FLUE SYSTEMS FOR FUEL BURNING DEVICES

An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a flue gas outlet assembly including a flue gas inlet configured to connect to an exhaust outlet of a fuel burning device, a flue gas outlet, and a flue pipe condensate drain assembly including a condensate inlet, a condensate outlet, and a float valve disposed between the condensate inlet and the condensate outlet, the float valve including a bullet-shaped float, wherein the float valve is biased closed and is configured to open to permit a flow of condensate from the condensate inlet to the condensate outlet upon a sufficient amount of condensate collecting proximate the float valve.

EXHAUST ADAPTER

An exhaust adapter includes a cylindrical part for connecting an exhaust pipe of a combustion device to a collective exhaust duct; and a backflow prevention structure for preventing backflow of the exhaust from the collective exhaust duct side to the exhaust pipe side. The backflow prevention structure includes: a damper receiving part formed with an opening through which the exhaust from the exhaust pipe passes; an exhaust damper plate that opens the opening by pressure of the exhaust from the exhaust pipe and closes the opening by its own weight when there is no exhaust from the exhaust pipe; a support shaft that rotatably supports the exhaust damper plate; and a bearing part that supports the support shaft. A pair of shaft hole parts of the exhaust damper plate for inserting the support shaft is formed in a long hole shape.

The present disclosure provides a cap and a water-heating device having the same. The cap for covering a top side of a case of the water-heating device includes a cover having a receiving space that is open at the bottom, the cover including an exhaust hole formed therein for releasing exhaust gas in the case to the outside, and an exhaust duct that is received in the receiving space and coupled to the cover and that forms an exhaust channel that connects an exhaust tube included in the case and the exhaust hole and releases the exhaust gas, in which the exhaust duct is formed of a material different from a material of the cover, and the material of the exhaust duct has higher heat resistance than the material of the cover.

Vent Attachment for a Tankless Water Heater

A vent attachment facilitates attaching a coaxial air intake and exhaust vent of a tankless water heater to a Category I vent, such as B-vent. The vent attachment comprises a first end with a coaxial connector comprising a central exhaust pathway and a circumferential air intake pathway. The vent attachment also comprises a second end with a tubular exhaust vent connector in fluid communication with the central exhaust pathway. The vent attachment further comprises a frame that encloses the central exhaust pathway and comprises a mesh configured to provide fluid communication through the frame with the air intake pathway. Additionally, operation of the tankless water heater is modified to ensure that the exhaust generated is suitable for venting through a Category I vent. The tankless water heater maintains a high fuel consumption rate such that the temperature of hot water produced increases throughout each of a plurality of burner stages.
