Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

This specification generally relates to heating pool water.

BACKGROUND

Swimming pools have traditionally been heated using gas fired heaters. Gas fired heaters generally have a low efficiency rate, because a great amount of heat is lost to the environment. Therefore, the cost of heating pool water using gas heaters is expensive. An alternative to a gas heater is an electric pool heater, such as a heat pump. A heat pump takes warm air from the atmosphere and forces it through coils that transfer the heat to the pool water. Although more efficient than traditional gas heaters, heat pumps take a long period of time to heat up a large body of water. A second alternative to a gas heater is an electric heater that uses a heating element. These electric heaters tend to be more efficient than heat pumps because the heating element is in direct contact with the body of water. Although these electric heaters are more efficient, the size of the electric element needed to heat a large body of water makes this method of pool heating very expensive and impractical.

SUMMARY

In a general aspect, an electric heater for heating pool water includes an enclosure, a pool water inlet and a pool water outlet, a heat exchanger within the enclosure and including a plurality of metal pipes coupled to the pool water inlet and outlet, an electric heating element disposed within the enclosure and spaced apart from the plurality of metal pipes and a conduit coupled between the plurality of metal pipes and the pool water outlet.

Implementations of this aspect may include one or more of the following features. For example, the heat exchanger includes 20 to 25 metal pipes. For example, each of the plurality of metal pipes is copper pipes. For example, the electric heater further includes a thermal sensor to measure the internal temperature of the enclosure. For example, the enclosure includes a first insulated portion coupled to a second insulated portion.

Implementations may include one or more of the following aspects. For example, the electric heater further includes a first header and a second header, where the first header is in fluid communication with the pool water inlet and a first end of each of the plurality of metal pipes and the second header is in fluid communication with a second end of each of the plurality of metal pipes and the conduit.

Implementations may include one or more of the following aspects. For example the temperature-dependent flow thermostat is set to permit flow of heated pool water to the pool when the pool water heated by the exchanger reaches a temperature of about 125° F.

Implementations may include one or more of the following aspects. For example, the pool water inlet and the pool water outlet are in fluid communication with a bypass valve. For example, each of the plurality of metal pipes is the same length and is evenly spaced from each other. For example, each of the plurality of metal pipes has a diameter of about 0.5 to about 1 inch. For example, the electric heater further includes a condensation pan disposed within the enclosure.

In a general aspect, a method for heating pool water includes receiving pool water through an inlet of an electric pool water heater. The method includes flowing a portion of the pool water through a plurality of metal pipes spaced apart from an electric heating element. The method includes intermixing the portion of the pool water that has flowed through the plurality of metal pipes with a portion of the pool water flowing through a bypass valve. The method includes flowing the intermixed portions of pool water through an outlet of the electric pool water heater to the pool.

Implementations may include one or more of the following aspects. For example, the portion of the pool water that flows through the plurality of metal pipes is heated to a set temperature. For example, the pool water that flows through the plurality of metal pipes is heated to 125° F. For example, a temperature dependent thermostat is opened to allow the portion of the water that is flowed through the plurality of metal pipes to intermix with the portion of water that flows through the bypass valve when the water in the plurality of metal pipes is at the set temperature. For example, flowing a portion of the pool water through a plurality of metal pipes, including, receiving, by a first header, a portion of the pool water from the inlet and distributing, by the first header, the portion of the pool water to a first end of each of the plurality of metal pipes. For example, the portion of pool water from the inlet that is received by the first header is below a set temperature. For example, the plurality of metal pipes includes 20 to 25 pipes and the pipes have a diameter of about 0.5 to about 1 inch.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention is directed to an electric heater for heating pool water. The electric heater receives pool water and flows the pool water through a heat exchanger that is heated by an electric heating element. The heated pool water that exits the heat exchanger is intermixed with pool water that has bypassed the heater and the intermixed water is returned to the pool.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the electric pool heater 100 includes a pool water inlet 110, a pool water outlet 112, a front header 120, a heat exchanger 122, an electric heating element 124, a rear header 126, each of which are enclosed, partially or wholly, within an enclosure 136. A heat exchanger bypass valve 114 and a pool water thermistor 116 are positioned between the pool water inlet 110 and pool water outlet 112. A conduit 128 connects the rear header 126 to the front header 120 and pool water outlet 112 via an elbow 134. The pool heater 100 further includes a heated water thermostat 130, high temperature limit switch(es) 132, and a heat box thermistor 138, each of which will be described in more detail below.

