ABSTRACT:
A continuous flow water heater has a sealed chamber containing an electrical heating element and a diaphragm having an orifice through which water must flow upon a demand for hot water. The center of the diaphragm translates axially in response to the water flow and moves an internal magnet which influences an external magnet to throw a flow switch. A heat sink made from a material exhibiting high thermal conductivity extends from within the sealed chamber to a position in heat exchanging relationship with a thermostat, the contacts of which are closed unless the water exceeds a set value. The flow switch and thermostat are in series with a source of electricity and the heating element such that the heating element is only energized if there is water flow through the heater and if the exiting water does not exceed a selected temperature. The sealed chamber is contained within a housing made of heat-resistant plastic. A plurality of opposed pairs of longitudinally extending grooves are formed in the housing, and a mounting bracket is provided for detachably snapping into one of the pairs of grooves to allow the heater to be mounted in a variety of different orientations.
