What are Immersion Heaters?
Defined as an “electric water heater sitting inside a hot-water cylinder”, immersion heaters have their own power supply connected via a cable. Similarly working like a kettle, immersion heaters use an electric resistance heater (which resembles a coil or a metal loop) to add heat to the surrounding water.
They can be used as the primary industrial heating element or as a backup water supply for combi boilers.
Most households may use immersion heaters for back up since they would already have hot water boiler or central heating system.
Immersion heaters are normally inserted directly into a tank, vessels, or pipes to heat process liquids and gases. Heat is generated by electricity at immersion utilizes a power supply, thus virtually making all energy to be consumed by the product being heated. This results in almost 100% efficiency.
