Abstract:
A water heater has a tank defining an interior volume, a heating element disposed within the interior volume, and a temperature sensor disposed with respect to the heating element so that the temperature sensor detects temperature of an area ambient to the heating element in the interior volume. The heating element is actuated at a predetermined actuation rate and for a cumulative actuation period so that the predetermined actuation rate maintains the heating element below a predetermined maximum temperature in air and so that the actuation period contributes a predetermined amount of energy to the ambient area when the heating element is immersed in water.

Claim (Index 9):
The controller as in  claim 8 , wherein the actuating step\n comprises: detecting a first temperature of the ambient area;\n after detecting the first temperature, intermittently actuating the heating element for a predetermined cumulative actuation period; \n after the predetermined cumulative actuation period, determining a second temperature of the ambient area; and \n disabling the heating element if the second temperature exceeds the first temperature beyond a first predetermined increment.
