Water Heaters
Water Heaters
A new breed of hot water heaters are emerging that can be managed by the Smart Grid to benefit both the electricity or gas utility as well as the consumer. TE has been deeply involved in developing connectivity standards for Smart Grid to allow plug-in connection to Smart services.
A water heater heating element heats incoming water for more effective delivery. Heating elements connect to the wiring harness using individual terminals or multi-position connectors.
The wiring harness interconnects the PCB to the various components through out the water heater. A typical wire and harness would include power and signal connectors, terminals and splices, and heat shrink tubing.

A mixer valve opens and closes to let a fixed volume of water enter the washer drum or tub. Mixer valves connect to the wiring harness using individual terminals or multi-position connectors.
Sensors measure temperature, humidity, turbidity, water level and more so that the Control Board can perform the task input by the user. Sensors are connected to the wiring harness using individual terminals or multi-position connectors.

Both electric and gas hot water heaters are desirable to manage through Smart Grid or Demand Management programs. TE has been working with standards committees to provide a standard interface for control modules to allow this control of the hot water heater.
