Heating device
A heating device has a combustion chamber and a gas flue configured to guide hot exhaust gas generated in the combustion chamber, the flue having an inlet region and an outlet region and is configured connected to the combustion chamber via the inlet region. Heat transfer ribs having a wall thickness are arranged spaced from each other in the gas flue for the heat transfer from hot exhaust gas to the gas flue. The wall thickness of the heat transfer ribs and/or the distances of the heat transfer ribs to one another are optionally configured to be larger on the sides of the inlet region than on the sides of the outlet region.
1. A heating device, comprising:
a combustion chamber;
a gas flue configured to guide hot exhaust gas generated in the combustion chamber, the gas flue having an inlet region and an outlet region and being connected to the combustion chamber via the inlet region; and
heat transfer ribs having a wall thickness and being arranged spaced from each other in the gas flue for the heat transfer from the hot exhaust gas to the gas flue;
wherein the gas flue is configured for exhaust gas to flow therethrough and to be surrounded by water;
wherein on a side of the inlet region, the wall thickness of the heat transfer ribs is configured greater than on a side of the outlet region; and
wherein a wall of the gas flue arranged between the exhaust gas and the water has a wall thickness which is configured smaller than a smallest wall thickness of the heat transfer ribs, and
wherein webs are provided between the heat transfer ribs in a central region of the gas flue with reference to a flow of the hot exhaust gas.
2. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein a flow surface oriented perpendicular to a main flow direction of the exhaust gas in the gas flue is configured larger in the inlet region than in the outlet region.
3. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the wall thickness of each of the heat transfer ribs is configured to become smaller with increasing distance from the combustion chamber.
4. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the distance between the heat transfer ribs is configured to become smaller with increasing distance from the combustion chamber.
5. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein a wall of the gas flue and the heat transfer ribs are configured as separate components, and wherein the heat transfer ribs are configured as support for pressure stabilization of the wall of the gas flue.
6. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein a wall region left free from the heat transfer ribs is provided on the gas flue for contact of the exhaust gas with a wall of the gas flue.
7. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the gas flue and/or the heat transfer ribs is/are formed from a material resistant to penetration from condensate resulting from the exhaust gas.
8. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat transfer ribs are arranged in single-row or multiple-rows and as plurality of S-shapes in the gas flue.
9. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the gas flue has a rectangular cross-sectional area with a length and a width, and wherein the length corresponds to a multiple of the width.
