, and foreign matter of varying sizes may be found. These substances As the flow passes through the drain line, on the heat exchanger surfaces, in narrow passage areas, the flow is 25 accumulating around the guiding elements or in areas where the flow velocity is reduced increase in hydraulic resistance, reduction of usable flow cross-section, and thermal transfer. This can cause conditions to change over time. In known technology, filters, strainers, and hair removal devices are used to reduce these problems. Heat exchangers with retaining elements and cleanable heat exchanger structures can be used, as well as heat exchangers 30 different cleaning methods for removing deposits that may form on surfaces It is known that their systems are also created. Therefore, only one filter, foreign The presence of a material retention element, a removable part, or a cleanable heat exchanger is the only 6 It does not create sufficient technical distinction on its own. In contrast, foreign substances enter the system. Managing it from the point of entry, controlling areas prone to accumulation, ensuring access to components requiring maintenance and servicing those components After the system is damaged, its hydraulic and leak-proof structure can be re-established. This creates interrelated technical requirements. 5 To increase thermal energy recovery, the wastewater is transferred to a heat transfer surface. kept in thermal interaction for a longer period or over a larger area However, this approach is desirable in terms of the hydraulic performance of the shower drain system. This can produce a counter-technical effect. Extending the flow path, costing... directing water into numerous narrow passage zones or channeling water to a specific surface 10 Keeping it on for a longer period of time can support thermal energy transfer. This can increase hydraulic resistance. Initially, in the case of foreign matter and sediment accumulation... An adequate flow cross-section can narrow during the usage period, and the shower drain... Evacuation capacity may decrease. Therefore, in shower wastewater heat recovery systems, thermal energy transfer is 15%. Increasing the hydraulic resistance while maintaining low hydraulic resistance and adequate discharge capacity. a technique that can only be solved by increasing or decreasing the design parameter These are not requirements. Increasing the heat transfer surface or changing the flow path. Extending it is not enough on its own, nor is it sufficient to simply create a broad cost profile. 20 It does not provide sufficient surface area for wastewater in terms of thermal interaction. by ensuring the free drainage capacity necessary for the primary function of the shower drain. They need to be protected together. Especially in low-profile or horizontally installed systems, the waste water's heat exchanger surface The distribution of wastewater across the inlet and outlet is of particular technical importance. creating a direct path between them that offers lower hydraulic resistance In this case, a significant portion of the flow can concentrate along that route, affecting the heat exchanger. Other heat transfer areas may not be utilized to a sufficient extent. In contrast, the cost... the water must be diverted into a single, long, narrow, and high-resistance route In this case, evacuation capacity decreases and areas susceptible to foreign matter accumulation 30 This can occur. Therefore, heat transfer in wastewater is possible. distribution on the surface, orientation between successive regions and then 7 the relationship between transportation to the evacuation zone and thermal performance is considered only It should be designed not only by taking measurements, but also by considering the hydraulic behavior of the system. Another technical problem encountered in the known state of the art is during normal operation. partial blockage due to conditions such as foreign matter accumulation or sudden high flow rate The difference lies in the fact that the system behavior differs under different conditions. A heat exchanger has an initial 5 Even if it has sufficient drainage capacity under the given conditions, hair, sediment or other residues Usable flow cross-section and consequent discharge due to accumulation in certain areas Its capacity can change over time. Similarly, in a short period of time. the amount of wastewater reaching the system is recovered through thermal recovery within the heat exchanger. It is also possible that the route's carrying capacity will be exceeded. In this case, the system will only have 10 to provide high thermal energy recovery under normal operating conditions Its configuration is insufficient, and it operates under different hydraulic operating conditions. Maintaining its function is also of technical importance. Sufficient amount of wastewater passes through the thermal recovery path within the heat exchanger. if it cannot be passed or the transport capacity of the route in question is less than 15 times the instantaneous flow rate in cases where it is trapped, water in the shower tray, shower drain or shower area Accumulation is an undesirable situation. Therefore, the thermal energy recovery function of the shower is important. the fact that the drain does not eliminate its primary drainage function, thermal recovery any flow restriction that may occur along the route will necessitate the complete evacuation of the system. to prevent it from losing its ability and to ensure that the wastewater is in different operating conditions 20 It is necessary to continue removing them from the system. The only option is for an alternative drain opening or an additional drainage route to be available in the system. It does not fully meet this technical requirement on its own. During normal operation the preservation of the wastewater's utilization through the thermal recovery route Alternative evacuation in case the evacuation capacity of the route in question is insufficient. 25 establishing a hydraulic working relationship between the road becoming usable It is necessary. Under normal operating conditions, the wastewater's thermal conductivity is required via the alternative route. this should not cause the flow to unnecessarily bypass the recovery zone. the drain water level rises as a result of restriction or high instantaneous flow rate Ensuring continuity of discharge under these conditions, thermal performance and drain safety 30 This constitutes a separate technical problem that requires joint consideration. On the other hand, while the thermal energy of wastewater is utilized, clean water and wastewater are treated together. Direct fluid passage between them must be prevented. In the known technique... 