[0044] Referring to figure 1, 2 & 4, illustrating exploded view of induction coil water heater 100 according to one of the embodiments of the present subject matter. The induction coil water heater 100 has a tank assembly 101 provided with an inlet to introduce cold water into the tank assembly 100, and an outlet to withdraw hot water out of the tank assembly 100. A back cover 102 is provided on the back side of the tank assembly 101 to cover the tank assembly 101. Further, a single module 207 is provided to heat the tank assembly 101 and simultaneously insulate the tank assembly 101. The single module 207 is a consolidation of an induction coil assembly 103 and a sub-unit 205. A front cover sub-assembly 401 is provided to accommodate the single module 207 in front side of the tank assembly 101. The front cover sub-assembly 401 is a consolidation of a front PUF blocker 107 and a front cover 106. A bottom PUF blocker 108 covered with a bottom service cover 109 is provided to cut off heat loss from the bottom of the tank assembly 101.
[0045] Referring to figure 2 illustrating single module of the induction coil water heater according to one of the embodiment of present subject matter. The induction coil assembly 103 of the single module 207 includes a frame 501 with concave curvature similar to the curvature of the tank assembly 101. The frame 501 has protrusions provided on its front side. These Protrusions are provided in conformity with the shape of the induction coil 502. The protrusions provided on the front surface of the frame 501 accommodates the induction coil 502 in a way that no extra provision is provided on the frame 501 to fix the induction coil 502. The coil assembly 103 formed by consolidating the frame 501 and the induction coil 502 is used to induce eddy current in the tank assembly 101 containing water. This eddy current generates heat in the tank assembly 101 and heat the water contained in the tank assembly 101. A thermostat is provided in the tank assembly 101 to cut off the power supply to the induction coil 502, once the water is heated to a predetermined temperature.
[0046] The sub-unit assembly 205 includes a ferrite holder 104 and a mounting frame 105. The sub-unit assembly 205 covers the coil assembly 103 and the tank

assembly 101 from the front side. The ferrite holder 104 has a concave curvature similar to the tank assembly 101 and the coil assembly 103. The inner side of the ferrite holder 104 is towards the coil assembly 103, in a way that, induction coil 502 is never in contact with the inner side of the ferrite holder 104 due to the existence of the protrusions on the frame 501 of the coil assembly 103. At the front side of the ferrite holder 104, a plurality of supporting frames 202 is provided to accommodate a plurality of ferrites. A supporting frame 204 is also provided in the middle.
[0047] The mounting frame 105 is a 'C shaped frame of suitable material used to cover the tank assembly 101 and the coil assembly 103. The mounting frame 105 has a structure 208 provided in the middle to link with the supporting frame 204 provided in the middle of the ferrite holder 104. Both the mounting frame 105 and the ferrite holder 104 has a plurality of bosses 206a on their respective right and left side. A sub-unit assembly 205 is formed by fastening the plurality of bosses206a provided on the ferrite holder 104 and the mounting frame 105. In the formed sub-unit assembly 205, both the ends of the ferrite holder 104 are affixed to the respective end of the mounting frame 105 and middle of the ferrite holder 104 is linked with the structure 208 provided in the middle, on the inner side, of the mounting frame 105. The linking of middle portion of the ferrite holder 104 and the mounting frame 105 divides the sub-unit into two halves (301a, 301b).
[0048] The front side of the mounting frame 105 is provided with protrusion to accommodate a fan for cooling and also provision is provided to accommodate the main Printed Circuit Board (PCB). A plurality of holes 201 is provided on front side of the mounting frame 105 to inject polyurethane foam (PUF) into each half of the sub-unit assembly 205. The liquid polyurethane foam (PUF) is injected into the assembly 205 which forms a solid layer of polyurethane foam (PUF) between the mounting frame 105 and the ferrite holder 104. The advantage of using liquid polyurethane foam (PUF) is that it forms a layer, on hard to reach portions, between the mounting frame 105 and the ferrite holder 104 which in turn provides

better insulation to the tank assembly 101 and the coil assembly 103, than pre-formed polyurethane foam (PUF).
[0049] When liquid polyurethane foam (PUF) is solidified between the mounting frame 105 and the ferrite holder 104, the polyurethane foam (PUF) exerts pressure on the mounting frame 105 and the ferrite holder 104. To avoid forming any bulge due to pressure exerted by the polyurethane foam (PUF), ribs 302 are provided on the inner surface of the mounting frame 105 to provide stiffness.
[0050] Further, the ferrite holder 104 has continuous extended frame 203 around its perimeter to stop leakage of liquid polyurethane foam (PUF) outside the single module 207.
[0051] Ferrites are accommodated on the supporting frames 202 provided on the front side of the ferrite holder 104. Ferrites on these supporting frames 202 cut off the heat flow towards outside and keep the heat flow towards the tank assembly 101. This reduces the heat loss and enhance the overall rating of the induction coil water heater 100.
[0052] A plurality of stoppers 303 is provided on top and bottom end of the frame 501 of the coil assembly 103 to maintain a gap between the tank assembly 101 and the induction coil 502.
[0053] The single module 207 is formed by fastening the plurality of bosses 206a, 206b provided on the frame 501 of the coil assembly 103 and the sub-unit assembly 205 using screws and/or nut and bolt combination.
[0054] Referring to figure 4, illustrating front cover sub-assembly 401 of the induction coil water heater according to one of the embodiment of present subject matter. The front cover sub-assembly 401 includes a front PUF blocker 107 and a front cover 106 having a slot in the middle. The front PUF blocker 107 is in the shape of a hollow rectangle with its top and bottom side having a curvature similar to the tank assembly 101 and width of the front PUF blocker 107 is identical to the width of the tank assembly 101. The front PUF blocker 107 is fitted in the slot provided on the front cover 106. The front cover 106 also

accommodates the single module 207 in the slot. Provisions are provided on the front cover 106 to fasten the front PUF blocker 107 and the single module 207.
[0055] The single module 207 and the front cover sub-assembly 401 is further covered with service cover 110 and trim 111. A display 114 is provided in connection with the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) 113 to display various parameters of the induction coil water heater 100.
[0056] Water is introduced in the water tank assembly 101 through inlet provided in the tank assembly 101. The induction coil 502 provided outside the tank assembly 101 induce eddy current in the tank assembly 101 containing water. The heating effect of eddy current increase the temperature of the water. This increase in temperature of the water is continued until the temperature reaches a cut off value. Thermostat provided in the tank 101 take a note of temperature and cut of the power supply to the induction coil 502 when the predetermined cut off value is reached. The insulation provided in the induction coil water heater 100 does not let heat to flow into the surrounding, instead, the ferrites provided in the single module restrict the heat flow towards surrounding and keep the heat flow towards the tank assembly 101. This improves the standing heat losses of the induction coil water heater 100. Water is taken out from the tank 101 through outlet and new cold water enters the tank assembly 101. As the temperature of the tank 101 decreases below the cut off value due to the introduction of cold water into the tank assembly 101, the thermostat again establishes the power supply to the induction coil 502 and the whole process starts again.
[0057] The induction coil water heater 100 according to the present subject matter improves the standing losses by reducing the heat loss to the surrounding. Unlike presently available induction coil water heater, the single module is easily removable in present induction coil water heater 100 without damaging the insulation i.e. polyurethane foam (PUF). Further, in present induction coil water heater, insulation is provided on top of the tank, bottom of the tank and around the tank. This is not the case with presently available induction coil water heater as insulation cannot be provided in them because coil is placed outside the tank.
