Liquid heating

Immersion heater

An electrical resistance heating element enclosed in a tube and inserted into the water (or other fluid) being heated is what makes up an immersion heater. To prevent corrosion and make maintenance easier, the heating element can either be put inside a metal conduit or injected directly into the liquid. Since they are designed to be used just temporarily and under the supervision of an operator, portable immersion heaters might not feature a control thermostat.

Permanently placed heating components in an insulated hot water tank may be used for home hot water delivery or industrial process hot water, with the temperature being controlled by a thermostat. Few kilowatts is the maximum rating for household appliances. A commercial water heater may have a 2000 kilowatt capacity. Whenever off-peak electric tariffs are offered, permanently placed heating components in an insulated hot water tank may be used for home hot water delivery or industrial process hot water, with the temperature being controlled by a thermostat. Few kilowatts is the maximum rating for household appliances. A commercial water heater may have a 2000 kilowatt capacity. Hot water can be kept on hand for use when necessary and stored when off-peak electric power rates are available.


An immersion heater (shielded or naked) that is activated with the flow of water is also used in electric showers and tankless heaters. To provide various heating levels, a collection of independent heaters can be switched. Tankless heaters and electric showers often consume between 3 and 10.5 kilowatts.


The heating element surface may develop a hard scale from minerals present in the water supply that precipitated out of solution, or the minerals may settle to the bottom of the tank and obstruct water flow. Periodic clearance of accumulated scale and silt may be necessary for maintaining water heating equipment. Scale production can be decreased in areas with water supplies that are known to be heavily mineralized by employing low-wattage heating elements.

Circulation heaters

Heating elements are immediately inserted into a "shell side" medium in circulation heaters, also known as "direct electric heat exchangers" (DEHE). Electric circulation heaters are 100% efficient because all of the heat they produce is delivered into the medium. In industrial operations, liquids and gases are heated using direct electric heat exchangers, sometimes known as "circulation heaters."


Electrode heater

Since there is no wire-wound resistance in an electrode heater, the liquid itself serves as the resistance. Because of the inherent risks, electrode heaters are subject to stringent restrictions.

Oil prices rose above $75, with US stocks in focus

Oil prices rose above $75 in international markets on Friday, boosted by signs of a strengthening US economy and a sharp drop in inventories ahead of further supply cuts from Saudi Arabia.  On the London market, the price of a barrel for delivery in September was 82 cents higher in the afternoon than at the close of trading yesterday and amounted to $75.33. Barrels for August delivery traded 52 cents higher at $74.86. On the American market, the price of a barrel increased by 86 cents, to 70.72 dollars.  Traders were encouraged by slightly increased estimates of US economic growth in the first quarter and a sharp fall in inventories last week, by as much as 9.6 million barrels.  The US economy grew by 1.8% in the first quarter, according to the Commerce Department, compared to the same period last year, 0.2 percentage points stronger than previous estimates showed. At the end of 2022, it increased by 0.9 percent.  Prices were also supported by Saudi Arabia's an...

Advantages and disadvantages of solar power energy

The technology that is utilized to collect and convert solar energy is known as solar energy. In 2011, less than 0.1 percent of the world's energy consumption was met by the technology. Many people are familiar with 'photovoltaic cells,' often known as solar panels, which are used in items like spacecraft, roofs, and handheld calculators. Semiconductor materials, similar to those used in computer chips, are used to make the cells. Electrons are dislodged from their atoms when sunlight strikes the cells. The cell produces electricity when the electrons move through it. Solar-thermal power plants use a variety of methods to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source on a much bigger scale. The heat is then utilized to boil water, which powers a steam turbine to produce electricity in a manner similar to that of coal and nuclear power plants and serve thousands of people with electricity. In one method, sunlight is focused on an oil pipe that passes through the center o...

Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced". AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations.  The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google.  Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment".  During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question.  Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests.  Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself.  It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard...
