Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0337923A2] A water heater with a downward burner (1) assigned to a combustion chamber (2) comprises at least one heat exchanger arranged in the waste gas guide (3). In order to prevent overheating of the heat exchanger elements lying closer to the burner (1), these elements are designed and/or arranged with a lower heat absorption capacity than the elements lying further from the burner (1). To this end, the heat exchanger elements lying closer to the burner (1) can be formed for example from pipe trains (4) with a smooth surface and the pipe trains (6 or 10) lying further from the burner (1) with ribs (5 or 11). Moreover, there can be arranged in the region of the heat exchanger elements (4 or 6) facing the burner (1) rods (7) consisting of ceramic material which deflect and absorb radiation heat. <IMAGE>
