Description

  The present invention relates to a condensate neutralizer for neutralizing acidic condensate generated when a latent heat is recovered from combustion gas or other gas containing latent heat, and a hot water apparatus such as a hot water supply apparatus provided with the same. About.

  As is well known, an example of a hot water supply apparatus is one that recovers sensible heat and latent heat from a combustion gas generated by a combustor using a heat exchanger. In such a type of hot water supply apparatus, with the recovery of latent heat from the combustion gas, water vapor in the combustion gas is condensed and a large amount of condensed water is generated. In general, this condensed water becomes a strong acidity of about PH3 that absorbs sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and the like in the combustion gas. Therefore, if this condensed water is drained into a general pipe with strong acidity, the pipe will be corroded and environmental deterioration such as water pollution will be caused.

  Therefore, the present applicant has previously proposed a condensate neutralizer as described in Patent Document 1, which is shown in FIG. The condensed water neutralizer Ae shown in the figure has a configuration in which a granular neutralizing agent 1 such as calcium carbonate is accommodated in a container 8 having an inlet 80 and an outlet 81 for condensed water. . A plurality of partition walls 82a to 82c extending in the vertical direction are provided in the container 8, and when condensed water is introduced into the container 8, the condensed water is partitioned by the plurality of partition walls 82a to 82c. It flows in a meandering up and down area, and is neutralized in this process. When the condensed water is meandered in the container 8, the flow path length of the condensed water becomes long, so that it is possible to appropriately neutralize the condensed water while suppressing an increase in the size of the container 8.

  The above-described condensed water neutralizer Ae is also provided with an auxiliary discharge port 84 for draining water. The auxiliary discharge port 84 is normally set so as not to discharge condensed water to the outside. For example, when performing maintenance or preventing the condensed water in the container 8 from freezing in winter. In this case, it is used to extract condensed water in the container 8 (more specifically, condensed water existing in the region on the left side of the partition wall 82b in the container 8 in FIG. 7).

  On the other hand, if the neutralizing agent 1 enters the auxiliary discharge port 84 to cause clogging, it is difficult to drain water from this portion. Therefore, the auxiliary discharge port 84 is disposed at a location near the one side wall 85 of the container 8, and the cover wall portion 86 that covers the upper side of the auxiliary discharge port 84 using the one side wall 85 and the surrounding wall portion. The periphery of the upper opening of the auxiliary outlet 84 is used as a space 87 for preventing the entry of a neutralizing agent.

  However, the prior art still has room for improvement as described below.

  That is, when the condensed water neutralizer Ae is used, two pipe bodies 7C and 7D such as a resin hose for guiding condensed water to a desired position are connected to the outlet 81 and the auxiliary outlet 84. The Therefore, in order to improve the handling of the condensed water neutralizer Ae, it is desirable to facilitate the handling of the two pipe bodies 7C and 7D. When the condensate neutralizer Ae is used by being incorporated in, for example, an exterior case (not shown) surrounding the entire hot water supply device, the two tubes 7C and 7D have a large space below the container 8. In some cases, it is desired to reduce the overall size by arranging the desired devices / equipment efficiently below the condensate neutralizer Ae.

  On the other hand, in the said prior art, the discharge port 81 and the auxiliary | assistant discharge port 84 are provided in the width direction both ends of the container 8, and those space | interval La is large. For this reason, the space | interval of the two pipe bodies 7C and 7D also becomes large, and these produce bulkiness. Therefore, it is difficult to arrange them, and it may be difficult to secure a large space below the condensed water neutralizer Ae. In addition, even if these are bundled by bending the area | region near the upper end of one tubular body 7C to the other tubular body 7D side, as shown to the virtual line of the figure, the upper part of tubular body 7C is the container 8 It may occupy a large space in the lower area, which may be an obstacle to arrange other devices.

JP 2006-130422 A

  The present invention has been conceived under the circumstances described above, and the pipe body is provided at the condensed water discharge port and the auxiliary discharge port while preventing problems such as an increase in manufacturing cost as much as possible. An object of the present invention is to provide a condensate neutralizer capable of obtaining the advantage of facilitating handling when connected, and a hot water device provided with the same.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

