摘要： The heat exchanger has a helically bound bundle (2) of tubes fixedly mounted inside a casing fitted with a pipe for evacuating gases generated by a burner (6). The casing (1) is made of a heat-resistant plastic material. A containment mechanism comprising a tie rod (5) and an annular plate (30) ensures mechanical containment of the bundle in an axial direction to absorb thrust loads resulting from fluid internal pressure

摘要： Disclosed is a method of mapping an in-building water supply installation having multiple controllable water outlets, the installation including a supply of water; in a water flow path between the supply of water and the controllable water outlets, a flow measurement device and a flow regulator; a processor being operatively connected to the flow measurement device and the at least one flow regulator. The method comprises opening a first of the water outlets and processing signals from the flow measurement device with the processor at least until a first flow characteristic is determined; closing the first of the water outlets; repeating the opening, processing and closing operations for each of the other water outlets to determine for each controllable water outlet a respective flow characteristic. Subsequently the processor is configured to; identify the opening of a particular one of the plurality of controllable water outlets based on the similarity of a detected flow characteristic to a respective flow characteristic; and control said at least one flow regulator, based on the identification, to control a supply of water to the identified controllable water outlet.

摘要： An electric braking resistor-based heat generator for process fluids or emulsions includes a housing having a connection end, a body portion, and a closed end, where at least part of the housing forms an at least partially enclosed portion, an electric braking resistor at least partially disposed within the enclosed portion of the housing, and a thermally conductive material disposed within the enclosed portion of the housing that provides thermal communication between the electric braking resistor and the housing. The electric braking resistor converts electrical energy provided by an electric power source into thermal energy that is thermally communicated from the housing to the process fluids or emulsions.

摘要： Point-of-use water heating systems, systems including such heating systems, and methods of operating such systems are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, a point-of-use water heating system includes a thermostatic mixing valve and a hot water tank configured to heat a portion of input water received from the mixing valve to become heated water having an elevated temperature. The heating system includes an actuatable valve and a buffering chamber having an outlet configured to provide, at least indirectly, output water having an output temperature less than the elevated temperature. The mixing valve is configured to output mixed water, and buffering chamber is configured to retain a residual portion of the mixed water when the actuatable valve is switched to a closed status. When the actuatable valve is subsequently switched to an open status, an amount of water communicated from the mixing valve undergoes a mixing with the residual portion.

摘要： A multi-split type air-conditioning device includes an indoor hot water unit, an indoor air unit, and an outdoor unit to which the indoor hot water unit and the indoor air unit are connected. The outdoor unit includes an outdoor unit-control unit configured to control a refrigerant circuit and transmits control commands for the indoor hot water unit and the indoor air unit via transmission signal lines. The outdoor unit-control unit executes an indoor hot water unit-determination process of causing the refrigerant circuit to perform a heating operation, and determining the branch port to which the indoor hot water unit is connected and an indoor air unit-determination process of causing the refrigerant circuit to perform a cooling operation, and determining a connection relationship between the branch port to which the indoor air unit is connected and the indoor air unit.
