U.S. Patent Application Publications Publication Nr. Kind Code Publ. Date Applicant 2003/0159804 A1 Jan. 4, 2005 Butler - 2. Background of Invention
- Potable domestic water may be heated various ways. Energy costs also vary depending on the heating method used. The energy cost of heating water using a standard electrical heating element may be relatively high compared to other means of heating water such as using solar, heat pump, or gas-fired technologies. Solar water heating may be viewed as a cost effective method by collecting the sun's radiant energy to heat water either directly or indirectly using active or passive solar water heating systems. Gas fired and heat pump technologies currently provide a relatively lower energy cost of heating water compared to using standard electrical heating elements to heat water.
- In active solar water heating systems, a pump is used to circulate heat transfer fluid from a storage tank through a solar collector, such as a series of tubes within a box with a transparent cover. Typically, the pump is controlled by a control system which activates the pump when the temperature in the solar collector is higher than the temperature in the storage tank. Once the heat transfer fluid has been heated, it then passes through a heat exchanger or series of heat exchangers which exchange heat between the heat transfer fluid and the water to be heated. Although active systems provide better control than other systems, control systems and pumps may be expensive and require additional energy to operate.
- Passive, thermo-siphon, and batch solar water heating systems are beyond the scope of this document as existing technologies do not utilize heat exchangers that are similar in fashion to implementations herein.
- Hybrid heat-pump water heaters may indirectly and efficiently heat water using a system of condensers, evaporators, pumps, heating elements, and heat exchangers, currently saving up to 60% of the cost of heating the water compared to using just a standard electrical heating element. Implementations herein may be combined with heat pump technologies in order to heat water.
- Standard electrical heating elements create heat as a byproduct of electrical resistance in a simple electrical circuit. When enough electricity passes through a wire with some amount of resistance, heat is created as a byproduct and thereby transferred to a fluid such as water inside of a water heater tank when the fluid comes into direct contact with the electrical heating element. A typical 40 or 50 gallon household electric water heater usually has 2 standard electrical heating elements which screw into dedicated heating element receptacles, one receptacle located closer to the top of the tank, and one closer to the bottom. The heating element(s) usually work in conjunction with electronic thermostats that regulate when the heating element electrical circuit is open or closed.
- Gas-Fired water heating is a relatively simple process where combustible fluids or gases are ignited to create heat as a byproduct, where the heat may be channeled through a heat exchanger or heat exchanging mechanism that comes into direct contact with the water to be heated. Recently, the use of natural gas as an inexpensive source of heating water has been widely accepted in locations that have ready access to natural gas.
- Many previously mentioned water heating systems are either relatively expensive or require extensive installation procedures which drive up the cost of the systems to surpass the real or perceived benefit gained from implementing such systems. In their current configuration, existing water heating systems may lack consumer buy-in without a dramatic reduction in cost or ease of installation.
- One of the many objectives of implementations related to a screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters may be to improve existing water heating systems by creating, in some embodiments, a low cost heating element replacement which acts as a heat exchanger and makes up part of a water heating system; the heat exchanging element may in some embodiments be retrofitted to a water heater that uses standard electrical heating elements and may prove to be a value-added component of many water heating systems due to the implementation's low cost, versatility, ease of installation, and maintenance capabilities.
- Implementations generally relate to improvements for water heating systems, and more particularly, to a screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters, adapted to a water tank's dedicated heating element receptacle.
- Implementations of screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters like those disclosed in this document may have one or more or all of the following advantages, as well as other benefits discussed elsewhere in this document.
-
- Screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters implementations provide a viable retrofit installation option that minimizes the cost of changing from a standard electrical water heating system to a solar, heat pump, or other water heating technology, and allows for the screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters to be easily removed for various purposes such as maintenance, repair or replacement.
- In addition to retrofit installations, screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters implementations provide a standardized option for new and used hot water tanks, resulting in lower costs, less materials used, and streamlined repairs or installations.
- Screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters implementations provide a benefit in that they allow you to integrate low pressure solar collectors as part of a water heating system. Low pressure solar collectors are usually much less expensive than high pressure ones because the low pressure collectors are often constructed out of thin thermoplastics without any protective casing.
- Screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters implementations provide a remedy against hard water scaling, which commonly builds up on heat exchangers and heating elements, by providing the ability to periodically remove the heat exchanging element from a tank and clean off the hard water scale, thereby maintaining the efficiency of the heat exchanging element.

There are many features of screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters implementations disclosed herein, of which one, a plurality, or all features or steps may be used in any particular implementation.
- In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying pictures which form a part hereof, and which show by way of illustration possible implementations. It is to be understood that other implementations may be utilized, and structural, as well as procedural, changes may be made without departing from the scope of this document. As a matter of convenience, various components will be described using exemplary materials, sizes, shapes, dimensions, and the like. However, this document is not limited to the stated examples and other configurations are possible and within the teachings of the present disclosure.
- One embodiment of a screw-in heat exchanging element is illustrated in
FIG. 1 and consists of an external tube (5) made of thermally conductive material that is capped on one end (4) and has standard plumbing fittings (8) consisting of an inlet (1) and an outlet (7) which define an internal flow path for heat exchange fluid, all of which make part of either an insertable external portion (11) or a removeable insert (9). When the heat exchanging element is inserted into a domestic hot water tank by way of a male threaded mounting base (2) and has heated fluid pumped through it, thermal energy is transferred between the insertable external portion and potable water (16) within a tank. An external coil (10) is added to or formed as a part of the external tube to increase the surface area of the thermally conductive material. The external coil may also increase fluid turbulance through convection which aids in thermal conduction between the heated fluid and the potable water. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a dissasembled view of a screw-in heat exchanging element where it is made evident that the heat exchanging element consists of an insertable external portion (11) and a removeable insert (9). The inlet (1) and outlet (7) are part of the removeable insert and attached to an internal tube (3) which transfers the heated fluid to an opening near the closed end of the external tube (5). The heated fluid then travels back between the walls of the external tube and the internal tube through a spiral channel created by an internal coil (6). The internal coil is added to the inside of the external tube to increase the internal surface area of the thermally conductive material and to create additional fluid turbulance during operation. -
FIG. 3 . illustrates a cross-sectional view of an electric domestic hot water heater tank with screw-in heat exchanging elements replacing both standard electric heating elements. An electric domestic hot water heater tank in this example consists of an tank wall (20), tank insulation (21), tank exterior (19), a cold water inlet (13) and a hot water outlet (15), tank drain valve (17), electrical conduit (14), anode rod (12), and heating element receptacles (18). During operation, heated fluid is pumped through the heat exchanging elements (22) and transfers heat directly into the potable water supply (16) of the electric water tank. -
FIG. 4 . illustrates a cross-sectional view of an electric domestic hot water heater tank with a screw-in heat exchanging element replacing a lower standard electric heating element. An electric domestic hot water heater tank in this example consists of an tank wall (20), tank insulation (21), tank exterior (19), a cold water inlet (13) and a hot water outlet (15), tank drain valve (17), a standard electrical heating element (23), electrical conduit (14), anode rod (12), and heating element receptacles (18). During operation, heated fluid is pumped through the heat exchanging element (22) and heat is transferred directly into the potable water supply (16) of the electric water tank while leaving the upper standard electrical heating element in tact which acts as an additional source of heat. - In general, a screw-in heat exchanging element for water heaters may include a single or double wall, screw-in heat exchanging element for electric water heaters, comprised of internal and external tubular element(s); the external tubular element may be linear, closed on one end, and contain formed passageways between the walls of the internal and external tubular elements for the transfer of heat exchange fluid, and may contain thermally conductive material fastened to or formed as part of the inside and outside of the external tubular element to increase the surface area of the heat exchanging element that comes into direct contact with the water or fluid to be heated; an internal coil may be located between the internal and external tubular elements, forming a spiral internal passageway for the heat transfer fluid. An inlet and an outlet with related fittings defining a flow path for heat exchange fluid; a mounting base on which the external tubular element is mounted; the mounting base may have a male threaded portion adapted to screw into a dedicated heating element receptacle provided on a standard electric water heater tank, to allow the flow of heat transfer fluid through the heat exchanging element from an outside heat source when the heat exchanging element is connected thereto; the mounting base may contain a hexagonal shape therein for the purpose of screwing into a heating element receptacle.
