Abstract: The present invention relates to a hot water supply tank. A hot water supply tank, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a storage part which accommodates a fluid therein; an internal water outlet pipe through which a fluid flows from the storage part toward a heat pump; an internal water supply pipe through which the fluid flows from the heat pump toward the storage part; and an internal pipe which is disposed inside the storage part, wherein the internal pipe includes: a connection pipe which is connected to the internal water supply pipe, and at least a part of which is flexible; and a discharge pipe which has one end connected to the connection pipe and extending long, wherein a pipe through hole passing through the discharge pipe may be formed at the other end of the discharge pipe. Various other embodiments are possible.

Abstract: A diffuser for a water heater fill tubes having a tube wall with an outside diameter. The diffuser includes an elongated flexible diffuser body for positioning at the outlet end of the fill tube. The diffuser body has a sealing end for sealing with an outside surface of the fill tube wall closest to the inlet end of the fill tube, and an open end for positioning at an end closest to the outlet end of the fill tube. The open end has a diameter larger than an outside diameter of the tube wall, thereby creating an diffuser water outlet opening between the diffuser body and the tube wall for redirecting radial water flow emanating from the fill tube water outlet opening(s) toward the diffuser outlet opening. A fill tube assembly for a water heater, a water heater, and a method for heating water are also disclosed.

Abstract: A multi-functional retrofit cover plate assembly and method for an electric water heater to provide interconnection with an alternative energy system to heat water in a water holding tank of the electric water heater. The cover plate is adapted for replacement connection over a bottom access opening formed in an outer casing of the electric water heater which permits access to a bottom resistive heating element and electrical connections. The retrofit cover plate is shaped to define an internal dedicated compartment. A dual resistive heating element is provided for replacement of the bottom resistive heating element. An electronic switch unit is further provided and it has a power cut-off switch for connection to an alternative supply voltage. A temperature sensor is provided for mounting against an outer surface of the tank of the water heater to feed actual temperature signals of water temperature within the tank, in a lower region thereof, to the electronic switch unit which operates the power cut-off switch upon a predetermined temperature having been attained in the tank of the water heater. The retrofit cover plate and the assembly also make it possible to covert the water heater to a high temperature water heater or to adapt the electric water heater to a thermal fluid heat source.

Abstract: A water heater and a cover assembly for the water heater is provided. The water heater includes a mixing valve disposed in fluid communication with each of a hot water conduit and a cold water pipe, to regulate temperature of hot water received from the hot water conduit. The cold water pipe branches from a cold water conduit and extends along a longitudinal axis of the tank to connect with the mixing valve. The cover assembly is mounted on a tank of the water heater. The cover assembly includes a first cover to conceal the cold water pipe, and a second cover to conceal the mixing valve and the hot water conduit extending between the tank and the mixing valve. The second cover is removably coupled to the first cover via one or more coupling elements.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a non-powered valve assembly having a valve, an actuating system, and a trigger. The trigger can be in mechanical communication with the actuating system and the actuating system can be in mechanical communication with the valve. The trigger can be positioned such that the trigger can interact with liquid resulting from a leak in a plumbing assembly. Upon interaction with liquid, the trigger can dissolve or expand, causing the actuating system to be activated and the valve to transition from the open position to a closed position. In the closed position, the valve can restrict the passage of liquid through the plumbing assembly such that the leak can be mitigated.
