This application discloses a heat exchange component and a gas
water heater. The heat exchange component includes a heat exchange device and a flow regulating device. The heat exchange device is connected to the water inlet, and a first
pipe is provided between the heat exchange device and the water inlet. The flow regulating device is located near the heat exchange device in the first
pipe and is connected to both the heat exchange device and the water inlet. A heating device is connected to both the heat exchange device and the water inlet, and a second
pipe is provided between the heating device and the water inlet. A water
inlet temperature detection device is installed at a preset temperature detection position in the second pipe. By setting up the heat exchange device and the flow regulating device, the flow direction of hot and cold water is guided, achieving sterilization of the outlet water while meeting the user's
water temperature requirements. This improves the reliability of the gas
water heater, reduces the sterilization cost, and solves the safety problem of the outlet water from the gas
water heater.
