Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2479509A2] This invention provides an electric water heater (10) which comprises a linear array of heating modules (12, 14) each comprising an inlet, an outlet, and a heater element (34). The inlets and outlets of the modules are arranged such that, when they are placed adjacent one another in the array, the outlet of one module (12) is aligned with the inlet of the adjacent module (14). In use this enables water to flow through the modules (12, 14) in series. (Figure 1)