The condensed water neutralizer provided by the first aspect of the present invention includes a container having an inlet and an outlet for condensed water and containing a neutralizing agent therein, and an intermediate portion in the width direction of the bottom of the container. The container is divided into a first region connected to the introduction port and a second region connected to the discharge port, and the condensed water introduced to the introduction port is A partition wall that regulates the flow of the condensed water so as to reach the discharge port by sequentially proceeding through the first and second regions, and the discharge port provided separately from the container; and An auxiliary discharge port for extracting condensed water existing in the region of the outside, and covering at least the upper region of the auxiliary discharge port, and the upper opening peripheral portion of the auxiliary discharge port as a space for preventing the entry of the neutralizing agent A condensate neutralization comprising a cover wall portion to be formed A is, the auxiliary discharge port is provided in the width direction intermediate portion of the bottom of the container, the cover wall portion, said being constructed using the partition wall, preventing the neutralizing agent enters At one end of the space portion, a slit is formed to prevent the neutralizing agent from entering the space portion from the first region, and the bottom surface of the space portion for preventing the entry of the neutralizing agent is The inclination is such that the height of the auxiliary discharge port decreases from the periphery of the upper opening of the auxiliary discharge port toward the slit. It is characterized in that the substance can be promoted to move toward the slit and return to the first region .

According to such a configuration, since the auxiliary discharge port is provided in the intermediate portion in the width direction of the bottom of the container, the interval between the auxiliary discharge port and the discharge port can be made smaller than in the case of the prior art. it can. Therefore, when two tubes are connected to the discharge port and the auxiliary discharge port, these two tubes can be brought close to each other, and their handling is facilitated. In addition, since the two pipe bodies can be prevented from being present below the container at a large interval, it is possible to secure a large space below the container and arrange other devices / equipment. It becomes possible to carry out easily and appropriately. As a more important effect, according to the present invention, the cover wall portion for suppressing the neutralizer from entering the auxiliary discharge port is configured using a partition wall that defines the flow of condensed water in the container. Therefore, the configuration is reasonable, and it is not necessary to form the cover wall portion separately from the partition wall. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately avoid problems such as an increase in manufacturing cost.
Furthermore, the effect of the slit is that the neutralizing agent enters the space for preventing the neutralizing agent from entering.
Is suppressed. However, with respect to the neutralizing agent that has cracked or chipped, or the neutralizing agent powder generated by rubbing the neutralizing agent, it passes through the slit and enters the space for preventing the neutralizing agent from entering. There may be cases. On the other hand, according to the above-described configuration, since such an entering matter can be expected to be returned to the outside of the space portion by the tilting action of the bottom surface of the space portion for preventing the entry of the neutralizing agent, The likelihood that the powder will enter the auxiliary outlet and become clogged is less.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the partition wall has an upper region that is connected to an upper portion of the cover wall portion and extends further upward than the cover wall portion, and the cover wall portion is formed of the upper region. The auxiliary discharge port is provided closer to the discharge port than the lower end of the upper region.

  According to such a configuration, the auxiliary discharge port can be brought closer to the discharge port, and it is possible to further improve the handling of the two pipe bodies connected to these.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first region in the container has a portion extending in a substantially horizontal shape at a position higher than the space for preventing entry of the neutralizing agent. The wall portion is provided, and the neutralizing agent and its powder existing on the wall portion can be prevented from falling toward the bottom portion of the first region.

  According to such a configuration, since the neutralizer powder is prevented from falling toward the bottom of the first region, the powder is also prevented from proceeding toward the auxiliary outlet. The Therefore, the possibility of clogging the auxiliary discharge port can be further reduced.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the neutralizing agent receiving wall portion is provided separately from the partition wall and the partition wall, and defines a flow of condensed water flowing into the first region. It is provided in at least one of the other partition walls.

  According to such a configuration, since the wall portion for receiving the neutralizing agent is configured by using the partition wall for defining the flow of the condensed water, the complexity of the structure is suppressed and the manufacturing cost is reduced. It is suitable for suppressing the rise of the.

  The hot water apparatus provided by the second aspect of the present invention includes a heat exchanger capable of recovering latent heat from combustion gas or other gas containing latent heat, and neutralizing treatment of condensed water generated in accordance with the latent heat recovery. A condensate water neutralizer for carrying out, wherein the condensate water neutralizer provided by the first aspect of the present invention is used as the condensate neutralizer. It is said.

  According to such a configuration, the same effect as described for the condensed water neutralizer provided by the first aspect of the present invention can be obtained.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 3 show an embodiment of a condensate neutralizer according to the present invention. As clearly shown in FIG. 1, the condensate neutralizer A of the present embodiment includes a container 2 in which a neutralizing agent 1 is housed (a part of the neutralizing agent 1 is omitted in the drawing). ing). The neutralizing agent 1 is, for example, granular calcium carbonate. This condensed water neutralizer A is used, for example, to neutralize acidic condensed water generated in a hot water apparatus B described later.

