Abstract
(EN) A water heater having a water tank and a electric resistance heating element (125) extending into the water tank for heating water in the tank. The water heater includes a proportional band temperature controller (100) for conducting electric power to the electric resistance heating element (125) in bursts. Each burst of electric power is followed by a period during which the temperature controller does not conduct power to the electric resistance heating element (125). In one embodiment, each burst of electrical power lasts for about 95 % or less of a cycle comprised of one burst of electric power followed by the period during which the temperature controller (100) does not conduct electric power.
(FR) L'invention concerne un chauffe-eau présentant un réservoir d'eau et un élément chauffant (125) à résistance électrique s'étendant jusque dans le réservoir d'eau afin de chauffer l'eau contenue dans le réservoir. Le chauffe-eau comprend un régulateur (100) de température à bandes proportionnelles destiné à conduire l'énergie électrique par salves dans l'élément chauffant (125) à résistance électrique. Chaque salve d'énergie électrique est suivie d'une période pendant laquelle le régulateur de température ne conduit pas l'énergie électrique à l'élément chauffant (125) à résistance électrique. Dans un mode de réalisation, chaque salve d'énergie électrique dure environ 95 % au moins d'un cycle composé d'une salve d'énergie électrique suivi d'une durée pendant laquelle le régulateur (100) de température ne conduit pas l'énergie électrique.
