    摘要: The present invention provides a heating system capable of implementing an inrush current countermeasure without causing an increase in cost. A control means of the heating system repeatedly executes, in a predetermined cycle, a sequence starting operation of the fluid flowing part, the predetermined cycle being divided into a plurality of operation start permitted intervals, and the operation start permitted intervals permitting, among the fluid flowing part, only a specific fluid flowing part determined for each operation start permitted interval, to start operating, and prohibiting the other fluid flowing part other than the specific fluid flowing part from starting to operate.

    摘要: A fine bubble generating nozzle may include a nozzle unit and a baffle. The nozzle unit may include: an inlet; a pressure decreasing portion configured to decrease a pressure of a gas-dissolved pressurized water introduced from the inlet; a first collision chamber disposed downstream of the pressure decreasing portion and including a first collision wall with which the gas-dissolved pressurized water introduced from the pressure decreasing portion collides so that a flow direction of the gas-dissolved pressurized water changes; a second collision chamber disposed downstream of the first collision chamber and including a second collision wall with which the gas-dissolved pressurized water having flowed through the first collision chamber collides so that the flow direction of the gas-dissolved pressurized water changes; and an outlet. The baffle may be disposed outside of the nozzle unit and is disposed at a position facing the outlet.

    摘要: A fine bubble generator may include an inlet, an outlet, a first fine bubble generation portion including a first flow path, and a second fine bubble generation portion including a second flow path. The first flow path may include a diameter-reducing flow path and a diameter-increasing flow path. The second flow path may include a guide flow path and a collision flow path disposed downstream of the guide flow path. A first bearing and a first impeller rotatably attached to the first bearing may be disposed on the collision flow path. The first impeller may include a disc disposed at a position at which the gas-dissolved water collides with the disc; a first rotation shaft disposed on a downstream surface of the disc and rotatably attached to the first bearing; and one or more first vanes disposed on an upstream surface of the disc.

    摘要: In a premixing apparatus that mixes a fuel gas with air and supplies an air-fuel mixture to a burner through a fan, includes a main valve, a zero governor, and a variable throttle valve which are interposed from an upstream side downward in sequence in a gas supply passage, of which an downstream end is connected to a gas suction part that is provided in an air supply passage on an upstream side of a fan, and carries out a first control that regulates an opening degree of the variable throttle valve so that an excess air ratio of the air-fuel mixture, which is indexed based on a flame current that is detected by a flame rod which is exposed in flames of the burner, and a second control that, at time of a post-purge operation, if the flame rod detects the flame current, it will be decided that an open trouble of the main valve occurs and the opening degree of the throttle valve will be tightened till a minimum opening-degree which is set so that the burner is extinguished.

    摘要: An outer peripheral edge part of the air-fuel mixture permeable member is connected to a portion away outward by a predetermined distance from an inner peripheral edge of the burner frame. Between the burner frame and the air-fuel mixture permeable member a clearance reaching the inner peripheral edge of the burner frame is secured at a position inward of the outer peripheral part of the air-fuel mixture permeable member. Preferably, a bent edge part formed on an inner peripheral edge of the burner frame, in a manner to be bent toward the air-fuel mixture permeable member. The amount of the air-fuel mixture to flow into the clearance is limited to a smaller amount.

    摘要: The water heater may be configured to execute a normal operation in which a heating means is continuously operated in an ON state in a case where a required heat quantity is greater than or equal to a minimum heat quantity. The water heater may be configured to execute an intermittent operation in which the heating means is alternately and repeatedly operated in the ON state and an OFF state repeatedly in a case where the required heat quantity is less than the minimum heat quantity. The water heater may be configured to change a distribution ratio of a flow control mechanism in the normal operation and in the intermittent operation. An operating speed of the flow control mechanism in the intermittent operation may be faster than an operating speed of the flow control mechanism in the normal operation.
