Abstract (en)

[origin: US4617910A] Apparatus and method for producing and storing heated liquid such as hot water, with immersed heating of the liquid. A tank of relatively small volume for heating the liquid to the temperature required for use, having a heating body at least partially immersed therein, and a second tank of larger volume communicating with the first tank, preferably by an overflow, are provided. The second tank serves as a reservoir for hot liquid produced in the first tank, the liquid level within the second tank varying, in accordance with desired use. The present invention may be applied for producing heated liquid, e.g. hot water, for both domestic and industrial use.
