FIG. 1 illustrates anindividual heating installation 2 comprising aheating system 4 with recovery of waste water heat and aheating application 6 supplied with heat by theheating system 4. - The
heating application 6 is for example a radiator circuit, for domestic hot water, a heated floor, or a hot air system. - The
heating installation 2 also includes one or several sources 8 of lukewarm waste water, receiving waste water for example from a shower, a washing machine, a dishwasher, or a tub. - The
heating system 4 comprises aholding vat 10 for holding waste water, supplied by the source 8 and aheat pump 12 using the heat provided by the waste water from thevat 10. - The
heating installation 2 also comprises acentral control unit 7 controlling theheat pump 12 and thefinal application 6. - The
heat pump 12 traditionally comprises anevaporator 14, acompressor 16, acondenser 18 and apressure regulator 20 serially connected by aprimary refrigerant circuit 22. - The
holding vat 10 includes aninternal exchanger 26 and anexternal exchanger 28 connected in parallel to theevaporator 14 by asecondary flow circuit 30 for the flow of a coolant. - The
secondary circuit 30 comprises apump 30A ensuring the flow of the coolant, abypass conduit 30B of theexchangers way control valve 30C selectively ensuring the closing of the by-pass conduit 30B or theexchangers - The
secondary circuit 30 also comprises a control andregulation unit 30D controlling the three-way control valve 30C and thepump 30A, and atemperature sensor 30E for the coolant flowing in thesecondary circuit 30. The control andregulation unit 30D receives a temperature measurement signal provided by thetemperature sensor 30E, and is connected to thecentral unit 7. - The
secondary circuit 30 is also connected to anexpansion tank 30F. - The waste
water holding vat 10 will now be described in more detail, in reference toFIGS. 2 to 4 . - The
vat 10 empties by overflowing: the water enters thevat 10 and emerges from it by overflowing through an outlet when the level of the water in the vat reaches that of the outlet. - The
vat 10 comprises acasing 34 delimiting aninner space 36 for holding waste water, a waste water inlet 38 into theholding space 36, and awaste water outlet 40 from theholding space 36. - The
casing 34 comprises acylindrical wall 41 with a horizontal axis, and twovertical walls 42 closing thecylindrical wall 41 at its respective ends. Theholding space 36 is delimited by the inner surface of thewalls - The
holding space 36 has a length between 1 m and 4 m, preferably between 1.4 m and 2.5 m, and a diameter between 0.4 m and 2 m, preferably between 0.4 m and 1 m. The dimensions are chosen as a function of thefinal application 6. - The
waste water inlet 38 and thewaste water outlet 40 are respectively formed in the oppositevertical walls 42, each via an opening passing through thewall 42 and emerging in theholding space 36. - The
inlet 38 and theoutlet 40 are situated in an upper part of theholding vat 10, at a same height. - The height of the
outlet 40 in theholding space 36 defines the maximum waste water level in theholding space 36 after which the waste water overflows from theholding space 36 via theoutlet 40. - The
vat 10 comprises a plurality ofbypass baffles 44 extending inside theholding space 36. Thebaffles 44 are arranged so as to modify the direct path of the water between theinlet 38 and theoutlet 40, by imposing a winding path bypassing thebaffles 44. - The
vat 10 comprisesseveral baffles 44 regularly distributed along the axis of thevat 10. - The
baffles 44 divide the holding space of thevat 10 into a plurality ofcompartments 46. - Each
baffle 44 in fact forms twocompartments 46 on either side. In the illustrated example, the vat has threebaffles 44 defining fourcompartments 46. - Each
baffle 44 is generally plate-shaped, more precisely in the shape of a truncated disc. They each delimit a continuous surface. - Each
baffle 44 comprises ajunction edge 48 with thecasing 34, with a shape complementary to thecasing 34, and afree edge 50 defining aflow passage 52 with thecasing 34. Theedge 50 is horizontal. - The
flow passages 52 are situated at a level lower than thewaste water outlet 40. - The
baffles 44 are parallel to each other and are arranged head-to-tail in an alternating manner. Thebaffles 44 are vertical. Theflow passages 52 are alternatively formed in the bottom and in the upper portion of theholding space 36. - In the illustrated example, one of the
baffles 44 extends protruding upwards from the bottom of thecasing 34 while twoother baffles 44 are arranged on either side and extend protruding downwards from the top of thecasing 34. - The
baffles 44 delimit, with thecasing 34, a waste water flow path from theinlet 38 towards and up to theoutlet 40. The flow path passes successively into eachcompartment 46. It comprises several changes of direction of the waste water flow, to bypass thebaffles 44. - These changes of direction are, in the illustrated example, between 90° and 180°.
