Description

Electrolysis type water heating apparatus and heating system using the same {Electrolysis Type Water Heating Apparatus and Radiator System using thereof}

The present invention relates to an electrolysis-type hot water heating device and a heating system using the same, which installs an internal electrode and an external electrode surrounding it, and supplies power to the space between them to apply power while inducing electrolysis of water. A device for heating hot water using heat generated in the space between the inner and outer electrodes as the process of generating and recombining gases (H2 and O2) and ions (H +, O2-, OH-) through the electrolysis process is repeated. And a heating system using the same.

The method of heating water using an electric boiler is usually by inserting an electric heating element in a hot water tank to receive heat from the heating element. In the method of heating water without using an electric heating element, there is an electrode boiler that heats the internal fluid with a current generated by ion movement by passing a vibration current to the electrode, and may be caused by cavitation caused by rotation of a disk or cylinder with multiple grooves. There are a hot water generator using fluid dynamics that generates heat (Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0022704) and a vortex heating device that generates heat by generating vortices through forced flow of water (Registered Patent No. 10-0821935).

Conventional electrode boilers generate heat due to ion conduction of water itself and constrained electric flow, and are realized with the power of a constant balanced electricity. The disadvantage of this technique is that it requires high operating current, and it is difficult to realize high efficiency heat generation due to the rapid corrosion of the electrode surface during electrolysis.

A hot water generator that generates cavitation by heating a grooved disc or a cylindrical rotation or a vortex heating device that generates and heats a forced vortex requires a huge power device that generates kinetic energy corresponding to the generated heat, resulting in high manufacturing cost. , There is a problem that the vibration and noise are large and the device is easily worn.

In order to solve this problem, a heat generating device (registration patent No. 10-1668985) for generating heat by using electrolysis was developed as shown in FIG. 1, a water tank 100 provided with an internal space; It is installed in the inner space of the water tank 100, circular, elliptical, egg-shaped, or an internal electrode 210 in the form of a cylindrical rotating body; And, an external electrode 220 surrounding the outside of the internal electrode 210 while maintaining a predetermined distance from the internal electrode 210. A plurality of holes are formed on the surface of the external electrode 220. 225) or an incision groove is provided so that the water filled in the water tank 100 is filled in the space between the outer surface of the inner electrode 210 and the inner surface of the outer electrode 220, and the inner electrode 210 and the When power is applied to the external electrode 220, water is electrolyzed in a space between the outer surface of the inner electrode 210 and the inner surface of the outer electrode 220, and gas and ions are repeatedly generated and recombined to heat. Although it is characterized in that this occurs, the external electrode 220 and the internal electrode 210 are installed inside the water tank 100 to heat the water stored in the water tank 100, the external electrode 220 to which power is connected. ) And the entire internal electrode 210 are submerged in water. As a result, a fatal problem that a problem such as an electric leakage is likely to be raised was raised, and it took a lot of time and power unnecessarily to heat the entire water stored in the water tank 100 to an appropriate temperature, and through the water tank 100 There was also a problem that excessive heat loss to the outside occurred.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying heated hot water by generating heat using electrolysis.

The present invention comprises an inner electrode 210 and an outer electrode 220 as shown in FIG. 2.

The internal electrode 210 is a conductive metal material, and is made of a circular, elliptical, oval, or cylindrical shape as a whole. The internal electrode 210 becomes a solid type with a solid interior or an empty space formed therein. It may be a hollow type, and when manufactured as a hollow type, the entire surface is sealed, so that the inner space and the outer space of the inner electrode 210 are completely separated by the epidermis of the inner electrode 210.

The external electrode 220 is a conductive metal material, and is installed so as to be spaced apart from the internal electrode 210 by a predetermined distance, thereby surrounding the entire exterior of the internal electrode 210.

Unlike the internal electrode 210, the external electrode 220 is provided with an inlet 221 through which water flows and an outlet 222 through which water is discharged.

The inlet 221 is provided on one side of the external electrode 220 to serve as an inlet for supplying water to the space between the external electrode 220 and the internal electrode 210, and the outlet 222 of the external electrode 220 It is provided on the other side and serves as an outlet for discharging heated hot water to the outside in a space between the external electrode 220 and the internal electrode 210.

In the space between the outer surface of the inner electrode 210 and the inner surface of the outer electrode 220 when power is applied to each of the inner electrode 210 and the outer electrode 220 combined with the structure shown in FIG. 2 or 3. Electrolysis of water is made, and gas and ions are generated and recombined repeatedly, and heat is generated to heat the water.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a single-phase or three-phase pulse power may be used. The pulse power can be applied in the form of a square wave.

When AC power is applied as described above, hydrogen, oxygen, anions, and cations are alternately generated at either one of the external electrode 220 and the internal electrode 210 to mix faster and promote vortex generation, and micro bubbles (micro When the temperature of the bubble rises due to the generation and expansion of vortex) and reaches a threshold, heat is additionally generated by a chemical reaction that is reduced to water again. As this process is repeated, the space between the outer electrode 220 and the inner electrode 210 The temperature and pressure are rapidly increased, and the hot water heated in the space between the external electrode 220 and the internal electrode 210 escapes to the outside through the outlet 222 and new water is supplied to the external electrode 220 through the inlet 221. ) And the inner electrode 210.

In addition, the insulating spacer 250 is coupled to maintain watertightness with the internal electrode connection terminal 230 and the external electrode 220 to prevent water from leaking between the external electrode 220 and the internal electrode 210.

The internal electrode connection terminal 230 may have a structure in which a thread is provided at an inner end (an end coupled with the inner electrode 210) and screwed to the surface of the inner electrode 210.

The insulating washer 255 is an insulator in the form of a washer that is inserted into the internal electrode connection terminal 230. When screwing the internal electrode connection terminal 230 to the internal electrode 210, the end of the insulation spacer 250 and the internal electrode (210) The gap between the inner electrode 210 and the outer electrode 220 is adjusted while being sandwiched between the surfaces.

That is, if the insulating washers 255 having different thicknesses are properly used, or when a plurality of thin insulating washers 255 are used, the inner electrode 210 and the outer electrode 220 are connected through the fastening of the inner electrode connection terminal 230. You can adjust the spacing between them.