8 There are different heat exchanger structures for separating fluids from each other. Together, the heat transfer surface in shower drain systems is suitable for thermal energy transfer. This involves the physical separation of the clean water side from the wastewater side. Connection, sealing, maintenance and assembly areas must be provided. Because it can affect the continuity of the separation, not only the heat transfer surface of the heat exchanger but also 5 With its structure that separates the clean water flow volume from the waste water flow volume, this is possible after service. Re-establishing the distinction is also of technical importance. Maintenance and cleaning procedures are essential for the long-term operation of shower drain systems. This is another factor that directly affects its usability. Foreign substances on the heat transfer surface... Access to material collection areas or flow redirection areas is only possible via shower 10 a significant portion of the boat, floor covering or drainage system Systems that can only be disassembled have disadvantages in terms of implementation. It can create. However, only a removable cover or a detachable one Creating a heat exchanger alone is not enough; the system also needs to maintain the areas that require maintenance. its location inside, the direction from which service access is provided, the removable element 15 how it is repositioned, how the seal is restored after maintenance it was created and the entire system and its connections were put into service without any disruption. Whether it can be done or not is of equal importance. Similarly, different geometries of shower trays, shower channels, floor drains, and wastewater systems. This changes the mounting conditions of the heat exchanger. 20 where vertical mounting space is limited. The use of heat exchangers requiring high structural length in applications is becoming more difficult; In low-profile structures, the required heat transfer area is confined within a limited volume. It is necessary to create wastewater systems for systems that will be subsequently implemented in existing structures. The scope of changes to be made in the water line and clean water installation, connection 25 aspects such as assembly access and service requirements affect the system's feasibility. They are becoming technical parameters. When solutions in the current state of the art are considered as a whole; shower drain Thermal energy recovery from water, preheating of clean water, counterflow principle the use of horizontal or vertical heat exchanger layouts, the heat transfer surface of the waste water distribution, filtering of foreign substances and making heat exchanger surfaces cleanable 30 various technical approaches to bringing about, individually or in specific combinations It appears that it can be used in this way. However, the shower drain system is variable. Thermal energy recovery in flow conditions with high flow rates and potentially foreign matter content, hydraulic. 9 discharge capacity, flow distribution, foreign matter management, maintenance access, clean water drainage. The continuity of drainage under conditions of physical separation of water and flow restriction are interconnected. The technical impacts it produces need to be managed together. In this context, the technical problem that needs to be solved is not only the thermal activity found in the wastewater. The problem is not about transferring energy to clean water. The technical problem is; 5 within a limited installation space. While utilizing the usable thermal energy of wastewater, the said wastewater... controlled distribution of water to different regions of the heat transfer surface and the diversion of clean water into a flow physically separated from wastewater. Thermal interaction along the route, accumulation of foreign matter and sediment in the system Limiting the impact on its function, installing in areas requiring maintenance 10 access without unnecessarily compromising its integrity and normal thermal recovery. In conditions where the hydraulic capacity along the route is insufficient, the primary drainage system of the shower drain... the sustainability of its function within the same system architecture It is the realization of. Meeting these technical requirements independently of each other, shower drain 15 It alone does not solve the holistic behavior of the system under different operating conditions. Directing the wastewater along a longer path over the heat transfer surface. It can increase hydraulic resistance while supporting thermal interaction; flow cross-section expanding the drainage capacity while increasing the heat transfer surface area of ​​the wastewater. This can make controlled distribution to the whole area difficult; foreign matter retention 20 While their structures contribute to the protection of the heat exchanger, over time they themselves become a flow. This can create restrictions, and keeping an alternative evacuation route constantly open is crucial. causing wastewater to partially or completely bypass the thermal recovery path This is possible. Therefore, among the technical requirements in question, only structural... No, a functional relationship based on working conditions needs to be established. 