Controllers for burner appliances and methods thereof
A burner appliance is disclosed. The burner appliance includes a byproduct sensor in an exhaust flue and/or a barometric pressure sensor to detect an environmental pressure at the burner appliance. By calculating concentrations of combustion byproducts in the exhaust with the byproduct sensor, a controller can adjust blower speed and/or fuel rate to modify combustion efficiency. By calculating the environmental pressure at the burner with the barometric pressure sensor, the controller can adjust blower speed and/or fuel rate to modify combustion efficiency. The barometric-pressure data can also be used to adjust blower speed control bands, thereby calibrating the control bands based on environmental pressure. The environmental pressure can be indicative of altitude and/or weather conditions. Methods of operating said burner appliance are also disclosed.
PUMPLESS TOP-UP WATER HEATING TANK
A water heating tank is provided comprising a reservoir with a cold water inlet into the reservoir and a hot water outlet from the reservoir. The water heating tank further comprises a heater enclosure located within the reservoir. The heater enclosure encloses at least part of a heater. The heater enclosure has an inlet, a vent and an outlet. The water heating tank further comprises a duct connected to the outlet of the heater enclosure. The duct has an exit located in an upper portion of the reservoir.
INSTANT WATER BOILING DEVICE
Provided is an instant water boiling device, which comprises: an instant water boiler provided with a water inlet and a water outlet communicated with a faucet; a control panel arranged on the faucet; and a controller in signal connection with the control panel and the instant water boiler. According to the invention, the control panel is separated from the instant water boiler, which is convenient to install, the instant water boiler with a larger volume can be installed in a cabinet under a tabletop, which saves a space of the tabletop, and meanwhile, the control panel is installed on the faucet, which is convenient for a user to operate the control panel, thus facilitating the operation, simplifying the installation, and saving the space of the tabletop.

Water heating system for controlling an ability to set a parameter of a controller
This disclosure is related to devices, systems, and techniques for controlling a temperature of water contained by a water tank. A controller includes a user interface configured to receive one or more user inputs indicative of a request to set a control parameter of the controller and communication circuitry configured to receive, from a user device, an electronic signal. Additionally, the controller includes processing circuitry configured to identify, from the electronic signal, one or more first data packets that include a request to disable an ability to change, based on the one or more user inputs received by the user interface, the control parameter of the controller and in response to receiving the one or more first data packets, disable the ability to change the control parameter of the controller.
Hot water tank with thermal mixing valve
A water heater system includes a water heater and a thermal mixing valve. The water heater includes a tank and a cap that each define interior volumes. The interior volume of the tank includes a heating element is the location where fluid is heated, whereas the cap includes a volume within which the thermal mixing valve may be disposed. The thermal mixing valve pulls cool and warm water from the volume of the tank, and then discharges a mixed stream of fluid at a user desired temperature via an outlet.
