Abstract
Example embodiments relate to a device for heating a liquid. A heat exchanger device transfers thermal energy generated by an energy unit to the liquid. The liquid flows into an interior space of an internal distributor via an introducing device, and from there into the interior space of a tank.
Claims6
A device for heating a liquid, comprising:
- an energy unit, a heat exchanger device, and a tank,
- wherein the energy unit generates thermal energy,
- wherein the heat exchanger device transfers the thermal energy generated by the energy unit to the liquid,
- wherein the tank takes up the liquid,
- wherein the tank has at least one medium inlet and one medium outlet,
- wherein at least one introducing device and an internal distributor are present in the tank,
- wherein the at least one introducing device introduces liquid entering the tank via the medium inlet into an interior space of the tank,
- wherein the at least one introducing device and the internal distributor are configured and arranged relative to each other such that liquid flows from the at least one introducing device into an interior space of the internal distributor and from the interior space of the internal distributor into the interior space of the tank,
- wherein the tank has at least one lateral wall and a transverse axis,
- wherein the at least one introducing device has a free end located in the interior space of the tank,
- wherein the free end of the at least one introducing device is directed towards the at least one lateral wall of the tank,
- wherein the internal distributor has an open side,
- wherein the open side of the internal distributor is directed towards the lateral wall,
- wherein along the transverse axis, the open side of the internal distributor is located further away from the at least one lateral wall than the free end of the at least one introducing device,
- wherein a deflecting device is present in the tank,
- wherein the free end of the at least one introducing device is directed towards an interior space of the deflecting device, and
- wherein an inner diameter of the interior space of the deflecting device is smaller than an inner diameter of the open side of the internal distributor.
