Patent number: 11969742Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a hose nozzle assembly with apertures sized to facilitate heating groundwater based on the expected temperature of the groundwater. The hose nozzle assembly can have a handheld enclosure having a handle portion connected to a body portion, a heating chamber having a heating element configured to heat a fluid, and a spray nozzle. The spray nozzle can include a first aperture configured to provide a first spray pattern at a first flow rate corresponding to a first change in temperature of fluid flowing through the heating chamber and a second aperture configured to provide a second spray pattern at a second flow rate corresponding to a second change in temperature of fluid flowing through the heating chamber. The second flow rate can be less than the first flow rate and the second change in temperature can be greater than the first change in temperature.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Rheem Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Christopher M. Hayden, Sergiu G. Mihu, Eric R. Jurczyszak, Curtis J. Keohane

Patent number: 11774140Abstract: A heating unit for heating fluid is described having at least one electrical resistance heating element on an outer surface of a tube. At least one indexed groove is provided around a surface of the tube allowing for at least one retention clip to hold the electrical resistance heating element. A heating chamber is also provided to enclose a portion of the tube and to provide a flow channel therebetween. The heating chamber includes an optical sensor to detect overheating of the at least one electrical resistance heating element. Fluid is heated by flowing over the surface of the at least one electrical resistance heating element and through the tube.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Rheem Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Christopher M. Hayden, Eric R. Jurczyszak, Jeff Hankins

Patent number: 10795386Abstract: A hot water faucet system can include a housing, an outlet, a heating chamber, a valve assembly, and a handle. The valve assembly can include a valve assembly inlet, a valve body, a flow selector, and a valve cap. A handle is connected to and can rotate the flow selector within the valve body. The valve body includes a valve body aperture and the flow selector includes a notch. As the handle is rotated from zero degrees to approximately 90 degrees, the alignment of the notch, the valve body aperture, and the valve assembly inlet increases so that the flow of water from the valve assembly inlet increases. As the handle is rotated from approximately 90 degrees to approximately 160 degrees, the alignment of the notch, the valve body aperture, and the valve assembly inlet decreases so that the flow of water from the valve assembly decreases.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Rheem Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Eric R.
