A premix gas burner (100) comprises a metal mounting plate (102) for mounting the premix gas burner in a heating appliance; a metal plate structure (104) and a burner deck (106). The burner deck comprises a woven wire mesh on the outer surface of which premix gas is combusted after the premix gas has flown through the woven wire mesh. The woven wire mesh comprises a circumferential edge (108). The circumferential edge comprises a plurality of tabs (110). The mounting plate comprises a central opening. The burner deck is inserted through the central opening. The metal mounting plate or the metal plate structure comprises at least one ridge (112). The at least one ridge comprises at least one notch (114). Each of the tabs is positioned in a notch. The metal mounting plate and the metal plate structure are in contact with each other at the top of the ridge, such that the open side of the at least one notch is covered; and such that the tabs are held in between the metal mounting plate and the metal plate structure with play being present of the tabs relative to the metal mounting plate and relative to the metal plate structure.

The disclosed technology includes a controller for a cascade boiler system having both condensing and non-condensing boilers. The controller can receive supply water temperature data and return water temperature data to determine a current temperature differential in the system. The controller can determine a current load demand value using the current temperature differential and a set point temperature. If the current load demand value is less than or equal to a first load demand threshold, the controller can output a control signal for a condensing boiler to transition to a heating mode. If the current load demand value is greater than a second load demand threshold, the controller can output a control signal for a non-condensing boiler to transition to a heating mode.

A mounting bracket for mounting a condensate trap to a heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) system that can be mounted in multiple orientations such that the condensate trap receives condensate fed by gravity.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a smoke tube boiler which can prevent leakage of mixed gas and exhaust gas through a gap between a mix chamber and an ignition bar assembly. To this end, the smoke tube boiler according to the present invention comprises: a mix chamber having a mixing space, in which a combustion gas and air are mixed, and a flat plate type burner, the mix chamber being disposed on the upper side of a combustion chamber; an ignition bar assembly assembled to pass through one side of the mix chamber and extending across the upper portion of the combustion chamber to the lower side of the flat plate type burner; and a sealing means for preventing the mixed gas in the mixing space and an exhaust gas in the combustion chamber from leaking to the outside through a gap between the mix chamber and the ignition bar assembly.

The present invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising: a burner for combusting a mixture of air and fuel; and a heat exchange unit in which heat is exchanged between combustion gas caused by the combustion of the burner and a heating medium, wherein the heat exchange unit includes a plurality of unit plates stacked on each other, and a sensible-heat exchange unit and a latent-heat exchange unit coaxially disposed around the burner are integrally formed with the unit plates.

A heat exchange cell includes a casing, a heat exchanger in which a first heat transfer fluid flows, a feeding zone, and first and second collection chambers for a second heat transfer fluid. The casing can include rear, front, and peripheral side walls. The heat exchanger can be helically-shaped, mounted in the casing, and include at least one tubular duct for the flow of the first heat transfer fluid. The tubular duct can be coiled about a longitudinal axis and define a helix. The feeding zone of the second heat transfer fluid can be defined in the casing coaxially and internally with respect to the helix. The first chamber can be defined externally with respect to the heat exchanger by a radially outer wall thereof and the peripheral side wall. The second chamber can be at least partially delimited by at least one separating element.

A water heater includes an inner water tube coil and an outer water tube coil separated by a drum baffle. The inner and outer coils extend above a top edge of the drum baffle by at least a full turn of each coil. A flue gas bypass path is defined between a top edge of the drum baffle and a top insulation layer above the inner and outer coils. Flue gases flow radially though the inner coil, up along the drum baffle, through the flue gas bypass path, and downwardly over the outer coil to heat water flowing through the inner and outer coils. The water flows into the outer coil at the bottom of the coil, winds upwardly through the outer coil in countercurrent flow with respect to the flue gases, then down through the inner coil.

A passive heater for heating a drainage tube, the passive heater including: an elongated flexible thermal conductor including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is configured to be disposed in contacting relationship with a heat source and at least a portion of the elongated flexible thermal conductor is configured to be disposed in contacting relationship with a portion of the drainage tube; and an eyelet disposed on the first end, the eyelet configured to facilitate the securement of the elongated flexible thermal conductor to the heat source, wherein the first end is configured to receive heat and transmit it along the elongated flexible thermal conductor to increase temperature of the portion of the drainage tube to prevent freezing of a fluid through the drainage tube.
