    摘要: Embodiments of this disclosure provide a method and apparatus for determining a fault of a heating device and an electric water heater. When the heating device includes at least two heating units in an operating state parallelly arranged on branches of a same phase line and the heating unit include a heating element and a switch controlling the heating element, the method includes: acquiring a main circuit current value of the phase line when the operating state of the heating units is not changed, and determining that a fault occurs in a heating element in at least one heating unit when the main circuit current value is not greater than a first current value; and acquiring a variation value of the main circuit current value caused by turning on/off the switch, and determining that a fault occurs in a heating element controlled by the switch when the variation value of the main circuit current value is not greater than a preset variation value. With the embodiments of this disclosure, diagnosis of faults in a plurality of heating elements in the heating device may be achieved at a low cost and high reliability.

    摘要: The present invention provides a multi-cavity gas-air mixing device, comprising at least two mixing cavities each having an air inlet and a mixture outlet communicated with a combustor, wherein each of the mixing cavities has a built-in gas pipeline, each of the gas pipelines is provided with a gas jet, and the orientation of the gas jet is intersected with a flow direction of air entering into the mixing cavities. The present invention effectively segments the gas-air mixer and achieves a large load regulation ratio, without producing condensate water at any load segment, thereby improving the system reliability and service life. The built-in gas pipeline of the present invention not only actively controls the fuel in the open-close control pipeline, but also reduces the volume of the mixer and largely decreases the cost. In addition, the orientation of the gas jet of the present invention is intersected with a flow direction of air entering into the mixing cavities, such that gas and air are sufficiently mixed.
