Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for heating fluids which includes a combustion chamber (20) in which the head (21c) of the burner with the burner openings (39) for the flames is juxtaposed with a wall (21a, 21b) of the chamber itself separating this latter from the lower portion of the apparatus; in the event of flammable substances being present in the environment surrounding the apparatus, these can enter the combustion chamber only through the openings (39) and the similar slots (50) formed in the wall (21a, 21b). This enables the ignition element (25) to ignite these substances as soon as they enter the chamber (20), thus preventing the formation of unwanted explosive or flammable mixtures in the chamber (20) and thereby contributing to the safety of the apparatus.
