    摘要: A control system for a water heater generally includes a water heater controller configured to receive upper and lower sensor temperatures associated with water in the respective upper and lower portions of the tank. The water heater controller is configured to determine a value indicative of a portion of water in the tank at a desired set-point temperature as a function of the upper sensor temperature, the lower sensor temperature, and the desired set-point temperature. The water heater controller is configured to wirelessly transmit at least one signal indicative of said value indicative of the portion of water in the tank at the desired set-point temperature. A user interface includes a plurality of selectively illuminated segmented portions. The user interface is configured to receive said value from the water heater controller and to selectively illuminate a number of segmented portions representative of said value.

    摘要: A control for a water heater is provided that comprises a pressure switch for sensing a predetermined level of airflow sufficient for maintaining proper burner operation, and a temperature sensing means for sensing the temperature of the water in the tank. The control further comprises a processor for controlling the operation of the burner to maintain the water temperature above a predetermined value. When the processor receives a signal from the pressure switch or temperature switch indicating a malfunction, the processor shuts down the burner and subsequently attempts to restart the burner. The processor will lock-out further burner operation after a predetermined number of consecutive shut downs occurs, and will communicate any malfunction information to a remote display device.

    摘要: A gas-powered water heater includes means for stepping down a line voltage from a receptacle remote from the tank, means for using the stepped down voltage to provide a low voltage, and means for using the low voltage to sense conditions pertaining to the heater and to control heater operation based on the sensed conditions. Using a plug-in transformer to provide power for microprocessor control makes it unnecessary to install a line voltage line to the heater.

    摘要: An oil burner primary control in an interrupted ignition burner control system includes a regulating circuit for regulating the voltage across a flame-responsive photo-conductive cell. The regulating circuit ensures that, in the event the cell becomes defective so as to exhibit abnormal resistance characteristics, the system will not permit fuel to flow unless a burner flame exists or unless the igniter and a safety circuit are energized.

    摘要: A timer controlled space thermostat includes a battery operated timer and charging circuit means for continuously charging the battery. The charging circuit means includes a miniature transformer having two primary windings and one secondary winding wound on a single core. When a thermostat switch therein is closed to effect energizing of space conditioning apparatus, one of the primary windings induces a stepped-up voltage and stepped-down current in the secondary winding to effect charging the battery. When the thermostat switch is open, the other primary winding induces a stepped-down voltage and stepped-up current in the secondary winding to effect charging the battery.

    摘要: A bobbin wound electrical coil assembly wherein external leads connected to the coil ends are secured in the flanges of the bobbin. Connector terminals connecting external lead ends and coil ends are fixed in sockets formed in one bobbin flange to preclude pulling stress on the coil end connections, and slots in the periphery of the other bobbin flange receive portions of the external leads spaced from their connected ends. A snap-on insulating cover having tabs which engage holes in the flanges of the bobbin extends between the bobbin flanges and over the external leads to cover the connections and to retain the external lead portions in the slots in the bobbin flange.
