Abstract
The present disclosure provides a water storage tank and a gas water heater. The water storage tank includes: a tank body provided with an interface at one end; an adapter provided with a water inlet connector, a water outlet connector, and a waste discharge connector; and a connection pipe installed in the tank body, one end of the connection pipe communicating with the water outlet connector, another end of the connection pipe being spaced apart from an end of the tank body away from the interface.
Claims17
A water storage tank, comprising:
- a tank body provided with an interface at a first end;
- an adapter fixedly connected to the tank body, the adapter being provided with a water inlet connector, a water outlet connector, and a waste discharge connector communicating with the interface;
- and
- a connection pipe installed in the tank body, a first end of the connection pipe communicating with the water outlet connector, a second end of the connection pipe being spaced apart from the first end of the tank body and away from the interface;
- wherein the water storage tank further includes a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor being installed on a second end of the tank body away from the interface;
- wherein a length of a temperature sensing probe of the temperature sensor extending into the tank body is greater than or equal to a gap between the second end of the connection pipe and the second end of the tank body.
