    摘要: A fire tube heater assembly, sometimes referred to as boilers and/or water heaters, and method of accommodating elongation of the fire tubes associated with such heating devices. The fire tube heater assembly includes a plurality of fire tubes that are configured and oriented to effectuate efficient thermal exchange between the heating fluid, commonly a gas combustion product, and the fluid being heated. At least one end of the plurality of tubes are supported by a tube support. The tube support includes a bellows or other deformable structure that accommodates changes in the longitudinal length associated with thermal expansion and contraction of the fire tubes during operation of the first tube heater assembly and in a manner that maintains segregation between the heating and heated fluid flows.

    摘要: A water heater system and method of operating such a system are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, the water heater system includes a heat exchanger. a heat source inlet by which heated heating fluid can be provided to the heat exchanger, a heat source outlet by which cooled heating fluid can be communicated from the heat exchanger, a water supply inlet by which supply water can be provided to the heat exchanger, and a water supply outlet by which heated water can be communicated from the heat exchanger. Additionally, the system includes a controller, a water supply outlet temperature sensor, a water supply flowmeter, and an actuator. The controller is configured to generate control signals based at least indirectly upon temperature measurements and flow measurements and to provide the control signals to the actuator to regulate a fluid flow of the heated heating fluid into the heat exchanger.
