Abstract:
The present invention relates to a plane type heat exchanger that has a simple structure and can be easily manufactured by substituting a rectangular plane type for a spiral cylindrical type of the structure of a heat exchange pipe according to the related art which is used for a heat exchanger using combustion gas that is heated by a burner and makes laminar flow. According to the present invention, the plane type heat exchanger having heat exchange pipes, through which heating water flows, and makes heat exchange by contacting with laminar-flow combustion gas, the plane type heat exchanger, includes: a plurality of heat exchange pipes that have a rectangular cross section with a larger width of a side, which contacts with the combustion gas, than the height, and are arranged at regular intervals in parallel with each other; inner plates where both ends of the heat exchange pipes are inserted to be fixed at regular intervals; and outer plates that are communicated with the heat exchange pipes through the inner plates and form spaces covering the outer surfaces of the inner plates.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved heat exchanger comprising a water inlet duct and a water outlet duct, between which a heat exchanger is provided, comprised of a spiral duct through which water to be heated passes; said heat exchanger individuating a combustion chamber within which a burner is provided, said burner being supplied by an air-gas mixture; and upper cap placed so as to be in touch with at least the last upper turn of the heat exchanger duct, and a lower cap, placed distanced from the last lower turn of the heat exchanger duct, so as to create a gap for passage of gas and discharging condensate; said heat exchanger being characterised in that it comprises a manifold element having such a surface to innerly occupy the upper surface of said combustion chamber, an concave shape and placed above said upper cap, with the upper surface of which it realises a cavity within which an air - gas mixture is collected before being conveyed within said burner.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger (1), comprising at least one first exchange tube (2) and at least one second exchange tube (3), further comprising at least two coil turns arranged substantially at a cylindrical surface that lies around the longitudinal axis of the burner and respectively have a first end for connection to an inlet (5) of a fluid to be heated and a second end for connection to an outlet (6) for a heated fluid, the turns of said at least one first tube (2) being alternated with the turns of said at least one second tube (3), said heat exchanger further having spacer means (9) between adjacent turns.
Abstract:
A condensing boiler includes a heat exchanger with a burner adjacent to the top of the heat exchanger. There is an exhaust for condensate adjacent to the bottom of the heat exchanger. There is a intake system including an air conduit, a fuel inlet and a fan which supplies a fuel/air mixture to the burner during a heating mode and which supplies air to the heat exchanger during an idle mode. There are controls which modulate the fan so that the air flow to the heat exchanger during the idle mode is sufficient to inhibit upward migration of condensate through the heat exchanger, but insufficient to cause significant outflow of air to the exhaust.
Abstract:
The invention is a gas fired water booster (10) comprising a holding tank (12), a centrifugal pump (18), an infrared burner (50) enclosed by a woven ceramic fiber sleeve, a primary (30) and a secondary heat exchanger (70), and a gas/air supply source. Preferably, the tank (12) and the burner (50) are generally annular in shape and the burner (50) is disposed substantially within the tank (12). An air/gas mixture is supplied to the burner (50) by a blower (54) and is ignited creating a combustion surface approximately one eighth of an inch above the surface of the woven ceramic fiber sleeve (52). Water is continuously circulated through the heat exchange system and the burner (50) remains on until a temperature sensor (81) indicates that the water has attained a temperature in the desired sanitizing range. When the booster is turned off the pump (18) continues to pump water through the system for a period of time in order to remove any latent heat from the heat exchange system thereby avoiding vaporization of water left in therein, thus enhancing the life and reliability of the heat exchanger and booster accordingly.

The invention concerns a high-pressure cleaning apparatus with a high-pressure pump for a cleaning fluid and with a heat exchanger which comprises a fossil fuel burner (9) and a helical pipe (13) through which the cleaning fluid flows and into whose interior (16) the burner (9) directs the hot combustion gases. According to the invention, in order to optimize the transfer of heat, the height of the cylinder formed by the helical pipe (13) is between three and seven times the internal diameter of this cylinder.

A heat exchange cell (10) is described comprising a helically- shaped heat exchanger (13), mounted in a containment casing (11), in which a first heat transfer fluid circulates; a first heat exchange chamber (22), defined in the casing (11), in which a first heat exchange portion of the heat exchanger (13) is housed and in which a first collection chamber (15) of the second heat transfer fluid is defined externally to the heat exchanger (13); a second heat exchange chamber (26) defined in the casing (11), in which a second heat exchange portion of the heat exchanger (13) is housed and in which - externally to the heat exchanger (13) - a second collection chamber (16) of the second heat transfer fluid is defined; and a fluid outlet passage (35) from the second heat exchange chamber (26) defined in a peripheral side wall (11c) of the containment casing (11) in proximity to a rear wall (l id) thereof. The first and second heat exchange chambers (22; 26) are separated internally to the heat exchanger (13) by a first separating element (14) comprising a substantially plate-shaped body and externally to the heat exchanger (13) by at least a second separating element (32) extending radially between a radially outer wall (13a) of the heat exchanger (13) and the peripheral side wall (11c) of the containment casing (11) so as to define at least one passage (17) of fluid between the first (15) and the second (16) collection chamber of the second heat transfer fluid.
