Abstract (en)

A storage boiler having a hot water reservoir (1, 101), a tap water supply (6, 106), communicating with the reservoir (1, 101), for supplying tap water, and a tap water discharge (7, 107), communicating with the reservoir (1, 101), for delivering heated tap water from the reservoir (1, 101), further comprising water displacement provisions (10-15, 106, 107, 110, 111, 115, 116, 120-123, 130) (9, 109) for displacing water present in the reservoir (1, 101) within the reservoir (1, 101). By displacing water from one place to another place in the reservoir, Legionella growth in water that is relatively cool for a long time in the reservoir is controlled. Also described is a method utilizing this principle. <IMAGE>