- The volume of the
vat 10 is more than 20 times the passage section per unit of length of the inlet and outlet conduits, preferably greater than or equal to 40 times. - In the illustrated example, this ratio is 45.
- The travel time of the waste water along the flow path is therefore equivalent to the flow time of the waste water in a conduit with a passage section identical to the
inlet 38 and theoutlet 40, and the length of which is 45 times greater. - The
heat exchangers vat 10. Theexchangers secondary circuit 30 and each have amanual control valve 58 for regulating the flow. - The
internal exchanger 26 comprises a plurality ofconduits 60 extending inside the holdingspace 36. - Each
conduit 60 successively passes through each of thecompartments 46. Theinternal exchanger 26 is thus able to recover calories in each of the compartments defined by thebaffles 44. - The
conduits 60 are connected in parallel. They are also arranged parallel to each other. - Each
conduit 60 comprises twovertical sections 62 and ahorizontal section 64 connecting the twovertical sections 62 at their lower ends. Eachconduit 60 thus forms a U. - The
horizontal section 64 extends into the bottom of thevat 10, over substantially the entire length of thevat 10. Thehorizontal section 64 extends into theflow passages 52 defined by theupper baffles 44 and passes through thelower baffle 44. - The
external exchanger 28 comprises ahelical conduit 66 extending in a helix around thecasing 34, over substantially the entire length of thecasing 34. - The
external exchanger 28 is arranged in an insulatinglayer 68 surrounding theexternal casing 34. The insulatinglayer 68 prevents heat losses from thevat 10. - The holding
vat 10 also includes twoaccess panels 72 arranged in thevertical walls 42 of theouter casing 34, respectively. - The diameter of the
access panels 72 is substantial, in the vicinity of half of the diameter of thevat 10, for easy cleaning. - Lastly, the holding
vat 10 is provided with atemperature sensor 73 and awater level sensor 74 connected to the central control unit. - The operation of the invention will now be described.
- The starting up of the
heating installation 2 is done using thecentral control unit 7. - The
central control unit 7 sends a start-up signal to thefinal application 6, theheat pump 12, and the control andregulation unit 30D of thesecondary circuit 30. - The control and
regulation unit 30D controls thepump 30A and the three-way control valve 30C as a function of the control signals supplied by thecentral unit 7 and/or the temperature value provided by thetemperature sensor 30E. - Alternatively, the control and
regulation unit 30D also controls thecontrol valves 58 for regulating the flow of theexchangers - The flow of the coolant in the
exchangers evaporator 14 while transferring heat to the refrigerant. The latter cools in thecondenser 18 while supplying heat for thefinal application 6. - For safety and energy savings reasons, the
central control unit 7 stops the installation if the temperature value supplied by thetemperature sensor 73 of thevat 10 is too low and/or if thewater level sensor 74 detects an excessively low water level in thevat 10. - With the invention, the
baffles 44 impose a flow path on the waste water inseveral compartments 46, successively, from which theexchangers compartment 46, which ensures a significant recovery of the heat from that waste water by theexchangers installation 2 is high. The volume necessary for the holdingvat 10 is low. - The length of the flow time of the waste water around the
baffles 44 ensures optimal recovery of their heat by theexchangers - The
baffles 44 prevent a vertical heat stratification of the waste water in which the hottest water would be found in the upper portion of thevat 10, which would lead to an excessively fast flow of the hottest water. - Moreover, the
baffles 44 do not cause a risk of obstructing thevat 10. - The arrangement of the
exchangers vat 10. - The emptying of the
vat 10 by overflowing limits the risk of obstruction of thevat 10. Indeed, the presence of acontrol valve 10 at theoutlet 40 is pointless. The vat is reliable. - Moreover, the risk of obstruction of the
