IMPROVED WATER HEATER
WITH SUBMERGED COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Field of the Invention This invention relates generally to the art of water heaters and more particularly to an improved residential gas operated water heater.
Background of the Invention Water heating in residential and commercial establishments has been carri~d out for many years by providing a burner below a tank of water controlled by a thermostat. In ~he past, the efficiency of such domestic water heaters was of lit~le concern as natural gas and bottled gas used as an energy source were relatively inexpensive.
The content of the exhaust gases of such water heaters was also of little concern. The gas burned was considered a clean fuel and each install.ation was so small that products of combustion introduced into the atmosphere by such units were ignored.
The efficiency of all gas consuming applianees has now become more of a concern to both government uni~s and the public at large. Also, the products of combustion of gas have come under government scrutiny, and in some jurisdictions, the amount of certain gases produced by domestic gas wa~ter heaters is now the subject of regulation.
Oxides of nitrogen generated by the cornbustion of fuels are currently the subject of governmental interest and regulation. Oxides of nitrogen are believed to react in the a~mosphere to form ozone. Oxides of nitrogen are also believed to react with hydrocarbon pollutants in a complex manner to form chemicals which irritate the eyes and nose and may be harmfuL. Beeause of this, emissions ~ ~2 t j 7 ~ ) of oxides of nitrogen from many sources including water heaters are regulated in the Los Angeles area. Regulation of emission of oxides of nitrogen is becoming more widespread.
Attem~ts have bePn made in the past to address the efficiency issue in domestic gas water heaters. U.S.
Patent No. 4,397,29~ to Moore, et al., describes a water heater using a combustion chamber surrounded by a body of water to be heated. Such an arrangement minimizes heat loss to the atmosphere from the combustion chamber thereby improving efficiency. While this structure improves efficiency, it increases the cost of manufacturing the water heater because of the complex construction involved.
U.S. Patent 4,301,772 to Eising also proposes to increase efficiency by disposing a combustion chamber within the body of water to be heated. This structure uses a cylindrical combustion chamber inclined with respect to horizontal. Means are provided to deal with water condensed from the products of combustion which gather in this inclined combustion chamber and flow toward the burner opening.
Neither of these patents discusses the reduction of oxides of nitrogen in the products of combustion.
12S2678 ' ~unlm~lry of the Invention The present invention contemplates a new and improved water heating apparatus having a high efficiency combustion chamber which reduces production of oxides of nitrogen.
In accordance with the present invention, tnere is provided a water heating apparatus comprised of a tank adapted to hold a body of water, a combustion chamber within sclid ~ank, a barricr ob~tructing a major portion of the cross-sectional area of the combustion chamber dividing tlle combustion chamber into a closed portïon and an open portion, a flue tube passing through the tank and communicating with the closed portion of the com-bustion chamber, and a burner in the combustion chamber open portion. The barrier in this position causes turbulence in the flame and hot gas flow resulting in an improved heat transfer to tl-e w~ll of the cllamber.
Further in accordance with the invention, the flue tube extends into the combustion chamber to Eorm the barrier dividing the combustion chamber into an open portion and a closed portion, the ~lue tube having an opening aclmitting gases from the closed portion of the combustion chamber only. The gases must then flow around the flue tube before being exhausted.
Further in accordance with the invention, the bottom of the flue tube is closed and the flue opening is disposed a distance above the bottom whereby the flue tube vertical wall surrounds the closed bottom forming a cup-like receptacle at the flue bottom. Such a receptacle collects the water vapor of combustion as it condenses, cooling the gases of combustion and ultimately enabling it to be boiled away.
It is the principal object of the invention to provide a high efficiency gas water heater producing a low level of oxides of nitrogen in i~s exhaust.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a high efficiency gas water heater which is , lZ52~78 MI-7138 ine~pensive to manufacture.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a high efficiency gas water heater not requiring auxiliary means to dispose of condensate produced in the combustion process.
The invention may take physical form in cer~ain parts and arrangements of parts, a preferred embodiment of which will be described in detail in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof.
Brief description of the drawings_ FIGURE 1 is a side elevation of a water heater illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention with a portion of the water heater cut away and the insulation re~oved;
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the combustion chamber; and, FIGURE 3 is a section taken along line 3-3 of FIGURE 2 showing the combustion chamber looking from the closed end, Description of the preferred embodiment Referrin~ now to the drawings, wherein the showings are for the purposes of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the i~vention only and not for the purposes of limiting same, the Figures show a conven~ional water containing tank ~ having a water inlet 12, a water outlet 13, a pressure relief valve 14 and a drain 15, all in conventional configuration, a combustion chamber C in the lower portion of the tank, and a flue tube F
extending ver~ically from inside the chamber C to and out of the ~op of the tank A.
Tank A forms no part of ~he present invention ~; and may take any one of a number of different shapes.
--5_ .
In the embodiment shown, it comprises a steel cylinder 11 closed at both ends and having a vertical axis. In the completed state, the tank also has a layer of insulation completely surrounding it and a metal envelope protecting S this insulation in a conventional manner. Neither of these elements is shown in the drawings for the purposes of clarity.
The combustion chamber C is generally in the form of a steel tube 22 horizontally disposed within and along a diameter of tank A close to but spaced from the bottom thereof. Tube 22 is preferably of length to extend substantially across the tank with its inner end closed by a domed closur~ ?lat~ 2~ welded thereto.
