Hot water appliance

Abstract

The invention relates to a hot water appliance (1) at least comprising a water tank (2), a water supply pipe (3), a water discharge pipe (4), a heating element (5), and a means (6) for at least partly covering an inlet point (7) of the water supply pipe (3). The invention is characterized in that the heating element (5) is connected to the means (6) for at least partly covering the inlet point (7) of the water supply pipe (3), said means (6) for at least partly covering the inlet point (7) of the water supply pipe (3) deflecting at least some of the water to the bottom of the water tank (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hot water device comprising at least a hot water tank, a water inlet, a water outlet, a heating element and a mechanism for at least partially covering the water inlet. Background technique [0002] Hot water installations with a water tank for heating water are widely known in the prior art. In such devices, a water inlet is usually provided on the bottom side of the water tank through which cold water can flow into the water tank. Water outlets are usually provided on the upper side of the water tank, through which water can leave the water tank and be directed to the user. Since hot water accumulates on the upper side of the tank, it is ensured by such a device that the water at the water outlet has the highest temperature. If now cold water flows into the water tank after a large amount of hot water has been taken, it sometimes takes a long time until hot water can be supplied again. If the cold water flows directly in...
