The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and provides a gas
water heater, which comprises a bottom shell, the bottom shell being provided with an opening; a burner, the burner being installed on the bottom shell; and a cover plate
assembly, the cover plate
assembly being installed on the bottom shell and covering the opening, the cover plate
assembly comprising a first cover plate and a second cover plate, the second cover plate being located between the burner and the first cover plate, the cover plate assembly being provided with an air
inlet channel between the first cover plate and the second cover plate, the first cover plate being provided with a first air inlet opening communicating with the air
inlet channel, and the second cover plate being provided with a second air inlet opening at a position away from the first air inlet opening, the second air inlet opening communicating the air
inlet channel with an air inlet of the burner. The gas
water heater provided by the present application is provided with a multi-layer cover plate structure, each layer of the cover plate can weaken the
internal noise, and the cavity between the cover plates forms a long air inlet channel, which can greatly increase the
path length of the
noise along the air inlet channel to propagate outward, effectively improve the
transmission loss of the
noise to propagate outward, and greatly reduce the flow channel resistance.
