[0027] see figure 1 , the present invention provides a water heater with a power generation system, the water heater is a gas water heater, including a body 1, a burner (fire row) 2 and a heat exchanger 3. The body 1 is a hollow shell, and the burner 2 and the heat exchanger 3 are arranged inside the body 1 . The positions of the burner 2 and the heat exchanger 3 are not limited and can be changed according to needs. In this embodiment, the burner 2 and the heat exchanger 3 are sequentially arranged inside the machine body 1 from bottom to top. The burner 2 can be connected with a gas pipeline 4 , and one end of the gas pipeline 4 can be connected to a gas (gas) source for delivering gas to the burner 2 . A first solenoid valve 41 and a second solenoid valve 42 can be provided on the gas pipeline 4 to control the on-off and flow of gas. When the burner 2 is ignited, the burner 2 can generate high-temperature combustion gas, which is pushed upwards, and the combustion gas con...

[0042] see figure 1 , figure 2 and Figure 5 , the present invention additionally provides a water heater power generation method, comprising the steps of:

[0043] First, a water heater with a power generation system is provided; since the water heater is the same as the above-mentioned embodiment, it will not be described in detail;

[0044] Then, start the water heater, so that the cold water can be heated into hot water by the water heater; when the burner 2 is ignited, the burner 2 can generate high-temperature combustion gas, which is pushed upward, and the combustion gas contacts the heat exchanger 3. The heat exchanger 3 is heated to a high temperature for heat exchange operation, whereby the water flowing through the heat exchanger 3 can be heated from normal temperature to a high temperature, and then the hot water can be discharged for use; as well as

[0045] When the heat exchanger 3 is heated, the high temperature is conducted to the hot junction 711 of the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a water heater having a power generation system. A thermoelectric conversion module and a heat conductive device are arranged in the water heater; the thermoelectric conversion module has a thermoelectric conversion chip; the thermoelectric conversion chip has a heat connection point and a cold connection point; one end of the heat conductive device is connected to a heat exchanger of the water heater in a heat conductive manner, and the other end of the heat conductive device is connected to the heat connection point of the thermoelectric conversion chip in a heat conductive manner; the cold connection point of the thermoelectric conversion chip is connected to a cold water joint conductor arranged on a cold water pipeline in a heat conductive manner; and when the water heater burns, a surface of the heat exchanger generates a high temperature, the high temperature is conducted to the heat connection joint of the thermoelectric conversion chip through the heat conductive device, a potential difference is generated between the heat connection point and the cold connection point of the thermoelectric conversion chip, and the voltage is transmitted to a power storage module and an igniter through wires. The water heater can acquire electric power through the thermoelectric conversion module, and does not have to change battery for long time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water heater with a power generation system and a water heater power generation method, in particular to a gas water heater and a power generation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Water heaters are an indispensable device for general household life. In terms of energy used, they can be roughly divided into gas water heaters, electric water heaters, and solar water heaters. Among them, gas water heaters are widely used by the general public. [0003] The existing gas water heater is provided with a burner and a heat exchanger inside the body, and the heat exchanger is connected with a cold water pipeline and a hot water pipeline, and the heat exchanger, the cold water pipeline and the hot water pipeline can form a water circuit. One end of the cold water pipeline has a cold water inlet, which can be connected to an appropriate water source for inputting cold water to be heated. One end of the hot water pipeline h...
