The invention provides a water heater WH including first and second connection target parts J1, J2 that are, as a means for connecting a burner unit BU and a heat exchanger HE, frame-like parts provided at opening edge parts of a first case 1 of the burner unit and a second case 2 of the heat exchanger, respectively, and sandwich a sealing member 5 to face and be connected with each other. An entire shape of the sealing member is frame-like corresponding to the first and second connection target parts, and a notched concave part 50 or a non-notched hole part 50A is formed at a portion thereof. A heat transfer convex part 15 is provided at at least one of the first and second connection targets, and protrudes to enter the concave part or the hole part to come into surface contact with the other.

A water heater with two non-condensing flues and a condensing flue(s) having a system to prevent condensation in the non-condensing flue(s). The downwardly extending first flue is connected by a 180 degree connector to an upwardly extending second flue. Between the non-condensing and the condensing flues is positioned a temperature sensor. A controller receives input from the temperature sensor and is connected to the burner to control the minimum power setting and duration so as to prevent the combustion gases from falling below a temperature at which water will condense at the temperature sensor so no condensation occurs in the first two flues. Burner power settings are minimized near a water tank setpoint to improve efficiency by increasing condensation.

A baffle arrangement disposed within the exhaust flue of a fuel-burning water heater promotes heat transfer from exhausted combustion by-products to the water storage chamber. The baffle arrangement has an elongate planar base and plural exhaust-directing fins spaced along opposite sides of the base. Each fin is a planar body extending perpendicularly from the base at an acute upward angle from a longitudinal centerline to a respective side of the base. The fins deflect combustion by-products laterally outwardly within the flue to promote heat transfer. The fins are of selected configurations generally increasing in surface area upwardly along the planar base for selectively controlling pressure drop within the exhaust flue. Hanger tabs project outwardly from the upper end of the base to suspend the baffle arrangement within the flue. The planar base, hanger tabs and exhaust-directing fins are formed integrally from a unitary body of sheet metal.

The present invention relates to a combined fuel cell and boiler system, and comprising: a fuel cell portion for receiving supplied outside air and raw material gas and generating electricity through a catalyst reaction; and a boiler portion comprising a latent heat exchanger, which is connected to an exhaust gas pipe of the fuel cell portion, for collecting the latent heat of self-generated exhaust gas with the latent heat of exhaust gas from the fuel cell portion. The present invention can effectively increase the efficiency of a boiler by supplying the exhaust gas from the fuel cell to the latent heat exchanger in the boiler, so as to be heat-exchanged in the latent heat exchanger with the exhaust gas from the boiler and then discharged, and can simplify the composition by unifying exhaust gas pipes.

A heat exchanger having a helix coil incorporated into a stainless steel elongated variable diameter cylindrical housing and a radial direct-firing burner and a blower-driven hot flue gas to heat water. A buffer tank is incorporated within the lumen of the helix coil. At least one rope seal is disposed between adjacent coil loops of a portion of the helix coil for enhancing heat transfer to the helix coil. In one embodiment, the heat exchanger further comprises a Stirling engine comprised of a free piston having hot and cold ends that is disposed within the cavity taken up the buffer tank, wherein the hot end receives heat from the burner and the cold end is cooled by the incoming cold water line to form an electric power generator.

A heat exchanger having a cylindrical body comprising an upper section, a lower section, a side water jacket surrounding the upper and lower sections, a top water jacket disposed atop the upper section and a gas exhaust disposed below the lower section. A water cavity is disposed substantially in the lower section while a gas cavity having a burner is disposed substantially centrally within the gas cavity. A plurality of water tubes disposed in a ring formation, connect the water cavity through the gas cavity to the top water jacket and a plurality of gas tubes also disposed in ring formations, connect the gas cavity through the water cavity to the gas exhaust. At least one of the gas tubes ring has a diameter that is greater than that of the water tubes ring.

The invention relates to a heat exchanger, comprising a hollow central body which is received in a housing and defines an inner channel for a first medium, wherein a space surrounding the central body in the housing defines at least one outer channel for a second medium, wherein the central body has on either side parts which protrude from a main plane thereof and are connected to mutually opposite parts of the housing and which bound the outer channel such that the outer channel has a meandering form substantially parallel to the main plane of the central body.The invention further relates to a method for forming such a heat exchanger, and to a method for use thereof.
摘要:
Double cylinder walls are adjustably sealed to an exhaust gas conduit of any of a variety of hot water heating systems. An inner cylinder wall houses a water preheater pipe coil with an inner turbulator coil to circulate source water to be preheated by the exhaust gasses prior to feeding into the water heating system. An outer cylinder wall sealed to the inner cylinder wall prevents exhaust gas leakage from the inner cylinder wall from escaping. Insulation between the cylinder walls retains the heat within the inner cylinder for maximum preheating and an outer cylinder wall that is safe to the touch. A series of valves and pressure and flow gauges control the flow of water and diverts the flow or shuts down the preheater system or the entire hot water heating system as needed for failsafe operation.

The heat exchanger (1) comprises a helical flow conduit (8) for a liquid, made with a pipe (9) of extruded thermally conductive material, provided with a pair of facing and mutually parallel fins (13), which extend from a portion of the outer surface thereof. This pipe (9) is helically wound about a longitudinal axis (A-A) such as to form a sequence of adjacent turns (10) separated by interspaces (11) through which, during use, hot gases, in particular combustion fumes, flow. The fins (13) extend helically, towards the outside relative to the axis (A-A) of the helical conduit (8), and have respective pluralities of through-openings (20, 21) which interconnect the region (16) comprised between them and the interspaces (11, 14) defined with respect to the adjacent turns (10). Flow paths are thus defined through these fins (13), outside the helical conduit (9), for the hot gases which during use pass through the interspaces (11, 14) between the turns of the helical conduit (8).
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.
