Definitions

• the present invention relates to a water heating device comprising a water tank and heating means.
• the water heating devices are conventionally cylindrical and therefore require a lot of space.
• GB 731,769 discloses a vertically compartmentalised shaped water heater, a compartment comprises the resistor, and another compartment means for collecting hot water. This device because of its structure has a thermal imbalance and the compartments are not heated to the same temperature because the movements of water are limited.
• DE 4012203 discloses a water heater with a lower resistance and cylindrical compartments.
• This water heater has many disadvantages such as a significant heat loss between the compartments because of their shape.
• this shape reduces the amount of water that can be stored in the water heater.
• the water heater must be connected to the hot and cold water by its upper part. In case the pipes are not properly positioned plumbing work must be done.
• the present invention aims to solve all or part of these problems by proposing a water heating device comprising a water tank and heating means characterized in that the tank comprises a plurality of independent and juxtaposed ducts opening into their main end in a common part of hot water collection and at their secondary end in a common part of water heating and that the ducts are of rectangular section and that the common part of water heating is able to receive the heating means perpendicular to the ducts.
• the advantage of the present invention is to effectively contain and heat a large volume of water, while being of parallelepipedal shape, flattened.
• the internal structure consisting of independent and juxtaposed conduits opening into a common part of hot water collection strengthens the resistance of the device to the water pressure and improves the water movement and thus the convection of the device.
• the independent and juxtaposed ducts open at their secondary end into a common portion of water heating.
• Another advantage of the device according to the invention is the rectangular section of the ducts.
• the rectangular section of ducts are juxtaposed which greatly limits the heat loss between the ducts.
• the rectangular section of the ducts is optimal so that the device has a larger volume of water in a predefined space.
• the perpendicular positioning of the heating means with respect to the ducts contributes to the proper convection of the water in the water heater and therefore to a better efficiency.
• the outer wall of at least one common portion advantageously overlaps the outer wall surrounding the ducts.
• This structure contributes to increasing the resistance of the device to the water pressure.
• the two common parts may comprise at least one plugable orifice adapted to receive the heating means.
• Another advantage of the invention is the possibility of using the device in different positions, depending on the external constraints.