25 Therefore, the required technical infrastructure is not just a larger heat transfer surface, a longer clean water pipe, a counterflow heat exchanger, a horizontal or low-profile casing, a filter element, a removable heat exchanger or an additional drain opening not; but the distribution of wastewater from its entry into the system and in stages 30 thermal relationship between them, foreign matter management, service access and normal thermal In situations where the discharge capacity of the recovery route is insufficient, an alternative The hydraulic behavior required for the evacuation route to become operational is related to each other. a need for an integrated shower drain system that regulates them in a functional relationship It is based on. The purpose of the invention: The primary purpose of the invention is to remove the waste generated as a result of showering and to utilize it within the body. Waste water containing thermal energy at level 5 is directly discharged into the wastewater system. To reduce energy loss during removal, in the wastewater at least some of the thermal energy found can be transferred to the clean water coming from the grid. capable of transferring; the thermal energy recovery in question is transferred through the primary discharge of the shower drain. Performing its function while preserving it; phased flow redirection, counterflow heat recovery, passive discharge safety, and serviceable heat exchanger configuration all in one 10 The goal is to create a shower drainage system that brings together various components within a system architecture. Another objective of the invention is to recover thermal energy solely through the hot wastewater line. the placement of lower temperature clean water lines or drains close to each other instead of basing it on passing water through any heat transfer surface, A controlled 15 that mechanically regulates the movement of waste water within the heat exchanger. The goal is to create a flow architecture. Accordingly, from the inlet of wastewater into the system... heat transfer by creating a direct and short hydraulic path to the discharge zone. reducing the passage of wastewater through only a limited section of its surface, and distributing it differently distribution of heat to heat transfer zones and along successive flow zones by directing it, the existing heat transfer surface can be used effectively. 20 The aim is to provide this. Another aim of the invention is to gradually increase the movement of waste water over the heat transfer surface. by organizing it in this way, we can reduce the concentration of flow in only a specific area and participation of different heat transfer zones of the heat exchanger in the thermal energy recovery process The aim is to ensure this. In this context, the wastewater is controlled from the inlet area onwards for 25 minutes. distribution, from the first-stage flow zone to the intermediate transition zone, and from there to the following transferring the flow to flow redirection zones and directing the flow direction in specific areas by modifying it, a greater heat transfer is achieved within a limited heat exchanger volume. creating a controlled wastewater route that can utilize the area is intended. 30 Another aim of the invention is to investigate the thermal interaction of wastewater on the heat transfer surface. increasing it without unacceptably reducing the hydraulic drainage capacity of the shower drain The goal is to create a flow pattern. In this context, the aim is to increase thermal energy transfer. 11 for the purpose of preventing unnecessary narrowing, length, or excessive accumulation of foreign matter in the drainwater. Instead of forcing the flow into a single responsive flow channel, the flow is divided into interconnected, cascading layers. Evacuation through thermal interaction by distributing and directing across regions The aim is to create a functional balance between their capacities. Another objective of the invention is to increase the wastewater flow volume and the clean water flow volume from the network by 5. while keeping the flow volumes in question physically separated from each other, thermally The goal is to connect them in a way that allows for energy transfer. This way, the energy flows. preventing the wastewater from coming into direct contact with clean water, while conversely, in the wastewater... The thermal energy present is transferred through the heat transfer surface separating the two fluids. transferring to clean water and pre-heating the clean water before use or subsequent heating process 10 It is intended to be heated. Another purpose of the invention is to determine the direction of movement of clean water in a closed clean water flow path. and the opposite direction of movement of the wastewater in the thermal energy transfer zone. The goal is to establish a flow relationship. Accordingly, the clean water and wastewater are gradually distributed. By moving the heat exchanger in the opposite direction to the heat transfer zones it passes through, the different 15 taking advantage of the temperature difference suitable for thermal energy transfer in these regions and limited Thermal energy recovery from the heat transfer surface located within the assembly volume The aim is to encourage participation. One of the key aims of the invention is to integrate thermal energy recovery function into the core of the shower drain. eliminating the evacuation function or rendering its reliability unacceptably poor. 20 The aim is to prevent the reduction of wastewater under normal operating conditions. The discharge route is advanced through the normal wastewater treatment line where it participates in thermal energy recovery; accumulation of foreign matter, partial blockage, narrowing of the flow cross-section, sudden high wastewater level. the discharge capacity of the route in question is insufficient due to flow rate or similar reasons In the conditions where it remains, at least a portion of the wastewater should be diverted to an alternative drainage system. 25 The aim is to remove it from the system by diverting it from its route. Another objective of the invention is to utilize the alternative discharge route in question with normal thermal return. a simple secondary expense opening that is independent of the revenue path and remains continuously open instead of creating it in that way, with hydraulic conditions in the normal drain discharge path The goal is to create a functionally related evacuation safety structure. Thus, the normal 30 In working conditions, the wastewater's thermal energy recovery route is unnecessary. limiting the possibility of jumping in this manner, while conversely evacuating the normal route. 