The flow separator (10) comprises a plurality of raised surfaces (11) arranged in contact with the inner surface (8B) of the sleeve (8) to obtain the mechanical seal between two mutually adjacent channels.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a latent heat absorbing apparatus for a gas boiler. The gas boiler comprises a latent heat exchanger installed in a chamber such that the latent heat exchanger is separated from a sensible heat exchanger and from the outside of the gas boiler. Thermal transition between the heat exchangers and dropping of condensed water onto members of the gas boiler can be prevented. Further, smooth flow of exhaust gas can be maintained in an accelerated state at a first duct communicating with a combustion chamber and with the above chamber.

Abstract:
A heat exchanger apparatus has a combustion device, and a casing connected to the combustion device and serving as a passage for guiding exhaust gases discharged from the combustion device. A main heat exchanger is disposed in an upstream position in the passage and comprises a first water pipe and a plurality of first heat-absorbing fins disposed around the first water pipe, for absorbing sensible heat from the exhaust gases and heating water in the first water pipe. An auxiliary heat exchanger is disposed in a downstream position in the passage and comprises a second water pipe connected to the first water pipe and a plurality of second heat-absorbing fins disposed around the second water pipe, for absorbing remaining sensible heat and latent heat from the exhaust gases from which the sensible heat has been absorbed by the main heat exchanger, and heating water in the second water pipe. A water supply pipe supplies water to the auxiliary heat exchanger. A hot water discharge pipe discharges hot water from the main heat exchanger. The second heat-absorbing fins is made of an aluminum-based metal and integrally combined with a fin tube of the auxiliary heat exchanger. The first and second water pipes are made of the same copper-based metal, and the second water pipe is fitted in the fin tube.
