  • Water heaters with real-time hot water supply determination
    Patent number: 12000625
    Abstract: A water heating system can include a water heater having a tank, an inlet line, and an outlet line, where the inlet line provides unheated water to the tank, and where the outlet line draws heated water from the tank. The water heating system can also include multiple sensing devices, where each sensing device of the plurality of sensing devices measures a parameter associated with the tank. The water heating system can further include a controller communicably coupled to the plurality of sensing devices, where the controller determines an amount of heated water in the tank based on measurements made by the plurality of sensing devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 2022
    Date of Patent: June 4, 2024
    Assignee: Rheem Manufacturing Company
