Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a hot-water storage type heating unit 1 , a liquid-liquid heat exchanger 15, which exchanges heat between a first hot-water circulation circuit 12 through which hot water stored in a hot-water storage tank 11 circulates and a heating circulation circuit 14 in which the hot water flows from a radiator unit 3 for heating, is disposed above the hot-water storage tank 11 , and a circulation pump 16 is disposed in the first hot-water circulation circuit 12 on the downstream side of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger 15 . In order to return the gas, which is separated by a gas-liquid separator 17 provided so as to be interposed in the first hot-water circulation circuit 12 between the liquid-liquid heat exchanger 15 and the circulation pump 16 , to the hot-water storage tank 11 , a return passage 18 which communicates between the hot-water storage tank 11 and the gas-liquid separator 17 is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hot-water storage type heating unit, comprising: a hot-water storage tank which stores hot water in an inner portion thereof; a hot-water circulation circuit through which the hot water stored in the hot-water storage tank circulates; a radiation circuit to which a radiator is connected and in which a heating medium flows; a liquid-liquid heat exchanger which exchanges heat between the hot water which circulates through the hot-water circulatio…
