摘要： The present disclosure is directed to a mechanical and powerless leak detection and shutoff system that may be used in any commercially available water heater, e.g., both gas and electric. The system includes a spring-loaded shutoff assembly having a valve member operatively coupled to a fluid inlet line of the water heater. A handle of the shutoff assembly is maintained in an open configuration via a latching mechanism until a force is applied to cause the latching mechanism to release the handle and actuate the valve member to shutoff fluid flow through the fluid inlet line. The shutoff assembly is operatively coupled to a leak detection assembly via a cable. The leak detection assembly uses a fluid-soluble material that dissolves when exposed to fluid to thereby pull the cable to apply the force to disengage the latching mechanism.

摘要： A water heating system is provided. The water heating system includes a tank having a wall, a water inlet defined through the wall and configured to allow ingress of water into the tank, and a water outlet defined through the wall and configured to allow egress of water from the tank. The water heating system also includes a first heating element disposed in a first portion of the tank. The first heating element has a substantially elongate shape and is inclined at a first predefined angle with respect to a base of the tank.

摘要： A water heating system having a tank and one or more heat sources for heating water is provided. The water heating system includes a water outlet for allowing egress of water from the tank and a dip tube for allowing ingress of water into the tank. The dip tube includes a first end for coupling with a water source and a second end disposed proximate a base of the tank for discharging water into the tank through an array of holes. Each of the holes is defined in a side wall of the dip tube and laterally discharges water with respect to a longitudinal axis of the second end of the dip tube.

摘要： A leakage mitigation system to trigger a preventive action against detected leakage from a liquid enclosure, includes a leakage detection device disposed along base of the liquid enclosure. The system includes an absorbent that actuates the leakage detection device from a first state to a second state based on a volume of liquid leaked from the liquid enclosure. The device includes a valve coupled to an inlet pipe of the liquid enclosure and configured to allow flow of liquid through the inlet pipe in an open condition thereof and restrict flow of liquid through the inlet pipe in a closed condition thereof. The system further includes a shut-off actuator coupled to the valve and configured to actuate the valve from the open condition to the closed condition in response to the device being actuated from the first state to the second state.

摘要： A leakage mitigation system includes a leakage detection device having a canister configured to: (i) contain a first reactant and a second reactant and, (ii) based on a volume of liquid leaked from a tank, allow the first reactant and the second reactant to react with each other to produce a gas. A shut-off valve coupled to an inlet pipe of the tank is configured to actuate between an open condition and a closed condition. Further, a conduit extending between the leakage detection device and the shut-off valve allows flow of the gas from the leak detection device to the shut off valve. In order to mitigate the leakage of water, the shut-off valve is actuated between the open condition and the closed condition based on the pressure exerted thereon by the flow of the gas.

摘要： The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for automatically shutting off fluid flow through a fluid inlet line of a water heater upon detection of a leak of the water heater. The system may include an electrically powered shutoff assembly operatively coupled to the fluid inlet line, and a capacitor operatively coupled to the electrically powered shutoff assembly. The electrically powered shutoff assembly may be configured to shut off fluid flow through the fluid inlet line upon detection of a leak of the water heater, and the capacitor may be configured to store power received from an external power source. Accordingly, when the electrically powered shutoff assembly does not have access to electric power, the capacitor may power the electrically powered shutoff assembly to shut off fluid flow through the fluid inlet line.
