Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present disclosure describes a pre-heating, contiguous in-line water heater. The in-line water heater described comprises a number of unique components (each of which may be used alone or in various combinations), such as, but not limited to, a passive heating means, an improved flow detection device and an improved power transformer unit. A means for control for controlling the in-line water heater and encasement for the in-line water heater are also described.

In-Line Water Heater

[0021] As with conventional water heaters, cold water is fed into the in-line water heater (input water) heated as it travels through the in-line water heater. The in-line water heater described herein has several embodiments. The in-line water heater is described as being used with water, however, it should be understood that the in-line water heater can be used with other liquids as well, if desired. The embodiments described below are given for the purpose of example only such that one of o...

Abstract

An improved pre-heating, contiguous in-line water heater is described. The in-line water heater utilizes a passive heating means to passively heat at least a portion of the input water received by the in-line water heater. The result is a more cost efficient water heater. The in-line water heater is integrated with a means for control to receive input from at least one sensor and to regulate the operation of the in-line water heater.

Description

[0001] The instant application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 365,072, filed Feb. 12, 2003, U.S. provisional application Nos. 60 / 526,352 and 60 / 526,333, both filed on Dec. 2, 2003. The instant disclosure generally concerns water heaters. Specifically, the instant disclosure concerns pre-heating, in-line water heaters.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE Background [0002] In-line water heaters (sometimes referred to as on-demand water heaters) are designed to heat a continuous supply of input water only when hot water is demanded by a user. This is in contrast to typical storage tank water heaters which keep, on the average, 30-70 gallons of water heated and ready for use 24 hours a day. Opening a hot water faucet triggers one or more heating units (typically, either electric or gas) to heat the water as it flows through the in-line water heater. The water takes a circuitous path through tubing in the in-line water heater so the heating units of the in-l...
