    摘要: A water heater having a water storage tank an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit is provided. The inlet conduit has a top end portion coupled to an inlet of the water storage tank, a bottom end portion extending into an interior of the water storage tank, and a passage for water flow from the top end portion to the bottom end portion. The top end portion of the inlet conduit defines at least one outlet opening configured to divert a portion of the water flow from the passage of the inlet conduit into the water storage tank. The outlet conduit defines a top end portion coupled to an outlet of the water storage tank, a bottom end portion extending into an interior of the water storage tank, and a passage for water flow from the bottom end portion to the top end portion. The top end portion of the outlet conduit defines at least one inlet opening configured to draw water from the water storage tank and into the passage in the top end portion of the outlet conduit. The bottom end portion of the outlet conduit defines an inlet opening configured to draw water from the water storage tank and into the passage in the bottom end portion of the outlet conduit.

    摘要: A water heater including a tank having a wall defining an interior for holding water is provided. A heat exchange assembly is positioned at least partially within the interior of the tank. The heat exchange assembly includes a metallic outer tube positioned within the interior of the tank. The outer tube has a wall with an inner surface and end portions positioned within the interior of the tank. The heat exchange assembly further includes a metallic inner tube extending within the outer tube and having end portions extending through the wall of the tank. The inner tube has a wall with an outer surface. A portion of the outer surface of the inner tube contacts a portion of the inner surface of the outer tube, thereby facilitating the transfer of heat between the inner tube and the outer tube. An elongated passageway is defined between a portion of the outer surface of the inner tube and a portion of the inner surface of the outer tube, thereby facilitating the flow of fluid along a length of the outer tube and the inner tube.
