Abstract

A low NO x water heater including a water container; a combustion chamber adjacent the water container having an opening covered with an open flame arrestor; a burner associated with the combustion chamber and arranged to combust fuel to heat water in the water container, the burner including a plenum chamber having a combustion surface and a fuel/air conduit adapted to receive fuel and air and extending between and sealed to the plenum and a wall of the combustion chamber; and a heat resistant acoustic absorber positioned on the wall.

Claims (23)

1. A low NO x water heater comprising:
a water container;

a combustion chamber adjacent the water container having an opening covered with an open flame arrestor;

a burner associated with the combustion chamber and arranged to combust fuel to heat water in the water container, the burner comprising a plenum chamber having a combustion sur-face and a fuel/air conduit adapted to receive fuel and air and extending between and sealed to the plenum and a wall of the combustion chamber; and a heat resistant acoustic absorber positioned on the wall.
2. The water heater defined in claim 1, wherein the wall is substantially vertically oriented and the absorber is adhered to the wall.
3. The water heater defined in claim 2, wherein the absorber extends vertically between a bottom portion of the water container and a bottom portion of the water heater.
4. The water heater defined in claim 1, wherein the absorber is an insulation pad.
5. The water heater defined in claim 1, wherein the absorber comprises fiberglass.
6. The water heater defined in claim 1, further comprising a metallic backing layer applied to the absorber.
7. A low NO x water heater comprising:
a water container;

a combustion chamber adjacent the water container;

a burner associated with the combustion chamber and arranged to combust fuel to heat water in the water container, the burner having a combustion surface and a fuel/air conduit extending from the plenum and adapted to receive fuel; and a fuel nozzle positioned to supply fuel into the fuel/air conduit at an angle that is between about 1.5° and about 2.5° out of horizontal relative to a horizontal plane extending along a cen-tral axis of the fuel/air conduit.
8. The water heater defined in claim 7, wherein the angle is about 2°.
9. The water defined in claim 7, wherein an end portion of the fuel/air conduit extending from the plenum is sealed to a wall portion of the combustion chamber.
10. The water heater defined in claim 9, wherein the wall portion is a door sealed to an opening in the combustion chamber.
11. The water heater defined in claim 7, wherein the fuel/air conduit extends into the plenum a distance of about 3/4 of the length of the plenum.
12. The water heater defined in claim 11, wherein a distal portion of the fuel/air con-duit extending into the plenum is angled at about 45°.
13. A low NO x water heater comprising:
a water container;

a combustion chamber adjacent the water container- having an opening covered with an open flame arrestor;

a burner associated with the combustion chamber and arranged to combust fuel to heat water in the container, the burner having a combustion surface and adapted to receive fuel; and a fuel/air conduit sealed between a wall portion of the combustion chamber and the plenum, wherein an end portion of the conduit adjacent the wall portion is substantially conically shaped.
14. The water heater defined in claim 13, wherein the end portion further comprises a flange connected to the conically shaped portion and the flange is located exteriorly of the wall portion and is sealed to the wall portion.
15. The water defined in claim 13, wherein the wall portion is a door sealed to an opening in the combustion chamber.
16. The water heater defined in claim 13, wherein the fuel/air conduit extends into the plenum a distance of about 3/4 of the length of the plenum.
17. The water heater defined in claim 13, wherein a distal portion of the fuel/air con-duit extending into the plenum is angled at about 45°.
18. A low NO x water heater comprising:
a water container;

a combustion chamber adjacent the water container;

a burner associated with the combustion chamber and arranged to combust fuel to heat water in the water container, the burner comprising a plenum chamber having a combustion sur-face and a fuel/air conduit adapted to receive fuel and air and extending between and sealed to the plenum and a wall of the combustion chamber; and a heat resistant acoustic absorber positioned on the wall.
19. The water heater defined in claim 18, wherein the wall is substantially vertically oriented and the absorber is adhered to the wall.
20. The water heater defined in claim 19, wherein the absorber extends vertically be-tween a bottom portion of the water container and a bottom portion of the water heater.
21. The water heater defined in claim 18, wherein the absorber is an insulation pad.
22. The water heater defined in claim 18, wherein the absorber comprises fiberglass.
23. The water heater defined in claim 18, further comprising a metallic backing layer applied to the absorber.