12 The alternative evacuation route is necessary in situations where the capacity becomes insufficient. The aim is to support its continuity. Another objective of the invention is to connect the alternative discharge function to an external power source, electronically. a control unit, sensor or active drive mechanism is not necessarily required 5 This can be done without being noticed, depending on the hydraulic condition of the wastewater. The aim is to create a passive drain safety structure. Accordingly, normal drain drainage... Elevated bypass inlet positioned at a different hydraulic level according to its route. via the threshold, the normal thermal recovery path has sufficient discharge capacity. in the conditions it possesses, the wastewater must be retained along the route in question; wastewater its level rises to 10 due to flow restriction, partial blockage or momentary high flow rate. If the bypass reaches the inlet threshold, at least a portion of the wastewater will overflow. The aim is to accept the alternative evacuation route based on this principle. Another aim of the invention is to enable the transition between normal and alternative evacuation simply. It's not about having two different outlet openings, but about the hydraulic flow of the wastewater within the system. The aim is to ensure that the system is based on a passive working relationship depending on its level. Thus, the system 15 prioritizing thermal energy recovery under normal operating conditions, but... the issue is when the hydraulic capacity becomes insufficient in the thermal recovery pathway It should have a work characteristic that prioritizes cost security. that is intended. Another purpose of the invention is to prevent wastewater from flowing uncontrollably through an alternative discharge route. by preventing the water from spreading to different parts of the heat exchanger body in this way The goal is to deliver the wastewater to the common drain outlet area via a designated bypass flow route. In this context, wastewater exceeding the elevated bypass inlet threshold is considered an overflow. being taken to that region, and from there proceeding along a bypass route, and 25 in a common outlet area with wastewater coming from the normal discharge route The aim is to combine them and transfer them to the wastewater system. Another purpose of the invention is to remove hair, soap residue, and personal care products that can be found in shower drain water. Product residues, sediment, and similar foreign substances interfere with heat transfer and flow in the heat exchanger. The aim is to reduce the negative impacts on the areas of orientation. In this regard, foreign The tendency for substances to be retained before reaching the thermal energy transfer zone, leading to accumulation. 30 the collection of materials showing this in a specific and accessible area and the matter in question The aim is to remove these materials from the system during maintenance. 13 Another purpose of the invention is to manage foreign matter itself through the drain of the shower drain. The aim is to prevent it from disrupting its continuity. In the foreign object retention area or accumulations that may occur over time in the thermal recovery pathway If the available flow cross-section is reduced, the hydraulic condition within the system It is managed together with an alternative evacuation safety structure and thus foreign article 5 to prevent the accumulation from completely blocking the removal of wastewater from the system The aim is to overcome it. Another objective of the invention is to direct wastewater flow to the heat transfer surfaces of the heat exchanger. to areas, foreign matter containment and collection areas, and other areas that may require maintenance. The goal is to create a serviceable mechanical structure that facilitates access to its components. 10 Accordingly, during maintenance or cleaning, the shower drain system should be cleaned to ensure it contains clean water. the need to completely dismantle the piping or the main body of the heat exchanger reduction; accessible, detachable, removable elements requiring maintenance, The aim is to configure it in a way that allows it to be cleaned and modified when necessary. Another objective of the invention is to ensure the serviceability of the heat exchanger by opening only one cover. not limiting it to just that; the heat exchanger section requiring maintenance has a designated area. to be held in the positioning zone, with a mechanical locking relationship if necessary. separated and removed, and then repositioned after the maintenance process. The goal is to create a structure that allows for fixation. This will enable service operations. Re-establishing the working position of the heat exchanger within the system 20 The aim is to ensure that it can be carried out without making it difficult. Another purpose of the invention is to provide a clean water flow after service and maintenance procedures are completed. the physical separation between the volume and the wastewater flow volume and the necessary sealing The aim is to allow for its reconstruction. In this context, it can be removed or serviced. After the usable components are returned to their working position, the clean water supply is shut off. 25 maintaining its flow volume and physically separating it from the wastewater that is intended. Another purpose of the invention is to provide limited mounting options located under a shower tray or shower floor. a compact and low-profile heat exchanger system that can be used in these fields The aim is to bring about a necessary dependence on a long vertical heat exchanger volume. reduction, controlled wastewater path with horizontal, low slope and heat transfer surface. or to be created within a structure adapted to the existing piping geometry and the system 14 It can also be used in applications where vertical mounting height is limited. that is intended. Another objective of the invention is to provide sufficient thermal interaction area within a limited structural height. during its construction, the uncontrolled pooling of wastewater at a certain point, inlet creating a short hydraulic path between the outlet and the heat exchanger, or transferring a specific amount of heat within the heat exchanger. A flow geometry will be created that will reduce the outflow of transfer regions. The aim is to achieve this through a low-profile heat exchanger geometry and stepped wastewater flow. the routing structure is organized in a way that is functionally related to each other. that is intended. Another purpose of the invention is to adapt different shower trays, shower channels, floor drains and wastewater systems. The goal is to create a modular system that can be adapted to their structures. This is the direction we are going in. water inlet and outlet connections, clean water inlet and outlet connections, and heat exchanger connection structures that enable the system to be connected to the installation different installations adaptable to their geometries and the system being suitable only for a specific shower or drain The aim is not to be limited to geometry. 