Disclosed herein are connectors for a tankless water heater. The connectors can comprise a flange, an aperture extending through the flange having a first diameter, one or more slots extending through the flange, a connector portion substantially surrounding the aperture and extending outward from the flange away from the tankless water heater. The aperture can correspond to an air inlet extending into the tankless water heater, and the air inlet can have a second diameter that is larger than the aperture. To keep the flange in place, the one or more slots can correspond to one or more fastening holes in the tankless water heater. The one or more slots can be substantially parallel and on opposite sides of the aperture. The connector can be in a secured state when the one or more slots are fastened to the one or more fastening holes.

The present invention relates to an electrical fluid-heating device, in particular intended for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one electrical heating element (4) intended to heat the fluid, a temperature sensor (83) intended to give information about the temperature of the fluid, a switch (87), called inrush current switch, intended to create an inrush current in a power supply circuit (88) of said one or more electrical heating elements, an opening means (89) for opening said circuit in the event of said inrush current occurring, the temperature sensor (83) and the inrush current switch (87) being positioned independently of one another, the heating device being configured so as to transmit a signal from the temperature sensor (83) to the inrush current switch (87).

The invention relates to a device for electrically heating (1) a liquid, comprising a heating body (11), and a housing (3) defining, at least in part, a chamber (30) for circulating the liquid, the heating body (11) comprising at least one electric heating element (7, 9) extending in the chamber (30) and attached to an inner wall of the device defining, at least in part, the chamber (30) for circulating the liquid, so as to form a first mechanical connection. According to the invention, the electric heating device (1) comprises at least one mechanical connecting element (21) arranged in the chamber (30) and mechanically connecting the at least one electric heating element (7, 9) to an inner surface of the housing (3) extending opposite the heating body (11), so as to form a second mechanical connection separate from the first mechanical connection.

A portable cooking device operable by electricity or by a rechargeable lithium Ion battery for use when electricity is or is not readily available.

A heat supply system with a first temperature detection unit that detects a first temperature of hot water in a tank, and a second temperature detection unit that detects a second temperature above the first temperature detection unit. When the first temperature is a first lower limit temperature or less, where a temperature increase operation by a combined heat and power supply device is permitted, a control device operates the combined heat and power supply device and flow state adjustment devices such that a heat medium circulates between the combined heat, power supply device, and hot water storage device. When the second temperature is a second lower limit temperature or less, where a temperature increase operation by a boiler device is permitted, the control device operates the boiler device and the flow state adjustment devices such that the heat medium circulates between the boiler device and hot water storage device.

A biomass heating system for firing fuel in the form of pellets and/or wood chips is disclosed, comprising: a boiler with a combustion device; a heat exchanger with an inlet and an outlet; wherein the combustion device comprises a combustion chamber with a primary combustion zone and with a secondary combustion zone provided downstream thereof; the combustion device having a rotating grate on which the fuel can be burned; the secondary combustion zone of the combustion chamber being fluidically connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger and the primary combustion zone being laterally enclosed by a plurality of combustion chamber bricks.

The invention relates to a fluid container for a motor vehicle, having a container wall that bounds a storage volume for storing liquid with respect to an environment, a heating element that is arranged in the storage volume, and a housing, wherein the housing encloses the heating element in a liquid-tight manner with respect to the supply volume.

A replacement abstract is included on the final page of this document.

A heat exchanger for a boiler or similar heating device comprises a casing and a tube assembly inside the casing. The tube assembly includes a plurality of modules (6.sub.x, 6.sub.y) arranged in a juxtaposed configuration, each module (6.sub.x, 6.sub.y) having an at least approximately annular shape. The modules (6.sub.x,6.sub.y) each include a respective tube (7) that is at least partially embedded in a respective thermally conductive body (8) overmoulded to the tube (7). Each thermally conductive body (8) defines an upper face and a lower face of the respective module (6.sub.x, 6.sub.y), where at least at the upper face of a first module (6.sub.y) and the lower face of a second module (6.sub.x) the corresponding thermally conductive body (8) defines upper fins (24) and lower fins (23.sub.x), respectively, which extend in height substantially in an axial direction of the tube assembly and extend in length substantially in a radial direction of the tube assembly (5). The upper fins (24) of the thermally conductive body (8) of the first module (6.sub.y) are in an axially staggered position with respect to the lower fins (23.sub.x) of the thermally conductive body (8) of the second module (6.sub.x), with the upper fins (24), on the one hand, and with the lower fins (23.sub.x), on the other hand, which are at mutual distances such that the upper fins (24) of the thermally conductive body (8) of the first module (6.sub.y) are set between the lower fins (23.sub.x) of the thermally conductive body (8) of the second module (6.sub.x), or vice versa. In this way, between each upper fin (24) of the thermally conductive body (8) of the first module (6.sub.y) and each lower fin (23.sub.x) of the thermally conductive body (8) of the second module (6.sup.x), or vice versa, a respective radial passageway (P) is defined for the combustion fumes produced by a burner equipping the heat exchanger.

An illustrated view of an exemplary pool heater device for providing heating of water for a swimming pool is presented. The pool heater device is useful for providing a quick and almost instantaneous heating of the water for a swimming pool.
