Hot water system with atmospheric gas burner

Abstract From the Canadian patent

An improved hot water system using an atmospheric gas burner is provided. The system includes a pressure vessel for storing hot water to provide a ready supply of hot water for an end user. It also includes a heat exchanger comprising a tubular coil in communication with the pressure vessel and a fresh, cold water source. Water flows from the pressure vessel or the fresh water source to the heat exchanger and, after heating flows, back into the bottom of the vessel. An atmospheric gas burner mounted proximate the pressure vessel extends into the bottom of the central opening of the heat exchanger coil to heat the water as it passes through the heat exchanger. Finally, the hot water system …