The electric pool heater 100 and its constituent components can be enclosed (partially or wholly) within a housing unit 142. In some implementations, the housing unit 142 may be formed of two complimentary half sections that are joined together. In some examples, the housing unit 142 may be insulated. The pool water inlet 110 and pool water outlet 112 are connected to the body of water in the pool by pipes (not illustrated) and pipe unions 144. The pool water inlet 110 introduces water from the pool into the heater 100. A flow switch 118 is mounted on the pool water inlet 110 and monitors the flow of pool water into the pool water inlet 110. The flow switch 118 also acts as a safety device by ensuring that the heater 100 does not operate, for example, if there is no flow of pool water to the heater 100. The pool water outlet 112 transports water from the heater 100 back to the pool. The pool water outlet 112 is connected to a pipe that returns the heated water to the pool.

The pool water inlet 110 and the pool water outlet 112 are in fluid communication with a heat exchanger bypass valve 114. The heat exchanger bypass valve 114 may be a spring loaded valve that allows some or all of the pool water introduced into the pool water inlet 110 to return to the pool via the pool water outlet 112. For example, when there is no heated water returning from the heat exchanger, the pressure of the pool water flowing into pool water inlet 110 is high enough to cause the bypass valve 114 to open thereby allowing a large proportion if not a majority of the pool water to bypass the heater 100 and flow back to the pool. When, however, the pool water temperature falls below a desired temperature by an amount usually set by the heater installer or user, the pool water flows through the heat exchanger and is heated by the heater thereby causing a pressure differential by the water flowing through the pool water outlet 112 as compared to the pool water inlet 110, thereby causing the valve 114 to close such that only a portion of pool water bypasses the heat exchanger.

The pool water thermistor 116 is coupled to the pool water inlet 110, and measures the temperature of the pool water received by the pool water inlet 110. The front header 120 is in fluid communication with the pool water inlet 110 and the heat exchanger 122. The heat exchanger 122 includes a plurality of metal pipes or tubes. The heat exchanger 122 receives a portion of the pool water that enters the pool water inlet 110. The front header 120 distributes the portion of the pool water that is received by the heat exchanger 122 to the plurality of metal pipes or tubes. The plurality of metal pipes or tubes may be composed of a variety of different metals. In some examples, the heat exchanger 122 comprises 20 to 25 metal pipes or tubes. In these examples, the plurality of metal pipes may have the same length and may be spaced evenly apart from each other. For example, the plurality of metal pipes can be about 2 feet in length and spaced about 1 inch apart from each other. In one implementation, each of the plurality of metal pipes is made from copper. Other metals may also be used, such as copper alloys (e.g., copper-nickel alloy), titanium, and stainless steel. In some other examples, the diameter of each of the plurality of metal pipes or tubes is about 0.5 and 1.0 inch, for example 0.75 inches.

As shown in FIG. 1, the heat exchanger 122 is disposed within the enclosure 136. The enclosure 136 is insulated by one or more layers of insulating material 146. In some examples the enclosure is a metal heat box, for example an aluminum box. The heat box thermistor 138 is mounted to the inner wall of the enclosure 136. The thermistor 138 measures the ambient temperature within the enclosure 136. In some implementations, the enclosure 136 can be formed of two complimentary parts coupled together. The first part of the enclosure 136 can be removed to expose the plurality of metal pipes within the heat exchanger 122. FIG. 1 is a top view of the electric heater 100 with the top part of the enclosure 136 removed. The two parts of the enclosure 136 can be coupled together using a plurality of fastener mechanisms 134. For example, glue tabs and rivets can be used, either individually or in combination, to fasten the two complimentary parts of the enclosure 136 together. In other implementations, screws, bolts, or other fasteners may be used in conjunction with adhesive materials, but adhesives are not required. As illustrated in FIG. 1, when the top part of the enclosure 136 is open, the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122 and the electric heating element 124 are exposed such that, for example, a user can access the internal components for maintenance, cleaning, or the like.

