HOT WATER TANK WITH THERMAL MIXING VALVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019173 titled 'HOT WATER TANK WITH THERMAL MIXING VALVE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a water heater system that includes a tank with a fluid chamber and a thermal mixing valve. The valve is located outside the tank at the top end and has a first fluid inlet connected to the bottom of the tank, a second fluid inlet connected to the fluid chamber, and a fluid outlet outside the tank.

  • The patent application describes a water heater system with a unique thermal mixing valve arrangement.
  • The valve is positioned outside the tank at the top end, allowing for efficient mixing of hot and cold water.
  • The first fluid inlet draws water from the bottom of the tank, ensuring proper circulation.
  • The second fluid inlet is in communication with the fluid chamber, allowing for controlled mixing.
  • The fluid outlet is located outside the tank, providing a convenient point of use for the mixed water.

Potential Applications:

  • Residential water heaters
  • Commercial water heaters
  • Industrial water heaters

Problems Solved:

  • Inefficient mixing of hot and cold water in traditional water heater systems
  • Limited control over water temperature in existing systems
  • Inconvenient location of mixing valves inside the tank

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in water heating and mixing
  • Enhanced control over water temperature
  • Easy access to the mixing valve for maintenance and adjustments
