Abstract (en)

A device for heating water includes a metallic tube (T) on which there is wound a resistor (R), as well as a tapered body (N) mounted inside the tube (T) by means of a plurality of supports (S). In this way, thanks to the reduction of the free cross-section, an increase in the speed of the water flow is achieved without decreasing the heat exchange area while maintaining the same overall size. The subsequent higher rate of heat exchange allows to reduce the activation time and/or the power of the resistor, and thus ultimately to reduce the power consumption and/or limit the peak power absorbed by the machine. <IMAGE>
