Water heater control system with anode rod and temperature sensor
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11906203B2) discloses a water heating system that includes a tank with a spud opening, a heating apparatus, a temperature sensor, an anode, and a controller. The temperature sensor detects the water temperature in the tank, while the anode helps reduce corrosion and flocculant formation. The system also features a sensor lead and an anode lead that connect the controller to the temperature sensor and anode, respectively. Additionally, the anode and temperature sensor are integrally formed on a unitary probe, with the anode extending further into the tank than the temperature sensor.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method of controlling a water heater by supporting a temperature sensor and an anode using a mounting bracket inserted into a spud of the water heater. The temperature sensor and anode are integrally formed on a unitary probe, with the anode extending further into the water heater than the temperature sensor. The method involves placing the temperature sensor and anode in thermal and fluid communication with the water in the tank, connecting them to the controller, and delivering voltage or current to the anode based on the temperature signal. This innovative system aims to improve the efficiency and longevity of water heaters by effectively controlling the heating process and reducing potential damage to the tank walls.
