    摘要: A low water cutoff switch controller features a dual inline package (DIP) in combination with low water cutoff switch processor. The dual inline package (DIP) has DIP switches, each DIP switch configured to set in a respective application type or mode corresponding to a particular water heater model for the low water cutoff switch controller to control, and also configured to provide DIP switch signaling containing information about a respective DIP switch set. The low water cutoff switch processor is configured to respond to the DIP switch signaling, and also configured to respond to corresponding signaling containing information about a sensed water level contained in the particular water heater model being controlled by the low water cutoff switch controller, and provide control signaling containing information to control the operation of the particular water heater model. The low water cutoff switch controller is a single controller that can be used for controlling any one of a plurality of different water heater models and have different voltage applications by setting a respective one of the DIP switches.

    摘要: Disclosed is a device capable of retaining water in a water heater during the course of changing out the heating element. The device is comprised of a series of parts that fit together in such a way as to allow for a heating element insertion and removal without draining of water from the water heater. Because of the relationship between tubes 4 and 7, and bushings 3 and 5 (teflon, aluminum, or any suitable metal or material) and the threaded piece 1 and heating element tip, screwing in clockwise heating element allows for alignment of these components (tube 4 with slots to align with tube 7 and its slots); slots will be aligned so that water flows through. The heating element is in fluid contact with the water of the water heater. However, unscrewing counter-clockwise the heating element rotates these components in such a fashion as to block the slots in tubes 4 and 7 and the threaded element 1 in order to contain the water of the water heater while the heating element is exchanged for a new one. Upon screwing clockwise the new heating element, the components again go from blocking the water from draining out, to an open channel allowing for continuous fluid flow between the heating element and the water heater. When inserting the new heating element, it is clockwise. The outer tube with an offset of 180 degrees will prevent water from escaping from the water heater.

    摘要: An apparatus for heating a liquid includes an electro-acoustic resonator disposed inside a container. The electro-acoustic resonator includes a concave rigid emitter and a substantially hollow receiver spaced closely apart from and mounted in the emitter. The emitter may be configured in the form of a hemisphere, and the receiver in the form of generally spherical bladder containing a free-moving sold mass in a gas. The container may be in the form of a cylinder. During operation, an AC power source is applied to the emitter and the receiver is wired to ground. The resonator generates acoustical energy, heating a liquid (e.g., water) as it flows through the container.
