SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCALE MANAGEMENT IN WATER HEATING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027101 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCALE MANAGEMENT IN WATER HEATING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system for collecting scale from water in a water heating appliance. The system includes a reservoir with an inlet and an outlet, and a filter positioned within the reservoir to divide it into an upstream and downstream section. A collection chamber is positioned in or adjacent to the upstream section to receive scale as the water flows through the filter.

  • The system collects scale from water in a water heating appliance.
  • It includes a reservoir with an inlet and outlet, and a filter that divides the reservoir into upstream and downstream sections.
  • A collection chamber is positioned to receive scale as the water flows through the filter.
  • The system helps prevent scale buildup in the water heating appliance.
  • It improves the efficiency and lifespan of the appliance.
  • The collected scale can be easily removed from the collection chamber.
  • The system can be used in various types of water heating appliances, such as boilers or water heaters.

Potential Applications

  • Water heating appliances, such as boilers and water heaters.
  • Industrial equipment that uses water for heating or cooling.

Problems Solved

  • Scale buildup in water heating appliances.
  • Reduced efficiency and lifespan of water heating appliances.
  • Costly maintenance and repairs due to scale accumulation.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency and performance of water heating appliances.
  • Extended lifespan of water heating appliances.
  • Reduced maintenance and repair costs.
  • Cleaner and healthier water supply.
  • Increased energy savings.


Original Abstract Submitted

in one example, a system for collecting scale from water in a water heating appliance includes a reservoir having an interior, an inlet through which the water flows into the interior, and an outlet through which the water flows from the interior, the inlet, the outlet, and the interior defining a water pathway. a filter is positioned within the interior of the reservoir and the filter is oriented to traverse the water pathway and divide the interior of the reservoir into an upstream section into which the water flows from the inlet and a downstream section from which the water flows to the outlet. a collection chamber is configured to receive scale as the water flows along the water pathway through the interior of the reservoir and the water passes through the filter. the collection chamber is positioned in or adjacent the upstream section of the interior of the reservoir.
