摘要:
A water heater comprising a tank (14) defining a water chamber (22) and including an outer surface (26), an electrical component (30) extending outwardly of the outer surface (26) of the tank (14), an outer jacket (34) surrounding the tank (14) and having therein an opening (38) affording access to the electrical component (30), a dam (70) which is located within the opening (38) and which surrounds the electrical component (30), a cap (98) extending over the electrical component (30) and engaging the dam (70), electrical wires (118) which are connected to the electrical component (30) and which extend between the cap (98) and the dam (70), covering the cap (98) and the dam (70), the door (110) being secured to the jacket (34) such that the door (110) engages the cap (98) and thereby forces the dam (70) into sealing engagement with the jacket (34) and the tank (14), and insulating material (42) located between the tank (14), and the outer jacket (34) and outside of the dam (70).
摘要:
A water heater comprising a tank (14) defining a water chamber (18), a combustion chamber (22) located beneath the water chamber (18), a flue (30) extending through the water chamber (18), having a lower end communicating with the combustion chamber (22), and having an upper end, and a power vent blower assembly (40) including a blower (44) having an inlet (48) and an outlet (52), and a conduit (64) adapted to communicate with the ambient atmosphere of the water heater, the conduit (64) including a first end communicating with the upper end of the flue (30), a second end communicating with the blower inlet (48), and structure for mixing gases from the flue (30) with air from the ambient atmosphere of the water heater, the mixing structure including a first projection (96) extending inwardly and in the direction of gas flow through the conduit (64) on one side of the conduit (64), and a second projection (100) extending inwardly and in the direction of gas flow through the conduit (64) on the other side of the conduit (64).
摘要:
A gas-fired water heater including a tank (1) to contain water to be heated and a flue (9) extending axially through the tank (1). A burner (8) is located at the lower end of the flue (9) and has a smaller cross sectional area than the flue to provide an annular space between the burner (8) and the lower end of the flue (9). The burner (8) has at least one outlet port (26) that directs a flame pattern in proximate relation to the lower end of the flue (9). A locator assembly (62) supports the burner from the flue and positions the burner axially of the flue.
