Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018161151A1] An instant electrode water is provided. The instant electrode water heater comprises a housing for containing water therein with the housing having a water inlet and a water outlet. A plurality of electrode plates is disposed inside the housing. The electrode plates are placed such that the electrode plates are oriented parallel to each other and have a predetermined distance between two successive electrode plates for directing water received at the water inlet through successive channels, with each channel being formed by two successive electrode plates, to the water outlet. A plurality of electric contacts is disposed in the housing such that each electric contact is in a touching relationship with a respective electrode plate for providing AC electric power thereto. Electric control circuitry is connected to the electric contacts for controllably providing electric power thereto. The electrode plates may be contained in an electrode cartridge which is removably disposed in a cavity of the housing. The electric control circuitry may comprise current sense circuitry for providing a current sense signal indicative of an electric power usage of the electrodes. A microcontroller is connected to the current sense circuitry, an AC electric power supply, and a user interface. The microcontroller determines supply of the AC electric power to the electrodes in dependence upon the current sense signal and the user input signal and provides a supply control signal indicative of the supply of the AC electric power to the electrodes to the AC electric power supply.