outlet 40 by an aggregate of particles is very low. - The use of a
secondary flow circuit 30 for a coolant connecting theexchangers evaporator 14 makes it possible to adapt the holdingvat 10 to preexisting heat pumps 12. - Moreover, the
heat pump 12 is removable without intervention on the holdingvat 10, which facilitates the assembly and maintenance operations of theinstallation 2. - Alternatively, the
heating installation 2 is that of a building. -
FIGS. 5 to 7 illustrate aheating system 4 according to a second embodiment of the invention whereof the only differences relative to the first embodiment will be described below. InFIGS. 5 to 7 , the elements similar to the first embodiment are designated using identical reference numbers. - The
heating system 4 according to the second embodiment is essentially different due to the holdingvat 10. Theinternal exchanger 26 and theexternal exchanger 28 have been replaced by asingle exchanger 76 formed by thebaffles 44 of thevat 10. - Indeed, as illustrated in
FIGS. 6 and 7 , eachbaffle 44 delimits aninternal conduit 78 for the flow of a coolant. - The
internal conduit 78 itself comprises baffles making it possible to impose a long path and a long flow time on the coolant in theinternal conduit 78, favoring heat exchanges. - The inlet of each
conduit 78 of eachbaffle 44 is connected to the outlet of theadjacent baffle 44. Thebaffles 44 are thus serially connected to form theexchanger 76. - The
baffles 44 are fastened inopenings 79 formed in thecylindrical wall 41 of thecasing 34, and connected to each other outside thecasing 34. - Moreover, the number of
baffles 44 has been increased. The number ofbaffles 44 is henceforth such that the passage section of the flow path of the waste water between thebaffles 44 is substantially constant in thevat 10. - The exchange surface of the
exchanger 76 is very substantial. -
FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate aheating system 4 according to a third embodiment of the invention, in which the only differences relative to the second embodiment of the invention will be described below. Identical reference elements designate similar elements. - The
heating system 4 according to the third embodiment essentially differs from theheating system 4 according to the second embodiment in that thevat 10 comprises horizontal baffles imposing a winding path on the bottom of thevat 10 towards theoutlet 40 at the top of thevat 10 and in that thevat 10 includes atank 82 for decanting the waste water. - The horizontal baffles 44 have a contour complementary to the
casing 34. They thus have a general rectangular contour, which facilitates their production. - Certain
horizontal baffles 44 have aninternal conduit 78 and form theexchanger 76. - In the illustrated example, only every other
horizontal baffle 44 forms theexchanger 76, the otherhorizontal baffles 44 not having a coolant flow conduit and being arranged so as to alternate with thebaffles 44 forming theexchanger 76. This reduces the bulk of thevat 10 as well as the cost of theexchanger 76. Nevertheless, alternatively, eachhorizontal baffle 44 forms theexchanger 76. - Moreover, as illustrated in
FIG. 9 , thebaffles 44 include a throughorifice 80 forming a wastewater flow passage 52. - The decanting
tank 82 is arranged in the bottom of thevat 10. It is arranged on thewaste water inlet 38 side. - The decanting
tank 82 converges downwards, more precisely is downwardly conical. Thereservoir 82 has, at its lower end, anoutlet gate 84. - The
vat 14 includes avertical inlet baffle 86 forcing the waste water entering thevat 10 to descend towards the bottom towards thetank 82, before coming back up towards theoutlet 40 while following the path defined by the horizontal baffles 44. - The operation of the decanting
tank 82 is simple. To clean thevat 10, one need only open theoutlet gate 84. The particles accumulated in thetank 82 are then discharged. - The decanting
tank 82 facilitates maintenance operations. - The arrangements of the
tank 82 and thebaffles tank 82. These arrangements also limit particles rising back up.
