1. A system for heating a liquid comprising at least
a hydrosonic pump for heating said liquid,
a primary circuit comprising at least:
a storage of said liquid, or a heat exchange unit
a plurality of pipes for mutual connection of said storage or said heat exchange unit with said hydrosonic pump
at least one solenoid valve to open and/or close the liquid circulation within the said primary circuit,
wherein it further comprises an optimizer connected to and placed downstream of said hydrosonic pump and cooperating with at least said primary circuit to give and transfer thereto the thermal energy produced by said hydrosonic pump, said optimizer comprising a storage tank:
of reduced volume, intermediate the one of a conventional liquid storage and a hydraulic compensator;
capable of withstanding and working at high pressure;
thermally insulated,
said optimizer comprising at least one sectioning valve in order to control the flow rate of said liquid circulating in said hydrosonic pump, placed within an internal circuit preferably along a return pipe of said optimizer, operating and ensuring a temperature gradient ΔToptimizer between an inlet and outlet liquid equal to the gradient ΔTideal between an inlet and outlet temperature of said hydrosonic pump to facilitate maximum efficiency and energy performance.
