Its main function is to heat the pipeline through which water flows to provide the hot water required for daily household bathing or washing, etc. A gas water heater refers to a gas appliance that uses gas as fuel and transfers heat to the cold water flowing through the heat exchanger by means of combustion heating to achieve the purpose of preparing hot water.

[0003] A water heater is usually provided with a condensing heat exchanger. Cold water is introduced into the condensing coil in the condensing heat exchanger, and heat exchange is carried out between the cold water and the hot gas to realize the heating of the cold water.

[0004] However, in the related water heater technology, the heated flue gas enters the cavity and exchanges heat with the surface of part of the condensing coil, and finally discharges from the top exhaust port. The condensing coil arranged in the cavity of the condensing heat exchanger is disorderly coiled, which is easy to generate eddy currents and excite noise. Moreover, only a small amount of flue gas flows through part of the condensing coil, resulting in a reduction in the effective heat exchange area and low heat exchange efficiency.

The terms used in the description in this article are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used in this article includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0039] The following Figures 1 to 4 will describe the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with

[0040] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a condensing heat exchanger, which includes a condensing coil 100, an outer cylinder 200 and an inner cylinder 300.

[0041] Among them, the condensing coil 100 includes a first coil 110 and a second coil 120 connected to each other; cold water can enter from the first coil 110 and flow out from the second coil 120, or enter from the second coil 120 and flow out from the first coil 110, so that the cold water can absorb heat to complete heat exchange.

[0042] The outer cylinder 200 is provided with a receiving cavity 210.

[0043] The inner cylinder 300 is arranged in the receiving cavity 210, dividing the receiving cavity 210 into a first receiving cavity 211 and a second receiving cavity 212. That is to say, the annular space formed by the outer cylinder 200 and the inner cylinder 300 can be the first receiving cavity 211.

[0044] A smoke inlet 220 is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder 200, and a smoke outlet 230 is provided at the top of the outer cylinder 200. The smoke outlet 230 can be connected to the outlet of the water heater fan and the air duct inlet of the swirl condensing chamber to obtain the flue gas at the heating port.

[0045] The first coil 110 is orderly coiled outside the inner cylinder 300 and placed in the first receiving cavity 211, and the second coil 120 is orderly coiled in the second receiving cavity 212. In this embodiment, the orderly coiling may refer to the coil being coiled in a spiral or swirl shape.

[0046] The heated flue gas can enter the first accommodation chamber 211 from the flue gas inlet 220, come into contact with the first coil pipe 110 located in the first accommodation chamber 211, and exchange heat; part of the flue gas can also enter the second accommodation chamber 212, come into contact with the second coil pipe 120 located in the second accommodation chamber 212, and exchange heat again; finally, the flue gas can be discharged from the smoke exhaust port 230.

[0047] It can be understood that for the condensing heat exchanger provided by the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the inner cylinder 300 in the accommodation chamber 210 of the outer cylinder 200, the first accommodation chamber 211 and the second accommodation chamber 212 are formed, and the first coil pipe 110 is orderly coiled in the first accommodation chamber 211, and the second coil pipe 120 is orderly coiled in the second accommodation chamber 212, so that the heated flue gas can enter the first accommodation chamber 211 from the flue gas inlet 220 provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder 200 and come into contact with the first coil pipe 110 to exchange heat, and part of the flue gas can also enter the second accommodation chamber 212 and come into contact with the second coil pipe 120 to exchange heat; since the first coil pipe 110 and the second coil pipe 120 are both orderly coiled in the accommodation chamber 210, the flue gas can be guided, it is difficult to form a reflux dead zone, it is not easy to generate eddy currents and the intensity of the flue gas flow impact on the condensing coil pipe 100 and the wall surface of the accommodation chamber 210 can be weakened, thereby reducing noise; in addition, after the flue gas exchanges heat with the first coil pipe 110, part of the flue gas with residual heat can also enter the second accommodation chamber 212 and come into contact with the second coil pipe 120 to exchange heat, effectively increasing the contact area between the flue gas and the condensing coil pipe 100, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the sliding of the condensed water on the surface of the condensing coil pipe 100, in some embodiments of the present invention, the condensing heat exchanger further includes a water receiving tray 400, the water receiving tray 400 is arranged at the bottom end of the outer cylinder 200, and the water receiving tray 400 and the outer cylinder 200 can be detachably connected. After the heated flue gas comes into contact with the first coil pipe 110 and the second coil pipe 120, the moisture in the flue gas will liquefy into condensed water, and the condensed water can slide down to the water receiving tray 400. After the condensed water slides down, it can increase the contact area between the flue gas and the condensing coil pipe 100, effectively increasing the heat exchange efficiency, reducing the temperature of the flue gas, and also improving the energy-saving performance.

