Energie-Wandlers alle Teile zum Vermischen und Verbrennen des Brennstoffes,
insbesondere also auch den Brenner, in einer Baueinheit, die in dem Speichergehäuse
15 unterhalb des Brauchwasserbehälters 10 eingebaut ist.A
Von der Kammer 14 geht ein rohrförmiger Wärmeübertrager 16 aus, der als Rohr
mit Außenrippen ausgebildet und vertikal durch den Brauchwasserbehälter 10
geführt ist. Über dem Deckenbereich des Brauchwasserbehälters 10 mündet der
Wärmeübertrager 16 in einem Abgasauslass 17 für das Abgas 18. Der Baueinheit
des Energie-Wandlers 20 wird der umzusetzende Brennstoff 21 zugeführt
und die erzeugte elektrische Energie 22 wird nicht nur zur Versorgung eigener
elektrischer Einrichtungen des Warmwasserspeichers, sondern auch externen
Verbrauchern und/oder dem öffentlichen Stromnetz zugeführt.A tubular heat exchanger 16, which acts as a tube, extends from the chamber 14
formed with outer ribs and vertically through the
