    摘要: A water heating system is described. The water heating system comprises a vessel for holding water and for receiving heat from one or more heat sources for heating water in the vessel. The water heating system comprises a sensor comprising a plurality of temperature sensing elements for sensing a distribution of temperatures in the vessel. The water heating system comprises a connector for connecting the sensor to a retrofittable tank controller. The water heating system is configured to provide one or more characteristics of the water heating system to a retrofittable tank controller such that a retrofittable tank controller connected to the sensor and in receipt of the characteristics of the water heating system can determine from the distribution of temperatures in the vessel a quantity of useable heat stored in the vessel. A retrofittable tank controller for controlling a water heating system is also described. A sensor for measuring a temperature distribution of fluid within a vessel is also described.

    摘要: A liquid heater is described including a chamber for receiving a liquid, pairs of electrodes located within the chamber for applying electric current to the liquid, input terminals for connection to a power supply, a plurality of switches for connecting the pairs of electrodes to the input terminals, and a control unit for controlling the switches. The switches have a plurality of different states for selectively connecting pairs of electrodes to the input terminals in one of a plurality of electrode configurations, the electrodes having a different total electrical resistance in each electrode configuration. When switching between a first electrode configuration and a second electrode configuration having a second lower total electrical resistance, the control unit controls the switches such that switching between the electrode configurations occurs in response to zero-crossings in a voltage of the power supply or the electrodes of the second electrode configuration are energised with a voltage having a higher duty than the electrodes of the first electrode configuration.

    摘要: Provided is an instant water heater. The instant water heater includes a housing, a water inlet pipe, a water outlet pipe, a mounting member, and an electric controller. The housing has a heating container inside. The heating container includes a cap and a water tank detachably connected to the cap. A heating pipe is disposed within the water tank. The water inlet pipe is in communication with a first side of the cap. The water outlet pipe is in communication with a second side of the cap. The water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are connected to two sides of the housing, respectively. The mounting member is configured for securing the water tank to the housing. The electric controller is configured for controlling the heating pipe. By providing stability of the heating container, the provided instant water heater can optimize distribution and installation of components.
