Abstract

Distributor system, characterized in that the main valve module housing (20) of the flow distributor is identical to the main valve module housing (20) of the return manifold and in that the branch valve module housing (10) of the flow distributor are formed identical to the branch valve module housings (10) of the return manifold.

Description

The invention relates to a distributor module system for fluids, such as liquids or gases, in particular for water in heating or cooling systems, which consists of the modular principle of several universally deployable Verteilerventil- and other modules, wherein the individual valve module body are preferably formed of plastic and enclose a main channel section and on whose end connection surfaces O-ring seals of elastic material are mounted, which are pressed together by clamping devices. The main channel sections of the individual elements together form a cylindrical main line of an arrangement of Abzweiganschlüssen, which are individually shut off by valve devices or adjustable. The valve module body has a transverse, preferably radially to the main channel section arranged hollow branch line pin and in each case an opening at the two ends of the housing wall of the respective module body. Due to their double-walled nature, the housing walls of the individual valve bodies have cavities, as a result of which the module bodies have temperature-insulating properties.

By the DE 30 43 422 A1 Distributed valves have become known. Such devices are successfully used in practice for floor, wall and ceiling heating or cooling, the individual heating or cooling circuits in their flow rate are adjustable so that at the desired temperature of the heating or cooling water, the individual heating or cooling circuits deliver the desired temperature in the appropriate ratio.

From the DE 101 14 926 A1 and DE 20 2004 007 669 U1 Similar distribution valves are known. The previously known systems use for the flow and return blocks of the entire distribution system different module body, usually each differently shaped cube-shaped individual valve elements. In particular, in the previously known systems, the first or last module body in the module row, the main valve module mentioned by us, deviates significantly from the other modules and is traditionally made of metal. Mostly the filling and emptying valve, the deaerator, a thermometer or various other connections or indicators are attached to this module. The production of such a metal module is relatively expensive. Furthermore, the wall brackets in previous systems are usually fastened with screws to the manifold or enclose or clamp this in different ways. This type of attachment is not optimal in terms of production costs, assembly costs and stability of the attachment.

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a fluid distributor system which is more stable, cheaper, simpler and less bulky to manufacture and assemble.

This object is solved by the features of claim 1, characterized in that the individual branch valve modules and the main valve modules of the system for the flow and return are identical and thus can be used universally for the flow and return lines. This can reduce the production cost of the system, increasing its flexibility.

Furthermore, the object is achieved according to claim 2, characterized in that the main valve module of the system as well as the branch valve module consists of plastic and has the same, preferably hexagonal, average of its module body. A main valve module made of plastic is preferable to a metal because of the significantly lower production costs. The preferably used hexagonal shape increases in comparison to the usual square or cube shape of the distributor modules and the number of connection options, since thus more connection surfaces are available.

Furthermore, the object is achieved according to claim 3, characterized in that the preferably made of plastic wall mount according to the invention is clamped between the individual valve module body as an integral element and thus allows better stability, shorter assembly time and more cost-effective production.

Due to the invention, on both sides open shaping of the main valve modules, they can be divided practically in any number in a valve module series and thus offer a virtually limitless number of connection options.

In the preferred embodiment of the fluid distribution system shown in this document is located at each end of the valve module row each have a flat-shaped, preferably hexagonal end plate or socket, preferably made of brass, to these the screws or nuts or Thread of the clamping device, preferably two threaded rods, abut or are integrated into it, through which the entire module row or their individual module body are pressed together with the intermediate O-rings.

The connection sockets of the main valve modules and the branch valve modules have in the preferred embodiment in the plastic integrated threaded bushes made of metal, preferably made Brass. These sockets are identical for the main valve module and the branch valve module; this ensures greater usability and flexibility of the system. The main valve module differs from the diverter valve module in that the main valve module to the two ports used in this preferred embodiment for the breather and the fill / drain valve, in this preferred embodiment, has two additional sockets, e.g. B. for connecting a thermometer and a calorimeter.
