[0002] A gas-fired water heater is a gas appliance that uses gas as fuel to heat water by transferring heat to cold water flowing through a heat exchanger. Because gas-fired water heaters generate a large amount of flue gas and waste heat energy during operation, waste heat recovery equipment is needed to assist in heat recovery. However, existing waste heat recovery equipment suffers from scale buildup on the heat exchange tubes after prolonged use, significantly reducing the condensation efficiency of the heat exchange tubes and thus lowering the overall efficiency of the waste heat recovery equipment. Therefore, we propose a waste heat recovery device for gas-fired water heaters. Utility Model Content

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model is a waste heat recovery device for a gas-fired hot water boiler, including a base plate 1, a shell 2 on one side of the base plate 1, an air inlet chamber 3 at the upper end of the shell 2, and an air outlet chamber 4 at the bottom of the shell 2. Multiple heat exchange tubes 5 are arranged at equal intervals between the air inlet chamber 3 and the air outlet chamber 4. An air inlet pipe 6 is provided on one side of the air inlet chamber 3, and an air outlet pipe 7 is provided on one side of the air outlet chamber 4. When the gas-fired hot water boiler is working, the flue gas generated can enter the air inlet chamber 3 through the air inlet pipe 6. Through the conduction of the heat exchange tubes 5, the flue gas can enter the air outlet chamber 4 and be discharged through the air outlet pipe 7. As the flue gas passes through the heat exchange tubes 5, the heat inside the flue gas exchanges heat with the water inside the shell 2 through the heat exchange tubes 5, thereby achieving the purpose of recovering waste heat from the flue gas. Both the air inlet pipe 6 and the air outlet pipe 7 extend to the outside of the shell 2. A scraper 8 is sleeved on the outside of the heat exchange tubes 5. A mounting base 9 is provided, which is movably connected to a turntable 10 at its top. A threaded rod 11 is inserted into the middle of the turntable 10, and the turntable 10 and the threaded rod 11 are threadedly connected. The threaded rod 11 is fixedly connected to a scraper 8 at its bottom. When the turntable 10 rotates, it pushes the scraper 8 to move vertically. During the movement of the scraper 8, it can clean the scale adhering to the heat exchange tube 5, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of reduced heat exchange efficiency due to scale adhering to the heat exchange tube 5. A pump body 12 is provided on the side of the base plate 1 away from the shell 2. The input end of the pump body 12 is connected to the shell 2 through a first guide pipe 13, and the output end of the pump body 12 is provided with a second guide pipe 14. When the pump body 12 is working, it draws water after heat exchange inside the shell 2 through the first guide pipe 13, and at the same time, it can discharge the water after heat exchange through the second guide pipe 14.

[0024] The second guide pipe 14 is provided with a first valve 15, which can control the opening and closing of the second guide pipe 14.

[0025] A guide rod 16 is inserted into the middle of the side of the housing 2 away from the mounting base 9. The guide rod 16 is fixedly connected to the scraper 8 below and is movably connected to the housing 2. Through the cooperation between the guide rod 16 and the housing 2, the movement stability of the scraper 8 is effectively improved.

[0026] A drain pipe 17 is provided on one side below the shell 2. The drain pipe 17 is connected to the air outlet chamber 4. A second valve 18 is provided at one end of the drain pipe 17 outside the shell 2. The condensate that appears after the flue gas inside the heat exchange tube 5 exchanges heat with the water can be discharged through the drain pipe 17. The second valve 18 can control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 17.

[0027] The housing 2 is provided with a liquid level display tube 19 on the side away from the air inlet pipe 6, through which the water level inside the housing 2 can be observed.

[0028] The housing 2 is located below the liquid level display tube 19 and has a manhole 20, through which the scale scraped off by the scraper 8 can be cleaned.

[0029] The turntable 10 is provided with anti-slip texture 21 on the outer side. The anti-slip texture 21 effectively increases the friction between the palm and the turntable 10, making it easier for the staff to rotate the turntable 10.

[0030] Specifically, in this utility model, the flue gas generated during the operation of the gas-fired water heater can enter the air inlet chamber 3 through the air inlet pipe 6. Through the conduction of the heat exchange pipe 5, the flue gas can enter the air outlet chamber 4 and be discharged through the air outlet pipe 7. When the flue gas passes through the heat exchange pipe 5, the heat inside the flue gas is exchanged with the water inside the shell 2 through the heat exchange pipe 5, thereby achieving the purpose of recovering the waste heat in the flue gas. When the turntable 10 rotates, the turntable 10 pushes the scraper 8 to move vertically. During the movement of the scraper 8, the scraper 8 can clean the scale attached to the heat exchange pipe 5, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of reduced heat exchange efficiency due to scale buildup in the heat exchange pipe 5. When the pump body 12 is working, the pump body draws the water after heat exchange inside the shell through the first guide pipe, and at the same time, it can discharge the water after heat exchange through the second guide pipe.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
