Abstract
A mobile water heating apparatus for rapidly heating large volumes of water, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, etc., at multiple sites includes a water heater, a water pump, and a water circuit comprising flexible conduit for direct coupling between the pool of water to be heated and the mobile water heating apparatus. The mobile water heating apparatus is independent of on-site dedicated facilities, provides rapid remote site service for cold weather or emergency situations, and is fully self contained, including energy source for heat generation and power generation for operating the water heating system equipment.
Claims20
A mobile water heating apparatus for use in raising the temperature of pools of water at multiple sites comprising;
- a water heater;
- a water circulating pump;
- a water circuit having an inlet adapted to receive pool water and an outlet adapted to discharge heated water into the pool of water, said water circuit coupling said water circulating pump with said water heater;
- an air purge pump disposed in said water circuit between said inlet and said water circulating pump;
- a platform adapted to support said water heater, said water circulating pump, and said water circuit;
- and
- means for propelling said platform, whereby said mobile water heating apparatus is independently transportable to multiple sites.
In a mobile water heating apparatus having a water heater, a water circulating pump, and a water circuit, a method of rapidly heating pool water at multiple sites consisting of the following steps;
- independently transporting the mobile water heating apparatus to the pool of water to be heated and disposing an inlet and an outlet of the water circuit into the pool water;
- circulating the pool water through the water heater and the water circuit by means of the water circulating pump and purging air from the water circuit;
- rapidly heating the pool water within the mobile water heating apparatus by means of the water heater;
- and
- discharging the heated pool water into the pool through the outlet of the water circuit.
