연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A hot water system includes cold water pipes, hot water pipes, a water heater, a pump, a pump control unit and a connection valve unit. The pump is used to increase the pressure of the hot water pipes to a preset higher level than the pressure in the cold water pipes. When hot water is needed, the connection valve unit at the user side is opened to connect the cold water pipes and the hot water pipes, and when the cold water pipes and the hot water pipes are connected, the water pressure difference between them will become smaller. When the pressure difference change is detected, the pump control unit will activate the pump to pump the water in the hot water pipes into the cold water pipes, so the water in the pipes starts to circulate, and the water will flow through the water heater and will be heated. When the heated hot water reaches the user, the pump is stopped. After the hot water is being served or when the water temperature drops down, the pump is again put into normal operation.

1. A hot water system comprising: a hot water pipe;a cold water pipe;a faucet, which has a hot water inlet, a cold water inlet and a water outlet, the hot water inlet connects to the hot water pipe, the cold water inlet connects to the cold water pipe;a water heater;a pump, which is connected with the water heater in series between the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe, and increases the water pressure in the hot water pipe and makes the water pressure in the hot water pipe higher than the water pressure in the cold water pipe;a water pressure detector, which detects the water pressure difference between a pump inlet and a pump outlet of the pump to decide whether the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe are connected, the pump starts when the water pressure difference is smaller than a predefined value, and the pump stops when the water pressure difference is larger than a predefined value; anda connecting unit, which connects the hot water pipe and the cold water pipe to let the hot water in the hot water pipe flow through the cold water pipe and back to the pump. 2. The hot water system of claim 1, wherein the said connecting unit is an outlet control valve which stops the water from flowing out of the said faucet, and forces the water from the said hot water pipe to flow through the said faucet into the said cold water pipe and back to the said pump when the said pump is pumping. 3. The hot water system of claim 2, wherein the said faucet is a mix faucet which has a hot water control valve, a cold water control valve and a water mix chamber, when the hot water control valve and the cold water control valve are opened, the water in the said cold water pipe and the said hot water pipe will flow into the water mix chamber, and when the said outlet control valve is closed, the said cold water pipe and the said hot water pipe are connected. 4. The hot water system of claim 2, further comprises: a water temperature detector, which detects the water temperature at the said outlet control valve and opens the said outlet control valve when the water temperature rises. 5. The hot water system of claim 1, when the hot water in the said hot water pipe flows back to the said pump, the said pump stops. 6. The hot water system of claim 1, the said pump has a check valve to control the water flow, and when the said pump is stopped, the water can flow from the said pump's inlet to the said pump's outlet. 7. The hot water system of claim 1, further comprises: a water temperature detector, which detects the water temperature at the said pump and stops the said pump when the water temperature rises. 8. The hot water system of claim 1, further comprises: a water temperature detector, which detects the water temperature at the said pump and starts the said pump when the water temperature drops. 9. The hot water system of claim 1, further comprises: a water flow detector, which detects the water flow in the said pump when the pump is stopped, and starts the said pump when a water flow in the pump is detected. 10. The hot water system of claim 1, further comprises: a timer, which can stop the said pump after the said pump operates over a preset time length. 11. The hot water system of claim 1, wherein the said connecting unit is a controlled valve unit, which is installed between the said hot water pipe and the said cold water pipe to control the water flowing from the said hot water pipe into the said cold water pipe and back to the said pump. 12. The hot water system of claim 11, wherein the said controlled valve unit comprising: a valve, which controls the connection between the said hot water pipe and the said cold water pipe. 13. The hot water system of claim 12, wherein the said controlled valve unit further comprises: a valve controller, which closes the said valve to stop water from flowing out of the said hot water pipe and let the water pressure in the said hot water pipe to increase. 14. The hot water system of claim 13, wherein the said controlled valve unit has a water temperature detector, when the detected water temperature is rising, the said valve controller will close the valve. 15. The hot water system of claim 13, wherein the said controlled valve unit has a timer, which can control the open and close time of the said valve. 16. The hot water system of claim 13, wherein the said controlled valve unit has a timer, which controls the time length of opening of the said valve. 17. The hot water system of claim 1, further comprising a timer and a temperature detector, wherein when the said hot water pipe and the said cold water pipe are connected and the said pump starts to pump, the said water heater first outputs warm water to an outlet of the water heater with a preset temperature and the timer starts, the temperature detector detects the water temperature at the said heater's inlet, and when the warm water flows back to the said heater's inlet and is detected by the temperature detector, the timer is stopped, thus the timer records a traveling time that the warm water flows from the said water heater's outlet to the said water heater's inlet, after the traveling time has transpired the said water heater starts to output hot water with high temperature. 18. The hot water system of claim 17, wherein the said warm water's traveling time is used to calculate and set the operation time length of the said pump. 19. The hot water system of claim 1, wherein the water outlet is stopped to form a closed channel for connecting the cold water pipe and hot water pipe through the faucet so to form a recirculation path, the water heater has a water heater inlet and a water heater outlet, the water heater inlet is connected to the pump outlet, the water heater outlet is connected to the hot water pipe, and the pump inlet is connected to the cold water pipe.
