  • Patent number: 8091515
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes at least one exchanger module, including a combustion chamber for the generation of an exchange fluid, a slotted wall for the passage of the exchange fluid and an expulsion chamber for the exchange fluid provided with a discharge flue. Said exchanger module is formed by a pair of basic elements, each of which contributes to form a part of said combustion chamber, a part of said slotted wall and a part of said expulsion chamber. The basic elements are reciprocally connected in facing position so as to form a single block. The present invention facilitates the assembly operations for a heat exchanger, to obtain modular exchangers and to reduce the structural elements of the exchangers.

  • Publication number: 20100300378
    Abstract: There is described a boiler (1) including a burner (3), a heat exchanger (50) adapted to raise the temperature of a working fluid through heat exchange with an exchange fluid, including a plurality of heat exchanger modules (2) placed side by side in order to define a combustion chamber within which the burner (3) for the generation of exchange fluid is inserted, exchange walls (2C) for the passage of exchange fluid, an expulsion chamber (2D) for the exchange fluid fitted with a discharge flue (4) and a substantially parallelepiped casing (5) adapted to be filled with working fluid. The boiler includes side walls (5D) inter-connected by stay-plates (6) placed between the heat exchanger modules (2) and top and bottom walls (5B) and end walls (5C) fitted with reinforcing elements (8) which prevent their deformation due to the pressure of working fluid.

  • Publication number: 20090044931
    Abstract: There is described a heat exchanger (1) comprised of at least one exchanger module (13), comprising a combustion chamber (10) for the generation of an exchange fluid, a slotted wall (11) for the passage of the exchange fluid and an expulsion chamber (12) for the exchange fluid provided with a discharge flue (33). Said exchanger module (13) is formed by a pair of basic elements (14), each of which contributes to form a part of said combustion chamber (10), a part of said slotted wall (11) and a part of said expulsion chamber (12). The basic elements (14) are reciprocally connected in facing position so as to form a single block. The present invention allows to facilitate the assembly operations for a heat exchanger, to obtain modular exchangers and to reduce the structural elements of the exchangers.

  • Patent number: 7044123
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat exchanger and condensation combustion chamber assembly, comprising a plurality of tubes and including a front plate and a rear plate connected to the combustion chamber with a drop pattern. Each of the heat exchanger tubes comprises a variable area cross section, with a flat portion at a middle region, to provide a larger thermal exchange surface. The middle region is subjected to a crossed cut molding process to provide a helical type of fume path, suitable to enhance the efficiency of the assembly, owing to an increased thermal exchange between the fumes and heated air flows. The combustion chamber having a cross section of drop shape allows to properly solve the problem related to the very high temperatures generated by recent cylindrical gas burners having a metal mesh surface generating great amounts of heat, which must be disposed of in a thermal exchange process with the heated air flow.
