    摘要: A fine bubble generator may include an inlet into which gas-dissolved water in which gas is dissolved flows, an outlet out of which the gas-dissolved water flows; and a fine bubble generation portion disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The fine bubble generation portion may include a venturi portion including a diameter-reducing flow path and a diameter-increasing flow path, wherein a flow path diameter of the diameter-reducing flow path reduces from upstream to downstream, and the flow path diameter of the diameter-increasing flow path increases from upstream to downstream, a discharging flow path configured to discharge the gas-dissolved water, which flowed out of the venturi portion, out of the fine bubble generation portion; and a recirculation flow path connecting a midstream of the outflow path and the venturi portion.

    摘要: In a premixing apparatus that mixes a fuel gas with air, supplies an air-fuel mixture to a burner through a fan, and carries out a control that regulates an opening degree of a variable throttle valve, which is interposed in a gas supply passage, so that an excess air ratio of an air-fuel mixture becomes an appropriate value, in a case where a detected excess air ratio deviates to one side, e.g., a large side, from an acceptable range, a motor is repeatedly caused to rotate by a unit-angle in an opening-degree increasing direction until the detected excess air ratio becomes an appropriate value. In a case where the detected air ratio deviates to the other side, e.g., a small side, from the acceptable range, the motor is caused to rotate, at a high speed in an opening-degree decreasing direction, till a first position that is anticipated that the excess air ratio will become a value that deviates by a fixed quantity from the acceptable range to a large side, thereafter, the motor is caused to rotate, at the high speed in an opening-degree increasing direction, till a second position that is a short of a target position, and subsequently, the motor is caused to rotate by the unit-angle in the opening-increasing direction.

    摘要: In a combustion apparatus that includes a heat exchanger which is disposed in a combustion box, on a premise that a direction from a burner to the heat exchanger is defined as a Z-axis plus direction, a direction opposite to the Z-axis plus direction is defined as a Z-axis minus direction, and an orthogonal direction to a Z-axis direction, which is along fins of the heat exchanger is defined as a X-axis direction, a thermal insulation material is arranged on an inner surface of a swelling part that is formed at a side plate part of a combustion box and outwardly swells in the X-axis direction so as to be sandwiched from both sides in the Z-axis direction by a step that is outwardly bent in the X-axis direction, which is positioned an end, in the Z-axis plus direction, of the swelling part and a structural member of a burner, which inwardly protrudes in the X-axis direction from an end, in the Z-axis minus direction, of the side plate part. A vicinity portion of an end, in the Z-axis plus direction, of the thermal insulation material is held from an inside in the X-axis direction by a side edge portion, on each side in the X-axis direction, of the fins.

    摘要: A premixing apparatus that mixes a fuel gas with air and supplies an air-fuel mixture in a burner through a fan includes a control device that is configured to carry out a third control that: calculates and memorizes a lower limit of a rotational speed of a fan, at which an increase of an opening degree of a variable throttle valve becomes necessary, as a first threshold; and when the rotational speed of the fan increases to the first threshold or faster next time, immediately changes the opening degree of the variable throttle valve to an increased opening degree, which is larger than a predetermined standard opening degree and is obtained by multiplying a deviation of the rotational speed of the fan from the first threshold by a predetermined coefficient.

    摘要: A combustion chamber inside a combustion box has disposed therein a burner positioning frame having: a rear frame part positioned on a rear side of a burner-disposed portion; and a burner positioning frame having side frame part positioned on each laterally outside of the burner-disposed portion. The rear frame part has formed therein a laterally elongated drawn part which is dented rearward. The secondary air flowing from the distribution holes positioned in such a portion of the partition plate as is closer to the rear end of the partition plate is restrained by the drawn part from flowing upward from between the partition plate and a lower edge of the rear frame part through a clearance between the rear frame part and a rear plate part of the combustion box.
