Product Description
An electrical water heater is a common appliance used to heat water for various domestic purposes, such as bathing, cooking, cleaning, and space heating. Heres an overview of how electric water heaters work, their benefits, types, and key considerations:
How It Works
-
Electric Heating Element:
- Electric water heaters use one or more electric resistance heating elements. These elements are typically made of metal and convert electrical energy into heat through resistive heating.
-
Thermostat:
- A thermostat controls the temperature of the water by turning the heating elements on and off as needed to maintain the desired water temperature.
-
Tank:
- Many electric water heaters have an insulated tank that stores hot water until it is needed. The insulation helps to keep the water hot for an extended period, reducing energy consumption.
-
Cold Water Inlet and Hot Water Outlet:
- Cold water enters the tank through the cold water inlet, usually located at the bottom of the tank. Heated water is drawn from the top of the tank through the hot water outlet.
