Abstract

L'invention concerne des bouilloires et des pots à eau chaude électriques sans fil dotés d'éléments chauffants planaires (3), d'un capteur de vapeur (5) et d'une ou de plusieurs commandes de protection en cas de température excessive d'un élément (4) logés dans un compartiment (2) au dessous de l'élément chauffant. Le problème rencontré avec lesdits appareils réside dans le fait que la vapeur s'échappant du capteur de vapeur se condense sur la surface de l'unité de base de l'appareil, formant ainsi une flaque et amenant l'utilisateur de l'appareil à en conclure que le récipient présente une fuite. Pour éviter cela, selon l'invention, l'appareil permet à la vapeur de sortir sur les côtés par le fond de la bouilloire/du pot, plutôt que vers le bas, ce qui est habituellement le cas.