  The container 2 is a blow molded product made of polypropylene or other synthetic resin. However, the forming means of the container 2 is not limited to this, and for example, a means in which the container 2 in a state of being divided into two parts is injection-molded and then bonded together can be employed. The container 2 includes a condensate inlet 20, a discharge port 21, an auxiliary discharge port 22, a plurality of partition walls 23 </ b> A to 23 </ b> C, a cover wall portion 25 that forms a space portion 24 for preventing the entry of a neutralizer, The inlets 30a and 30b for the Japanese medicine are formed.

  The plurality of partition walls 23 </ b> A to 23 </ b> C are provided so as to divide the inside of the container 2 into a plurality of regions 29 a to 29 d in the width direction of the container 2 (left and right direction in FIG. 1). The flow of the condensed water is regulated so that the condensed water flowing into the inside meanders up and down as shown by arrows in the figure and finally reaches the discharge port 21. Acidic condensed water is neutralized by contact with the neutralizing agent 1 in the process described above. In addition, when the condensed water meanders up and down as in the present embodiment, the flow path length becomes long, so the overall size of the container 2 is reduced and the amount of the neutralizing agent 1 is reduced. In addition, it is possible to sufficiently neutralize the condensed water.

  The discharge port 21 is a part for discharging the condensed water that has been subjected to the neutralization process to the outside of the container 2, and is provided at a lower portion on one end side in the width direction of the container 2. A tube body 7A such as a resin hose for guiding condensed water to a desired position is connected to the discharge port 21. An upper region 29e of the discharge port 21 is partitioned from a region 29d through a wall portion 28 in which a slit 28a is formed at the top. The slit 28a has an opening width that suppresses the ingress of the neutralizing agent 1 while allowing the ingress of condensed water into the region 29e. As shown in FIG. 2, the partition walls 23 </ b> A to 23 </ b> C deform a plurality of portions 2 a ′ facing each other out of the pair of wall portions 2 a facing in the thickness direction of the container 2 toward the center in the thickness direction of the container 2, and It is formed by joining them together. The slit 28a is formed by keeping the tip portions of the portions 2a "facing each other apart from each other without contacting each other.

  In FIG. 1, the auxiliary discharge port 22 is provided in a region 29 a when performing maintenance of the condensed water neutralizer A or when it is desired to prevent the drainage of condensed water due to freezing in the container 2. , 29b to extract the condensed water to the outside. Condensed water in the regions 29c and 29d is discharged from the discharge port 21 and can be set at the same water level as the lower end height H2 of the slit 28a. However, the condensed water in the regions 29a and 29b is discharged from the discharge port 21. Since it cannot be discharged to the outside via the auxiliary discharge port 22, an auxiliary discharge port 22 is provided in order to discharge it. As will be described later, the auxiliary discharge port 22 is connected to a tube 7B such as a resin hose provided with a valve or a plug that is normally closed. The auxiliary discharge port 22 is provided in the intermediate portion in the width direction of the bottom 2 b of the container 2. Thus, the interval L1 between the auxiliary discharge port 22 and the discharge port 21 is reduced.

  The partition wall 23 </ b> B extends upward from the intermediate portion in the width direction of the bottom 2 b of the container 2. Of the plurality of regions 29a to 29d, regions 29a and 29b on the right side of the drawing with respect to the partition wall 23B correspond to an example of the first region in the present invention. The regions 29c and 29d on the left side of the drawing with respect to the partition wall 23B correspond to an example of the second region in the present invention.

  The cover wall portion 25 is configured by a lower portion of the partition wall 23B, and stands up obliquely upward from one side portion of the auxiliary discharge port 22 in the bottom portion 2b of the container 2, thereby One side region and the upper region are covered. The cover wall portion 25 protrudes closer to the discharge port 21 than the lower end 23B ″ of the region 23B ′ above the cover wall portion 25 in the partition wall 23B. As a result, the auxiliary discharge port 22 It is provided closer to the discharge port 21 than the lower end 23B ″. Such a configuration is more preferable when the interval L1 between the auxiliary discharge port 22 and the discharge port 21 is reduced.

  The space 24 for preventing the entry of the neutralizing agent has a slit 24a extending in the vertical direction at one end thereof, and is configured to communicate with the regions 29a and 29b via the slit 24a (see also FIG. 3). ). The slit 24a has an opening width that suppresses the ingress of the neutralizing agent 1 and allows the condensed water to enter, similarly to the slit 28a described above. However, when the neutralizing agent 1 is rubbed to generate a powder, or when the neutralizing agent 1 is cracked to generate fine chips, these pass through the slit 24a and enter the space 24. There is a possibility of entering.

