Title:
LIQUID HEATING APPLIANCES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/016600
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a liquid heating appliance for heating water or other liquids, suitably to a target temperature of from 55°C to around boiling point, and which comprises: a primary heat chamber or body (heat source chamber) that is thermally insulated and which in use contains a high thermal density heat storing liquid or solid; and a secondary chamber alongside the primary chamber through which a liquid to be heated is passed in use, the appliance having a heat transfer feature to selectively transfer thermal energy from the heat-storing liquid or solid to the liquid to be heated in the secondary chamber. The secondary chamber is preferably a conduit through which the liquid to be heated is able to flow and the thus heated liquid can be delivered to a tap as hot water for a range of uses. Water may also be heated for a central heating system for space heating.
