Abstract: A bearing component of a flow sensor of a domestic appliance has a rotary axle which, in the installed state, is oriented so as to be substantially perpendicular to a flow direction of a fluid channel of the domestic appliance. The flow sensor has a first bearing at each of the opposing ends of the rotary axle, two opposing second bearings being contained in the bearing component. The two second bearings are spaced apart from one another in such a way that, in one state of the bearing component, they are engaged with the first bearings of the flow sensor, at least one arm of the bearing component being elastic, so that a distance between the second bearings can be increased in order to insert the flow sensor between the second bearings.

Abstract: A power electronics assembly of a domestic appliance includes a first relay controlling an electrical contact between a first current-carrying conductor and an electric consumer. The assembly further includes a semiconductor switching element that switches the electrical contact between the first current-carrying conductor and the electric consumer and is arranged in parallel with the first relay. A controller is programmed to activate the semiconductor switching element to switch on the electrical consumer before the first relay is closed.

Abstract: A tank water heater assembly is provided including a tank water heater and a drain pan provided with a sensor holder for mounting a sensor. The sensor holder accommodates a leak detection sensor at predefined distance above an inner surface of a bottom wall of the drain pan. In this way the presence of harmless small amounts of water in the drain pan do not trigger an alarm. A transport assembly is presented for facilitating transportation of the tank water heater assembly to an installation site and subsequent installation. Finally, a method for installation of a tank water heater assembly is provided.

Abstract: A safety device for emergency shut-down of an electric instantaneous water heater. The safety device includes a contact and a counter contact, which are set up to conduct the current for supplying the instantaneous water heater in a contacted state and to interrupt the power supply of the instantaneous water heater in an open state. Further, the safety device includes a mounting device for mounting the counter contact on a tie rod, wherein the tie rod is set up to release the mounting device and the counter contact 4 from the contact to interrupt a power supply of the instantaneous water heater. The contact of the safety device is implemented as a contact rivet which is integrated directly into a circuit board.

Abstract: A tankless water heater comprising a bare wire heating element is disclosed which is connected to an electronic temperature control system. At least one sensor is furthermore connected to the electronic temperature control system. A fluid heating chamber is made of insulating non conductive material wherein the heating element is located. At least one switch is connected to at least one bare wire heating element and to a phase of an AC line. An electrode system and an electronic detecting circuit are interconnected. The electrode system is arranged in a fluid channel, in a short distance from the bare wire heating element which acts like electrode 1. The electrode 2 of the electrode system is made from a conductive tube material hydraulically connected to a throttle valve made from non conductive material to insulate the electrode 2 from the grounded collector. The electrode 2 is electrically connected to a electronic control system via a conductive material.

Abstract: The quality of a fuel-air mixture shall be evaluated by a process and a device during a phase of combustion, especially in a spark ignition engine, in order to make possible a low-emission, fuel-saving and knock-free operation. An electrical testing pulse P is sent for this purpose to the spark plug during the phase of combustion V following the ignition pulse Z. The effect of the actual fuel-air mixture of the combustion chamber on the testing pulse is detected and evaluated as an electrical variable.

Abstract: A water heater including an inflow terminal for connecting a tankless water heater to a cold water supply and an outflow terminal for connecting the tankless water heater to a tap. A fluid channel proves a fluid connection from the inflow terminal to the outflow terminal. A heat element arrangement is arranged at or within at least a section of the fluid channel for transferring heat to fluid present within the fluid channel. An electronic controller is configured to control a heating power provided to the heat element arrangement. A flow sensor is arranged at or within the fluid channel downstream the heat element arrangement. The electronic controller is further configured to detect the presence of air bubbles within the fluid channel based on a change of a flow signal provided by the flow sensor and to adapt the heating power provided to the heat element arrangement in reaction to the determination of air bubbles.
