Gas Water Heater for Kitchen Boilers

Numerical study of fluid flow and heat transfer in a gas-tank water heater

Influence of a vent hood at the exit of exhaust flue gas and flue baffles in the firetube on the temperature and flow fields of a gas tank water heater, as well as thestructure and amount of heat transferred to the water tank has been studiednumerically using two-dimensional steady state finite element simulation.Observations show that without a vent hood, there is a downward gas flow in theflu...

Modelling of NOx Emissions in Natural Gas Fired Hot Water Boilers

Basic Water Treatment of Steam Boilers

In order to fully understand what a given boiler needs for treatment, a basic study of its supply water must be done first. Three types of impurities exist in all supplies and can cause a wide range of problems in boilers and kilns. These impurities are suspended solids, dissolved solids, and dissolved gasses. Water picks up the impurities from the ground it contacts and the air through which i...

Comparison of Two Gas Coolers in CO2 Heat Pump Water Heater

Model for Aggregated Water Heater Load Using Dynamic Bayesian Networks

The transition to the new generation power grid, or “smart grid”, requires novel ways of using and analyzing data collected from the grid infrastructure. Fundamental functionalities like demand response (DR), that the smart grid needs, rely heavily on the ability of the energy providers and distributors to forecast the load behavior of appliances under different DR strategies. This paper presen...
