Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for dispensing carbonated drinking water a faucet fitting, the faucet fitting applying tap water which is in a carbonization stage upstream of the faucet fitting if necessary enriched with carbon dioxide, and a device to carry out the procedure.
- the direct delivery of carbonized tap water via the tap fitting might be the most convenient way to make a carbonated drink practical to provide unlimited quantities at any time in the household.
- All so far Known variants of this method have in common that the tap water network drawn drinking water at least at the tap water network pressure (approx. 4 to approx. 6 bar) with which carbon dioxide is added and the pressure is reduced to ambient pressure (0 bar) by the usual flow rate control in the faucet fitting.
- the tap water network drawn drinking water at least at the tap water network pressure (approx. 4 to approx. 6 bar) with which carbon dioxide is added and the pressure is reduced to ambient pressure (0 bar) by the usual flow rate control in the faucet fitting.
- no controlled pressure reduction is possible, so that it depends amount of drinking water released to more or less strong outgassing of Carbon dioxide is coming.
- the present invention has for its object a method and a Device for dispensing carbonized drinking water via a tap fitting to provide with which the outgassing of carbon dioxide is strong can be reduced.
- the main idea of the invention is therefore the pressure reduction and Separate flow control. Because the pressure reduction is independent by the flow rate control, it can be carried out in a controlled manner, so that there is no outgassing even with different water flow rates comes from carbon dioxide.
- the separation of flow rate control and pressure reduction is expediently carried out by bypassing the tap water enriched with carbon dioxide the flow rate control in the faucet fitting directly to consumers
- this can be done, for example, that tap water enriched with carbon dioxide and not with carbon dioxide enriched tap water can be dispensed via separate taps.
- the Tap water not enriched with carbon dioxide via the flow rate control is conducted while the tap water enriched with carbon dioxide bypassing the flow rate control directly to the outlet of the faucet fitting to be led.
- the tap water is preferably supplied before entering the tap relaxed to ambient pressure. This has the advantage that the faucet fitting need not be changed, which can reduce investment costs. In addition, there is enough space outside the tap, around the device intended for pressure reduction, e.g. a throttle device, dimension in the desired way.
- An integration in the faucet tap is also possible in principle, but due to the limited space more difficult to implement. With such an integration, however care should also be taken to ensure that the pressure reduction occurs before the flow rate control in the faucet tap.
- the variant is preferred in which the tap water by means of a the water supply to the faucet valve arranged throttle device Ambient pressure is relaxed.
- Ambient pressure is relaxed.
- the tap water the faucet tap in the main stream, the carbon dioxide if necessary is entered directly into this main stream.
- the tap water for cold running directly through the carbonation stage flows and already cools down.
- a preferred option is carbon dioxide using a static mixer in the tap water. To do this expediently immediately before the tap water enters the static Mix the carbon dioxide in the tap water at a water pressure of about 4 to approx. 6 bar entered. The carbon dioxide is then in the subsequent static mixer mixed into the tap water and dissolved.
- the tap water is in the carbonization stage enriched with the carbon dioxide by means of a vent nozzle.
- a vent nozzle Such The method is e.g. known from DE 196 14 754.
- the invention further relates to a device for at least temporarily dispensing carbonized drinking water via a faucet fitting, the faucet fitting is connected to a carbonization device via a feed line, which in turn is connected to the tap water network and to a carbon dioxide source connected.
- the object is achieved in that the Carbonization device a throttle device for reducing pressure to ambient pressure is connected downstream, and between the carbonization device and the No flow control device outlet of faucet fitting is interposed.
- the carbonization device incoming supply line is divided into at least two branch lines, wherein the one branch line with a flow control unit of the faucet fitting is connected, while bypassing the other branch line Flow control unit led directly to the outlet of the faucet fitting is.
- the branch lines can be on separate taps or on one shared water tap. In the latter case, the for carbonized tap water provided branch line, for example by means of a through the tap fitting bypassing the in the faucet fitting arranged flow control unit to which the another branch line for non-carbonated tap water is connected directly be led to the outlet of the tap.
- the throttle device is expediently designed as a throttle cone and outside the tap, preferably in the supply line to the tap housed. But it is also possible to place the throttle device in the tap to integrate. Due to the limited space within the Faucet fitting, which is already covered with numerous internals, is this Variant, however, involves a higher technical outlay.
- the faucet fitting is in the main flow connected to the tap water network.
- the in this case in the main water pipe accommodated throttle device is expediently adjustable in such a way that the inflow of tap water to the tap is not restricted.
- the throttle device is designed as a throttle cone, it can be displaced in this way trained that after moving the throttle cone no cross-sectional constriction there is more of the supply line.
- the carbonization device is used to dissolve the carbon dioxide in the tap water advantageously equipped with a static mixer. Another possibility is that the carbonization device has a Venturi nozzle. Also the use of a dynamic mixer in the carbonization device is conceivable.
- the invention is suitable for use with all possible faucet fittings, being no redesign of the faucet fitting to provide carbonized drinking water is necessary.
