Balanced gas water heaters are the safest gas water heaters available today. Compared with direct-exhaust and forced-exhaust water heaters, the biggest difference of the balanced gas water heater is that it can form a sealed system isolated from the indoor air together with the supporting flue, that is, it does not consume indoor air and does not cause smoke. air pollution. The oxygen needed for the combustion of the balanced gas water heater is absorbed from the outside, and the exhaust gas produced is also discharged outside, so that the oxygen in the room will not be consumed and the indoor oxygen deficiency will not be caused. Therefore, the balanced gas water heater can be installed in the bathroom or in the bathroom.

1. Reasonable structure: the shell of the balanced gas water heater is airtight, and the flue integrated with the shell is made of inner and outer layers. The flue leads from the wall to the outside, and the oxygen required for combustion is provided by the outer layer Inhaled, the exhaust gas produced after combustion is discharged from the inner layer of the flue to the outside. It neither consumes indoor oxygen nor pollutes the indoor air.

2. Excellent performance: the balanced gas water heater heats up quickly, has a large air volume, and has less scaling.

3. Small space occupation: The flue of the balanced gas water heater is discharged through the wall through the double-layer flue, so it occupies a small space and basically does not affect the aesthetics of the interior.

1. Balanced gas water heaters are strictly prohibited to be installed in bathrooms, bedrooms, basements, living rooms, and cabinets. And the installation place cannot store flammable, explosive, and corrosive gas-prone items. Balanced gas water heaters shall not be installed in rooms without air supply and exhaust conditions.

The installation of balanced gas water heaters must be based on the performance characteristics of the water heater, and the exhaust pipes and exhaust holes (tubes) that meet the requirements must be installed. The installation space of the gas water heater must maintain convection ventilation with the outside. There shall be no open wires or electrical equipment above the installation position of the water heater, and gas stoves such as gas ovens and gas stoves shall not be installed below. The water inlet and air inlet valves must be installed separately for the water heater, and the switches are convenient. The installation height of the water heater should be easy to observe.

3. The balanced gas water heater should be installed on a strong and flame-resistant wall, and the hooks are firm and reliable. After installation, ensure that the body is vertical and must not be tilted. The connecting parts at both ends of the air pipe must be fixed by pipe clips to prevent falling off, and the connecting air pipe should not be close to the top of the gas appliance to prevent ignition accidents caused by heat radiation.

4. There should be no open wires, electrical equipment, or gas pipelines above the installation position of the balanced gas water heater, and no gas appliances such as gas ovens and gas stoves should be installed below. The installation part of the water heater should be made of non-combustible materials. If the installation part is made of combustible or non-combustible materials, heat-proof boards should be used for heat insulation. The distance between the heat-proof board and the wall should be greater than 10mm.
