Thermostatically Controlled Bypass Valve And Water Circulating System For Same

View page
US Patent:
6536464, Mar 25, 2003
Filed:
Oct 25, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/697520
Inventors:
Ken Lum - Fresno CA
Dale Kempf - Fresno CA
Keith Harris - Fresno CA
Assignee:
Grundfos Pumps Manufacturing Corporation - Fresno CA
International Classification:
F16K 4900
US Classification:
137337, 236 1211, 122 133, 4638, 417 32
Abstract:
A thermostatically controlled bypass valve for bypassing water away from a hot water valve until the water temperature reaches a desired level at a fixture in use for home or industrial applications. The bypass valve has a valve body with a thermally sensitive actuator disposed between the hot water inlet and discharge ports and the cold water inlet and discharge ports that is thermally responsive to the temperature of the water. A bias spring pushes against the piston on the thermal actuator to close the actuator and open a passage between the cold and hot water sides when water needs to be bypassed. When the water from the hot water heater reaches the desired temperature level at the bypass valve, the bypass valve closes and hot water is made available to the hot water side of the fixture. Until then, the thermal actuator remains open and cold or tepid water is allowed to bypass the hot water side of the fixture. Flexible hoses attach the inlet and discharge ports on the hot and cold water sides to the hot and cold water supply systems and the hot and cold water valves on the fixture.

US Patent:
6929187, Aug 16, 2005
Filed:
Dec 4, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/006970
Inventors:
Dale Kempf - Clovis CA, US
Ken Lum - Fresno CA, US
Assignee:
Grundfos Pumps Manufacturing Corporation - Fresno CA
International Classification:
G05D023/13
US Classification:
236 1211, 236 93 A, 137337
Abstract:
A water control fixture having an operating valve and a thermostatically controlled bypass valve disposed in the fixture for bypassing water away from the fixture until the water temperature reaches a desired level. When pressurized water from the hot water heater reaches the desired temperature level at the fixture, the bypass valve closes and hot water is made available to the fixture. The bypass valve has a thermal actuator element that is thermally responsive to the temperature of the water. The fixture can have a housing with an interior chamber for operatively receiving the bypass valve. Various passages or channels can be provided to facilitate communication between the bypass valve and the water supply lines. Alternatively, the bypass valve can be positioned in the operating valve, including the moveable ball and the replaceable cylindrical valving cartridge types. A system using the in-fixture bypass valve is also provided.

US Patent:
7073528, Jul 11, 2006
Filed:
Mar 21, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/394795
Inventors:
Dale Kempf - Clovis CA, US
Ken Lum - Fresno CA, US
Assignee:
Grundfos Pumps Manufacturing Corp. - Fresno CA
International Classification:
F16K 49/00
US Classification:
137337, 236 1211, 236 93 A, 122 133, 4638, 4732
Abstract:
A water control valve configured for use with a bypass valve to automatically bypass cold or tepid water in a hot water supply line so as to maintain hot water at the fixture. The water control valve is useful for shower/tub facilities and for appliances such as washing machines and dishwashing machines. The water control valve for use with shower/tub facilities is adapted for the bypass valve to attach to or be adjacent to the water control valve by utilizing bypass ports, passageways and/or connectors. The water control valve for use with appliances is adapted to have a second outlet for connecting to a second water control valve or, for combination service valves, to have the bypass valve disposed in the tubular section between the hot and cold water components. The preferred bypass valve is a thermostatically controlled bypass valve of the type having a thermal actuating element.

US Patent:
7140382, Nov 28, 2006
Filed:
Jul 1, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/172681
Inventors:
Dale Kempf - Clovis CA, US
Ken Lum - Fresno CA, US
Assignee:
Grundfos Pumps Corporation - Olathe KS
International Classification:
G05D 27/13
F16K 49/00
US Classification:
137337, 236 1211, 417 32, 4638
Abstract:
A water circulating system including a water control fixture having an operating valve and a thermostatically controlled bypass valve disposed in the fixture for bypassing water away from the fixture until the water temperature reaches a desired level. When pressurized water from the hot water heater reaches the desired temperature level at the fixture, the bypass valve closes and hot water is made available to the fixture. The bypass valve has a thermal actuator element that is thermally responsive to the temperature of the water. The fixture can have a housing with an interior chamber for operatively receiving the bypass valve. Various passages or channels can be provided to facilitate communication between the bypass valve and the water supply lines. Alternatively, the bypass valve can be positioned in the operating valve, which can include the moveable ball or replaceable cylindrical valving cartridge types of valves.