15 Another aim of the invention is to preheat clean water as a result of thermal energy recovery. This allows for its use in various hot water preparation and distribution systems. Within this scope, the preheated clean water coming from the heat exchanger feeds the hot water production device. to the line, to the appropriate clean water line of the shower mixing system, or to the clean water later a system that allows it to be transferred to another part of the facility where it is heated 20 The aim is to create it. Another aim of the invention is to recover the thermal energy found in shower drain water. By transforming it from a heat transfer process that depends solely on the surface area of ​​the heat exchanger, it eliminates the need for... the route the water follows from its entry into the system to its discharge from the system an integrated flow and heat transfer architecture in which mechanical and hydraulic systems are arranged 25 The aim is to create.

Transfer of thermal energy without generating it, clean water compared to wastewater progressing the wastewater involved in thermal energy recovery within a flow relationship to reach the normal discharge route, the hydraulic capacity of said route is 25 In situations where it is insufficient, alternative drainage depending on the rising wastewater level. the route becoming passively usable and components requiring maintenance its serviceability functions within the same mechanical, hydraulic and thermal architecture They are related to each other. Thermal energy recovery in the technical structure of the invention. Increasing the efficiency of the drain while preserving the primary drainage function of the shower drain are 30% of each other. They are not considered as independent requirements; for the purpose of thermal energy recovery. the hydraulic capacity of the controlled and phased wastewater route created 18 Accepting that it may change, the route in question is functional with a passive evacuation safety structure. It is completed as follows. The technical design of the invention includes stepped wastewater flow direction and counterflow. Thermal energy transfer and passive discharge safety operate independently of each other. Not as auxiliary features, but as different hydraulic operating principles for the same wastewater flow. 5 as functionally related structures that enable management under these conditions It is organized. The wastewater distribution area (7) and flow distribution First-stage flow routing channel (9) via element (8), Intermediate flow transition region (10), Second stage flow redirection channel (11), Flow direction change region (12) and routing along the third-stage flow routing channel (13), word 10 The subject is the heat transfer surface of the wastewater within the Thermal energy transfer region (14). (15) enables thermal interaction in more than one region. In contrast Clean water is separated from waste water through a leak-proof clean water-waste water separation wall (36). Clean water heat transfer channel (16) inside physically separated Clean water It is advanced along the flow path (19). The cost that completes the thermal energy transfer is 15 Thermal recovery normal discharge passage (23) under normal operating conditions of water while ensuring the discharge of heat through the aforementioned thermal recovery route hydraulic capacity is reduced due to foreign matter accumulation, partial blockage, flow cross-sectional narrowing, or Due to the sudden high flow rate of the drain water, the drain water system becomes insufficient. The rise in the level of wastewater within the collection area (22) and the Elevated 20 If the hydraulic bypass reaches the inlet threshold (25) level, the wastewater will be at least one Passive safety bypass discharge through the Passive bypass overflow acceptance zone (26) of the section It is ensured that the energy is transferred to the passage (24). Thus, thermal energy recovery is achieved. The stepped flow path created to support different hydraulic conditions the potential limitation of discharge capacity that it may cause, thermal 25 during normal operation a system that does not unnecessarily disable the recycling pathway and only uses wastewater becomes available depending on the level reaching the specified hydraulic level It is managed with a passive alternative evacuation structure. Step-by-step flow redirection, counter-flow heat recovery, passive discharge safety, and Shower drain system with serviceable heat exchanger arrangement (1), shower tray, shower floor, shower channel, 30 in a suitable section of the ground drain or associated wastewater line On or inside the low-profile heat exchanger main body (2) which can be positioned It is structured. The low-profile heat exchanger main body (2) accepts the system's wastewater, 19 foreign matter management, stepped flow redirection, thermal energy transfer, clean water circulation, normal evacuation, passive safety evacuation, and components necessary for service access It forms the structural body that carries the heat exchanger. Low profile heat exchanger main body (2), It is not merely an enclosure surrounding the relevant components, but also includes wastewater. The defined thermal 5 flow volumes of clean water that are physically separated from each other positioning within the relationship, with a direct short path between the inlet and outlet of the wastewater. limiting the creation of a hydraulic pathway and passive drainage with normal discharge. A system that enables the creation of a hydraulic level relationship between safety and release points. It is a carrier. Low profile heat exchanger main body (2), especially for shower floor or It allows you to make use of the limited vertical mounting space located under the shower tray. 10 horizontal, low-slope or adapted to the existing installation geometry in such a way as to provide It can be used in this position; thus, a long