The invention provides for protection of life safety, property and the liability thereof, by means of a intrinsically safe unpressurized storage tank water heater while producing hot pressurized water. The design addresses, with effect, convection, radiation, conduction and evaporative heat energy losses. Heat lost returned as usable hot water resulting in ultra-low standing loss. The stationary water medium prevents sedimentation, fouling of the heating element and gases expelled. Being dielectrically isolated, the medium may also be treated to further reduce corrosion. The design allows for a quick recovery rate and provides adjustable volume of hot water, being stackable, stage able, renewable, repairable and recyclable.

A hot-water storage type boiler having a vortex guide portion is proposed. Since the present invention includes a spiral portion inside a casing, water supplied into the casing is moved to the upper side of the space part, while being in contact with fire tubes for a long time by moving spirally along the spiral portion, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency of the fire tubes. In addition, since the water supplied into the casing is moved spirally along the spiral portion to form a vortex, the flow of water moving in the direction of a hot-water discharge portion collides with a firebox lower surface part at a high speed, thereby having an effect of preventing scale from accumulating on the firebox lower surface 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.

Disclosed is an air heating apparatus including an expansion tank which preserves water, a water heater which receives heat from a combustion gas generated through a combustion reaction and heats the water, a heating heat exchanger which receives the water heated by the water heater and exchanges heat with air that is to be discharged for heating, a fan which sends the air to the heating heat exchanger, and a case, in which the water heater, the expansion tank, the heating heat exchanger, and the fan are disposed in an interior thereof.

The present disclosure includes arrangements, systems, and methods for removing mineral deposits. Disclosed is an aqueous solution within a container, with the container containing mineral deposits. The aqueous solution submerges the mineral deposits and may include at least one acid, or a combination of an organic acid and an inorganic acid in percentages that allow the replacement of toxic dangerous chemical ingredients. Disclosed also is a cathode and an anode within the container that are at least partially submerged within the aqueous solution. A direct current power source is configured to direct a voltage across the cathode and the anode to generate an electrical charge gradient within the aqueous solution.

A tank cleaning tool is disclosed for cleaning sediments and debris out of a tank. The tool has housing with an inlet end to connect to drain hole of the tank, and an outlet end to discharge slurry out of the tool. An agitator is present at the inlet end, and can be inserted through drain hole of the tank to agitate sediments and debris inside the tank to pull sediments and debris into the inlet end when the agitator is spun. The tool may preferably include an auger connected to lower end of said agitator where the auger grinds sediments and debris inside the housing to form slurry. The tool may also include a grinding chamber between said outlet end and said inlet end to grind the sediments and debris inside said housing to form slurry. A drill can be used to rotate the auger and the agitator.

The disclosed technology includes a fluid heating device that can include a heating chamber in communication with a heating element, and an ultrasonic transducer in communication with the heating chamber and for transmitting ultrasonic sound waves. The disclosed technology includes an ultrasonic transducer system that includes an assembly configured to attach to a fluid heating device, and an ultrasonic transducer affixed to the assembly. The disclosed technology also includes a method for ultrasonic cleaning within a fluid heating device that can include a controller configured to receive flow data from a flow sensor; based on the flow data, determine that fluid is flowing through a heating chamber; and output instructions for an ultrasonic transducer to output ultrasonic sound waves.
