The present disclosure relates, in general, to heating system, and more
specifically, relates to a device for managing electricity and water in a geyser.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Water heater systems commonly are configured to maintain the supply
of hot water at a sufficiently high temperature to meet peak hot water usage,
regardless of the actual usage. It has been long recognized that substantial amounts
of energy are utilized in maintaining the high water temperatures necessary to meet
peak usage. During periods of low or no usage, much of that energy is wasted.
[0003] Hot water can be required for various purposes like taking bath during
winters, washing oily utensils, for fulfilling beauty needs at salon, commercial swimming pools and the likes. For all these purposes, the hot water can be obtained either through geysers, heating rods or heating water on the gas. Generally, many people keep the water geyser switch on all the time, which leads to a lot of wastage of electricity. Whenever geysers are used, the minimum cut off for the power is 3-4 litres of water and the whole heated up water is not used and hence both electricity and water are wasted. Therefore, it is desired to switch off the geyser once the desired temperature and quantity of water is reached.
[0004] Few existing controllers that are time clock which turns off the water
heater system during preset periods known to have no hot water demand. Other controllers determine a hot water supply temperature that is based on historical data as to the amount of hot water used during specified time intervals or as to the amount of time the heater is on during specified time intervals. Such controllers, however, do not respond promptly to actual usage that departs from the historical data, and thus could maintain a supply temperature that is higher than needed for the actual usage occurring, or could maintain a supply temperature that is lower than needed for the actual usage occurring.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need in the art to provide a means that can
deactivate the geyser automatically when the desired temperature and quantity of water is reached.

[0031] The present disclosure relates, in general, to heating system, and more
specifically, relates to a device for managing electricity and water in a geyser. The present disclosure relates to a device that is shockproof, offers safe usage and increases the life of the geyser. It consumes less energy which is durable with all

the safety measures at an affordable cost. The present disclosure can be described in enabling detail in the following examples, which may represent more than one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0032] FIG. 1 illustrate an exemplary functional component of a geyser time
controller, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0033] Referring to FIG. 1, geyser time controller (also referred to as device
100, herein) can be configured to allow the supply of hot water and provides for adequate hot water upon demand. The device 100 can include time selection unit 102, a time stage selection switch 104, controller 106 (also interchangeably referred to as time controller unit 106, herein), connection wires 112 and an indicator (108, 110). The device 100 can be configured for economically controlling the temperature of heated water in a storage tank to maximize convenience to the user while minimizing energy costs.
[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, the device 100 as presented in the
example used in a geyser and storage tank can be a geyser storage tank. As can be appreciated, the present disclosure may not be limited to this configuration but may be extended to other configurations. Each of the different types of geysers typically includes a cold-water supply line for receiving water to be heated, for example, from a utility source or a well, and includes a hot-water supply line for supplying heated water. The device 100 can be used for multipurpose usages like hotels, salons, home apartments, factories, residential and commercial swimming pools, commercial complexes and any combination thereof.
[0035] In an embodiment, the time selection unit 102 can include a stage
selection switch 104 to set temperature parameters at corresponding time intervals based on water level in the tank, the tank having a heating element. The stage selection switch 104 can be used to indicate the stages of temperature to heat the water at corresponding time intervals set by the user manually. The stage selection switch 104 set the temperature of the water at any or a combination of high temperature, medium temperature and low temperature.
[0036] The indicator can be a set of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (108, 110),
the indicators in the form of LEDs are located outside the device 100. The indicator

can include a first LED 108 that enables the device 100 to work with the help of a flip-flop timer integrated circuit (IC) with a pulse of different repeated timings to control the relay. The first LED 108 configured to indicate activation of the heating element at corresponding time intervals. The second LED 110 can be switched on permanently indicating that the device 100 is receiving electricity/power from main power supply. The time intervals can be manually set up by the user. Once all the stages are completed, the first LED 108 glows indicating the device 100 is not working and the second LED 110 switch is deactivated to indicate that the geyser is not receiving electricity from the main power supply.
[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, a 4-stage selector switch can be
installed to select the various timings which are corresponding to different stages. Whenever the total time gets completed i.e., all the stages are covered, then the first LED 108 can glow permanently indicating that the geyser has stopped working and second LED 110 can be switched off permanently.
[0038] The controller 106 can be coupled to the main power supply and the
heating element (also interchangeably referred to as geyser heating element) through the set of connecting wires 112. The tank can include an inlet for a cold-water supply line for receiving water to be heated and an outlet that includes a hot-water supply line for supplying heated water. The controller 106 is operatively coupled to the time selection unit 102, the controller 106 configured to receive, from the time selection unit 102, the temperature parameters at corresponding time intervals based on the water level in the tank.
[0039] The controller 106 can extract, from the temperature parameters, a set
of values for the temperature parameters at corresponding time intervals, where
based on the extracted set of values of the temperature parameters at corresponding
time intervals, the controller 106 configured to control the temperature of water at
corresponding time intervals based on the requirement of the water level in the tank.
[0040] For example, the device 100 can be placed near the main geyser switch
and the main geyser switch can be switched on. There are two indicators in the form of LEDs which are located outside the device 100. First LED 108 indicates that the geyser is working with the help of a flip-flop timer IC with the pulse of different

repeated timings to control the relay. The second LED 110 shows that the device is on i.e., connected with electricity. As soon as the main switch is on, the second LED 110 is switched on permanently and the first LED 108 can start blinking with recurring intervals showing that the geyser is working and controlling the time. The controller 106 can be like a regulator of the fan mentioning various stages corresponding to corresponding time intervals with the help of the 4-stage selector switch. Whenever the total time gets completed i.e., all the stages are covered, then the first LED 108 can glow permanently indicating that the geyser has stopped working and the second LED 110 can be switched off permanently. Finally, the main geyser switch can be switched off. If the user forgets to switch off the geyser even after all the stages are completed, the device 100 may automatically power off the geyser and saves the electricity.
[0041] The controller 106 can be in communication with each of a memory,
and input/output units. The controller 106 may include a microprocessor or other
devices capable of being programmed or configured to perform computations and
instruction processing in accordance with the disclosure. Such other devices may
include microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSP), complex programmable
logic device (CPLD), field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), application-specific
assimilated circuits (ASIC), discrete gate logic, and/or other assimilated circuits,
hardware or firmware in lieu of or in addition to a microprocessor
[0042] The device 100 works by using time controller to indicate the timing
of hot water in the geyser storage tank. The device 100 can indicate various time intervals of the heated water. For example, if the cut off time of a geyser is 1 hour, the device 100 can indicate time in intervals. Different stages of water level can be described in Table 1 below.
