Definitions
- the field of this invention relates generally to heat exchangers and more particularly to a heat exchanger in conjunction with a pump which is mounted within a recirculating water system where the heat of the motor is utilized to raise the temperature of the recirculating water.
- the structure of the present invention is designed primarily to be used in conjunction with a bathtub which includes a plurality of water jet nozzles used to create a turbulent action of the water within the bathtub for reasons of therapy and/or relaxation to a human.
- this invention could be used with a spa, hot tub or therapy tub all of which utilize jet nozzles to force jets of water within the tub with the tub being occupied generally by a single human. It is normal for a plurality of humans to be located within a spa, hot tub or therapy tub. However, within a bathtub there is generally only a single individual. It is possible that the pump of the present invention could be used for liquids other than water.
- the bathtubs which have water jet nozzles have a recirculating water system which utilizes a pump which has a motor causing rotation of a centrifugal impeller which functions to cause the water to move through the recirculating water system. It is desirable to heat the water within these bathtubs with generally this water being heated between 100 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. A heater is sometimes included in conjunction with the bathtub with the heater functioning to raise the temperature of the recirculating water to the desired temperature level. During the time that the bathtub is being used, the heat from the water is quickly lost to the ambient atmosphere. Therefore, this heat needs to be replaced. In the past, it has been common to add additional hot water from the tap or activate a heater, if available, that is mounted in conjunction with the bathtub to reheat the water. However, it has been discovered that the electric motor of the pump of the recirculating water quickly becomes quite hot. It is desirable to have the motor temperature as low as possible to maintain an efficient operation of the motor. Therefore, it is beneficial to remove as much heat from the motor as possible.
- One of the primary advantages of the present invention is to construct a cost efficient and energy efficient heat exchange system for a recirculating water system for a bathtub.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide for cooler operation of a motor used within a bathtub with water jet nozzles which thereby increases longevity, efficiency and diminishes maintenance during the operating life of the motor.
- Another objective of the present invention is to construct a water bypass system that is mounted about a motor that is completely closed so that no water ever comes into contact with any portion of the motor providing for safe operation of the pump of the present invention.
- Another objective of the present invention is to maximize the heat exchange efficiency by utilizing the entire surface area of the heat exchanging system through a heat exchanging medium.
- the pump of the present invention utilizes a conventional electric motor which is formed of a stator and a rotor.
- the rotor is to be rotationally driven by the application of electrical energy to the stator.
- the rotor is connected to an output shaft which in turn is mounted in conjunction with an impeller.
- the impeller is located in an impeller chamber of a pump housing with the impeller chamber being connected to a main water inlet and a main water outlet of the recirculating water.
- the impeller is to function to supply water to the bathtub which is forcibly ejected through a plurality of jet nozzles mounted in conjunction with the wall of the bathtub.
- the electric motor is submerged within an oil which is contained within a completely closed motor chamber formed within a motor housing.
- a water conducting tube surrounds the electric motor with the inlet to this water conducting tube connecting with the impeller chamber which receives water under pressure into this tube. Only a small portion of the water that is conducted through the impeller chamber is bypassed through this tube.
- the tube is formed into a plurality of U-shaped sections which are continuous with the U-shaped sections being submerged within the oil located about the electric motor of the pump.
- the U-shaped sections may be rolled in coils to form a coiled section.
- the outlet to the tube connects to the volute insert which forms an isolated chamber with the volute's wall connected to the pump's main water inlet. As a result, a substantial pressure differential is created which moves the water rapidly through the bypass tube from the impeller chamber into the main water inlet.

- Figure 2 is a longitudinally, cross-sectional view through the pump of this invention taken along line 2-2 of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 is a partial cut-away, isometric view of the pump of this invention;
- FIG 4 is a partial cut-away, isometric view of the pump of this invention showing clearly the flow path of the water through the bypass tube utilized in conjunction with the pump of this invention
- Figure 5 is an isometric view of the bypass tube mounted in conjunction with the mounting plate which is mounted in conjunction with the seal plate included within this invention.
- Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view through the watertight connection of the water conducting tube between the seal plate and the motor cover showing the watertight connection in the installed position;
- Figure 7 is an exploded, cross-sectional view, similar to Figure 6, showing the watertight connection before installation.
