boiler

A boiler is a device used to heat and store hot water. It is a tank that is usually insulated to minimize heat loss and is equipped with a heater to increase the temperature of the water in the tank.

Water heaters are used in a variety of applications, including homes, commercial spaces and industrial facilities. Their main task is to provide hot water for various purposes, such as hot water for bathing, washing dishes or washing machines.

There are different types of water heaters, including electric, gas, and solar. Electric boilers work using an electric heater that increases the temperature of the water inside the tank. Gas boilers use gas combustion to heat water, and solar boilers use sunlight to heat water through solar panels.

The size of the boiler can vary and depends on the requirements and needs of the particular application. Smaller capacity boilers are suitable for households, while larger boilers are often used in commercial and industrial settings where it is necessary to provide a sufficient amount of hot water for a large number of people or processes.

Boilers have various functions and protection features, such as thermostats to regulate water temperature, safety valves to control pressure and protect against overheating, and thermal insulation to minimize heat loss. Their correct use and maintenance are important for ensuring reliable and efficient water heating and extending the life of the device.
