The item may include a high-voltage battery.

Abstract: A water heater system having a running water inlet through which running water flows in and a hot water outlet through which hot water heated in a heat exchanger is discharged is disclosed. The water heater system may include a first connection pipe connecting a gap between the running water inlet and an entry of the heat exchanger, a second connection pipe connecting a gap between an outlet of the heat exchanger and the hot water outlet; a bypass pipe connecting a gap between the first connection pipe and the second connection pipe, a bypass valve installed to the bypass pipe so as to control the direction of water flowing through the bypass pipe, and a controller, in a hot water usage mode, controlling the bypass valve so that the water moves from the first connection pipe to the second connection pipe through the bypass pipe, and in an inner circulation mode, controlling the bypass valve so that the water moves from the second connection pipe to the first connection pipe through the bypass pipe.

Abstract: A turn down ratio (TDR) damper which controls an amount of gas and air flowing in the TDR damper and deliver the controlled gas and air to a turbo fan is disclosed. The TDR damper includes: air passages comprising a first air passage and a second air passage, the first air passage and the second air passage separately formed so that the air move through each path; gas passages comprising a first gas passage and a second gas passage, the first gas passage and the second gas passage separately formed so that the gas move through each path; and opening and closing means for opening and closing the second air passage and the second gas passage at the same time. The air passages and the gas passages may be separately formed and reached outlets connected to the turbo fan so that the air and gas may be delivered to the turbo fan through a separate path.

Abstract: Provided is a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may include a plurality first through third heat exchange pipes connected between a first side part and a second side part, each of which comprising a path of moving heat-exchanger fluid inside; first blisters formed on the outer side surfaces of the first side part and the second side part, thereby connecting gaps between each neighboring first heat exchange pipe; second blisters formed on the outer side surface of the first side part, thereby connecting the first heat exchange pipes with the second heat exchange pipes or the second heat exchange pipes with the third second heat exchange pipes; and third blisters formed on the outer side surface of the second side part, thereby connecting neighboring second heat exchange pipes or neighboring third heat exchange pipes.

Abstract: A buffer tank for a water heater is provided. The A buffer tank for a water heater may include a storage unit, a first connection pipe, and a second connection pipe. The storage unit has a space for storing water inside, an inlet, to which hot water is flowed from the outside, in the upper part thereof, and an outlet, from which the water stored inside is discharged, in the lower part thereof. The first connection pipe is formed in the inner space of the storage unit, has a tube form, is connected to the inlet, and is extended to a direction of the lower part of the storage unit. The second connection pipe is formed in the inner space of the storage unit, has a tube form, is connected to the outlet, and is extended to a direction of the upper part of the storage unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid-crystalline medium based on a mixture of polar compounds having negative dielectric anisotropy (??), which contains at least one compound selected from the group of compounds of the formula I, IIA and IIB and at least one compound of the formula I* in which R0, R1, R2, R1*, X1, X2, A1, A1*, A2*, Z1, Z2*, L1*, L2*n p, q, v, m and m* are as defined in claim 1, and to the use thereof for an active-matrix display based on the ECB, VA, PS-VA, FFS, PALC or IPS effect.

Abstract: An apparatus for effectively filtering and separating fine floc, algae, suspended solids, etc. remaining in water after biological and physiochemical treatment is provided. The fine filtering apparatus includes flexible fibers that control packing density, thus improving filtration efficiency, the amount of clarified water, and filtering duration, and reducing power consumption compared to a conventional filtering apparatus is provided. In the filtering apparatus, flexible fibers having an effective diameter of 1 to 60 ?m and which are flexible, elastic, and have proper surface roughness extend in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus. A jacket shaped unit for supplying source water (supplied water) has a porous structure. Clarified water (treated water) is discharged through a central porous chamber. The whole filter media layer can be utilized as a particle-entrapping space.
