  • the reservoir has a bottom, a top, and an inlet connected to the water mains pipe connector for letting fresh water into the reservoir.
  • the inlet is provided at the bottom portion of the reservoir.
  • the reservoir furthermore has a water outlet provided at the upper portion of the reservoir, which is connectable to a tap.
  • An electric water heating element is provided in the lower region of the water reservoir above the inlet to heat the water.
  • the invention relates to the operation of the apparatus, in particular when boiling water is allowed to flow through the boiling water tap.
  • a known apparatus for dispensing boiling water boiling water is allowed to flow through the boiling water tap upon operation of a switch.
  • an apparatus as in claim 1 is provided.
  • a security code defines whether or not boiling water is allowed to flow through the boiling water tap.
  • a security code is defined by a combination of sequence and time of operating the switch.
  • the user of the apparatus defines the security code.
  • the operating module comprises an electronic module defining the following security code: one short press on the switch, followed by pressing the switch over 0,5 seconds allows the flow of boiling water.
  • This security code prevents the flow of boiling water when the user or children play with the switch.
  • An alternative security code can be two short presses on the switch, followed by pressing the switch over 0,5 seconds to allow the flow of boiling water.
  • Yet an alternative, less safe security code can be pressing the switch for over 0,5 seconds.
  • the electronic module of the operating module is programmed such that when boiling water is allowed to flow, only a small amount of water is allowed to flow.
  • the electronic module may be programmed such that when the switch is pressed for over 10 seconds, the flow of boiling water is continuous. The flow of boiling water may be stopped by a short press on the switch, or alternatively after 3 minutes. Then an amount of 6 to 7 litres of boiling water may have flown though the boiling water tap.
  • the electronic module when the electronic module is set such that when boiling water is allowed to flow, only a small amount of water is allowed to flow, the electronic module is programmed such that when the switch is pressed within 2 seconds after the flow has ended, a small amount of boiling water is allowed to flow without re-entering the security code.
  • the reservoir discussed here can be integrated in an apparatus specifically adapted for providing boiling water only, e.g. to be dispensed via a water boiling tap arranged at the kitchen sink, but can also be integrated in an apparatus that not only provides boiling water but also hot water, e.g. to be supplied to a further hot and cold water tap arranged at the kitchen sink.
  • the apparatus comprises a water mains pipe connector for connecting the apparatus to a water mains pipe (not shown in figures 1-11 ).

  • An electric water heating element 10 is provided in the lower portion of the water reservoir 1 above the inlet 4.
  • the electric water heating element 10 is of a substantially horizontal lay-out. Its body is generally planar and extends in a horizontal plane, so at right angles to the main vertical axis of the reservoir 1.
  • the heating element 10 is of a substantially spiralling construction, the coils of the spiral being located in a common horizontal plane.

  • the reservoir 1 is made of steel, e.g. stainless steel.
  • the reservoir 1 is composed of a top element 3a, a bottom element 2a and a tubular central element 1 a, preferably welded together, the reservoir effectively being closed apart from the inlet 4 and outlet 5.
  • the water heating element 10 is mounted here in the bottom element 2a, preferably such that the top of the heating element 10 is level with the top of the bottom element 2a of the reservoir. This facilitates to assembly of the reservoir 1.
  • the inlet 4 of the reservoir 1 is associated with a water inlet distributor 4a arranged below the heating element 10 and having one or more water distributing openings allowing the inflow of water in a generally radial direction into the reservoir 1.

  • this apparatus of figure 12 is designed solely for dispensing boiling water, preferably for use with a boiling water tap, e.g. mounted at a kitchen sink.
  • the apparatus comprises a pressure vessel reservoir 101 having a cold water inlet 102 at the bottom end thereof that is connected to a water mains pipe connector 113 via a pipe 112.
  • the reservoir also has an outlet 103 provided at an upper portion of the vessel 101.

  • the reservoir 101 is completely filled with water.
  • the water in the reservoir 101 is preferably heated to a temperature above the atmospheric boiling point of water, e.g. to 110 - 106 °C. Due to this relative low overheated water the steam production reaching atmospheric pressure is reduced. For example, when the temperature is 115 °C, per litre water one litre of steam is formed after expansion. At 105°C, this is only 30%. In other words, steam formation reduces a factor 3.
  • an outlet pipe element 109 is provided that is connected to the outlet 103, which pipe element 109 here is of a U-shape and bends upwards towards the top of the pressure vessel 101.

  • the switch 151 is also visible in fig. 16a .
  • valves 140, 141 e.g. electromagnetic valves, are provided in parallel.
  • the parallel valves 140, 141 allow a user of the tap 150 to choose between two volumetric flows depending on the application. For instance, if a small volumetric flow is required, e.g. to fill a cup, only one of the valves is opened, but in case a larger volume flow is required, e.g. to fill a tea kettle or cooking pan, both valves are opened.
  • the apparatus includes control electronics for the parallel valves 140, 141 in the boiling water pipe 110,111 such that first operation of the switch on the tap 150 cause one valve 140 to open, and such that the second valve 141 also opens when the switch is operated beyond a predetermined time, e.g. after operating, e.g. depressing, the switch for more than 10 seconds.
  • a filter 142 As is preferred in the boiling water pipe 110, 111 leading to the tap 150, outside of the reservoir 101, a filter 142, preferably exchangeable, is provided to filter the boiling water.
  • the advantage of providing this filter 142 outside the pressure vessel reservoir 101 is that the filter 142 can be easily replaced by a non-technically skilled person.

  • a temperature sensor 106 is positioned inside the tubular wall portion 148 to measure a water temperature in the vessel 101 just above the heating element 104.
  • the tubular wall portion 148 may be a tube with one open end and one closed end, said closed end being inserted through an opening of the reservoir 101 and then attaching the open end to the wall of the reservoir by for instance welding.
  • a second temperature sensor 107 is mounted in this embodiment to the outside of the wall of the reservoir 101 to measure a water temperature in the reservoir at the top.
  • the electric water heating element 104 is controlled by an electronic control system 155 on the basis of the one or more temperature sensors 106, 107, preferably with a suitable thermostat.

  • the polymer spout has 5-15, preferably 7-10 holes.
  • FIG 13 a more elaborate version of the apparatus according to the invention is shown schematically.