' ` While the individual exact measurements may var~, in the preferred embodiment, tube 22 is approximately 14 3/4" long for a 16" diameter, 40 gallon nominal capacity wa~er heater and a 16 3/4" long for an 18"
diameter, S0 gallon nominal capacity water heater. As shown, tube 22 extends 5 1/2" beyond the central axis oE
tank A in a 40 gallon water heater and 6 1/2" beyond the central axis of tank A in a 50 gallon heater. Tube 22 also extends 1 1/4" out to the side of tank A where it ends in a circular access opening 33.
Flue tube F is in the form of an elon~ated ~our inch diameter tube 25 which passes vertically through tank A along its central axis from a point above the top to a point substantially inside of and in the middle of combustion chamber C where it creates a barrier dividing the combustion chamber C into a closed portion 31 and an open portion 32. F'lue tube 25 also has on the inside along its length a conventional baffle Sl wilich causes turbulence in the 'not gases flowing up the flue tube and also hel~s to conduct heat from these tlOt gases to the inner walls of the ~lue tu~e alld thus to the water~ in tank A.
-6- , Closed portion 31 of the combustion chamber is bounded by the lower portion 24 of flue tube 25 and closure plate ~23. Open portion 32 is bounded by the lower portion 24 of flue tube 25 and combustion chamber access opening 33.
Lateral open areas 26, 27 and bottom open area 28 around the sides and ~ot~om~of th~ lower portion 24 of flue tube 25 remain avai~able for the passage of gases. However, -at its widest point, the lower portion 24 of flue tube 25 occupies more than one-half of the cross-sectional area of combustion chamber C. ~he lower portion 24 o~ flue tube 25 is closed by pl~te 44 and has an inlet opening 43, importantly, facing the closed portion 31 of chamber C. Also importantly, the lower edge of opening 43 is spaced above plate 44 to form a cup 46 which catches and holds any water condensing in 1~ the flue tube 25 as the hot gases pass therethrough.
Opening 43 may take a number of shapes and dimensions but is preferably square with its width dimension preferably selected to be one-third the circumference of flue 25. In the embodiment shown, op~ning 43 is three and one-half inches high, approximately four and one-fifth inches wide and has rounded corners.
Pipe 36 provides gas to a conventional thermostatic control 37 using a conventional water temperature sensing element 38 to control gas flow to burner 39.
Burner 39 is an in-shot type burner located in the open portion 32 oE combustion chamber C. Burner 39 projects a large flame into the open portion of combustion chamber C which is shaped by deflection ?late 41 to bathe the walls of combustion chamber C, heating the combustion chamber and the water surrounding it. Such burners are commerically available from sources 5uch as White Rogers 'and Jade Controls, Access opening 33 is conventionally closed by sheet metal closure 42 and insulated in the conventional manner.
- The flame from burner 39 is obstructed by the lowPr ., i25~7~

portion 24 of flue tube 25 and passes there around through lateral open areas 26, 27 and bottom open area 28 into the ' closed portion,31 ~f combustion chamber. The flame thus - ~ flows th~ough passages having the large cross-sectional `5 area of the open portion 32, then through a space having - a re$t~icted ~cross-sectional area around flue tube 25 and into -the spacè having a large cross-sectional area of the closed porti~n 31. The products of combustion enter flue tube 25 - ~ ~ through rectangular flue opening 43 communicating with 1~0 combustion(chamber closed portion 31 and are exhausted through flue tube 25.
The 10w of the flame produced by burner 39 through - the obstructed combustion chamber C causes turbulent ` combùstion. This turbulent combustion is believed to reduce production of o~ides of nitrogen.
` This~turbulence also causes the gases of combustion to repeatedly contact the ~alls of chamber C which results in good heat tr~nsfer to the water while at the same tîme he~ping to limit the maximum temperature of the gases.
As the products of combustion go up flue tube 25, heat is extracted from them by the relatively cool surfaces of the flue-tube wall and baffle 51 and transferred to the water in tank A. Water vapor contained in the products of combustion condenses on these surfaces, transferring th~ latent heat of v~porization to them and thus to the water in tank A. The condensed water flows down flue tube 25 into receptable 46. The water cools the lower portion 24 of flue tube 25 and is evaporated by the heat of combustion.
It is believed that the lower portion 24 of flue tube 25 projecting into the eombus~ion chamber C
reduces formation of oxides of nitrogen through a number of mechanisms. As previously discussed, the obstruction formed by the lower portion 24 of flue tube 25 induces , , 5Z~
turbulence in the combustion~pattern. This turbulence is believed to reduce formation of oxides of nitrogen directly.
~ In ~addition,to the direc~ effects of this turbulence, S ~ the turbul'ence provi'des more contact of the combustion, 'gases`with the walls of the combustion chamber, cooling the f~lame ànd the products of,combustion. A lower combùstion temperature reduces production of oxides , ~ ,of~nitrogen. 'l ~ 10, '~ ' I Also,, the condensed water co'l'lecting in the cup-like receptàcle 46 cools the surface of ~he lower - portion 24 of flue tube 25 in chamber C presenting additional cooled surfaces in the combustion c~amber C thereby Eurther lowering combustion temperatures 15-' - and reducing production of oxides of nitrogen.
- The invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding of this specification'. It is intended to include al,l such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.
