摘要:
A double glass coated steel tank for a high temperature water heater and its method of fabrication is described. The tank is constructed of steel welded parts and fittings are secured to the tank without the presence of sharp edges being formed on the inner surface of the tank not to form any weakness in the composite glass coating to be applied. A first water resistant base coat of cobalt glass enriched with ZIRCON (trademark) is applied to the inner surface and the tank is heat fired at a high temperature in the order of about 1600 degrees F. A second high temperature water resistant glass coat, having a fine gas bubble size not exceeding 10 microns, is applied over the first coat and the tank is heat fired a second time. The composite glass coating thus formed is highly water and corrosion resistant in a water environment of up to at least 190 degrees F.
摘要:
A water heater, particularly but not exclusively for domestic use, is herein described and having removably secured thereto an external modulating gas power burner to heat the water in a separate tank portion. The two are easily separable from one another for service, repair or interchange. The hot water or a mixture thereof from the burner is circulated in a heat exchanger to transfer the heat to the tank water circulated from the water tank through the heat exchanger.
