Description

ENVELOPPE ÉTANCHE DE RETENUE POUR CHAUFFE-EAU
ÉLECTRIQUE
Domaine de l'invention La présente invention est une enveloppe étanche translucide d'un chauffe-eau électrique qui a la capacité de retenue du plein volume dudit chauffe-eau et ayant la capacité de rétention permettant l'évacuation par un tuyau de trop plein à un niveau prédéterminé.
Descrintion de l'art antérieur.

Lors d'une fuite ou d'un bris de ces chauffe-eau, les dégâts occasionnés par inondation peuvent être évités en utilisant ce système qui assure de contenir et de diriger l'écoulement. Les drains de plancher sous les chauffe-eau n'étant pas une requête obligatoire et les cuvettes de retenue posées sous les chauffe-eau n'ayant pas de volume de rétention suffisant, des dégâts considérables sont occasionnés a chaque incident de rupture ou de déversement, surtout dans les habitations résidentiels à étages.
Les réservoirs électriques sont pourvus de leur propre disjoncteur et l'alimentation électrique du chauffe-eau ayant un autre disjoncteur dédier. Lors d'un bris, l'eau s'échappant du réservoir principal en s'écoulant entre l'isolant et l'enveloppe de fmition du chauffe-eau, interrompt l'alimentation électrique, dès qu'il y a fuite à la terre.
Cette protection permet d'accéder et de fermer les valves en cas de bris sans danger d'électrocution. L'utilisation d'un matériel translucide permet de détecter visuellement la présence d'eau dans l'enveloppe au début de la fuite.

Sommaire de l'invention.

J'ai découvert que pour palier à ces carences lors des remplacements ou de la pose d'un chauffe-eau qu'il est important d'installer une enveloppe de retenue translucide, de forme cylindrique dans laquelle est assis le chauffe-eau. La portion supérieure de l'enveloppe qui est ouverte , se ferme par étranglement sur le dessus du chauffe-eau.
Cette enveloppe translucide est fabriquée d'un matériel permettant de supporter la pression statique équivalent à la hauteur d'eau, entre le dessous du chauffe-eau et la sortie du drain du trop-plein. La souplesse du matériel et le mécanisme d'étranglement doit permettre à
toute personne voulant accéder aux portes d'accès, au disjoncteur , aux éléments chauffants , au branchement électrique et la valve de drainage de le faire sans difficulté.
Un orifice dans l'enveloppe à une hauteur prédéterminée doit permettre de lui adapter un tuyau ayant pour fonction d'évacuer le trop plein vers le système de drainage.
Une échancrure dans la partie supérieure de l'enveloppe permet le passage du fil d'alimentation électrique et du tuyau d'apport d'eau sur les modèles alimentés par le bas.
Brève description des dessins Le dessin figure 1 représente une élévation de l'invention.
L'enveloppe translucide, référence numérique 1 figure 1, est refermée par une gaine d'étranglement , référence numérique 2 , figure 1 L'évacuation se fait par un orifice , référence numérique 3 figure 1 Le passage du fil d'alimentation électrique et dans certain cas du tuyau d'eau froide se fait par l'échancrure , référence numérique 4 figure 1.
SEALED HOUSING ENVELOPE FOR WATER HEATER
ELECTRIC
Field of the invention The present invention is a translucent waterproof envelope of a water heater electric which has the capacity to retain the full volume of said water heater and having the ability to retention allowing evacuation by an overflow pipe at a level predetermined.
Descrination of the prior art.

During a leak or breakage of these water heaters, the damage caused by flood can be avoided by using this system which ensures containment and lead flow. Floor drains under water heaters not being a request mandatory and the restraining pans placed under water heaters that do not have volume of sufficient retention, considerable damage is caused to each incident of rupture or spill, especially in residential multi-storey dwellings.
The electric tanks are equipped with their own circuit breaker and supply electric water heater having another circuit breaker to dedicate. During a break, the water escaping from the main tank by flowing between the insulation and the envelope of fmition of the water heater, interrupts the power supply, as soon as there is a leak in the Earth.
This protection allows to access and close the valves in case of breakage without danger electrocution. The use of translucent material makes it possible to detect visually the presence of water in the envelope at the beginning of the leak.

Summary of the invention.

I discovered that to overcome these deficiencies during replacements or pose of a water heater it is important to install a restraint envelope translucent, of form cylindrical in which sits the water heater. The upper portion of envelope which is open, closes by choking on the top of the water heater.
This envelope translucent is made of a material to withstand the pressure static equivalent to the water level, between the bottom of the water heater and the outlet of the drain of overfull. The flexibility of the equipment and the throttling mechanism must to allow to anyone wishing to access the access doors, circuit breaker, items heated, to the electrical connection and the drain valve to do so without difficulty.
An orifice in the envelope at a predetermined height must allow him adapt a hose used to evacuate the overflow to the drainage system.
A
notch in the upper part of the envelope allows the passage of the wire power supply and water supply hose on powered models from the bottom.
Brief description of the drawings Figure 1 shows an elevation of the invention.
The translucent envelope, reference numeral 1 figure 1, is closed by a throttle, numerical reference 2, figure 1 The evacuation is done by a hole, numerical reference 3 figure 1 The passage of the power supply wire and in some cases the water hose cold is through the notch, reference numeral 4 figure 1.

CLAIM

The claim for which a patent is sought is:
1) une enveloppe étanche fait de matériel souple translucide de forme cylindrique, ayant la capacité de supporter la pression statique équivalent à la hauteur d'eau entre le dessous du chauffe-eau et la sortie du drain du trop-plein dont la partie supérieure est ouverte dans laquelle un chauffe-eau électrique peut s'asseoir et cette enveloppe est pourvue d'un orifice d'évacuation pour le drainage, ainsi que d'une échancrure pour le passage du fil d'alimentation électrique et du tuyau d'apport d'eau pour les modèles alimentés par le bas. Cette enveloppe dont la partie supérieure se ferme par étranglement par la tension d'un cordon, filin ou de corde dans un fourreau permettant de retenir par suspension la dite enveloppe sur la partie supérieur du chauffe-eau. 1) A waterproof casing made of translucent flexible shape material cylindrical, having the ability to withstand the static pressure equivalent to the water height between the under the water heater and the outlet of the overflow drain whose portion superior is open in which an electric water heater can sit and this envelope is provided with a drain hole for drainage, as well as an indentation for the passage of the power supply wire and the water supply pipe for the models powered from the bottom. This envelope whose upper part is close by strangulation by the tension of a cord, rope or rope in a sheath allowing to hold by suspension said envelope on the upper part of water heater.
