Abstract
A point of use induction water heater has a water receiving space arranged between an inlet and outlet, and at least one inductor coil disposed in the water receiving space, arranged to become submerged by water flowing between the inlet and outlet. At least one conductive body is also contained in the water receiving space, and arranged to be inductively heated by the inductor coil upon driving of the coil with a current.
Claims25
A point of use induction water heater for installation in-line with a water supply pipe, for heating water flowing through the water heater between an inlet and an outlet thereof, the water heater comprising:
- a water receiving space arranged between the inlet and outlet;
- at least one inductor coil contained in the water receiving space and being configured, in use, to be in contact with and to be submerged by water flowing between the inlet and the outlet;
- and
- at least one electrically conductive body contained in the water receiving space, and configured for magnetic inducement therein of electrical currents through driving of the at least one inductor coil, the electrical currents for heating the conductive body, to thereby heat water flowing in use between the inlet and outlet.
