Abstract

A hot water-centered hot water and heating combination boiler includes: a cold water inflow tube through which cold water flows in; a main heat exchanger which heats the cold water flowing in through the cold water inflow tube by using the combustion heat of a burner; a hot water discharge tube which discharges the hot water heated in the main heat exchanger; an auxiliary heat exchanger which supplies heating water during a heating mode, in which heating consumption place, and causes heat exchange to occur between the heated water in the main heat exchanger and the lowered temperature returning water, in which the heating consumption place; and a control part which controls the combustion of the burner during a hot water mode and heating mode.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hot water-centered hot water and heating combination boiler comprising:
a cold water inflow tube to which cold water is introduced;
a main heat exchanger includes at least one heat exchanger for heating the cold water introduced through the cold water inflow tube by using combustion heat of a burner and a heating latent heat heat-exchanger for heating water circulating through a fluid circuit comprising a heating consumption place by using combustion heat of the burner when a heating mode is operated, the fluid circuit fluidly isolated from a circuit comprising the at least one heat exchanger;
a hot water discharge tube for discharging hot water heated in the at least one heat exchanger;
an auxiliary heat exchanger for heat-exchanging heat from water heated in the at least one heat exchanger with returning water that is reduced in temperature in the heating consumption place to supply heating water to the heating consumption place in the heating mode; and
a control part for controlling combustion of the burner in a heating hot water mode and the heating mode.

2. The hot water-centered hot water and heating combination boiler of claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one heat exchanger comprises a sensible heat heat-exchanger that absorbs combustion sensible heat of the burner and a hot water latent heat heat-exchanger having one side that is connected to the cold water inflow tube and the other end that is connected to the sensible heat heat-exchanger, the heating latent heat heat-exchanger having one side that is connected to a returning water tube to which the returning water is introduced and the other side that is connected to a heating-side heat exchange part inlet of the auxiliary heat exchanger, and the combustion gas generated from the burner is heat-exchanged while successively passing through the sensible heat heat-exchanger, the hot water latent heat heat-exchanger, and the heating latent heat heat-exchanger.

3. The hot water-centered hot water and heating combination boiler of claim 1 , further comprising:
a hot water introduction connection tube for connecting the hot water discharge tube to a hot water-side heat exchange part inlet of the auxiliary heat exchanger; and
a hot water discharge connection tube for connecting the cold water inflow tube to a hot water-side heat exchange part outlet of the auxiliary heat exchanger.

4. The hot water-centered hot water and heating combination boiler of claim 3 ,
wherein a hot water circulating pump for circulating the water discharged through the hot water-side heat exchange part outlet of the auxiliary heat exchanger into the hot water-side heat exchange part inlet via the cold water inflow tube, the main heat exchanger, and the hot water discharge tube is disposed on the hot water discharge connection tube, wherein the hot water circulating pump stops in the hot water mode and operates in the heating mode.

5. The hot water-centered hot water and heating combination boiler of claim 3 ,
wherein a hot water circulating pump for circulating the water discharged through the hot water-side heat exchange part outlet of the auxiliary heat exchanger into the hot water-side heat exchange part inlet via the cold water inflow tube, the main heat exchanger, and the hot water discharge tube is disposed on the hot water introduction connection tube, wherein the hot water circulating pump stops in the hot water mode and operates in the heating mode.

6. The hot water-centered hot water and heating combination boiler of claim 3 ,
wherein a check valve for preventing the cold water introduced through the cold water inflow tube from being introduced into the hot water discharge connection tube is disposed on the hot water discharge connection tube.

7. The hot water-centered hot water and heating combination boiler of claim 1 ,
wherein a flow switch for detecting a flow of the heating water to transmit a signal to the control part to allow the burner to perform combustion is disposed on a tube through which the heating water flows.
