Dual Sensor Companion Water Heater |
| 摘要 |
A hot water heater appliance includes a boiler, companion water heater, and a controller. The companion water heater has a hot water storage tank. The controller is configured to control the water heater appliance in response to a sensed temperature at an upper portion of the hot water storage tank and a sensed temperature at a lower portion of the hot water storage tank. The controller is configured to control the boiler to quickly heat water in the hot water storage tank in response to both upper and lower temperatures of the hot water storage tank being below a predetermined temperature and the controller is configured to more slowly heat water in the hot water storage tank in response to the upper temperature of the hot water storage tank being above the predetermined temperature and the lower temperature of the hot water storage tank being below the predetermined temperature. |

1. A hot water heater appliance, comprising:
a boiler; a companion water heater having a hot water storage tank; and a controller configured to control the water heater appliance in response to a sensed temperature at an upper portion of the hot water storage tank and a sensed temperature at a lower portion of the hot water storage tank, wherein the controller is configured to control the boiler to provide a boiler water to the hot water storage tank at a temperature above a predetermined temperature in response to both of the sensed temperature at an upper portion of the hot water storage tank and the sensed temperature at a lower portion of the hot water storage tank being below the predetermined temperature and the controller is configured to control the boiler to provide the boiler water to the hot water storage tank at a temperature at the predetermined temperature in response to the sensed temperature at an upper portion of the hot water storage tank being above the predetermined temperature and the sensed temperature at the lower portion of the hot water storage tank being below the predetermined temperature. |
