A water heater system includes a gas burner configured to selectively produce flue gases, and a heat exchanger for heating water in the water heater system. The water heater system is operable in a heating mode, and a standby mode. An exhaust assembly is in communication with the heat exchanger, and includes a condensate collector configured to receive the flue gases and condensate. A first temperature sensor is positioned to sense a temperature of the condensate within the condensate collector. The first temperature sensor is configured to detect a rate of temperature change of the condensate. A controller is configured to determine a leakage when the rate of temperature change adjusts from a first state to a second state when the water heater system is in the standby mode after the water heater system was in the heating mode.

A heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a furnace having a primary heat exchanger and a secondary heat exchanger, where the primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger form a heat exchange relationship between an airflow and an exhaust gas, and where the primary heat exchanger is positioned upstream of the secondary heat exchanger, a burner configured to generate the exhaust gas, a sensor configured to monitor an ambient temperature, and a control system configured to receive feedback from the sensor, compare the feedback to a threshold, operate the furnace in a first mode when the ambient temperature exceeds the threshold, and operate the furnace in a second mode when the ambient temperature is at or below the threshold, where the furnace operates above a condensation temperature when in the second mode, such that the exhaust gas does not condense when operating in the second mode.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes arranged in a juxtaposed configuration, and at least one first manifold member on the outside of the tubes. Each tube is wound to define a planar spiral, having a plurality of co-planar turns, and has an end portion, which extends starting from the inside of the corresponding planar spiral towards the outside thereof. The end portion is superimposed on the co-planar turns, in a position corresponding to a major face of the planar spiral, for connection to the manifold member. tube has a transverse depression defined in the co-planar turns at the major face of the planar spiral, and the transverse depression at least partially receives a a corresponding part of the end portion.

Disclosed are a gas furnace and an air conditioner having the same. The gas furnace includes: a burner for burning fuel; a manifold providing the fuel to an entry of the burner; a heat exchanger spaced apart from an exit of the burner and providing a passage for combustion gas generated by the burner; an inducer for causing a fluid to flow through the burner and the heat exchanger; a blower for causing a flow of air passing around the heat exchanger; and an air shutter positioned between the manifold and the entry of the burner. The air shutter includes: a housing having an inner space that communicates with the manifold and the entry of the burner; and a primary hole formed to penetrate the housing and able to be opened and closed.

A water heater includes a first heater, a second heater, and a controller. The controller can enable different operational modes of the water heater, wherein only the first heater operates, only the second heater operates, or both the first and the second heaters operate. The controller can also be configured to enable a hybrid operational mode and a bypass operational mode. Further, in the different operational modes, the controller can direct water flow to at least one of a first conduit coupled to the first heater, a second conduit coupled to the second heater, and a bypass conduit. The controller can be configured to receive input signals relating to environmental conditions around the water heater and/or an aquatic system in which the water heater is installed.

Embodiments of the invention provide a pool heater including a housing, a first tankless heater, a second tankless heater, and a controller. The controller is configured to activate only the first tankless heater when a first condition is met, activate only the second tankless heater when a second condition is met, and activate the first and the second tankless heaters simultaneously when a third condition is met.

A heat extractor captures and separates the heat and the carbon monoxide from waste energy that is expelled from the furnace as an unusable bi-product. The heat extractor includes a core assembly, a furnace flue pipe inlet, and a furnace flue pipe outlet. The heat extractor is secured within a return air duct of the furnace, while a furnace outlet is connected to the furnace flue pipe inlet and the furnace flue pipe outlet is connected to a chimney outlet. When the furnace is operating, the hot exhaust passes through the heat extractor on its way to the chimney outlet. Within the return air duct there is a heat exchange from the heat extractor to the return cool air, thereby preheating the cool air just before it enters the furnace causing less consumption of energy to heat that air while the carbon monoxide harmlessly passes through the chimney outlet.

A burner system for gas-fired furnaces that includes a burner box having one or more burner heads. The burner box is linked to one or more heat exchanger tubes. A flame suppression tube extends from each of the one or more burner heads. The flame suppression tube extends in the direction of one of the one or more heat exchanger tubes. A space separates the flame suppression tube from the heat exchanger tube. A blower is configured to provide a mixture of flammable gas and air to the burner box. An air delivery means provides air in the space separating the flame suppression tube from the heat exchanger tube.

A heat exchanging unit exchanges heat between a fluid to be heated and exhaust gas. The heat exchanging unit includes a heat exchange portion, a header portion, and a flow changing portion. The heat exchange portion includes a heat exchange pipe in the interior of which the fluid to be heated flows. The header portion is connected to the heat exchange pipe, the header portion allowing the fluid to be heated to flow from the header portion to the heat exchange pipe or from the heat exchange pipe to the header portion. The flow changing portion changes the state of flow of the exhaust gas introduced into the heat exchange portion.
