(54) Apparatus to circulate and heat liquid


(57) Apparatus to circulate and heat liquid, such as water, which apparatus includes an incorporated or separate source of heat (2) and a liquid inlet pipe (10) and a liquid outlet pipe (12), and inside which apparatus is arranged, connected to the outlet pipe (12), a preferably spiral pipe (11) for heating the liquid to its final temperature. In known heating systems, it is not enough to heat the water, also a circulation water pump is needed. With this invention, the need for a circulation water pump is eliminated by that the inlet pipe (10) and the outlet pipe (12) are each equipped with a back-pressure valve (13, 14), and that inside the apparatus, between the inlet pipe (10) and the spiral pipe (11) is installed an element (7) comprising a liquid space (8) with a direct connection to the inlet pipe (10) and the spiral pipe (11) and, connected with said space, a vaporizing space (9) which quickly vaporizes the liquid.
