[0031] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, a layered stainless steel heat exchanger includes a left water guide seat 1, a right water guide seat 2, a top water pipe group 3, a middle water pipe group 4, a bottom water pipe group 5, a top heat exchange fin group 61, a middle heat exchange fin group and a bottom heat exchange fin group 63.

[0034] The top water pipe group 3, the middle water pipe group 4 and the bottom water pipe group 5 are respectively made of stainless steel pipes, and the left water guide seat 1, the right water guide seat 2, the top heat exchange fin group 61, the middle heat exchange fin group and the bottom heat exchange fin group 63 are respectively made of stainless steel plates. For this reason, the name of the utility model is layered stainless steel heat exchanger; stainless steel material has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, but has the disadvantage of poor thermal conductivity compared to copper, and has the problem of thermal hysteresis;

[0035] The water pipes of the top water pipe group 3, the middle water pipe group 4, and the bottom water pipe group 5 are connected in series through the left water guide seat 1 and the right water guide seat 2, respectively. The top water pipe group 3, the middle water pipe group 4, and the bottom water pipe group 5 are connected in series through the left water guide seat 1 and the right water guide seat 2. The top heat exchange fin group 61, the middle heat exchange fin group, and the bottom heat exchange fin group 63 are respectively arranged on the top water pipe group 3, the middle water pipe group 4, and the bottom water pipe group 5. The number of heat exchange fins in the top heat exchange fin group 61, the middle heat exchange fin group, and the bottom heat exchange fin group 63 decreases from top to bottom. Water flows through the top water pipe group 3 and the middle water pipe group 4, and out of the bottom water pipe group 5.

[0036] This utility model reduces the number of heat exchange fins in the top, middle, and bottom heat exchange fin groups 61, 63, and 64 from top to bottom, gradually reducing the heat exchange area. This results in a lower heat exchange efficiency in the lower water pipes compared to the upper ones. When the water heater is paused, the residual heat in the combustion chamber provides less heat to the lower water pipes. Because the lower water pipes are directly connected to the outlet pipe, the temperature rise of the entire unit during water shut-off is reduced, improving the water heater's comfort and resolving the technical issue of thermal lag. The utility model also offers adjustable and reliable functions.

[0037] As a further improvement of the present invention, the areas of the heat exchange fins of the bottom heat exchange fin group 63, the heat exchange fins of the middle heat exchange fin group and the heat exchange fins of the top heat exchange fin group 61 gradually increase from bottom to top.