- Pump 10 is to be operated electrically and includes an electric motor 1 2.
- the electric motor 1 2 is composed of a rotor 14 and a stator 16 with the stator being mounted about the rotor 14.
- An output shaft 1 8 is caused to rotate by the rotor 14.
- the output shaft 18 is rotationally mounted by a bearing 20 within a motor cover 40.
- the motor cover 40 forms a wall to enclose the pump motor chamber 24.
- the seal plate 22 and impeller housing 54 forms the enclosure of impeller chamber 26.
- the electric motor 1 2 is mounted within the pump motor chamber 24.
- the output shaft 1 8 has an enlarged annular protuberance 23 which forms a watertight connection with water seal 25. Water seal 25 is mounted within hole 27 formed in seal plate 22.
- Seal plate 22 is mounted on impeller housing 54.
- the aft end of the electric motor 1 2 is mounted within a motor back bracket 28.
- the motor back bracket .28 is connected to a series of bolts 34. These bolts 34 are attached to the motor cover 40.
- the function of the motor back bracket 28 in connection with the bolts 34 and motor cover 40 secures the rotor 14 and the stator 1 6 in their respectfully concentric position.
- the motor back bracket 28 is mounted in a close conforming manner within a cavity 30 formed within the motor housing 32 which supports the weight of the electric motor 1 2.
- the space that surrounds the electric motor 12 within the pump motor chamber 24 is to be filled with an oil, which is not shown.
- a desirable type of oil would be a naphthenic mineral oil. However, it is to be understood that it is to be within the scope of this invention that the oil is to include any liquid that is non-electrically conductive and functions to transfer heat. Both the rotor 14 and the stator 1 6 are submerged within the oil.
- capacitor chamber 36 Associated with the motor housing 32 is a capacitor chamber 36. Located within the capacitor chamber 36 is a capacitor 38. The capacitor chamber 36 is normally closed by a capacitor cap 37. Cap 37 includes a vent opening 39 to permit airflow into chamber 36 to prevent overheating of capacitor
- the capacitor 38 is used in conjunction with the electrical operation of the motor 1 2 and forms no specific part of this invention.
- the motor housing 32 is attached to a motor cover 40 which is deemed part of the motor housing 32.
- the motor housing 32 and motor cover 40 are fixed to the seal plate 22 by means of bolts 42.
- the motor housing 32 is supported by a base plate 44.
- the base plate 44 actually is an integral part of the motor housing 32 and include a plurality of holes 46.
- the holes 46 are to be used to engage with fasteners, which are not shown, to securely mount the motor housing 32 onto an exterior fixed structure.
- the output shaft 18 from bearing 20 is connected to a seal assembly 48 which includes water seal 25.
- the output shaft 18 from the seal assembly 48 is connected to an impeller 50.
- the impeller 50 is to be rotated within the impeller chamber 26.
- a wear ring 56 is mounted on the inlet side of impeller 50 to form a watertight barrier between the cavity 58 and inlet passage 62.
- the wear ring 56 has a hollow center 60 which is installed around the front opening 61 of impeller 50 ! .
- the bearing 20 also has a hollow center, which is not shown.
- the hollow center 60 is connected to inlet passage 62 of an inlet conduit 64.
- the inlet conduit 64 terminates in an externally threaded section 66.
- the externally threaded section 66 is to be threadably secured to a water supply conduit, which is not shown.
- the water is to be supplied from the water supply conduit through the inlet passage 62, through the hollow center 60, through front opening 61 , into the impeller 50.
- the rotation of the impeller causes the water to be moved centrifugally outward and propelled into the impeller chamber 26 and then into outlet passage 68 of outlet conduit 70.
- the outlet conduit 70 has an externally threaded section 72 which is to be connected to an outlet pipe, which is not shown.
- a water conducting tube 74 mounted within the pump motor chamber 24 is a water conducting tube 74.
- the tube 74 is formed into a series of U-shaped sections, as clearly shown in Figure 5.
- Tube 74 is continuous and is arranged to surround the electric motor 1 2 and a portion of the motor back bracket 28.
- the tube 74 is not actually in physical contact with the motor housing 32 but is slightly spaced therefrom. It is to be understood that the tube 74 is to be also submerged in the oil located within the pump motor chamber 24.
