Technical Field

The present invention relates to providing a variety of services related to providing hot water, water treatment, cleaning pipes for providing drinking water or food liquids by means of a mobile device.

Background

In the prior art, there are various devices and methods related to water treatment, cleaning pipes and providing hot water. Some documents proposing these solutions are described below.

Document EP1289890 describes a device for metering reactants by dissolution in a liquid flow.

Document FR2946622 describes a method for treating the drinking water circuit of an aircraft, a device allowing the implementation of said method and an aircraft.

Document FR3011754 describes a process for cleaning the ducts of a drinking water network for aircraft.

Document EP3021989 describes a device for cleaning the ducts of a drinking water network of an aircraft. This document describes in particular an aircraft-independent device which is occasionally connected to the pipe network and supplied with liquid. This device, which comprises a number of functional elements necessary to produce hot liquid and a mobile chassis supporting a closed-furnace condensing gas boiler (boiler), houses a number of gas cylinders providing a sufficient volume of gas capable of providing the energy necessary to produce a large amount of heat in a very short period of time.

Disclosure of Invention

The applicant has carried out studies aimed at using the last device described in a greater scope. This research has led to the creation of designs and mobile devices that combine multiple functional subcomponents that not only perform the functions of the last device described in greater scope, but also implement the functions of other methods and devices.

Generally speaking, this mobile device of the invention provides services related to providing hot water, water treatment, cleaning any fixed or moving surface such as an aircraft engine, and pipes for providing drinking water or food liquids.

The combination of the addition and/or oversizing of technical means for handling large volumes, in a single mobile device with volume and mass constraints, therefore makes the characteristics of the present invention solve new technical problems.

According to the present invention, a device for services related to the provision of hot water, water treatment, cleaning of any fixed or mobile surface is excellent, since it is mobile and comprises: an internal chassis containing at the lower part a tank for recovering possible fluids, and a subassembly for producing hot water with at least one condensing boiler associated with at least one module for supplying a gas formed by a plurality of gas tanks that store in their internal volume said gas in the liquid state in said lower part and in the gaseous state in an upper part, said tanks being each equipped with a tube for the passage of said gas, said tube connecting said upper part containing said gas in the gaseous state to an open hole.

Thus, the extracted gas is systematically in the gas phase. The presence of a carburettor and/or carburettor is thus no longer necessary, which avoids additional equipment between the boiler and the reservoir. The upper volume of the cylinder serves as the evaporation chamber.

This feature thus avoids investments and saves bulk and weight of the goods to be transported.

Also according to the invention, the device for services related to the provision of hot water, water treatment, cleaning of any fixed or mobile surface is excellent in that it is mobile, comprising: an internal chassis housing in the lower part a tank for recovering possible fluids, and a subassembly for producing hot water with at least one condensation boiler associated with at least one module for supplying gas formed by a plurality of cylinders of the evaporation type which store in their internal volume said gas in the liquid state in the lower part and in the gaseous state in the upper part, said cylinders being disposed substantially horizontally in the internal chassis with the open holes oriented upwards, so that the ends of the tubes for the passage of said gas lead to a larger elongated gas-containing part.

The presence of the chassis serves as an interface for positioning and holding in place between the vehicle walls formed by the device and the functional sub-assembly. The chassis allows the cylinder to be received according to an optimized orientation. The presence of a tank for recovering possible fluids avoids the accumulation of fluids in said volume.

The device of the invention comprises at least one inlet pipe and cable for connection to a source for supplying cold water and a source for supplying electric power. The gas required by the boiler is stored in gas cylinders delivered by the device.

The device of the invention further comprises at least one outlet pipe allowing itself to be connected to the installation requiring its intervention, for example:

-a drinking water pipe network of a vehicle such as an aircraft,

-a utility conduit in which the food liquid circulates,

-a water pipe network requiring hot water,

any stationary or moving surface to be cleaned, such as an aircraft engine,

-and the like.

An advantage of such a device is that it allows to combine together, in the same mobile volume, a plurality of functional subassemblies capable of carrying out, in combination or not, a plurality of services related to the use of the above-mentioned facilities.

The mobile device is a truck or van-type vehicle equipped with an available volume in which the chassis and various subassemblies thereon are disposed.

The functional subassemblies housed on the chassis are for example:

-a sub-assembly for producing hot water,

-a sub-assembly for treating a liquid,

a sub-assembly for metering the injection of cold water,

-and the like.

In order to produce a larger volume of hot water, still in a very short time, the subassembly for producing hot water comprises a plurality of independent condensing gas boilers. This subassembly adds to the installation described in document EP3021989 in order to enhance its capacity.

According to a preferred but non-limiting embodiment, the subassembly combines three independent identical boilers.

The addition of a boiler to heat water from the same source and provide hot water to the same destination requires specific features.

Thus, according to the invention, the device comprises a pipe for the input of the cold water and a pipe for the output of the hot water, the order of supplying water to the boiler being influenced by the position of the boiler relative to the pipe for the input of the cold water and the order of outputting the hot water being opposite to the order of outputting the hot water being influenced by the position of the boiler relative to the pipe for the output of the hot water.

The functional sub-assembly for treating a liquid is a sub-assembly for treating a liquid by dissolving a solid treatment product in a stream of the liquid, the solid treatment product being packaged in tablet form, stacked in a replaceable cartridge (cartridge). According to the invention, this subassembly is excellent since the base into which the filter cartridge is inserted is equipped with a tank for recovering water that can leak during the replacement of the filter cartridge.

This feature avoids spraying liquid from this subassembly into the usable volume.

The subassembly for metering the injection of cold water comprises a cold water metering pump which injects the cold water into the outlet pipe of the device to regulate flow and temperature.