vertical path is required for thermal energy recovery. The need for a heat exchanger line is being reduced. The waste water generated during shower use is discharged through the Drain Water Inlet (3) in stages. flow redirection, counterflow heat recovery, passive discharge safety, and serviceable 15 The shower drain system with heat exchanger arrangement (1) is taken into the drain water inlet (3), drain from shower tray, shower drain, floor drain or related drain collection point water into the controlled flow architecture inside the low profile heat exchanger main body (2) It transfers. The waste water entering the system through the waste water inlet (3) Waste water The waste water reaches the inlet tank (4). The waste water inlet tank (4) receives the incoming waste water 20 the flow that receives and monitors the wastewater in question with foreign matter management. It creates an acceptance volume that prepares for the distribution stages. Waste water inlet The reservoir (4) directs the waste water through the waste water inlet (3) to the thermal energy. Instead of the flow being directed to the transfer zone (14) or discharge zone, the following functional It allows for the controlled transfer of energy to the sections and the instantaneous 25% of shower usage. a transition that will reduce the direct transfer of flow rate variations to a single narrow flow section It can also function in terms of volume. Hair, soap residue, personal care product residue, and sediment can be found in wastewater. similar foreign substances, gradual flow direction and thermal energy transfer. To restrict uncontrolled access to their regions, 30 removable foreigners There is a foreign matter trap (5). The removable foreign matter trap (5) collects the wastewater. while allowing passage of foreign matter of a certain size to subsequent flow zones. It is designed to reduce its movement. Removable foreign object trap. Foreign matter separated by (5) inside the foreign matter collection container (6) It is kept. The foreign matter collection container (6) contains foreign matter. First stage flow routing channel (9), Second stage flow routing channel (11), Third Step flow guiding channel (13), Thermal energy transfer zone (14) and Heat transfer Instead of random accumulation on the surface (15), 5 in a specific accessible area It allows for the collection of foreign matter. With removable foreign matter catcher (5) The relationship between the substance collection container (6) and the foreign substance management is only a fixed one. It does not limit itself to a filtering function; it also removes the retained substances from the system. This creates a serviceable preliminary protection layer. Drain water passing through removable foreign matter trap (5) Drain water distribution 10 It is transferred into region (7). Waste water distribution region (7) is where the waste water is transferred. The shortest hydraulic and lowest resistance between the water inlet (3) and the discharge area by following the path, it passes through only a limited part of the heat transfer surface (15) area. It is structured to reduce the flow associated with the wastewater distribution area (7). distribution element (8) concentrates the wastewater in a single linear flow line 15 to limit and follow the stepped flow path of the wastewater in question It distributes. The wastewater distribution area (7) and the flow distribution element (8) in this respect It not only spreads the inlet flow but also the outlet water to the thermal energy transfer zone. (14) the step that allows it to reach different thermal interaction regions within it This constitutes the initial condition for the route. 20 The waste water is directed through the waste water distribution area (7) and the flow distribution element (8). The water is drawn into the first stage flow redirection channel (9). First Stepwise flow redirection channel (9), waste water Thermal energy transfer zone (14) It guides along the initial thermal interaction path within. First stage. The waste water flowing along the flow direction channel (9) goes directly to the discharge area 25 Instead of passing through the Intermediate flow transition zone (10), Second stage flow routing It is transferred into channel (11). Intermediate flow transition zone (10), First stage flow Hydraulic between the directing channel (9) and the second stage flow directing channel (11) ensuring continuity and following the wastewater from the first thermal interaction zone It performs a controlled transition to the thermal interaction zone. 30 The second stage flow redirection channel (11) directs the waste water to the heat transfer surface (15). It directs along the subsequent region in thermal relation. Second stage. The waste water flows along the flow redirection channel (11) Flow redirection zone 21 (12) reaches into and through the flow change zone (12) Third The flow is directed in the direction of the stepped flow redirection channel (13). Flow redirection region (12), a linear short circuit flow between the inlet and discharge zone of the wastewater. the direction of drain water movement in a way that will limit the formation of a path changing and wastewater into a different 5 within the Thermal energy transfer zone (14) It directs to the region. The third-stage flow routing channel (13) goes out the progression of water in the following section of its gradual flow path and heat transfer It enables additional thermal interaction with the surface (15). First stage flow redirection channel (9), Intermediate flow transition zone (10), Second stage Flow direction channel (11), Flow direction change zone (12) and Third stage flow 10 routing channel (13), only separate channels and transition channels located within the same body Low discharge water in successive hydraulic sections, not in separate zones. the direction of progress and heat transfer surface inside the profiled heat exchanger main body (2) This hierarchical structure determines the sequence of interactions. This hierarchical arrangement regulates the heat transfer of wastewater. to increase interaction with the surface, only the flow channel needs to be extended or the flow cross-section increased by 15 It deviates from the narrowing approach. Waste water has multiple thermal interactions. the need to force the flow into a single, extremely narrow path when directing it to the region is reduced; thus, the usable surface area for thermal energy transfer is reduced. a structural balance between evaluation and preserving waste discharge capacity is being created. 