Disclosed is a water heater including a case provided with an air supply hole and an air discharge hole, a burner provided in an interior of the case, and a humidified air supply part that provides humidified air to the burner together with a fuel. The humidified air supply part includes a first accommodation tank that accommodates water to generate vapor, and a humidified air supply tank that provides a space for supplying the vapor supplied from the first accommodation tank to air introduced into an interior of the case through the air supply hole.

Method of assessment of the quality of the burn of the gases in the flare and adjustment to the vapor flow rate in a continuous and constant way

The present invention presents a method of assessing the quality of the burning of the gases in the flare and adjusting the vapor flow rate in a continuous way and with flexibility to integrate with different instrumentation topologies of the flare control system. The state of the flare flame is identified from an image set of the flame, classifying it into one of four: flame with excess vapor, optimized flame, flame with soot or images with insufficient information to classify them as one of the previous states of the flare flame. In addition, it is further able to quantify the height of the flame. The invention comprises the following components: flare, camera, image stream manager, edge computer, data historian, alert manager, information visualization panels, distributed digital control system, DDCS, and cloud storage and computing.
