Hot water pressure washers are known to clean faster than cold water washers, providing surface deep results. Cold water washers, in comparison, are especially effective in removing grease, grime and oil. On demand hot water pressure washers, however, can cost up to ten thousand dollars and can be incredibly tedious and challenging to install. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem.
An apparatus that gives users the flexibility to use both hot water pressure and cold water pressure thus being able to clean effectively with ease is not being met by any known device or system at present. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem either.
The main purpose of the pressure water heater is to provide users with a method of converting an existing cold water pressure washer into a hot water pressure washer for improved function.
A pressure water heater includes a tankless water heater having an ambient water input and a hot water output and mounted to a frame of a pressure washer wherein the hot water output is connected to the pressure washer input and a pressurized water output of the pressure washer comprises a pressurized hot water. Serial and parallel connections from multiple tankless water heaters in hybrid connections including gas and electric units are also disclosed.
Throughout the description, similar reference numbers may be used to identify similar elements depicted in multiple embodiments. Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, the invention is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts so described and illustrated. The scope of the invention is to be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.
The LP tank N is provided separately in embodiments and is included in a kit in other embodiments according to market and technical needs. A ¾×8 in hose for cold water through an inlet nipple and ¾×36 in hot water output is also included in
The present disclosed pressure water heater, also known as “The Pressure Heater Kit”, offers a modern device that allows users to easily and quickly transform a cold water pressure washer into a hot water pressure washer, eliminating the hefty financial cost and labor otherwise associated with the transition. Expanding on the initial design of an average cold water pressure washer, the Pressure Heater Kit introduces a novel universal heating kit possessing a tankless hot water heater, a cold water inlet hose bib that attaches to the heater supply line and a hot water heater exit to pressure the inlet hose bib supply line as the primary connection. In addition, universal, mounting brackets are employed to ensure the apparatus can be conveniently installed onto any and all cold water pressure washers. Users simply mount the hot water heater to the pressure washer. The hose bib is attached via connectors to the inlet side and outlet side of the water heater. Next, the water heater outlet is connected to the side of the pressure washer inlet hose bib connector. The water hose is connected to the inlet side of the water heater. A GFCI 120 v/240 v cord is attached or battery packs supply power to the water heater through an inverter. By attaching the heating module to a cold water pressure washer, the pressurized water is now heated to produce all the benefits of a hot water power washing machine, in a reliable and simplified manner.
Although the operations of the method(s) herein are shown and described in a particular order, the order of the operations of each method may be altered so that certain operations may be performed in an inverse order or so that certain operations may be performed, at least in part, concurrently with other operations. In another embodiment, instructions or sub-operations of distinct operations may be implemented in an intermittent and/or alternating manner.
