Modelling of a domestic paraffin geyser for rural application

摘要

The provision of electricity to many rural areas has not been adequately addressed. The means to warm water can thus be a problem in such areas. An opportunity for a product to fulfil the water heating needs of the rural community exists. Current market products are not engineered well enough to provide realistic solutions to this problem. The modelling of an existing water heating product, using paraffin as the energy source, will allow for better understanding of how such products work. The model can then be used to optimise the current design or to redesign the product from scratch.