20 Thermal energy transfer zone (14), as the outflow water progresses along the stepped course It forms the region where it establishes a thermal relationship with the clean water side. Thermal energy Heat transfer surface (15) associated with transfer region (14), thermal found in waste water It allows energy to be transferred to the clean water side. Heat transfer surface (15), drain First stage flow redirection channel of water (9), Second stage flow redirection 25 progress through channel (11) and third-stage flow routing channel (13) in a way that allows thermal interaction through different regions during this process They are positioned in such a way that thermal energy transfer is concentrated in a single local contact area. not remaining connected and different sections of the phased wastewater route Thermal energy It participates in thermal energy recovery within the transfer zone (14). 30 Clean water from the mains or clean water supply Clean water inlet connection (17) It is taken into the system via and into the Clean water inlet distribution area (18) It is transferred. Clean water inlet distribution area (18), Clean water inlet connection (17) 22 Clean water coming from above is put into the Closed clean water heat transfer channel (16) It directs. The closed clean water heat transfer channel (16) directs the clean water to the waste water. Thermal energy transfer zone without direct fluid contact (14) It forms a closed volume of clean water flow through which it moves. A leakproof clean water heat transfer channel (16) is located between the waste water flow volume and the closed clean water heat transfer channel (16). There is a water-drain water separation wall (36). Leakproof clean water-drain water separation wall (36) is a physical and impermeable wall that prevents clean water and waste water from mixing. while creating a boundary, it also allows for the transfer of thermal energy between the two fluids. It provides heat transfer surface (15), leakproof clean water-drain water separation wall (36) on, as part of, or in thermal contact with the structure in question. 10 It can be created within it. Thanks to this structure, physical fluid separation is achieved. Thermal energy transfer does not remain two opposing requirements; the same heat exchanger It is carried out together within its architecture. Clean water inside closed clean water heat transfer channel (16) Clean water counterflow path (19) progresses along. The clean water counterflow path (19) is the general path of clean water 15 The general direction of flow of the outflow water within the Thermal energy transfer zone (14) It is arranged in a way that is against the direction of progress. The first stage of the wastewater flow routing channel (9), Intermediate flow transition zone (10), Second stage flow routing channel (11), flow direction change zone (12) and third stage flow direction Clean water flows gradually through channel (13) Clean water counterflow 20 When the movement in the opposite direction along route (19) is considered together, Thermal Temperature between two fluids in different regions within the energy transfer region (14) a distributed counterflow thermal interaction that allows the exploitation of the difference is being created. Clean water that receives thermal energy transferred from wastewater. Closed clean water heat transfer channel 25 (16) and Clean water outlet collection area (20) via the clean water counterflow route (19) It reaches inside. The clean water outlet collection area (20) has gained thermal energy. It collects the water in the direction of the preheated clean water outlet connection (21). Preheated clean Clean water coming out of the system through the water outlet connection (21) of the hot water production device to the supply line, to the appropriate clean water line of the shower mixing system or to the clean water follow-up 30 It can be transferred to the installation section where it undergoes a heating process. In this way At least some of the thermal energy contained in wastewater can be transferred to clean water. It can be used for heating. 23 Wastewater completing the phased thermal energy recovery pathway. Wastewater It reaches the collection area (22). The wastewater collection area (22) is thermal. After energy transfer, wastewater is collected for drainage purposes and discharged through normal drainage. a hydraulic working relationship is established between passive safety release when necessary It constitutes the area. Under normal operating conditions, the wastewater collection area is 5. (22) waste water inside Thermal recovery normal discharge passage (23) It is progressing. Thermal recovery normal discharge passage (23), gradual wastewater enabling the discharge of thermal energy after passing through the recovery pathway This is the normal flow path and the standard way in which the thermal energy recovery of the system is performed. It constitutes the main evacuation route in working conditions. 10 Passive safety bypass discharge together with thermal recovery normal discharge passage (23). Passive safety bypass discharge passage (24) is available. Thermal recovery a parallel discharge passage (23) with a continuous, simultaneous and equivalent amount of flow Not in the form of a drain line, but due to the insufficient hydraulic capacity of the normal discharge route. As a result of this, the wastewater level in the system rises, causing 15 It is being structured as an alternative evacuation route that becomes available. This The feature is the presence of a passive safety bypass relief passage (24) during normal use. while limiting the thermal energy recovery pathway from constantly short-circuiting, enabling the creation of additional discharge capacity under unusual hydraulic conditions. It provides. 