Multicompartment hot water tank

Abstract

A versatile hot water tank has a plurality of compartments, each separated by a partition, each containing a heating means and each connected to the other by a connecting pipe so that water can circulate betwen compartments.

1 . A versatile hot water tank comprising: 
 a plurality of compartments, each separated by a partition and each connected to the other by a connecting pipe;    water traveling downward from the uppermost compartment to the next lowest compartment by way of a connecting pipe.    
   
   
       2 . A versatile hot water tank as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said compartments along with related hardware found inside a sleeve having a top removable lid.    
   
   
       3 . A versatile hot water tank as in  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a humidity detector an electromechanical water shut off and a timer to control heating cycles.    
   
   
       4 . A versatile hot water tank as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 a heat trap placed on at least one connecting pipe to slow down water migration and comprising two ends interfacing with said connecting pipe and said connecting pipe sectioned off to allow insertion of said heat trap;    two generally parallel pipe segments; and joining segments.    
   
   
       5 . A versatile hot water tank comprising: 
 a plurality of compartments, each separated by a partition and each connected to the other by a connecting pipe;    water traveling downward from the uppermost compartment to the next lowest compartment by way of a connecting pipe;    said compartments along with related hardware found inside a sleeve having a top removable lid;    a humidity detector an electromechanical water shut off and a timer to control heating cycles.    
   
   
       6 . A versatile hot water tank comprising: 
 a plurality of compartments, each separated by a partition and each connected to the other by a connecting pipe;    water traveling downward from the uppermost compartment to the next lowest compartment by way of a connecting pipe;    said compartments along with related hardware found inside a sleeve having a top removable lid;    a humidity detector with water shut off and a timer to control heating cycles;    a heat trap placed on at least one connecting pipe to slow down water migration and comprising two ends interfacing with said connecting pipe and said connecting pipe sectioned off to allow insertion of said heat trap;    two generally parallel pipe segments; and joining segments.    
   
   
       7 . Heat traps to slow down water migration comprising: 
 two ends interfacing with a connecting pipe and said connecting pipe sectioned off to allow insertion of said heat trap;    two generally parallel pipe segments; and joining segments.