[0049] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, a water outlet 410 is further arranged on the water receiving tray 400, and the condensed water sliding on the water receiving tray 400 can be discharged through the water outlet 410, so as to avoid accumulation in the accommodation chamber 210 and affect the heat exchange effect.

[0050] Of course, in some embodiments of the present invention, a first interface 420 and a second interface 430 are further arranged on the water receiving tray 400.

[0051] The first interface 420 is connected to the end of the first coiled pipe 110, and the second interface 430 is connected to the end of the second coiled pipe 120, facilitating the flow of cold water.

[0052] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inner cylinder 300 and the outer cylinder 200 are coaxially arranged, making the layout of the condensation coiled pipe 100 more reasonable, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0053] Specifically, the first end of the condensation coiled pipe 100 can enter the first accommodation cavity 211 from the first interface 420, spirally wind upward to the top of the outer cylinder 200 and enter the inner cylinder 300, and spirally wind downward in the inner cylinder 300 back to the second interface 430 at the bottom, connecting the first end of the condensation coiled pipe 100 (i.e., the end of the second coiled pipe 120) to the second interface 430, and connecting the second end of the condensation coiled pipe 100 (i.e., the end of the first coiled pipe 110) to the first interface 420; in this way, the first accommodation cavity 211 and the second accommodation cavity 212 are divided into two spiral channels with parallel connection to reduce the flow resistance and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer diameter of the smoke inlet 220 near one end of the outer cylinder 200 is larger than the outer diameter of the smoke inlet 220 far from the outer cylinder 200. When the flue gas enters the accommodation cavity 210 from the smoke inlet 220, it can quickly diffuse to the condensation coiled pipe 100, avoiding heat loss, and thus better improving the heat exchange effect.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the axial coiling distance of the first coiled pipe 110 near the end of the smoke inlet 220 close to the outer cylinder 200 is the largest. Part of the flue gas can flow towards the top of the outer cylinder 200, and the other part of the flue gas can flow towards the bottom of the outer cylinder 200, enabling this other part of the flue gas to enter the second accommodation cavity 212 from the bottom to contact and exchange heat with the second coiled pipe 120, increasing the contact area between the flue gas and the condensation coiled pipe 100, and thus improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the end of the inner cylinder 300 (i.e., at the top of the inner cylinder 300) is correspondingly arranged opposite to the smoke exhaust port 230, enabling the flue gas that has undergone heat exchange with the second coiled pipe 120 to be quickly exhausted, and the flue gas entering from the smoke inlet 220 can also enter the accommodation cavity 210 faster, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Specifically, the inner diameter of the inner cylinder 300 can be the same as the inner diameter of the smoke exhaust port 230.

[0057] Combined Figure 4 , the embodiments of the present invention also provide a water heater, which includes a housing 1, a burner 2, and the condensation heat exchanger provided in the above embodiments.

[0058] Among them, the condensation heat exchanger is arranged at the top inside the housing 1, that is, the outer cylinder 200 can be fixed on the housing 1, and the burner 2 is connected to the condensation heat exchanger. The flue gas heated by the burner 2 can rise and enter the condensation heat exchanger to avoid heat dissipation, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0059] For the water heater provided in this embodiment, since it includes the above-mentioned condensation heat exchanger, it necessarily has all the advantages of this condensation heat exchanger. That is, the flue gas of this water heater can be guided, and it is not easy to generate eddy currents, thereby reducing noise; in addition, after the flue gas contacts and exchanges heat with the first coil 110, part of the flue gas can also enter the second accommodation cavity 212 to contact and exchange heat with the second coil 120, effectively increasing the contact area between the flue gas and the condensation coil 100, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of this water heater.

[0060] Furthermore, in order to prevent the flue gas discharged from the condensation heat exchanger from affecting the indoor environmental conditions and avoid safety accidents such as carbon monoxide poisoning, thereby improving the safety of the water heater, in some embodiments of the present utility model, this water heater further includes an exhaust pipe, the first end of the exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust port 230, and the second end of the exhaust pipe is arranged in the external environment.

Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over" and "on" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a higher horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature being "under", "beneath" and "under" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a lower horizontal height than the second feature.
