Heating water. - The water jacket 2 of an internal-combustion engine 1 is connected through pipes 4 and 5 with a tank 3 provided with a cold water inlet 6, hot water outlet 7, expansion pipe 8, and a chamber 10 connected with coil 11 through which the exhaust gases from the motor are discharged. A thermostatic regulator 15 in tube 4 may restrict the circulation when starting from cold in order to provide a small quantity of very hot water at the top of the tank. The motor 1 may drive a dynamo 14, part of the current from which may be used in electrical heating means in tank 3.
