Abstract
UFS is a closed tank of reserve water, linked in series with the piping system to grantee the supply of water of a limited quantity, when the main supply is cut off. It will always be filled with new water, it has an indication lamp to show that, reserve water is in use. UFS is for normal cold water and also can be for hot water, in this case the electrical water heater need to be modified to work as water heater and UFS as well.
Description
UFS -Uninterrupted fluid system
Technical field \
An online reserve water tank of normal running water to be available on emergency Background art
In electricity UPS serve as reserve supply of power for short period to guarantee safe shut down of some instruments. In water, if the supply is direct from municipality line, when a cut off take place, there is no reserve to complete your shower or shaving, an old filled bottle should be used. In the case of having overhead tank, the supply of water tank is considered also as main supply, no reserve too, as there is no indication or warning of end of supply. Disclosure of invention The invention is to put an online reserve tank of running water to be installed in bathrooms and hanged like the electrical water heater, for cold water, or add reserve hot water feature also for electrical water heater. This tank is of limited use of single bathroom, it will always have fresh running water .it warns the user that, this is a reserve water to maximize its uses .reserve tank could be linked to all or limited outlet of end usage To guarantee that the tank is always full like water heater, its feeding start from the bottom of the tank ( 1 ), and exit from the top of the tank (2) and a reserve exit from bottom through output (3) when the water, is running, the pressure of the water enlarges a rubber disc inside a pressure sensor valve (4) which pushes a lever (5) to seal the exit number (3) and force the water into exit (2). When the main supply is cut off, the pressure over the rubber disc drops and the sealing is released .the water pass through the lower exit (3) to the piping system an indictor lamps (7) could be installed at the top of the tank .when the water level drops, a low current circuit could be closed to light the indicator lamp. UFS could be also used for hot water to use the stored hot water only, In this case the pressure sensor valve (4) in addition to its function, it should switch off the electrical supply to the heater when water is cut off.
To install the UFS, the main supply should be cut and redirected through the UFS, and then the two merged UFS exits should be connected to the other cut end. This is easy in the new installation and some of the old one
If redirecting the main supply to UFS is difficult, the alternative is in putting UFS in series with the electrical water heater. In this case the UFS unit is the same, but the exit (3) of UFS will be linked to the hot exit of the water coming from heater. When the main supply is cut off, cold reserve water will pass through hot piping system, as in dawning. Manual control could be added through installing a 3 way valve at the entrance of the reserve water, to the piping, In this case no usage of reserve water without switching the 3 way valve. Industrial applicability
UFS is a regular electrical water heater tank with or without heating element, with the following modifications 1. Adding an extra exit for emergency water, or it could be branched from input line.
2. Adding a pressure sensitive valve to close the emergency exit when the main supply is on .Open it when supply is off.
3. Link the emergency water exit with normal water exit to the piping system. 4. Adding indictor lamp when emergency water in use.
Description of Drawings
Fig (1) shows the normal connection of UFS water start from non return valve through input ( 1) then goes out through output (2) in normal condition, if supply is cut off the pressure drop. The rubber disc goes back word and opens the output (3) under the pressure of spring
Fig (2) shows the detail of pressure sensing valve. The input water to the UFS passes under a rubber disc (4) which enlarges under the pressure, it pushes a column of valves (5) to close the output coming from the UFS through exit(3).
Fig (3) shows the indicator lamp set, when the floating element (9) drop, the magnet (10) at its end move outside magnet (8) to light the lamp (7).
Fig (4) shows installation of a UFS in series, with an in use electrical water heater. The reserve water will be through hot piping
Fig (5) shows an electrical water heater and UFS at the some time, in this case the reserve is the stored preheated water. Electricity should be turned off through switch (12).

Claims
1. In series closed reserve water tank UFS with renewing water for hot & cold water.
2. Automatic pressure sensor valve, it opens when water pressure in the main supply drops, and re-closes upon commencing the pressure of the supplied water.
3. Adding an electrical switch to the automatic pressure sensor valve to the regular electrical water hater to be used also as UFS.
4. By passing the water heater in old installation and allowing reserve water through hot piping system.