The electric heating element 124 is also disposed within the enclosure 136. The electric heating element 124 can be spaced apart from the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122 such that the electric heating element 124 does not come into contact with the pool water. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the heating element 124 can be a single heating element that extends the length of the enclosure 136. In some examples, the heating element 124 can be twisted in a coil arrangement. The heating element 124 can have a power rating of about 800 watts. The heating element 124 can be a metal heating element or a ceramic heating element. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the heating element 124 is connected to a power source.

The rear header 126 is coupled in fluid communication with the end of each of the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122 and the conduit 128. The rear header 126 receives heated pool water from the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122. The rear header 126 receives the heated pool water from the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122 and converges the heated pool water into the conduit 128 via elbow 134. The heated water thermostat 130 is coupled to the rear header 126 and measures the temperature of the heated water that exits the heat exchanger 122. In one implementation, there are two high limit switches 132, one located in the elbow 134 and the other located in the rear header 126. In another implementation, a single high limit switch 132 may be mounted in either the elbow 134 or the rear header 126. Although not illustrated in FIG. 1, the high limit switch(es) 132 is connected electrically to the heating element power supply. The high limit switch 132 causes the power to the heating element 124 to switch off, when, for example, the temperature of the water in the rear header 126 is higher than a set temperature. In some examples, the high limit switch cut off temperature is set at 130° F.

The elbow 134 connects the heated water from the rear header 126 to the conduit 128. The heated water thermostat 130 measures the temperature of heated pool water at the rear header 126 and the water thermostat 130 opens to allow the heated water to flow to the conduit 128 when the water reaches a set temperature. The conduit 128 is in fluid communication with heat exchanger bypass 114. In some examples, the water thermostat 130 opens when the water is at 125° F.

In operation, pool water flows into the pool water inlet 110 of the electric heater 100. The pool water thermistor 116 that is coupled to the pool water inlet 110 measures the temperature of the incoming pool water. A desired pool water temperature is set by a user at a control panel 410 (FIG. 4) that may be mounted to an external housing 142 of the electric pool heater 100. The electric pool heater 100 helps to maintain the pool water temperature at a temperature range close to the desired temperature. For example, if the user sets the desired pool water to 75° F., the pool heater can aim to maintain the pool temperature between 74-76° F. When pool water flows into the pool water inlet 110, most of the incoming pool water flows to the heat exchanger 122. A small portion of the incoming pool water pushes up against the spring loaded heat exchanger bypass 114 and returns to the pool through the pool water outlet 112. When the pool water thermistor 116 measures the incoming pool water temperature, and the measured temperature of the water is within the temperature range of the desired pool water temperature, the heating element does not switch on. The incoming pool water fills up the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122, and the water thermostat 130 remains closed. As flow of pool water into the pool water inlet 110 continues, the incoming pool water pushes up against the spring loaded bypass valve 114. The pool water then flows up through the bypass valve 114 to the pool water outlet 112 and back to the pool. Pool water continues flowing into the pool water inlet 110 and through the heat exchanger bypass valve 114 to the pool water outlet 112 until the pool water thermistor 116 detects that the temperature of the incoming pool water is less than the set desired temperature.

When the pool water thermistor 116 detects that the incoming pool water is below the set temperature, the electric heater 100 powers on when all the safety devices are satisfied. If all the safety devices are not satisfied, the electric element is not powered on. The flow switch 118 and the high limit switch(es) 132, for example, act as safety devices. The flow switch 118 monitors the flow into the electric heater 100. When the flow switch 118 determines that the flow is below a set flow value, the flow switch safety check is not satisfied. For example, when the filter pump to the pool is off, the flow switch safety check is not satisfied. The user may be notified that the flow switch safety check is not satisfied at the control panel 410 (FIG. 4). In some examples, a light emitting diode (LED) at the control panel 410 (FIG. 4) may light red if the flow switch safety is not met. The high limit switch(es) 132 also act as a safety device. The high limit switch(es) 132 shut off the power to the heating element if the water that exits the plurality of heating tubes in the heat exchanger is at a temperature higher than a set temperature. In one implementation, the set temperature is 135° F.

