Abrégé

A premixing device provided with a butterfly valve 62 driven by a stepping motor 621 in an air supply passage 6 includes a detection means 9 composed of a magnet 91, a magnetic switch 92, and a magnetic shielding plate 93 rotating together with the butterfly valve, the premixing device being configured so that when the butterfly valve enters a rotation range between an open position and a predetermined state close thereto, the magnetic switch is turned on. Even if a malfunction occurs in which the butterfly valve is locked within the rotation range where the magnetic switch is turned off just before the butterfly valve reaches a closed position, this malfunction can be detected. The butterfly valve 62 is rotated from the close position to the open position to ascertain the number of steps of the stepping motor 621 when the magnetic switch 92 is switched from off to on. If the number of steps is deviated by a predetermined value or more from the reference number of steps required for rotating the butterfly valve 62 from the close position to the predetermined position, it is determined that an abnormality is present.

Abrégé

By detecting the potential of a housing of an electrical device before and after a voltage for detection is applied to the housing, it is determined whether or not the potential of the housing increases by applying the voltage for detection. If the potential of the housing increases by applying the voltage for detection, it is determined that a ground fault, in which a ground wire is in conduction with the housing, is not occurring. Conversely, if the potential of the housing does not increase when the voltage for detection is applied, it is determined that a ground fault is occurring. Thus, the presence or absence of a ground fault in an electrical device can be easily detected.

A connected combustion system detects a failure in any of combustors connected in the system and each including a burner with its combustion state used for feedback. Each combustor includes a combustion sensor that detects the combustion state in the burner, and a detection value is used for feedback. When the detection value deviates from a predetermined normal range, at least one of a fuel gas supply or an air supply is corrected to cause the detection value to be within the normal range. The combustion state in the burner is thus adjusted. When the combustion sensor in any of the combustors has a detection value deviating from the normal range and the combustion sensor in another combustor operating simultaneously with the above combustor has a detection value within the normal range, the combustor having the detection value deviating from the normal range is determined to have a failure.

Abrégé

In a combustion device provided with a solenoid opening/closing valve provided on a gas supply passage for a burner and a proportional valve with a governor function on the downstream side of the solenoid opening/closing valve, there is a risk in ignition in that if the opening of the solenoid opening/closing valve is delayed due to the adherence of the valve body to the valve seat and a solenoid of the proportional valve is energized in a condition in which the gas pressure in a first pressure chamber of the proportional valve is zero, the proportional valve would open at the maximum opening degree and explosion ignition could occur; the present invention prevents this. When igniting a burner, first the control of making the solenoid opening/closing valve open is performed (STEP3) and subsequently the control of energizing the solenoid of the proportional valve so as to make the opening degree of the proportional valve to be a predetermined ignition opening degree is performed (STEP5).

Abrégé

A hot water circulation system comprises a water heater having a cold-water inlet and a hot water outlet. A water pump circulates water through the water heater to produce hot water. The hot water is circulated to a thermal bypass valve, which is configured to close when hot water contacts a heat activated seal. A bypass circuit is coupled between the hot water outlet and the cold water inlet of the water heater. The bypass circuit prevents hot water from circulating from the hot water outlet to the cold-water inlet when the thermal bypass valve is open and promotes circulating hot water from the hot water outlet to the cold water inlet when the thermal bypass valve is closed. Upon a temperature sensor sensing hot water entering the cold-water inlet, the water heater turns of the water pump.

Abrégé

A vent attachment facilitates attaching a coaxial air intake and exhaust vent of a tankless water heater to a Category I vent, such as B-vent. The vent attachment comprises a first end with a coaxial connector comprising a central exhaust pathway and a circumferential air intake pathway. The vent attachment also comprises a second end with a tubular exhaust vent connector in fluid communication with the central exhaust pathway. The vent attachment further comprises a frame that encloses the central exhaust pathway and comprises a mesh configured to provide fluid communication through the frame with the air intake pathway. Additionally, operation of the tankless water heater is modified to ensure that the exhaust generated is suitable for venting through a Category I vent. The tankless water heater maintains a high fuel consumption rate such that the temperature of hot water produced increases throughout each of a plurality of burner stages.

Abrégé

A water heater system includes a controller configured to integrate control of both recovery and recirculation operations of a recovery pump and a recirculation pump. As such, a separate device, installation location, and power source (e.g., available outlet) is not needed with the controller. Because a single controller is configured to control both recovery and recirculation operations, additional control functions are available. The controller may be in communication with an internal controller of the water heater and configured to receive an error notification upon abnormal operation of the water heater. The controller can stop recovery and recirculation operations in response to an error notification, unlike with traditional water heating systems which may otherwise continue to function. The recovery and recirculation operations are based on a setpoint temperature of the water heater such that changes made to the setpoint temperature will automatically adjust in the recovery and recirculation operations.

Abrégé

A premixing apparatus has a butterfly valve provided in an air supply passage, a zero governor and a variable throttle valve interposed in a gas supply passage. A control is performed to switch a combustion capacity between at least two stages of a large-capacity stage and a small-capacity stage through change in opening degrees of the butterfly valve and the variable throttle valve. At the small-capacity time, in case the opening degree of the variable throttle valve, when regulated so that the λ becomes a predetermined value, has been changed more to the small-opening-degree side than the predetermined small-capacity opening degree, in a state in which the opening degree of the variable throttle valve has been returned to the predetermined small-capacity opening degree, the opening degree of the butterfly valve is regulated such that the λ becomes the predetermined value, and the small-capacity opening degree of the butterfly valve is renewed to the predetermined value when the λ becomes the predetermined value.