- the ends of tube 74 are secured by inlet liquid tight connection 76 and an outlet liquid tight connection 78. It is to be noted that the tube 74 is intended to be leak free. Both the inlet liquid tight connection 76 and the outlet outlet liquid tight connection 78 are located at the lowest end of the pump 10.
- the reason for this is that when the pump 10 is not operating, any water contained within the tube 74 will tend to drain back into the suction side of the pump 10 which comprises the inlet passage 62. Also, any water contained within the impeller chamber 26, when the pump 10 is not operating, will similarly drain back into the chamber 86 which is connected to inlet passage 62 through hole 88.
- the tube 74 is composed of a plurality of
- Each U-shaped section has a pair of legs.
- the longitudinal center axis of each leg is parallel to the rotational axis of the electric motor 1 2. The purpose of this parallel arrangement is so all the water contained within the tube 74 will drain by gravity from the tube 74 when the electric motor 1 2 is not operating.
- the tube 74 could also be configured as in a spiral shape instead of the U-shaped sections. In the spiral shape, the tube 74 would be wound around the electric motor 1 2.
- the inlet liquid tight connection 76 is located in opening 80 formed within the seal plate 22. This opening 80 connects directly with the impeller chamber 26. Within impeller chamber 26, because of the rotation of the impeller 50, the impeller chamber 26 is pressurized. This pressure will cause a certain amount of water to be bypassed into the tube 74. This bypassed water will be conducted entirely through the tube 74 to the outlet liquid tight connection 78.
- the outlet liquid tight connection 78 is located in opening 82 formed within the seal plate 22.
- the opening 82 is connected with a passage 84 formed within the seal plate 22. Passage 84 then connects with a chamber 86 formed by volute insert 52 and volute 54. Chamber 86 connects by hole 88 to the inlet passage 62.
- a metallic spacer 90 is placed over the tube 74 adjacent the outlet end 92 of the tube 74.
- deflectible grommets 94 and 96 are located on each side of the spacer 90, also located about the tube 74.
- a preferable material of construction for grommets 94 and 96 would be rubber.
- the spacer 90 includes a series of holes 98.
- the grommet 96 is to be located within tapered hole 100 formed within the seal plate 22.
- the outlet end of the tube 92 is to be located within passage 84.
- the tapered grommet 94 is mounted within tapered opening 102 formed within the motor cover 40.
- the motor cover 40 will be moved toward seal plate 22.
- the grommets 94 and 96 will also be moved on tube 74 toward each other and against spacer 90 to be compressed tightly within their respective tapered openings 102 and 100 forming a liquid tight seal respectively with the motor cover 40 and the seal plate 22.
- the spacer 90 will also move on tube 74 to find the point of equal force on each side of the spacer 90.
- the seal with motor cover 40 is to prevent leakage of oil from chamber 30.
- the seal with seal plate 22 is to prevent leakage of water from passage 84.
- the spacer 90 causes the deformation of the grommets 94 and 96 tightly pressing the grommets 94 and 96 with the wall surfaces of the openings 100 and 102 achieving this liquid tight connection as is clearly shown in Figure 6.
- the purpose of the openings 98 within the spacer 90 is to permit passage therethrough of any liquid if a leakage does occur between the grommets 94 and 96 and the tube 74.
- the leaked liquid is conducted through the holes 98 into the chamber 104 located between the cover 40 and the seal plate 22.
- Connecting with the chamber 104 is a drain hole 106 which permits this leaked liquid to pass exteriorly of the pump 10.
- the inlet liquid tight connection 76 is constructed in precisely the same way as the outlet liquid tight connection 78.
- the water contained within the inlet passage 62 will be at a decreased pressure from the water contained within the impeller chamber 26 and actually will be at a slight vacuum compared to atmospheric pressure.
- This pressure differential between the opening 80 and the opening 82 causes a steady flow of water through the tube 74.
- the heated water that is mixed with cold water within inlet passage 62 is pulled into the impeller 50 and then is discharged by the impeller 50 through the outlet passage 68.
- the amount of heat the water from the tube 74 absorbs will, in most instances, be sufficient to raise the entire recirculating water within a bathtub to within the range of one hundred to one hundred four degrees Fahrenheit.
