Definitions

  • bathtub heating system 100 may attribute the detected temperature change to user activity.
  • Small variances in the temperature e.g., approximately in a range of +0.2 to -0.2 degrees F (or, for example, approximately in a range of +1 to -1 degrees F) in a time approximately in a range of 1-2 minutes (or other time ranges, e.g., several seconds) may be attributed to environmental changes that need to be compensated for to maintain the original detected temperature.
  • Other variance ranges are also contemplated.
  • fluid pump chamber shield 903 may be coupled to end cap 1213 and inlet 1205. Other configurations for fluid pump chamber shield 903 are also contemplated. As expandable liner 901 expands, fluid 419 around expandable liner 901 may be displaced (causing, for example, fluid 419 to flow through check valve 917b).
  • FIG. 17 illustrates a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for using bathtub heating system 100. It should be noted that in various embodiments of the methods described below, one or more of the elements described may be performed concurrently, in a different order than shown, or may be omitted entirely. Other additional elements may also be performed as desired.

Abstract

L'invention concerne, dans certains modes de réalisation, un système de chauffage de baignoire qui peut détecter la température du fluide du bain (par exemple de l'eau, de la boue, etc.) dans une baignoire et peut appliquer de la chaleur au fluide du bain pour maintenir une température sensiblement constante (ou pour donner à un utilisateur un profil température/temps indiqué et/ou prédéterminé). Dans certains modes de réalisation, le système de chauffage de baignoire peut ne pas utiliser de capteur de température. Par exemple, le système de chauffage de baignoire peut utiliser un capteur de niveau de fluide pour détecter lorsque le fluide du bain situé dans la baignoire est à une hauteur suffisante pour agir et peut appliquer une quantité prédéterminée de courant aux éléments chauffants pour maintenir approximativement la température du fluide du bain dans la baignoire.