20 Thermal recovery normal discharge passage (23) and Passive safety bypass discharge passage (24) hydraulic working relationship between the Elevated hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25) It determines. Elevated hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25), Thermal recovery Corresponding to normal evacuation carried out via normal evacuation passage (23) It is located at a level higher than the hydraulic level. Thermal return 25 As long as the normal discharge passage (23) has sufficient discharge capacity, the drain The drain water level within the water collection area (22) has been raised by the hydraulic bypass. Thermal recovery normal discharge before reaching the inlet threshold (25) level It is removed through the passage (23). Thermal recovery normal discharge passage (23) or available hydraulic 30 in the stepped flow path feeding the passage in question. A decrease in capacity or the instantaneous wastewater flow rate reaching the system does not correspond to normal discharge. As a result of exceeding its capacity, the wastewater within the wastewater collection area (22) rising to the level of the Elevated hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25) 24 In this case, at least a portion of the wastewater overflows the threshold, causing it to become passive. The bypass passes into the overflow acceptance zone (26). Thus, the elevated hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25), movable valve, electronic level sensor, control unit normal discharge without requiring a drive element powered by external energy. The available hydraulic capacity of the route and the wastewater level within the system is 5 Passive safety bypass evacuation passage (24) depending on the physical relationship between them It creates a fixed geometric and hydraulic threshold structure that enables its use. In the stepped flow path of wastewater or in thermal recovery normal discharge Accumulation of foreign matter on the passage (23), partial blockage, usable flow cross-section decrease, instantaneous wastewater flow exceeding normal discharge capacity or 10 When a similar hydraulic situation occurs, the Drainage Water Collection Area (22) The drain water level inside is rising. The level in question is Elevated. reaching or exceeding the hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25) level In this case, at least part of the wastewater is removed via the raised hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25) It overflows and enters the Passive bypass overflow acceptance zone (26). Passive 15 bypass overflow acceptance zone (26), waste water taken through overflow Alternative discharge flow It is the hydraulic transition zone that accepts the direction of the steering channel (27). Alternative discharge flow redirection channel (27), Passive bypass overflow acceptance zone (26) The waste water that reaches it is uncontrolled inside the low profile heat exchanger main body (2). It transmits the waste to the common expense outlet (28) without spreading in any way. Passive safety 20 bypass discharge passage (24), Elevated hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25), Passive bypass Overflow acceptance zone (26) and Alternative discharge flow redirection channel (27) in this respect They form a complementary passive evacuation safety structure. Alternative evacuation For the route to be activated, the electronic control unit, sensor, and electrical valve, motorized actuator or other active control powered by external energy 25 The element does not need to be mandatory; the hydraulic level of the wastewater The rise is discharged directly through the raised hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25). It causes the route to change. Thermal recovery with waste water coming through normal discharge passage (23) Alternative The drain water coming through the discharge flow diverter channel (27) Common drain outlet tank 30 It is hydraulically related to (28). Common drain outlet tank (28), normal Expenses from the evacuation route and, if necessary, from the passive safety evacuation route. It combines its water in the common drain area. Common drain outlet tank (28) Waste water inside the building or facility through the waste water outlet connection (29) It is transferred to the system. Thus, it is completely independent for passive safety discharge. normal and alternative wastewater treatment plants can be constructed without the need for a second wastewater system. Evacuation routes can be linked using a common exit architecture. Drain water hydraulic equalization opening (30), with normal discharge and passive safety discharge 5 hydraulic level and flow differences that may occur in related flow volumes It is positioned in a way that will contribute to balancing the wastewater hydraulic system. Balancing opening (30) allows controlled hydraulic communication between the relevant flow volumes. The normal created by the raised hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25) when giving Eliminates the level-based operational relationship between evacuation and passive safety evacuation. 10 It is structured in a way that will not lift. Thus, wastewater hydraulic balancing. A continuous short-circuit flow path for the opening (30), Passive safety bypass discharge passage (24). Contributing to the balancing of hydraulic behavior within the system without causing damage. It provides. Thermal recovery normal discharge passage (23), Passive safety bypass discharge passage (24), 15 Elevated hydraulic bypass inlet threshold (25), Passive bypass overflow acceptance zone (26), Alternative discharge flow redirection channel (27), Common drain outlet tank (28), Wastewater The functional connection between outlet connection (29) and drain water hydraulic equalization opening (30) The relationship lies in the invention's ability to integrate thermal energy recovery and discharge safety within the same system. It forms the basic hydraulic structure connecting the components. Normal operation 20 under these conditions, wastewater from a phased thermal energy recovery pathway Priority is given to passing through; the evacuation capacity of the said route is insufficient. In this case, the rising hydraulic level of the drain water does not require any active control. It initiates passive safety relief without the need for a command. Thus, thermal In order to increase energy recovery, a more controlled and longer course of treatment is applied to the wastewater. 25 When providing the interaction path, the increase in hydraulic resistance of this path or Partial blockages that may occur during use will completely clear the shower drain. The likelihood of it becoming dysfunctional is limited.
