Abstract:
The invention relates to a heating system comprising at least one atmospheric collector-evaporator, an associated compression heat pump system, and a suitable interior heat emitter. The design as an integral outdoor unit makes it possible to use hydrocarbons such as isobutane, propane or other fluids as a refrigerant, thus avoiding the direct harmful impact on the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect. The system heats a liquid used for feeding at least one hot water radiator, a fan coil unit, or the heat exchanger of a domestic hot water tank. The main use of the system is to replace electric convection heaters.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a structure for coupling a make-up water valve and a pipe body together. The coupling structure is one in which the make-up water valve may be inserted inwardly from the outside of the pipe body to reduce the number of connection parts that couple the make-up water valve and the pipe body together, and at the same time, the make-up water valve may be disassembled and assembled from the outside of the pipe body to easily perform maintenance and repair processes of the make-up water valve. For this purpose, the structure for coupling a make-up water valve and a pipe body together includes: a valve body in which an inlet and outlet for make-up water are defined, the make-up water valve including a plate which reciprocates to open or close a path between the inlet and outlet and a driving unit reciprocating the plate; and the pipe body, in which an inlet-side connection part and an outlet-side connection part are disposed at positions corresponding to the inlet and outlet, respectively, and having a make-up water connection part extending toward a side thereof. The make-up water valve is inwardly inserted from the outside of the pipe body.

본 발명은 보충수밸브가 배관바디의 외부에서 내측으로 삽입되는 구조로 이루어져 보충수밸브와 배관바디가 결합되는 연결부의 수를 감소함과 동시에 보충수밸브를 배관바디의 외부에서 분리 및 조립 가능토록 함으로써 보충수밸브의 유지보수 작업을 용이하게 수행할 수 있도록 하는 보충수밸브와 배관바디의 결합구조에 관한 것이다. 이를 실현하기 위한 본 발명의 보충수밸브와 배관바디의 결합구조는, 보충수 입수구와 출수구가 형성된 밸브몸체와, 상기 입수구와 출수구 사이의 통로를 개폐하도록 왕복이동되는 플레이트 및 상기 플레이트를 왕복이동시키는 구동수단을 포함하는 보충수밸브;및 상기 입수구와 출수구에 각각 대응되는 위치에 입수측연결부와 출수측연결부가 형성되고, 일측으로는 보충수밸브연결부가 연장형성된 배관바디;를 포함하고, 상기 보충수밸브는 상기 배관바디의 외부에서 상기 보충수밸브연결부의 내측으로 삽입되는 것을 특징으로 한다.
Abstract:
A safety apparatus and method for automatically disabling a utility of a facility (110). One safety apparatus (180) may be connected, for example, in a basement (130) of a house (110) in line with a water pipe just after a water meter (160). Another safety apparatus (190) may be connected, for example, in an apartment building in line with a gas utility pipe just after a gas meter (170). Still another safety apparatus may be connected, for example, in a house in line with a home heating oil pipe. Any of the safety apparatuses include means for measuring a rate of flow of a fluid from a utility fluid source, means for determining if the measured rate of flow indicates the existence of an abnormal flow condition, and means for disabling the flow of fluid from the utility fluid source if the abnormal flow condition is determined to exist.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a heating system. The heating system includes a heating element configured to heat a working fluid and a circulation system configured to circulate the working fluid through a circulation loop. The heating system further includes an energy storage device configured to store and discharge energy. The discharged energy comprises electricity delivered to the heating element and the circulation system. In addition, a recharging element is configured to charge the energy storage device.
Abstract:
A heating device (10) with directionally-flowing medium includes a container (1) filled with medium, a heat source (7) for heating the medium in the container (1) and a one-way check valve (3). The inflow pipe (12) and the outflow pipe (11) of the container (1) are separate. The one-way check valve (3) is disposed in the inflow pipe (12). A circulating heating system is primarily composed of the above heating device (10) with directionally-flowing medium and a radiator (6).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a pipe conduit for connecting at least one solar collector to a water tank or for connecting a storage collector or a thermosyphon system to a receiver. Said pipe conduit comprises at least one return line and at least one feed line and an insulating device that surrounds the return line and the feed line over at least one part of its length. Said insulating device comprises a heat insulating envelope surrounding both the return pipe and the feed pipe over at least one part of its length, in an area arranged at a distance from the solar collector or the storage collector or the thermosyphon system and/or the water tank or the receiver, and the heat insulating envelope surrounds separately the return line and the feed line over one part of its length, in an area that is arranged close to the solar collector or the storage collector or the thermosyphon system and/or the water tank or the receiver. In an area that is close to the solar collector or the storage collector or the thermosyphon system, the insulating device has a higher quality than in the area that is at a distance from the solar collector or the storage collector or the thermosyphon system.
Abstract:
A hot water storage tank of a solar energy utilization system has its interior horizontally partitioned into a series of tank sections by thermally insulated vertical baffles. The lower end of each tank section is connected to the upper end of the next tank section in the series. Water inside the tank is thermally stratified both horizontally from one section to the next and also vertically within each section of the tank. As a result, energy loses within in tank are significantly reduced.
