  • Patent number: 10955137
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a combustion device capable of informing an amount of used gas, in which an air of gas temperature is reflected, to a user and a method of measuring the amount of used gas. To this end, the combustion device includes: a burner configured to burn gas; a blower configured to supply air for combustion to the burner; gas valves configured to supply gas for combustion to the burner; a gas temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of gas supplied to the burner or the blower; and a control unit configured to control the number of revolutions of the blower, calculate a first amount of used gas for a present operating heat quantity burned according to a signal input by a user, and compensate the calculated first amount of used gas with a measured gas temperature measured by the gas temperature sensor to calculate a second amount of used gas.

  • Publication number: 20210055018
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting an unusual condition of a gas appliance, and a water heating device. The method for detecting the unusual condition of the gas appliance equipped with a heat generator including a burner to which gas is supplied as a fuel includes a first step of obtaining a required heating value that the burner has to output to create a predetermined state, a second step of obtaining an indicated heating value corresponding to a control value transmitted to the heat generator for control of the heat generator in the predetermined state, and a third step of determining whether the gas is unusually used, based on the required heating value and the indicated heating value.
