BOILING METHOD USING MOVABLE SEPARATOR WITHIN TANK AND HORIZONTAL ELECTRIC WATER HEATER FOR THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent mixing of low-temperature water during boiling up by dividing inside of a hot water storage tank into a high-temperature water chamber and a low-temperature water chamber and varying the volume of each of the chambers, promptly boil up hot water, and achieve hot water supply at stable temperature.;SOLUTION: A heating element 3 is provided in the hot water storage tank 2, and a movable separator 4 which can be laterally moved within the hot water storage tank 2 is provided. When hot water is boiled up while the volumes of the high-temperature water chamber HR on the heating element 3 side and the low-temperature water chamber LR on a water supply port 5 side are varied, the movable separator 4 is moved to the water supply port 5 side to gradually expand the volume of the high-temperature water chamber HR.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
