Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a boiler for making hot water and room heating water available simultaneously, which is capable of enabling a user to use hot water and room heating simultaneously. According to the present disclosure, a thermal loss of room heating water may be minimized because the room heating water is independently supplied to a room heating pipe and returned regardless of the use of hot water, and the hot water with a high temperature may be consistently supplied because the hot water is independently supplied to a hot water pipe and returned regardless of the use of the room heating water. In addition, the boiler may serve as both a hot-water heat exchanger and a distributor (low loss header).
Claims6
1] A boiler for making hot water and room heating water available simultaneously, the boiler comprising:
- a heat exchanger;
- a water tank positioned at one side of the heat exchanger and having a vacant space therein;
- a casing configured to cover the heat exchanger and the water tank;
- a first connection pipe configured to connect an upper side of the heat exchanger and an upper side of the water tank;
- a second connection pipe configured to connect a lower side of the heat exchanger and a lower side of the water tank;
- a coil pipe positioned in the water tank;
- a room heating water connection pipe configured to connect the water tank and an inlet of a room heating pipe;
- a returning water connection pipe configured to connect an outlet of the room heating pipe and the water tank;
- a direct water connection pipe configured to connect a direct water pipe and one end of the coil pipe;
- and
- a hot water connection pipe configured to connect the other end of the coil pipe and a hot water pipe.
2] The boiler of claim 1, wherein one side of the room heating water connection pipe is connected to the upper side of the water tank, and the other side of the room heating water connection pipe is connected to the inlet of the room heating pipe,
- wherein one side of the returning water connection pipe is connected to the outlet of the room heating pipe, and the other side of the returning water connection pipe is connected to the lower side of the water tank,
- wherein one side of the direct water connection pipe is connected to the direct water pipe, and the other side of the direct water connection pipe penetrates the upper side of the water tank and is connected to one end of the coil pipe, and
- wherein one side of the hot water connection pipe is connected to one end of the coil pipe, and the other side of the hot water connection pipe penetrates the water tank and is connected to an inlet of the hot water pipe.
3] The boiler of claim 1, wherein the coil pipe comprises:
- a first coil tube provided in a coil shape in a longitudinal direction of an inner peripheral edge of the water tank;
- a second coil tube provided in a coil shape inside the first coil tube and positioned in a direction opposite to the inner peripheral edge of the water tank;
- and
- a connection tube configured to connect a lower side of the first coil tube and a lower side of the second coil tube, and
- wherein the direct water connection pipe is connected to the first coil tube, and the hot water connection pipe is connected to the second coil tube.
4] The boiler of claim 1, further comprising:
- a hot returning water connection pipe having one side connected to an outlet of the hot water pipe and the other side connected to the direct water pipe.
5] The boiler of claim 1, further comprising:
- an air vent pipe protruding upward from the upper side of the water tank;
- and
- an on-off valve provided at an upper end of the air vent pipe and configured to open or close the air vent pipe,
- wherein the room heating water connection pipe is connected to one side of the air vent pipe and supplies the room heating pipe with the room heating water supplied from the water tank.
6] The boiler of claim 1, wherein the casing integrally covers the heat exchanger, the water tank, the first connection pipe, and the second connection pipe.