If all of the safety devices are satisfied, then the electric heating element 124 is switched on. The electric heating element 124 begins to heat up the enclosure 136. The temperature of the enclosure 136 is increased to a set temperature. For example, the enclosure is heated to 200° F. In a preferred implementation, the inner wall of the enclosure 136 is lined with one or more layers of insulation 146. The temperature of the enclosure 136 is measured by the heat box thermistor 138, and is maintained at the set temperature. Although not illustrated in FIG. 1, an element relay is used to cycle the heating element 124 on and off to maintain the temperature of the enclosure 136 at the set temperature. As described earlier, the heat exchanger 122 is disposed within the enclosure 136, and includes a plurality of metal pipes or tubes. As the heating element 124 heats up the enclosure 136, the pool water in the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122 is also heated. Heat from the electric heater 124 is transferred to the pool water in the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122. In some examples, each of the plurality of metal pipes is a finned tubed copper pipe. The rate of heat exchange in the heat exchanger 122 is high due to the number of metal pipes and the diameter of each pipe. In some examples, the diameter of each of the plurality of metal pipes in the heat exchanger 122 is less than an inch and the heat exchanger comprises more than 20 metal pipes. In these examples, each metal pipe contains a small volume of pool water that can be heated up faster than a tube with a larger diameter that holds a larger volume of water. A plurality of metal pipes in the heat exchanger 122 allows more heat to be absorbed by the pool water in the pipes at a lower enclosure temperature.

As mentioned above, the heated water thermostat 130 is coupled to the rear header 126. The heated water thermostat 130 measures the temperature of the heated water that exits the heat exchanger 122. When the temperature of the heated water reaches a set temperature, heated water thermostat 130 opens to allow the water in the heat exchanger 122 to flow into the elbow 134 and into the conduit 128. The high limit switch(es) 132 act a safety device, for example, by shutting off power to the heating element 124 if the heated water exceeds a set temperature. In some examples, the high limit switch(es) 132 shut off the power to the heating element 124 when the temperature of the heated water exceeds 135° F. As the water thermostat 130 opens to allow the heated water to flow to the conduit 128, pool water that enters the heater 100 through the pool water inlet 110 flows in to fill the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122. At the same time, the heated water thermostat 130 may detect that the water in the heat exchanger 122 might drop below a set temperature and closes. While this is occurring, the heated water in the conduit 128 flows through the conduit piping towards open valve 140. In some examples, the conduit 128 is an insulated pipe that transports heated water to the pool water outlet 112. Simultaneously, a portion of the incoming pool water presses against the bottom of the spring loaded bypass 114 and flow up towards the pool water outlet 112. The incoming pool water intermixes with the heater water from the conduit 128 before flowing back to the pool.

The process of heating water in the heat exchanger 122, as described above, is repeated until the pool temperature thermistor 116 determines that the incoming pool water at the pool water inlet 110 is within the range of the set temperature. The flow of pool water through the heater 100 is continuous, if the pool water is above the set temperature and no further heating of the water is required, the incoming pool water is passed through the bypass valve 114 and flows back through the pool water outlet 112.

Referring to FIG. 2, and as discussed above, the electric pool heater 100 includes a pool water inlet 110 that is connected by pipe unions 144 to a pipe 110(a). Pipe 110(a) transports pool water to the heater 100. In some implementations, the electric pool heater 100 may be located a short distance from the pumping system of the pool. The flow switch 118 is mounted to the inlet 110 and monitors the flow of pool water into the pool water inlet. When the flow switch determines that the flow in the pool water inlet is below a set flow value, the flow switch safety check is not satisfied. For example, when the filter pump to the pool is off, the flow switch safety check is not satisfied. The pool water outlet 112 is connected to pipe 112(a) by pipe unions 144. Pipe 112(a) is in fluid communication with the pool. In some examples, pipes 110(a) and 112(a) are PVC pipes.

