An exhaust adapter secures an exhaust tube relative to an exhaust pipe. The exhaust adapter is formed to have an annular shape enclosing a through hole, and is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube and on the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe by inserting the exhaust tube into the through hole. When the exhaust adapter is being fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube, the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust adapter presses the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube, and when the exhaust adapter is being fitted on the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe, the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust adapter presses the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe.

The heat exchange device (200) includes a primary heat exchanger (10), a secondary heat exchanger (20), and a connecting pipe (60). The connecting pipe connects the primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger. The primary heat exchanger (10) includes a primary heat exchange part (11), a shell plate (12) surrounding the primary heat exchange part, and a body pipe part (13) for cooling the shell plate. The body pipe part (13) is disposed closer to a burner than the primary heat exchange part (11) and is connected to the connecting pipe (60). The primary heat exchange part (11) includes a first heat transfer tube part (111) connected to the body pipe part (13), and a second heat transfer tube part (112) connected to the first heat transfer tube part and disposed on a side opposite to the body pipe part with respect to the first heat transfer tube part.

A liquid containment device and method for containing leakage from a liquid reservoir. The liquid containment device comprises a base and a peripheral wall that comprises flexible resilient folds that allow a portion of the peripheral wall to be flattened against the floor to slide the liquid containment device under the liquid reservoir. The peripheral wall is resilient and returns readily to a position where it extends upwardly from the base when released. The liquid containment device can be installed by lifting slightly a reservoir, flattening a portion of the peripheral wall, sliding it under the reservoir until the flattened portion protrudes past the far edge of the reservoir whereupon it resiliently regains its shape forming a receptacle under the reservoir. Abstract not to be interpreted as limiting.

A heating device having a holding apparatus to accommodate a control unit, the holding apparatus having a receiving part. The receiving part has at least two struts, and a receptacle for the control unit is developed between the at least two struts. A holding apparatus for a heating device is also described.

An integrated pressure condensing boiler is provided which relates to the technical field of boilers. The integrated pressure condensing boiler includes a pressure-bearing housing, a heat-exchange furnace arranged in the pressure-bearing housing, a combustion chamber communicating with the heat-exchange furnace and cooling tube groups fixed in the heat-exchange furnace. Heat-exchange medium flows from bottom to top in the pressure-bearing housing and in the cooling tube groups, and exchanges heat with high-temperature flue gas flowing from top to bottom in the heat-exchange furnace, thus achieving a counterflow heat exchanging. The heat-exchange furnace includes a multi-stage heat-exchange chamber with each heat-exchange chamber being cylindrical. The heat-exchange chambers are arranged in sequence from top to bottom to achieve a flue gas diffusing manner that high-temperature flue gas diffuses from center part to periphery and then gathers from periphery to center part.

A tool and method clean and drain a water heater tank, removing water and sediment from the tank. An insert tube fits through the hot water outlet port to reach the bottom of the tank interior. A fitting connects the insert tube to a hose extending down the outside of the tank to the floor/ground to a drain or container that is lower than the bottom of the tank interior. After priming the tool by using the cold water inlet flow to fill the tool with water and sediment, the cold water inlet is disconnected from the water heater, venting the tank so that water and sediment are siphoned out of the tank through the tool to empty the tank. The tool and method work without unplugging or disconnecting a clogged water heater drain line, without using a compressor or pump, and without creating a wet, messy environment.
