There is disclosed a combustion control circuit of a combustion apparatus with a driving signal generator, an exhaust fan controller and a gas valve controller, including: a combustion state detector for detecting the state of combustion occurring within a combustion chamber according to an output signal of a flame sensor installed in the combustion chamber, and for producing a signal corresponding to the state of combustion; a reference signal generator for producing a reference signal in response to each output signal of a temperature sensor and a flow sensor; a comparator for comparing the output signal of the combustion state detector with the output signal of the reference signal generator, and for outputting a signal corresponding to a difference therebetween; and an adder for adding the output signal of the comparator to the output signal of the driving signal-generator, and for respectively applying an output to each one of the exhaust fan controller and the gas valve controller.

Combustion control circuit of combustion apparatus

There is disclosed a combustion-state detecting circuit of a combustion apparatus installed in a combustion chamber, including: a flame detector that has a heat-emitting device for emitting heat on application of an alternating current signal, and produces a potential difference between the current applied to the heat-emitting device and flame-electric current produced by ignition occurring within the combustion chamber; a rectifier that changes the alternating current signal provided by the flame detector into a direct current signal; an inversion amplifier that inverts the direct current signal produced by the rectifier with respect to a reference signal and increases the magnitude of the inverted signal; and a flame discriminator that compares the output signal of the inversion amplifier with a flame discriminating reference signal to determine if ignition occurs.

Combustion-state detecting circuit of combustion apparatus

A heat exchanger is disclosed including an annular lower manifold to which a cold-water intake through which cold water comes is connected; an annular upper manifold to which a hot-water exit through which hot water is discharged is connected; a plurality of coil-shaped heat exchange tubes connected between the lower and upper manifolds; an inner liner for embracing the plurality of coil-shaped heat exchange tubes on the inner surface thereof; and an outer liner for embracing the plurality of coil-shaped heat exchange tubes on the outer surface thereof, the inner and outer liners forming a path of burned gas.

Heat exchanger

A gas quick water heater is disclosed which includes a heat exchanger having an annular lower manifold with a cold-water intake, an annular upper manifold with a hot-water exit, a plurality of coil-shaped heat exchanging tubes connected between the manifolds, and a baffle plate installed in the center of the heat exchanging tubes and for delaying the flow of heated air; an inner liner for closely embracing the inner surface of the heat exchanging tubes of the heat exchanger; an outer liner designed higher than the inner liner in height and for closely embracing the outer surface of the heat exchanging tubes; a lower plate for closing a lower portion between the inner and outer liners and having an air intake at the center; a swirl plate having a plurality of air intakes at the periphery and a gas hole at the center portion; a combustion barrel having a plurality of air intakes on the overall surface; an insulation member in which the top surface is closed and the lower surface is opened to form an annular air intake; and an exhaust fan for discharging burned gas through the opening of the outer liner and the exhaust port of the barrier.