As discussed above, the heater 100 can include an enclosure 136, which surrounds either partially, or wholly, the heat exchanger 122, the heating element 124 and a condensation pan 125. In one implementation, the enclosure 136 is an insulated enclosure. For example, the enclosure is a metal, such as aluminum or stainless steel, box that is surrounded by one or more layers of insulating material 146. In some examples, the enclosure is a 2 feet by 2 feet square box. In some implementations, the enclosure can be formed of two complementary parts coupled together. As described with respect to FIG. 1, opening a top part of the two part enclosure 136 exposes the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger, as well as the electric heater element 124. The heat box thermistor 138 is mounted to the inner wall of the enclosure 136. The thermistor 138 measures the temperature within the enclosure 136. The condensation pan 125 is located at the base of the enclosure 136. The condensation pan 125 extends the length, or a portion thereof, of the plurality of metal pipes of the heat exchanger 122. The condensation pan 125 collects any excess moisture that may be produced as the heat exchanger heats the pool water. In some examples, the condensation pan 125 is connected to a hose (not illustrated) that flows out to the ground beneath the heater. In other examples, the condensation pan 125 is a pan that can be removed by a user and emptied.

FIG. 3 illustrates the side view of the front header 120 of the electric heater 100. In this example, the enclosure 136 is formed of two parts that are coupled together. The enclosure 136 is an insulated enclosure with a top part of the enclosure 136(a) and a bottom part of the enclosure 136(b) coupled together. In some examples, the enclosure 136 can be a metal box such as an aluminum box. The walls of the enclosure can be lined with one or more layers of insulation 146. The two parts of the enclosure 136 can be coupled together using a plurality of fastener mechanisms (not shown). For example, glue tabs and rivets can be used, either individually or in combination, to fasten the two complimentary parts of the enclosure 136 together. In other implementations, screws, bolts, or other fasteners may be used in conjunction with adhesive materials, but adhesives are not required. The top part of the enclosure 136(a) can be removed to expose the plurality of metal pipes within the heat exchanger 122. In some examples the heat box thermistor 138 is mounted to the inner wall of the bottom part of the enclosure 136(b). In other examples, the thermistor can be mounted to any section of the inner wall of the enclosure 136. The heat box thermistor 138 measures the internal temperature of the enclosure 136.

FIG. 4 is a side view of an external housing unit 400 for the electric heater 100. As mentioned earlier, the electric pool heater 100 can be contained within a housing unit. FIG. 4 is the view of the housing unit 400 from the side of the electric heater 100 with the pool water inlet 110 and pool water outlet 112. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the housing unit 400 can be formed of two complimentary halves, a top section 420 and a bottom section 430. In some examples the housing unit 400 can be an insulated housing unit. For example, the inner walls of the top section 420 and bottom section 430 of the housing unit 400 can be lined with one or more layers of insulation. In other examples, the housing unit 400 is not insulated. The housing unit 400 may be formed of a metal, for example aluminum. The bottom section 430 of the housing unit can be formed in a pentagonal shape. As illustrated the bottom section 430 can have sloped corners 440. In addition, the top section 420 can include sloped sections to allow, for example, rain water to run off the housing unit 400 as opposed to collecting on the top of the unit 400. The housing unit 440 can be mounted on or include one or more leg sections 450.

The housing unit 400 can include a side panel 460 that can have a circular cut out for each of the pool water inlet 110 and the pool water outlet 112. In some examples, the side panel 460 can be removable. The top section 420 of the housing unit can have a raised sloped corner to accommodate the conduit 128 of the electric heater than transports heated water to the pool water outlet 112. In some examples, the top section 420 of the housing unit is removable. The user control panel 410 can be mounted to the top section 420 of the housing unit 400. The control panel 410 can include a power switch, a temperature control, and a mode control. In some examples, the control panel 410 can include a digital display that displays the temperature selected by the user. The control panel 410 can also display the current pool temperature. In some implementations, the control panel 410 can include an LED that represents each safety device. For example, if the flow switch detects that the flow is lower than a selected flow value, the LED that represents the flow switch at the control panel can light up red alerting the user of low flow.

A number of implementations and alternatives have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. For example, while the illustrated examples and descriptions refer to an electric pool water heater, the heater described herein may be applied to other sources of water, including drinking water. In addition, the heater described herein may find application in certain industrial or manufacturing scenarios as well. Accordingly, other implementations are within the scope of the following claims.
