  • Publication number: 20250129731
    Abstract: The present utility model provides a gas exhausting device and a gas water heater, relating to the technical field of gas exhausting equipment. The gas exhausting device comprises an exhaust structure and a buffer structure, and gas in an exhaust channel is dischargeable from an exhaust port; the exhaust structure is further provided with a communication port located upstream of the exhaust port in a discharging flow direction of the gas; the buffer structure is used for forming a buffer cavity in communication with the exhaust channel through the communication port. In the present utility model, the buffer cavity of the buffer structure can weaken the vibration frequency and intensity of the waste gas to prevent transmission of the vibration of the waste gas to the exhaust structure to cause the problem of screech resonance, thereby improving the user's use experience.

  • Patent number: 11852377
    Abstract: A water heater includes an outer casing defining a longitudinal axis, an axial direction being defined as extending along the longitudinal axis. The water heater further includes a combustor for production of hot flue gases, a primary heat exchanger including a tube positioned within the outer casing, and a secondary heat exchanger including a plurality of plates coupled together by brazing to form a brazed plate heat exchanger. The secondary heat exchanger includes a first set of passages defined between the plates, and a second set of passages defined between the plates and alternating with the first set of passages in the axial direction. The primary and secondary heat exchangers are in fluid communication such that the flue gases flow through the second set of passages before being exhausted, and water to be heated flows through the first set of passages to a delivery point for use upon demand.

  • Patent number: 11761677
    Abstract: A water heater includes an inner water tube coil and an outer water tube coil separated by a drum baffle. The inner and outer coils extend above a top edge of the drum baffle by at least a full turn of each coil. A flue gas bypass path is defined between a top edge of the drum baffle and a top insulation layer above the inner and outer coils. Flue gases flow radially though the inner coil, up along the drum baffle, through the flue gas bypass path, and downwardly over the outer coil to heat water flowing through the inner and outer coils. The water flows into the outer coil at the bottom of the coil, winds upwardly through the outer coil in countercurrent flow with respect to the flue gases, then down through the inner coil.

  • Patent number: 11714244
    Abstract: Disclosed are an optical assembly and a manufacturing method therefor. The optical assembly comprises a laser component (2) and a crystal (1). The crystal (1) is disposed on the laser component (2). The laser component (2) is used to produce a laser beam. The crystal (1) is used to split the laser beam incident onto the crystal (1) so as to generate a first beam (15) and a second beam (16). The first beam (15) is used for front light emission and the second beam (16) is used for backlight monitoring. The optical assembly can split a laser beam to achieve the backlight monitoring function without adding a splitter film. It has good stability in light splitting and reduces the risk of failure in an optical device.

  • Publication number: 20020012912
    Abstract: A method to screen parallel combinatorial libraries for chiral selectors, for instance, a parallel library screening procedure demonstrating the chiral resolution of racemic analyte such as racemic (1-naphthyl)leucine ester. The method involves synthesis of potential chiral selectors on polymeric synthesis resins and the rapid screening of selectors directly on the resins with batch incubation, followed by circular dichroism measurement. The method does not require pre-immobilization of the analyte. The identified chiral selector is then attached onto a support and employed to resolve the racemic analyte into its R-enantiomer and S-enantiomer.
