[0054] A gas water heater is a water heater that uses gas as the main energy material and transfers the high-temperature heat generated by gas combustion to cold water flowing through a heat exchanger to prepare hot water.

[0055] A gas water heater generally comprises a shell, and components such as a burner, a heat exchanger, a fan and a fan cover arranged in the shell.

[0056] The gas is transported to the burner and ignited by an ignition device, so that the burner burns the transported gas to generate heat.

[0057] A heat exchange tube is arranged in the heat exchanger, one end of the heat exchange tube is connected to the water supply pipeline, and the other end of the heat exchange tube is connected to a shower head or a faucet.

[0058] The heat generated by the burner burning gas is used to heat the heat exchange tubes, so that the water temperature in the heat exchange tubes is increased to form hot water.

[0059] When the gas water heater is working, cold water provided by the water supply pipeline flows into the heat exchange tube, and then is heated into hot water by the heating source generated by the burner, and then flows out from the shower or faucet through the hot water valve for user use.

[0060] At the same time, when the gas water heater is working, the fan is powered on and runs at the same time. Under the action of the fan, the smoke generated by the burner is discharged to the outside.

[0061] In one aspect, combining Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a stainless steel heat exchanger, which includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes 1 arranged side by side, a plurality of heat exchange fins 2 and two groups of side plate assemblies 3.

[0066] At the same time, the heat exchange tubes 1, the heat exchange fins 2 and the side plate components 3 are all made of stainless steel materials, which are not prone to corrosion and are conducive to reducing the risk of water leakage.

At the same time, the surface area of ​​the heat exchange fins 2 is large. By setting the heat exchange fins 2, the contact area with the high-temperature flue gas is increased, thereby improving the heat exchange effect of the stainless steel heat exchanger.

[0068] Specifically, the flanged hole 21 is a circular flanged hole, is located in the middle of two adjacent heat exchange tubes 1 , and the size of the flanged hole 21 can be adjusted according to the gap size of the heat exchange tubes 1 .

[0069] For example, when the gap between two adjacent heat exchange tubes 1 is 6.6 mm, the outer diameter of the flange hole is 3.6 mm.

[0070] Of course, the number of the flanging holes 21 can be set according to actual conditions.

[0073] At the same time, the heat exchange tubes 1 are arranged in a flat tube form, so that the overall structure of the heat exchange tubes 1 when arranged is relatively compact, which is beneficial to reducing the occupied space of the stainless steel heat exchanger.

[0074] In other embodiments of the present application, the heat exchange tube 1 is an elliptical flat tube.

[0075] It can be understood that the form of the heat exchange tube 1 includes but is not limited to an elliptical flat tube, and other types of flat tubes are also within the protection scope of the present application.

[0080] Specifically, by setting a second flange 33 on the edge of the second hole 31, the second flange 33 is in contact with the heat exchange tube 1, and the second flange 33 increases the contact area between the heat exchange tube 1 and the side plate assembly 3, thereby improving the sealing of the heat exchange tube 1 and the side plate assembly 3; at the same time, it facilitates the installation and matching of the heat exchange tube 1 and the side plate assembly 3.

[0081] In order to improve the sealing performance between the heat exchange tube 1 and the side plate assembly, a sealing gasket may be provided between the heat exchange tube 1 and the second hole 31 and / or the second flange 33 .

[0086] In some other embodiments of the present application, first mounting holes are provided at both ends of the inner plate 34 .

[0087] Specifically, by providing a first mounting hole on the inner plate 34 , it is convenient to connect the inner plate 34 with the upper fan module and the lower combustion chamber module.

[0088] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the side panel assembly 3 further includes an outer side panel 35 .

[0089] The outer plate 35 is arranged on the side of the inner plate 34 away from the heat exchange fins 2 . A water box 32 is arranged on the outer plate 35 . The water box 32 and the outer plate 35 are integrally formed by stamping.
