(54) | Modular housing with multiple inlets and outlets for primary and / or secondary circuits in heating and cooling plants |
(57) In comparison with the known solutions, the housing according to the present invention
is very advantageous because it is modular and is provided with centred or offset
connections, threaded groove-and-tongue joints, flanged connections or other kind
of connections of various sizes and shapes while previously, components with soldered
or fused connections were used, which were fixed in the sense of direction and had
a predetermined number of inlets and outlets. Basically, the housing (1) includes a plurality of modular elements (2) which are placed between two bottom elements or bottoms (3). The shape of each modular elements is substantially cylindric. The modular elements (2) project from the body of pipe-fittings or connections (4). The arrangement of the said connections (4) is orthogonal to the housing axis and tangential to the housing circumference so as to allow the inner flow of the liquid to form inner whirl flows. These inner flows permit a better mixing with a better stratification and separation of the microbubbles. |
