Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present finding relates to a block manifold to be applied to large-sized thermal exchange batteries, especially for convectors. BACKGROUND OF THE ART [0002] In a former application by the same Applicant, a block manifold was already proposed, comprising a single piece body having on the one side, a union portion with a fluid piping to be connected to a thermal exchange battery, on the opposed side, two, three or more branches to be connected to the pipes of the thermal exchange battery, and an intermediate distribution chamber to place said union chamber in communication with said branches, wherein said intermediate chamber is circular, all peripherally closed and coaxial with said union portion. SCOPE OF THE INVENTION [0003] Object of the present finding is that of realising and providing a manifold for thermal exchange batteries having a much higher number of branches, to be applied to large-sized batteries, without considerably increasing the dimensions and above all, keeping the construction, economic and functional advantages of the block manifold mentioned above unchanged, which can be summarised in the reduction of the use of raw materials, elimination of welding operations, with the consequent drastic reduction of scrap and of production costs, and a reduction of the turbulences of the fluid and of the load losses of the powered system. [0004] Such object is achieved by a block manifold according to the following claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0005] An example of embodiment of the finding is described hereinafter with reference to the attached indicative and non-limiting drawings, wherein: [0006] FIG. 1 shows a front view of the manifold; [0007] FIG. 2 shows a partial longitudinal section view of the manifold; [0008] FIG. 3 shows a top view of the manifold with watertight conical screws; [0009] FIG. 4 shows a top view of the manifold without the screws; [0010] FIG. 5 shows a cross section view of the manifold; [0011] FIG. 6 shows an axial section of an enlarged detail of the manifold at a conical screw; [0012] FIG. 7 shows a top view of two manifolds applied to a thermal exchange battery; and [0013] FIG. 8 shows a top view of the two manifolds and battery of FIG. 7. DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0014] The manifold under discussion consists of a one piece body 11 usually made of brass. The body is obtained by known moulding methods, them it is mechanically machined for the finishes according to the needs. When finished, said body 11 exhibits a union portion 12 with an inside threading, an intermediate distribution volume 13, a first group with four branches 14 that extend from said intermediate volume 13 at the opposite side of the union portion 12, and a second group of four more branches 15 that extend from a side of the intermediate volume 13. [0015] In the practice, the union portion 12 is on a geometrical axis X, the branches 14 of the first group are on axes Y parallel to axis X, whereas branches 15 of the second group are on axes Z perpendicular to said axes X and Y. Moreover, the branches of the second group 15 are parallel and coplanar to one another. [0016] The intermediate volume 13 consists of a central cylindrical chamber 13' and of two side chambers 13'', cylindrical as well but with a smaller diameter, diametrically opposed to the central chamber 13' and internally communicating with it. [0017] In particular, the two central branches 14' of the first group 14 extend at the bottom of the central chamber 13', whereas the two outside branches 14'' partly intersect the side chambers 13''. [0018] As regards the second group of branches 15, the two central branches 15' extend from the rim of the central chamber 13', whereas the two outside branches 15'' extend from the rims of the respective side chambers 13''. [0019] In the practice, the two side chambers 13'' serve as by-pass to feed the two outermost branches 14'' of the first group of branches 14 and, in the case of use of the second group of branches 15, they act as feeding tanks.