  As clearly shown in the enlarged view of the I part in FIG. 1, the bottom surface 24 b of the space part 24 is inclined by an appropriate angle α with respect to the horizontal axis C <b> 1, and is slit from the upper opening periphery of the auxiliary discharge port 22. The height decreases as it goes toward 24a. Here, “inclination” of the bottom surface 24 b means that the bottom surface 24 b is inclined in the original attachment posture of the condensed water neutralizer A. The bottom surface 24b is formed so as to be higher than the bottom surface 2b ′ of the regions 29a and 29b by an appropriate dimension H1, and it is difficult for the neutralizer 1 powder to enter the space 24 from the bottom surface 2b ′. ing. In addition, when condensed water is extracted using the auxiliary discharge port 22, condensed water remains at the bottom of the regions 29a and 29b at a water level of height H1, but even if this portion freezes, The condensed water flow path from the inlet 20 to the outlet 21 is not blocked by the portion, and the condensed water can be appropriately guided to the outlet 21. This is the same when condensed water remains in the regions 29c and 29d at the water level H2 and this portion is frozen.

  The partition wall 23A is formed in a bent shape, and includes two neutralizing agent receiving wall portions 230a to 230b extending substantially horizontally. On the other hand, the partition wall 23B includes a neutralizing agent receiving wall portion 230c that branches from a portion extending upward and extends substantially horizontally. These wall portions 230a to 230c for receiving the neutralizing agent serve to make the neutralizing agent 1 located on the upper surface and the powder thereof difficult to fall down, and both of the regions 29a and 29b are provided. Among these, it is provided at a position higher than the space portion 24.

  The inlets 30 a and 30 b for the neutralizing agent are provided at the upper part of both end portions in the width direction of the container 2 and are normally closed by the lid body 6. The neutralizing agent 1 can be input to the region 29a from the input port 30a, and the neutralizing agent 1 can be input to the regions 29b to 29d from the input port 30b. A pair of electrodes 60 for detecting an abnormal rise in the level of condensed water is also provided on the upper portion of the container 2. A pair of wiring cords (not shown) to which a voltage is applied is connected to the pair of electrodes 60. For example, clogging occurs in the container 2 or a downstream path thereof, and the level of condensed water in the container 2 is abnormal. When it rises, the lower ends of the pair of electrodes 60 are both immersed in the condensed water and are electrically connected, and a predetermined signal output is made.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a hot water device provided with the condensed water neutralizer A described above.

  A hot water apparatus B shown in FIG. 4 includes a combustor 91 provided in a can 90 having an exhaust port 99 in the upper part, a blower blower 92 for sending combustion air upward from below the combustor 91, and a heat transfer tube. A heat exchanger 93 having 93a and an outer case 94 covering the whole are provided. The combustor 91 is, for example, a gas combustor or an oil combustor. The heat exchanger 93 includes a primary heat exchange unit 93A capable of recovering sensible heat from the combustion gas generated by the combustor 91, and a secondary heat exchange unit 93B capable of recovering latent heat. The water supplied to the water inlet 930 of the heat transfer tube 93a passes through the secondary heat exchanger 93B and the primary heat exchanger 93A and is heated and then supplied from the hot water outlet 931 to a predetermined hot water supply destination. Below the secondary heat exchange section 93B, there is provided a member 95 that receives acidic condensed water generated along with the recovery of latent heat.

  The condensed water neutralizer A is disposed in the outer case 94, and the condensed water received by the member 95 is guided to the inlet 20 of the condensed water neutralizer A through the pipe 96a. The tubes 7A and 7B connected to the discharge port 21 and the auxiliary discharge port 22 of the condensed water neutralizer A are provided so as to guide the condensed water discharged from the container 2 to the outside of the outer case 94. The tube body 7B is provided with an opening / closing valve 70 or a plug in place of the valve body 7B. In normal times, the condensed water in the container 2 is prevented from being discharged from the auxiliary discharge port 22 to the outside. .

  Next, the effect | action of the condensed water neutralizer A and the hot water apparatus B provided with this is demonstrated.