The boiler obtains electric power by accessing to a power grid. The device of the invention comprises, in addition to the module for supplying gas, a module for supplying electric power equipped with means for controlling the polarity which verify that the module for supplying electric power is compatible with the power supply of the boiler, if not, a rectifier is activated.

The basic concept, further details and features of the invention described above, in its most basic form only, will become more apparent upon reading the following description and with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are given as non-limiting exemplary embodiments of the device according to the invention.

Drawings

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing various functional subcomponents of the device;

fig. 3 is a diagram of a cross-sectional view of a vaporization gas cylinder (vaporization cylinder).

Detailed Description

As shown in the drawing of fig. 1, the device, generally designated D, is a self-propelled mobile device, such as a truck or van, the rear or usable volume of which contains the functional subassemblies necessary for the provision of hot water, the cleaning of pipes for water or for food liquids.

The device D is moved at its point of use, for example an aircraft workshop, with the aim of cleaning the pipes forming the drinking water network of the aircraft.

The device D is equipped with a pipe E for the input of liquid and a pipe S for the output of liquid that has flowed through at least one of the functional subassemblies with which the device D is equipped.

As shown, the lower portion of the available volume is occupied by a tank 100 for recovering fluid and a grid 110 disposed on the tank 100. The upper portion houses a chassis 120 for supporting various functional subassemblies. The upper wall of the truck is provided with openings 200 for the escape of gases.

The diagram of fig. 2 shows, starting from the inlet pipe E, the various functional subassemblies through which the drinking water network, which may come from the point of use of the device, may flow.

Such water may be treated according to the method and by means of the devices described in the above mentioned prior art documents and/or for carrying out the methods described in said documents.

According to the invention, the device D comprises:

a sub-assembly 300 for producing hot water,

a sub-assembly 400 for treating a liquid,

a sub-assembly 500 for metering the injection of cold water.

Upstream of these functional subassemblies, a universal pump 610 associated with a check valve 620 and a filtration module 630 moves and filters the water from the inlet E.

These subassemblies may be operated simultaneously or individually depending on the method to be implemented, with the three-way valve 700 or faucet 800 being automatically actuated or being actuated by an operator allowing selection between individual or simultaneous operation.

The subassembly 300 for producing hot water comprises three identical modules 300a, 300b, 300c for producing hot water, mounted in parallel starting from a pipe 640 which introduces the water coming from the filtering module 630. According to the invention, these modules operate simultaneously, but may be stopped for maintenance operations. A faucet or valve allows for isolation of the module.

Only module 300a is described with precision. This module 300a includes an exchanger 310a and a boiler 320 a. As described above, the boiler is a closed furnace condensing gas boiler. The gas is provided by a module for supplying gas, labeled 330 a. The module for supplying gas includes two vaporization-type gas cylinders 331a and 332a oriented with their holes upward, which are disposed horizontally as described above. Gas from the gas cylinder passes through a membrane expansion valve 333a, then into a flash tank 334a and through a flow regulator 335a before being supplied to the boiler 320 a.

The proper orientation of the cylinders 331a and 332a allows for the use of one of the membrane expansion valve 333a and the canister type 334a without the need for a carburetor. The water heats up at exchanger 310 a.

As shown in fig. 3 for cylinder 331a, the upward orientation of the open bore 301a of the 13kg propane boil-off cylinder as shown allows the systematic placement of the tip 302a of the inner tube 303a to pass the gas in a portion of the internal volume of the cylinder 331a, which corresponds to the volume of the vapor space 304a rather than the liquefied gas 305 a.

These cylinders are conveyed in the device D. Thus, the device is independent of the gas supply. The power supply is provided by a power supply module (not shown) inserted into the grid but equipped with means for verifying the phases, so as to make it compatible with the operation of the boiler. For non-compliant phases, a rectifier (not shown) is used.

As shown, the modules 300a, 300b and 300c, although identical, are positioned in a particular order (from upstream to downstream) with respect to the supply flow from the cold water pipe 640. To avoid operation of one module over another, the order defined by the positions of the modules with respect to the pipe 640 for cold water input is reversed from the order defined by the positions of the modules (i.e., with respect to the pipe for hot water output). Thus, since module 300a is first supplied with cold water by pipe 640, module 300b is second supplied with cold water and module 300c is third supplied with cold water, the hot water from module 300c corresponds to pipe 650 for the outlet of hot water, into which hot water from the farther module 300b, mixed with hot water from the farthest module 300a, is injected.

The subassembly 400 for treating water treats water coming from the inlet E and is equipped with at least one replaceable cartridge 410 containing the treatment product in tablets, which dissolves under the action of the moving water as described in various documents of the prior art. This filter cartridge 410 is removably secured to a body 420 through which water to be treated flows. According to the invention, this body is provided around the hole in which the filter cartridge 410 is covered with a tank 430 for recovering the water flowing during the replacement of the filter cartridge 410.

The three-way valve 700 allows this subassembly 400 to be used or not. The use of a three-way valve avoids the use of both the treatment subassembly 400 and the subassembly 300 to produce hot water, so that the chemical treatment is not neutralized by the hot water.

The subassembly 500 for metering the injection of cold water uses water from the inlet E and comprises a metering pump 510 placed downstream of the pressure relief valve 520 and the tap 800, in order to inject cold water into the outlet pipe of the device, adjusting the volume of water treated, the flow rate and the temperature of water from the other functional subassemblies as necessary.

It is to be understood that only the devices described and illustrated above are described and illustrated in the drawings for purposes of disclosure and not limitation. Of course, various arrangements, modifications and improvements may be made to the above examples without departing from the context of the present invention.
