- Figures 3a and 3b show the connecting pipe between the two main elements of the on-board electronic water heater of the invention and its automatic emptying into the heating tank, by gravity.
- Figure 4 shows the prohibition by a device included in the water treatment element of the water heater of the invention, the flow by siphoning of the water contained in the attached reserve to the heating tank , when the annexed water reserve is placed on a plane greater than that of the water treatment element of the water heater of the invention.
- FIG. 5 shows the prohibition by a device, preferably placed in or near the delivery element, of the flow of the water contained in the heating tank of the treatment element of the water heater to the delivery element, when the water treatment element is placed on a plane higher than the delivery element.
- FIG. 6 shows the operating diagram of the peristaltic type pump allowing the suction of the water and the self-priming of the said pump.
- Figure 7 schematically shows a mechanical means of making the flow of heated water impossible other than by intervening with both hands on the delivery element of the water heater of the invention.
- Figure 8 schematically shows the delivery element of the water heater of the invention comprising an integrated cup holder.
- the electronic water heater on board a motor vehicle of the present invention mainly comprises two independent and cooperating elements, firstly a delivery element (L) and secondly a water treatment element (T).
- the delivery element (L) consists mainly of the water flow orifice through which the heated water flows to reach the container of the user. It is very compact and most often installed on the dashboard of the vehicle.
- the water treatment element (T) includes all of the elements of the operation of the water heater, including the heating tank (1) equipped with its electric heating resistance (2) and the pump (3). It is most often placed out of sight in a discreet place in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and at a level below the delivery element (L).
