  • the sleeve 42 includes means 54 for preventing the sleeve 42 and in particular the body 50 from creating a constriction in the internal passage through the sleeve by, for example, collapsing on itself.
  • the means 54 for preventing the constriction is in the form of a deformable section which is capable of expanding and contracting. The expansion and contraction are achievable as a result of concertinaed rings 56 of the deformable section 54. It should be clear that the deformable section 54 is substantially similar to bellows.
  • a portion of the deformable section 54 which is the upper portion, is typically compressed or contracted while another portion, which is the lower portion, is expanded.

  • the concertinaed rings 56 reduce in diameter from the first end 44 towards the second end 46 of the sleeve 42.
  • the larger end of the deformable section 54 is therefore located adjacent the first end 44 which connects the sleeve 42 to the element 18.
  • the sleeve 42 has a substantially cylindrical portion 58 at its first end 44.
  • the cylindrical portion 44 is primarily responsible for attaching the sleeve 42 to the element 18. Accordingly, the cylindrical portion is elastic so that it may expand to receive the element inside the sleeve 42 and contract around to element 18 to attach the sleeve to the element.
  • the cylindrical portion 58 is stretched in order to place it over the element 18 and then released to return to its original state in order to wrap itself around the element, thereby attaching the sleeve 42 to the element.
  • the cylindrical portion 58 is primarily used to attach the sleeve 42 to the element 18 it is envisaged that the deformable section 54 could also be used to attach the sleeve 42 to the element 18 or at least assist with such attachment. It should be clear that the deformable section 54 could therefore also be elastic.
  • the sleeve 42 and in particular the cylindrical portion 58 carries a securing element in the form of an annular lip 60 located at the first end 44 of the sleeve 42.
  • the annular lip 60 serves to secure the sleeve 42 onto the element 18 by trapping the element inside the sleeve. As shown in Figure 7 the lip 60 extends over or around the element 18, in particular the end coil of the element, to secure the sleeve about the element K should be understood that, in use, a forcing acting to pull sleeve 42 off the element 18 is created due to the flow of water through the sleeve. The lip 60 acts to prevent this pulling force from removing the sleeve 42 from the element
  • the sleeve 42 further makes provision for a thermostat (not shown in the accompanying drawings) to pass through it.
  • the sleeve 42 carries a holding formation 62 located at the first end 42 of the sleeve 42.
  • the holding formation 62 is in the form of a tube extending from the cylindrical portion 58. Best seen in Figures 5 and 6 the holding tube 62 extends from the cylindrical portion 58 of the sleeve 42 at angle transverse to the sleeve's longitudinal centre axis 64.
  • the holding tube 62 is open to the internal volume of the sleeve 42 in order to allow the thermostat to pass through the sidewall of the sleeve and into the tank 12.
  • the sleeve 42 is typically made from a material that can withstand the temperate of the element 18 by moving the sidewall out of contact with the element 18 the overall safety is improved. For example, the risk of the sleeve 42 burning due to contact with the element 18 is reduced as a result of the expansion of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve 42 is buoyant such that, in use, its second end 46 is located in a position above its first ends 44.
  • the sleeve 42 is made from a material, such as PVC plastisol, in a dip moulding process. As a result the sleeve 42 is buoyant. It has also been found that, in order to improve the buoyancy of the sleeve 42, a gas such as C0 2 for example can be blown over the sleeve 42 during the dip moulding process.
  • C0 2 bubbles 66 are trapped inside the sidewall of the sleeve 42 which improves the overall buoyancy of the sleeve.
  • substantially the entire sleeve 42 is buoyant it is envisaged that only a part thereof could be manufactured to be buoyant. From the above description it should be clear that the part of the sleeve 42 that is buoyant should include the second end 46 or at least be arranged to cause the second end 46 to be in a position above the first end 44 in use.
  • C0 2 bubbles 66 being trapped inside the sidewall of the sleeve 42 is that they improve insulation, in addition to the insulation provided by the material from which the sleeve 42 is made. Due to the added benefit of improved insulation it is preferred to manufacture the sleeve 42 such that C0 2 bubbles are trapped along substantially the entire length of its side wall, thereby improving insulation characteristics of the sleeve 42. It has been found that very little heat transfer takes place between the water flowing through the sleeve 42 and the water outside the sleeve. It is believed that the decreased thermal conductivity of the sleeve 42 results in an increase in effectiveness of the sleeve 42 and according the efficiency of the water heater 40 in which the sleeve is installed.
  • the heated water is delivered into the tank 12 at the second position where the sleeve outlet 46 is located so as to provide hot water in the top of the tank 12 where its outlet 16 is located.
  • An advantage of using the sleeve 42 is that the water volume at the top of the tank 12 is heated first. As a result the water heater 40 is capable of providing a usable volume of water at the desired temperate quicker.
  • Experimental results illustrating the rapid heating of the water inside water heater due to the use of the sleeve 42 is illustrated in Table 1 below. These results are also illustrated graphically in Figures 8 and 9. The experimental results of Table 1 were obtained using a vertical water heater as opposed to a horizontal heater illustrated in Figures 4 to 7. The water heater has a total capacity of 150 litres and the water temperature at the start of the experiment was 15'C, i.e. prior to switching on its heating element
  • the water heater 40 could include multiple thermostats located at different positions in the tank 12. The different positions of the thermostats will typically correspond with different volumes of water. For example, the thermostats will be spaced apart vertically so that the volume of water between the outlet 16 of the tank 12 and each thermostat increases from the top of the tank to the bottom of the tank. The control system could then be set to regulate the operation of the water heater 40 according to the required volume of water.
  • the thermostats could be placed at positions in the tank 12 corresponding to 30, 65, 120 and 150 litres of water.
  • the control system could then be set to heat 30, 65, 120 or 150 litres of water to the pre-set temperate.
  • the control system is set to heat 30 litres of water to 55'C the switching of the heating element 16 will be regulated based on the temperate reading at the first thermostat, thereby ensuring that 30 litres of hot water is available for use.
  • the control system can then be used to switched between different settings for providing different volumes of hot water according to the user's needs.
  • the use of the sleeve 42 translate into an energy saving on the operation of the water heater 40.
  • the water at the top of the tank 16 i.e. the hot water that will be dispensed first, heated more rapidly, it is heated first prior to heating the rest of the water in the tank 12.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that pre-set volumes of water could be heated according to user requirements and demand, thereby reducing operating time of the element 18. The reduction in operating time of the element 18 results in an energy saving and, accordingly, a saving on operating costs.
  • a significant advantage of the sleeve 42 is that it can be retrofitted easily to existing water heaters.
  • the first end 44 of the sleeve 42 has been illustrated in the accompanying drawings to fit over a spiral element 18, the sleeve could be adapted to fit over a differently shaped element without departing form the scope of the invention.
