Fluid supply assemblies for fluid systems are provided, including faucet assemblies (e.g., electrically or mechanically actuated faucet assemblies) having an integrated anti-scald device and having an integrated temperature mixing valve. An exemplary faucet assembly includes an integrated temperature mixing valve, and/or an integrated anti-scald device configured to stop the inlet flow of hot water in the event the mixed outlet water temperature exceeds a user-selected set point. The faucet assemblies can prevent scalding as defined by ASSE 1070.

The present inventive concept relates to a water recirculating device (100) comprising: a heating arrangement (120); and a flow path divider (122) placed in a water recirculating path (116) upstream from the heating arrangement (120), wherein the flow path divider (122) is arranged to divide the water recirculating path (116) into a heating path (124) and a non-heating path (126); and wherein a first mixing valve (106) is configured to mix water from the heating path (124) having a first temperature and water from the non-heating path (126) having a second temperature in order to form first temperature regulated water, and wherein a second mixing valve (112) is configured to mix water from the heating path (124) having the first temperature with water from the non-heating path (126) having the second temperature in order to form second temperature regulated water.

The invention relates to a method and an assembly for controlling the discharge of a liquid from a fitting (10), wherein the liquid discharge can be shut off by means of a shut-off valve (12) which is actuatable via a codable electric control unit (14) when the temperature of the liquid would cause a hazard.

Disclosed are faucet control device and method. A faucet control device capable of automatic temperature control comprises: a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor installed in a hot water pipe and a cold water pipe to measure the pressures of hot water and cold water, respectively; a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor installed in the hot water pipe and the cold water pipe to measure the temperatures of the hot water and the cold water, respectively; a heating member disposed between the hot water pipe and a faucet; a rotation sensor for measuring at least one of a horizontal rotation angle and a vertical rotation angle when an operation of a faucet knob terminates; a first electronic valve and a second electronic valve installed on discharge ports of the hot water and the cold water, respectively; and a controller for determining a stop position of the faucet knob by using at least one of the horizontal rotation angle and the vertical rotation angle and controlling whether to operate the heating member and the opening degrees of the first electronic valve and the second electronic valve according to the determined stop position of the faucet knob by using the pressures of the hot water and the cold water and the temperatures of the hot water and the cold water.

The invention provides a device for safely dispensing liquids, enabling to manage the state of a releasing valve according to the user, for example a vulnerable user such as a child.

The present techniques relate to a safety device (10) for a tap, particularly a domestic water tap or faucet. The tap has an operating mechanism (46) which is activated by a user to dispense boiling or near boiling water. The safety device (10) comprises at least one grip member (12) for a user to hold when placing the safety device (10) on a tap. The safety device (10) further comprises a housing (14). The housing (14) comprises at least one side wall. When the safety device (10) is mounted on a tap having an operating mechanism, the side wall at least partially surrounds and projects beyond the operating mechanism in a direction which is aligned with a direction of movement of the operating mechanism.

Water tap (2) or water valve assembly is provided which has biometric recognition means (20) provided on or associated with the same. The biometric recognition means (20) are arranged such that operation of the water tap (2) or water valve assembly and/or operation of one or more functions of the water tap (2) or water valve assembly takes place only upon recognition or a positive match of one or more biometric features of a user.

A method and apparatus for delivering water to a user at a control temperature by receiving cold water, receiving hot water and then adjusting a hot-side graduated-valve and a cold-side graduated-valve in order to adjust the temperature of mixed water according to an initial target temperature value. The temperature of the mixed water is sensed in order to provide feedback, which is necessary to adjust the hot-side graduated valve and the cold-side graduated valve. In some embodiments, hot-side graduated valve and the cold-site graduate-valve are also adjusted to achieve a target flow rate. A target temperature and a target flow rate is communicated to the apparatus by way of an air-gesture sensor.

A thermostatic mixing valve includes a first cold water inlet, a first cold water outlet, a second hot water inlet, a second mixed cold/hot water outlet, a thermostatic member and a shutter operated by the thermostatic member to ensure that the mixed water is kept at a predetermined temperature. A hollow insert is provided along the first cold water inlet and includes longitudinal fins on the outer wall thereof to obtain two separate coaxial passages, for sending the cold water both directly to the first cold water outlet and to the area for mixing it with the hot water through the shutter to supply the mixed water to the second hot water outlet.

A programmable system with user interface control for water flow rate or water temperature. Embodiments of the invention include a water temperature control system for a shower.
