  • the gas-heated water heater according to the invention is characterized in that the aforementioned viewing window can be dispensed with by using an electrical operating display for flame detection.
  • an electrical operating display can be implemented with simple means, while the introduction of a viewing window into the housing jacket of the water heater and into the front of the combustion chamber wall means considerably more manufacturing effort.
  • a viewing window for flame detection By dispensing with a viewing window for flame detection, a closed and attractive design can be selected for the device jacket of the water heater that is similar to that of electrical devices.
  • the measures listed in the subclaims further advantageous embodiments of the water heater according to the main claim are possible.
  • the water heater has an ionization flame monitoring system known per se, the operating display according to the invention for flame detection being switched as a function of the ionization current signal.
  • the electrical operating indicator lights up, e.g. an LED display, green on, so that the user is informed that the gas-heated water heater is operating correctly.
  • the electrical operating display for flame detection is advantageously integrated in a module that, in addition to the operating display, includes a charge status display for batteries which are responsible for the power supply and an on and off switch for the power supply.

  • the gas-heated water heater has a control unit 66 which is connected to the electrical components, including for its own voltage supply, to the battery box 26 via corresponding control or supply lines.
  • the operating display for flame detection works in the following way:
  • the operational readiness of the gas-heated water heater is established in that the control unit 66 is supplied with voltage via the slide switch 24.

  • Control unit 66 opens the first gas valve 44 in the gas fitting 42, which is closed when de-energized.
  • the first main gas valve 54 is closed while the gas valve 52 is open, so that gas from the gas line 40 passes through the bypass line 56 into the pilot gas pipe 46 and flows to the pilot burner 48, where it is ignited with the aid of the ignition electrode 62.
  • the ionization flame monitoring electrode 64 reports the ignition to the control device 66, which now closes the gas valve 52.
  • the gas in the pilot gas tube 46 burns out, as a result of which the pressure in the right-hand chamber half of the gas fitting 42 drops.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un chauffe-eau à gaz, notamment un chauffe-eau instantané, comprenant un dispositif d'alimentation en gaz (40, 42, 58, 60), un brûleur (16) et un dispositif d'allumage (48, 62) pour le mélange gaz combustible-air, ainsi qu'un dispositif d'alimentation électrique (26) et des moyens permettant de contrôler la présence d'une flamme. Selon l'invention, le processus de combustion peut être reconnu au moyen d'un indicateur de fonctionnement électrique (20), qui permet ainsi à l'utilisateur de distinguer de façon simple la présence d'une flamme.
