Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to a heat exchange device and a heat source machine, and more particularly to a heat exchange device having a primary heat exchanger and a secondary heat exchanger and a heat source machine having the same.
  • a heat exchange device including a primary heat exchanger for recovering sensible heat and a secondary heat exchanger for recovering latent heat.
  • This heat exchange device is described in, for example, Japanese Laid-open No. 2017-211173 (Patent Document 1).
  • the secondary heat exchanger has a plurality of heat absorbing pipes.
  • the plurality of heat absorbing pipes are arranged vertically.
  • Each of the plurality of heat absorbing pipes extends in a zigzag manner in a forward and backward direction.
  • each of the plurality of heat absorbing pipes extends in a zigzag manner in the forward and backward direction (horizontal direction), drainage performance is poor when water is discharged from the heat absorbing pipes. Further, since a combustion gas flowing from the primary heat exchanger into the secondary heat exchanger first comes into contact with the uppermost heat absorbing pipe among the plurality of heat absorbing pipes, the uppermost heat absorbing pipe reaches the highest temperature. Therefore, scale (boiler scale) precipitated due to minerals contained in water tends to accumulate in the uppermost heat absorbing pipes more than in the heat absorbing pipes located below the uppermost heat absorbing pipe. As a result, a balance in distribution of water between the plurality of heat absorbing pipes deteriorates.
  • a heat exchange device of an embodiment of the disclosure is a heat exchange device which is capable of recovering sensible heat and latent heat of a combustion gas.
  • the heat exchange device includes a primary heat exchanger and a secondary heat exchanger.
  • the primary heat exchanger is for recovering the sensible heat of the combustion gas.
  • the secondary heat exchanger is disposed to overlap the primary heat exchanger in a vertical direction in a state in which the heat exchange device is installed and is for recovering the latent heat of the combustion gas.
  • the secondary heat exchanger includes a plurality of first pipes, and a plurality of second pipes each alternately adjacent to each of the plurality of first pipes in a direction intersecting the vertical direction.
  • Each of the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes has a plurality of linear portions and a plurality of curved portions connecting the plurality of linear portions with each other and extends in a zigzag manner in the vertical direction by the plurality of linear portions being connected to the plurality of curved portions in series.
  • Each of the plurality of linear portions of each of the plurality of second pipes is disposed to be displaced from one of the plurality of linear portions of one of the plurality of first pipes in the vertical direction.
  • a heat source machine of an embodiment of the disclosure includes the above-described heat exchange device, and a burner.
  • the burner is disposed on a side of the primary heat exchanger opposite to the secondary heat exchanger.
  • the burner is formed to be able to supply the combustion gas in the order of the primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger.
  • FIG. 1 a diagram schematically showing a configuration of a heat source machine according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing a configuration of a heat exchange device according to the embodiment of the disclosure.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view showing an internal structure of the heat exchange device according to the embodiment of the disclosure with a broken line.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view schematically showing a configuration of a secondary heat exchanger according to the embodiment of the disclosure.
  • FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view schematically showing the configuration of the secondary heat exchanger according to the embodiment of the disclosure.
  • FIG. 6 is a top view schematically showing the configuration of the secondary heat exchanger according to the embodiment of the disclosure.
  • FIG. 7 is a rear view showing the internal structure of the heat exchange device according to an embodiment of the disclosure with a broken line.
  • FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII of FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IX-IX of FIG. 2 .
  • the embodiments of the disclosure provide a heat exchange device capable of improving drainage performance and improving the balance of distribution of water and a heat source machine including the same.
  • a heat exchange device of an embodiment of the disclosure is a heat exchange device which is capable of recovering sensible heat and latent heat of a combustion gas.
  • the heat exchange device includes a primary heat exchanger and a secondary heat exchanger.
  • the primary heat exchanger is for recovering the sensible heat of the combustion gas.
  • the secondary heat exchanger is disposed to overlap the primary heat exchanger in a vertical direction in a state in which the heat exchange device is installed and is for recovering the latent heat of the combustion gas.
  • the secondary heat exchanger includes a plurality of first pipes, and a plurality of second pipes each alternately adjacent to each of the plurality of first pipes in a direction intersecting the vertical direction.
  • Each of the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes has a plurality of linear portions and a plurality of curved portions connecting the plurality of linear portions with each other and extends in a zigzag manner in the vertical direction by the plurality of linear portions being connected to the plurality of curved portions in series.
  • Each of the plurality of linear portions of each of the plurality of second pipes is disposed to be displaced from one of the plurality of linear portions of one of the plurality of first pipes in the vertical direction.
  • each of the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes extends in the zigzag manner in the vertical direction by the plurality of linear portions being connected to the plurality of curved portions in series. Therefore, when water is discharged from each of the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes, the water drains from an upper side to a lower side due to gravity, and thus drainage performance can be improved. Further, since the secondary heat exchanger is disposed to overlap the primary heat exchanger in the vertical direction in the state in which the heat exchange device is installed, the combustion gas flows into the secondary heat exchanger in the vertical direction.
  • each of the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes are disposed in a direction intersecting the vertical direction, each of the plurality of first pipes and each of the plurality of second pipes comes into contact with the combustion gas uniformly. Therefore, scale (boiler scale) is deposited uniformly in each of the plurality of first pipes and each of the plurality of second pipes. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a balance in distribution of the water from deteriorating in each of the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes. That is, the balance in distribution of the water can be improved. Further, each of the plurality of linear portions of each of the plurality of second pipes is disposed to be displaced from each of the plurality of linear portions of each of the plurality of first pipes in the vertical direction. Therefore, it is possible to reduce flow path resistance when the combustion gas flows in the vertical direction between each of the plurality of linear portions of each of the plurality of first pipes and each of the plurality of linear portions of each of the plurality of second pipes.
  • the primary heat exchanger includes a plurality of fin pipes.
  • Each of the plurality of fin pipes extends in a direction in which the plurality of linear portions extend. Therefore, the combustion gas flows between each of the plurality of first pipes and each of the plurality of second pipes along a flow of combustion gas flowing between the plurality of fin pipes. Thus, it is possible to reduce the flow path resistance when the combustion gas flows from the primary heat exchanger to the secondary heat exchanger in the vertical direction.
  • the secondary heat exchanger comprises a circumferential wall portion surrounding the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes.
  • the circumferential wall portion comprises a main body portion and an expanded portion which expands outward from the main body portion.
  • Each of the plurality of first pipes and each of the plurality of second pipes are disposed in an inner space of the circumferential wall portion surrounded by the main body portion and an inner space of the circumferential wall portion expanded due to the expanded portion. Therefore, the main body portion can be made smaller than the expanded portion.
  • the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes are disposed in the inner space of the circumferential wall portion expanded due to the expanded portion, a heat transfer area of the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes can be increased as compared with a case in which the expanded portion is not provided. Thus, it is possible to improve heat exchange efficiency of the plurality of first pipes and the plurality of second pipes while the main body portion is miniaturized.
  • a heat source machine of an embodiment of the disclosure includes the above-described heat exchange device, and a burner.
  • the burner is disposed on a side of the primary heat exchanger opposite to the secondary heat exchanger.
  • the burner is formed to be able to supply the combustion gas in the order of the primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger.