  In the condensate neutralizer A, as shown in FIG. 1, the discharge port 21 is located at one end portion in the width direction of the container 2, whereas the auxiliary discharge port 22 is provided in the intermediate portion in the width direction of the container 2. The interval L1 between the discharge port 21 and the auxiliary discharge port 22 is reduced. In particular, the cover wall portion 25 is formed to protrude closer to the discharge port 21 than the lower end 23B ″ of the upper region 23B ′ of the partition wall 23B, and the auxiliary discharge port 22 is provided closer to the discharge port 21 than the lower end 23B ″. Therefore, the interval L1 can be further reduced. With such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 4, the two tubes 7A and 7B are gathered together in a narrow state and arranged below one end in the width direction of the container 2, The area other than can be a relatively large space. For this reason, it becomes suitable for arrange | positioning the other component apparatus of the hot water apparatus B efficiently in space efficiently using the lower area | region of the container 2. FIG. Further, if the interval between the two tubular bodies 7A and 7B is reduced, they can be easily routed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the cover wall portion 25 of the condensate neutralizer A covers one side and the upper region of the auxiliary outlet 22, and the neutralizing agent 1 enters the auxiliary outlet 22. Although it suppresses, this cover wall part 25 is rationally comprised using a part of partition wall 23B which prescribes | regulates the flow of the condensed water in the container 2. FIG. For this reason, unlike the case where the partition wall 23B and the cover wall portion 25 are provided separately, for example, it is possible to avoid complication of the structure of the container 2 and prevent an increase in the manufacturing cost of the condensed water neutralizer A. Can also be obtained.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described below, an effect of more thoroughly preventing the neutralizing agent 1 from entering the auxiliary discharge port 22 and causing clogging can be obtained. That is, as described with reference to the enlarged view of the portion I in FIG. 1, the bottom surface 24b of the space portion 24 for preventing the entry of the neutralizing agent is inclined so that the height becomes lower toward the slit 24a side. For this reason, even if the powder of the neutralizing agent 1 existing in the regions 29a and 29b passes through the slit 24a and enters the space 24, the powder subsequently moves toward the slit 24a along the inclination of the bottom surface 24b. And the effect | action returned to the area | regions 29a and 29b side can be expected. When such an action occurs, the amount of the neutralizing agent powder that enters and stays in the space portion 24 is reduced, and the auxiliary discharge port 22 is less likely to be clogged.

  Further, the regions 29a and 29b in the container 2 are provided with a total of three neutralizing agent receiving wall portions 230a to 230c extending substantially horizontally using the partition walls 23A and 23B. The neutralizing agent 1 and its powder located on the wall portions 230a to 230c for receiving the sump are in a state in which they are difficult to fall downward. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the amount of powder of the neutralizing agent 1 that proceeds toward the space portion 24 after falling to the bottom of the regions 29a and 29b, and this also suppresses clogging of the auxiliary discharge port 22. The effect will be obtained.

  The present invention is not limited to the contents of the above-described embodiment. The specific configuration of each part of the condensate neutralizer and the hot water device according to the present invention can be varied in design in various ways.

  In the above-described embodiment, the cover wall portion 25 has a very simple form in which the cover 2 rises obliquely from the bottom 2b of the container 2 and can be easily formed. However, in the present invention, other forms are adopted. be able to. For example, it is good also as a form as shown in FIG.5 and FIG.6. The cover wall portion 25A shown in FIG. 5 has an upright portion 250a that rises upward from the bottom portion 2b of the container 2, and a portion 250b that extends in a substantially horizontal direction from the upper end of the upright portion 250a. In the cover wall portion 25B shown in FIG. 6, a branch portion 250d extending in a substantially horizontal direction is connected to a standing portion 250c that rises upward from the bottom portion 2b of the container 2. The cover wall portion 25B protrudes from the lower end 23B ″ of the upper region 23B ′ of the partition wall 23B toward the side opposite to the discharge port 21, and the protruding direction is opposite to that of the above-described embodiment. Such a configuration is slightly disadvantageous in making the auxiliary discharge port 22 approach the discharge port 21 as compared with the above-described embodiment, but such a configuration may be used in the present invention.

  In the above-described embodiment, the three partition walls 29A to 29C are provided in the container 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. In short, it is only necessary to provide at least one partition wall that rises upward from the bottom of the container and divides the interior of the container into first and second regions. The specific shape, size, material, etc. of the container are not limited.

  As the neutralizing agent, a substance other than calcium carbonate can be used. The condensate neutralizer according to the present invention can be used for various applications as long as it is an application for neutralizing condensate generated along with the recovery of latent heat from combustion gas and other gas containing latent heat. For example, it can also be used by being incorporated in a device different from the hot water device. The hot water device according to the present invention is a concept that broadly refers not only to a hot water supply device but also to all devices having a function of generating hot water.
