Abstract:
A water heater appliance includes a sealed system and an electric heating element. The sealed system and electric heating element are configured for heating water within an interior volume of a tank. A temperature sensor is mounted to the tank. The electric heating element is positioned below the temperature sensor within the interior volume of the tank.
Abstract:
A container for a tank for storing a liquid additive includes a housing having a heater and at least one drivable apparatus for promoting convection in the housing. A motor vehicle includes a tank for storing a liquid additive and an exhaust gas system having a metering or adding device for the liquid additive. A container is inserted into the tank wall and a plurality of functional components is provided in the container for conveying the liquid additive from the tank through the container to the metering or adding device.
Abstract:
A method of managing electrical power storage can include remotely controlling operation of one of a plurality of water heating units included in a single water heater, separately from controlling a remainder of the plurality of the water heating units, at a customer location in response to a remotely transmitted indication.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a modular water heating device, comprising a means to allow a quantity of hot water to be made available in a short time and/or to avoid any risk of hot water shortage, in order to ensure the maximum comfort of the consumer.
Abstract:
An apparatus, system and method for dispensing water at a variety of temperatures and volumes. The apparatus includes at least two tanks having different temperatures, controlled by a controller. A calculated volume of water from tanks having different water temperatures, is dispensed to provide a desired temperature and volume of water. Flow from the tanks is controlled by valves receiving signals from the controller.
Abstract:
A flexible heater or cooler which includes a flexible, conformal, thermally conductive container filled with thermally conductive material. A thermal element within the container or in contact with the outside of the container provides heat to the container or removes heat from the container. The thermal element is powered by a low voltage direct current electrical source. A sensor for determining the temperature of the thermally conductive material is also included. The thermal element, electrical source, and sensor are in communication by connectors with a solid state continuous temperature controller. In operation, the electrical source provides power to the thermal element, thereby heating or cooling the thermally conductive material within the container. The temperature in the container is determined by the sensor and the controller controls the power delivery to the thermal element in response to the setting on the controller and the temperature in the container.

Abstract:
A heat exchanger unit according to the present disclosure includes a combustion chamber in which a flame caused by a combustion reaction is located, a heat exchanger for a condensing boiler, the heat exchanger being located under the combustion chamber and including heat exchange pipes that receive heat generated by the combustion reaction and heat heating-water flowing through the heat exchange pipes and a main case having the heat exchange pipes accommodated in an interior space thereof, and a combustion chamber heat insulation pipe that is disposed adjacent to the combustion chamber and that receives the heating-water and allows the heating-water to flow therethrough to thermally insulate the combustion chamber.
