A method and system for providing an interactive learning heating schedule for a water boiler system, the method including the steps: (a) receiving an estimate of an amount of available hot water in a water boiler of the water boiler system; (b) receiving usage data for the water boiler system, the usage data including at least one expected usage pattern extrapolated from the usage data; and (c) generating a heating schedule for the water boiler, based on at least one expected usage pattern and the estimated amount of available hot water.

A hot water supply apparatus has: a thermo-sensitive valve which is connected in parallel to a cold water delivery pipe and a hot water delivery pipe and which is closed when the hot water temperature to flow inside the valve is above a predetermined temperature to thereby shut off communication between the cold water delivery pipe and the hot water delivery pipe; and a circulation pump. By operation of the circulation pump, water circulation takes place from a heat exchanger through the hot water delivery pipe, a return pipe, the circulation pump, and a cold water supply pipe back to the heat exchanger. When the thermo-sensitive valve is open, water circulation takes place also through the thermo-sensitive valve. Instantaneous hot water supply operation is finished when an amount detected by a flow sensor falls below a predetermined amount during the instantaneous hot water supply operation.

The embodiments of the present application disclose a combustion control system of a gas water heater or wall-hanging boiler, and a control method thereof. The system comprises: a flue gas channel consisted of a combustor, a heat exchanger and a stepless speed regulating fan and a smoke tube, which are connected sequentially; a control unit connected to a signal input end of the stepless speed regulating fan; a wind pressure sensor assembly that detects a pressure signal upstream of an impeller of the stepless speed regulating fan, a signal output end of the wind pressure sensor assembly being connected to the control unit; the control unit comprising a storage for storing a correspondence relationship between the pressure signal upstream of the stepless speed regulating fan and a thermal load of the combustor, and a controller that controls operation of the stepless speed regulating fan according to the correspondence relationship. The present application further regulates the rotational speed of the stepless speed regulating fan by detecting the pressure signal upstream of the impeller of the stepless speed regulating fan, thereby achieving a better wind-resistant performance of the present application.

The present disclosure provides a water heating system for efficient heating of water for immediate use that fits either to industrial applications or household applications. The water heating system is suitable to be combined with a solar heating unit and it can be operated on electric power or on gas-based heating units for providing hot water to multiple consumers for household or industrial utilization. Furthermore, the system can be stand-alone, operating without any additional water heating system and can provide an immediate stream of hot water, e.g. it can be installed within a water supplying appliance. The water can operate in two modes: (1) heating for immediate use of hot water; and (2) heating water to be contained in a reservoir for later use. The system uses a two (bi) directional flow valve.

A water heater system includes a water heater having a first water outlet and a second water outlet. The water heater system further includes a flow detection device coupled to the first water outlet to detect a water flow through the first water outlet. The water heater system also includes a flow control valve fluidly coupled to the second water outlet. The flow control valve is configured to control a flow of water through the second water outlet based on whether the water flow through the first water outlet is detected by the flow detection device.

A hot water circulation system comprises a water heater having a cold-water inlet and a hot water outlet. A water pump circulates water through the water heater to produce hot water. The hot water is circulated to a thermal bypass valve, which is configured to close when hot water contacts a heat activated seal. A bypass circuit is coupled between the hot water outlet and the cold water inlet of the water heater. The bypass circuit prevents hot water from circulating from the hot water outlet to the cold-water inlet when the thermal bypass valve is open and promotes circulating hot water from the hot water outlet to the cold water inlet when the thermal bypass valve is closed. Upon a temperature sensor sensing hot water entering the cold-water inlet, the water heater turns of the water pump.

An apparatus, method, and device for heating water using in-line magnetic induction. The heating system utilizes eddy currents created via one or more magnetic fields acting upon a stationary ferrous core. The device can be housed within an enclosure, which can in turn be connected to any existing water line, and can be connected to basic house voltage. During operation, cold water enters the enclosure, passes through the system, and leaves the system at a desired temperature setpoint greater than the initial inlet water temperature.

A fluid heater is disclosed and which has a heater, pump, and a plurality of temperature sensors which are electrically coupled with first and second temperature controlled relays, and wherein the fluid heater is operable to maintain a source of fluid used by an object of interest within a predetermined temperature range and further, is operable under given temperature conditions to discontinue operation so as to protect the object of interest and the heater from becoming damaged through overheating of the fluid which is utilized by same.

System and methods for controlling operating state of a heat transfer system are disclosed herein. The heat transfer system can include temperature sensor positioned at the fluid inlet line and the fluid outlet line and a heat exchanger between the fluid inlet line and the fluid outlet line. The heat transfer system can include a processor communicatively coupled to the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor. The processor can determine an inlet temperature of water flowing in the fluid inlet line and outlet temperature of water flowing in the fluid outlet line and can determine a delta temperature based on difference between the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature. Based on the inlet temperature and the delta temperature, the processor can determine an operating state of the heat transfer system.
