our specialists can determine if your tank would benefit from insulation. If the tank is hot to the touch, heat is being expelled and wasted. Wrapping it in insulation is an inexpensive, fast, and effective solution that will make your water heater more efficient and cost-effective over time....
2c)20. A resistive microheater is also added to the reflector head to realize a reset function in the event of the contacts are latched due to adhesion force after turning ON from a detection. Application of a short voltage pulse across the heater causes the reflector head to be thermally...
flame171from a burner172. Burner172can burn sour methane from container130or scrubbed methane from container265, or gas from another source. Alternatively, burner172can be replaced by a resistive electric heater (not shown), or a source of solar or geothermal heat (not shown). A valve173...
water is pumped for heating to a high temperature that exceeds the boiling point thereof. About 1.0-3.0 million BTU of heat is generated by a burner in the heater94around the finned coil. The flame of the burner is embedded in a flame mesh that provides a high density heat. The heater...
One possible way to detect loss of flame may be to monitor pulsations in the difference between the flue gas pressure inside a fired heater and atmospheric pressure at a given elevation (commonly referred to as “draft”). During stable combustion, the draft will pulsate slightly (see Figure ...
A gas leak– If gas leaks near your water heater, the small ignition flame/ pilot light can ignite the gas, causing a dangerous explosion and probable fire. Excessive water pressure– Pressure builds inside the tank whenever water is heated. If your water heater’s safety mechanisms fail, the...