- the invention can therefore also be used for retrofitting existing installations can be used. It only has to be in the Inlet to the faucet faucet one Corbonmaschinek, e.g. a static or dynamic mixer or a Venturi nozzle and a throttle device interposed become.
- Corbonmaschinek e.g. a static or dynamic mixer or a Venturi nozzle and a throttle device interposed become.
- the conversion is limited to drinking water supply lines located below the table top of the kitchen sink. Regardless of this, however, it is also possible, especially in terms of use to use tap fittings adapted from carbonized drinking water.
- FIG. 1 a conventional arrangement is shown in which a faucet fitting 1 is placed on a table top 8 of a kitchen sink.
- the faucet tap 1 is connected to a carbonization device 5 via a feed line 4, which is connected to the tap water network via line 7. about a feed 6 carbon dioxide is introduced into the feed line 7 and in the subsequent one Carbonization device 5 dissolved in tap water.
- the carbonization device 5 can for example be designed as a mixing container.
- According to the state technology is not a separate throttle device for reducing the pressure of the carbonized Tap water provided.
- the pressure reduction from the water pressure of the tap water network from approx. 4 to approx. 6 bar to ambient pressure (0 bar) at the tap outlet 2 is done by conventional throughput control 3 in the faucet fitting 1. Due to the coupling of the pressure reduction with the flow rate control no controlled pressure reduction at all flow rates possible. As a result, it comes to outgas carbon dioxide, so that the tap at the tap 2 drinking water withdrawn has an insufficient carbon dioxide concentration having.
- one of the Flow control of the faucet fitting 1 'independent throttle device 9 ' provided, which is installed in the inlet 4' to the faucet fitting 1 '.
- the throttle device 9 ' is designed and provides as a conventional throttle cone for the fact that the pressure of the carbonized water from the mains pressure in the amount of approx. 4 to approx. 6 bar to ambient pressure (0 bar) before entering the tap 1 'is dismantled.
- a carbonization device 5 ' is connected to the feed line 4' connected, which is preferably designed as a static mixer.
- the carbonization device 5 ' is connected to the tap water network via a pipe 7'. Via a feed line 6 'carbon dioxide is e.g.
- Figure 3 relates to a throttle device with a throttle cone 2, which is in a feed line 1.4 is installed for the tap.
- the lead 1.4 is in the main stream to the Tap water network connected.
- the throttle cone 2 is between that in the figure not shown carbonization device and also not shown Faucet tap arranged. If the delivery of carbonated water over the faucet fitting is desired, carbon dioxide from the carbonation device fed and dissolved there in tap water.
- tap water network pressure approximately 4 to approx. 6 bar
- ambient pressure (0 bar) the throttle cone 2 is moved so far in the direction of the tap water supply 1, that due to the cross-sectional narrowing of the water inflow the desired Throttle function is achieved.
- FIG 4 is a variant of the flow rate control independent Throttling shown. That in the carbonization device 5 'with carbon dioxide Tap water is enriched by the throttle cone Throttle device 9 'relaxed to ambient pressure. Then it arrives Tap water into the faucet fitting 1 ', which is divided into two Branch lines 10 'and 11' takes place. The branch line 10 'is via a shut-off device 12 ', which does not allow flow control, by the Run the tap through to the tap 2 '. On the other hand, the Branch line 11 'via a flow control 3' separated from the Branch line 10 'led into the tap.
- valve 13 When operating the device are used to tap carbonized tap water the valve 13 'for taking tap water from the tap water network and the Valve 14 'opened to supply carbon dioxide from a carbon dioxide bottle.
- the Throttle cone 9 ' is set so that a pressure reduction to ambient pressure takes place.
- the flow rate control 3 ' is closed while the shut-off device 12 'is opened. In this way flows in the carbonization device 5 'Carbonized tap water at ambient pressure relaxes in the faucet fitting 1 'and is turned on without being influenced by the flow rate control 3' the water tap 2 'given to the consumer.
- a Hose used which connects the feed 4 'directly to the water tap 2'. This ensures that the carbonized tap water is unimpeded and without generating turbulence, for example on built-in faucet fittings 1 'could arise up to the water tap 2' can flow. Owing to Turbulence could lead to outgassing of carbon dioxide, so that the tap water drawn from the tap is no longer the desired one would have carbon dioxide content.
- valve 14 ' is used to draw non-carbonized tap water Shutoff of the carbon dioxide supply closed while the throttle cone 9 'so far is postponed that there is no further throttling.
- the shut-off device 12 ' closed and the flow control open. This way it doesn't flow carbonized tap water via the flow control into the tap and can be removed at the water tap 2 '.
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which carbonized and not carbonized tap water separate taps B and A are provided.
- the the principle of operation corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, device parts having the same function are provided with the same reference number.
- an additional hot water pipe can also be attached to the tap fittings be connected, the hot water usually not is carbonized.
- the hot water pipe is in the figures are not taken into account.
