Water heaters-An everyday necessity
San Diego, CA – May 2015 Equipment that uses electricity or any other source of energy to raise the temperature of normal water for domestic or industrial use may be called a water heater. Hot water finds use in multiple household applications especially in winter and is a necessity in places with colder climate. Hence a water heater also serves as a reservoir of hot or warm water and provides constant supply. In majority of industrial processes, heated water or steam is required. This is provided by large scale industrial heaters or boilers.
Water boiler and its working
Water boiler for domestic use is also known as a thermo pot. It is basically a water reservoir with a heating element at the bottom that uses electricity to heat up the water and maintain it at a constant temperature. Different models offer variety of features like temperature selection settings, automatic turn off, options for hot, warm and lukewarm water etc. the boiler can be used to make tea/coffee, hot chocolate or simply as a source of warm drinking water. They come in a range of size options from small portable kettles that are handy for travelling to large wall mounted boilers that are more suited for use in kitchen.
Advantages
Traditionally water has been heated with the help of fire. This process is highly energy inefficient as a major portion of the heat is lost to the atmosphere and takes a lot of time. Advantages of using an electric water boiler are:
• Highly energy efficient system as the heating element uses very less electricity
• The process takes very less time due to the insulated body of the reservoir and the heating element also enclosed in it
• The water is maintained at a higher temperature for a longer time
• Compact, portable and cost effective
Maintenance
Most modern water boilers, whether portable or wall mounted face the problem of sedimentation. Since water contains numerous minerals, boiling the water breaks down many such minerals into their constituent elements and compounds and they generally settle at the bottom. The process is called sedimentation and due to this the heating element gets coated with a layer of sediments. This reduces the heating efficiency of the element and sometimes might give away foul smell also, like rotten egg smell due to excessive deposition. The heater thus requires regular cleaning and vinegar is very useful for scraping off sedimentation.
Apart from sedimentation, larger and more sophisticated water heaters like the bathroom geyser that are permanently installed may need periodical checks and maintenance. It is advisable to get these done by a trained professional from the dealer or supplier.
How to purchase them online
Portable water heaters like the electric kettle are readily available through popular online shopping websites. Since it is a very simple device and very commonly used, online purchase is the easiest way. For larger heaters like a bathroom geyser, it is prudent to choose and buy the product online and getting it installed through the dealer.
