  • the electric boiler comprises a main cold water inlet, a first and a second vessel arranged for heating water, a controller and a main hot water outlet.
  • the first vessel comprises a first inlet arranged for receiving cold water from the main cold water inlet, a first electric heating element (e.g. electrical resistance) arranged for heating the cold water, a first outlet arranged for supplying hot (heated) water to the main hot water outlet and a first shut off valve arranged for controlling the flow through the first outlet.

  • the controller is configured for controlling electric power delivery to the first electric heating element and the second electric heating element.
  • the electric boiler is configured for receiving single phase electric power having a maximum power rating of 5000 W or less.
  • the controller is further configured to supply the electric power to the first electric heating element and to the second electric heating element one at a time in order to heat the first vessel and the second vessel sequentially.
  • the electric boiler comprises a single (i.e. only one) electric connection interface (e.g. a plug or electric terminals for connecting an electric cable) for connecting (all components of) the electric boiler to the electric grid (mains power supply).
  • the electric connection interface is a single phase connection interface.
  • An electric boiler according to the invention comprising multiple vessels which are sequentially heated advantageously spreads out the electric power consumption for heating water to a certain temperature over a longer period of time.
  • This enables powering the boiler through a conventional (single phase) domestic electrical outlet.
  • a reservoir of energy is created in the form of heated water that can be supplied by the electric boiler in a short amount of time.
  • Such a boiler reduces the installation costs, while maintaining the fast and convenient operation of conventional boiler systems.
  • spreading the reservoir volume over multiple smaller vessels shortens the time required to heat up water contained in a single vessel to an operational temperature, which further enhances the convenience.
  • the controller of the electric boiler is further configured to control opening either one of the first shut off valve and the second shut off valve.
  • the shut off valves are motorized shut off valves.
  • the first vessel further comprises a first temperature sensor configured for determining a first water temperature of water contained in the first vessel, and wherein the controller is configured to switch the supply of power from the first heating element to the second heating element when the first water temperature reaches a predetermined threshold temperature.
  • the predetermined threshold temperature is near the boiling point as this provides the highest level of capacity, without requiring additional components or reinforcements that would be required for higher temperatures.
  • the threshold temperature lies between 60 and 100 degrees Celsius.
  • the threshold temperature is between 70°C and 99°C, or between 80°C and 96°C, and preferably between 90°C and 95°C.

  • the temperature sensor configured for determining the water temperature of water contained inside the vessel is preferably arranged at a side of the vessel opposite to the heating element. This ensures that the temperature that is sensed is in accordance with the temperature of the water contained in the vessel.
  • the vessel can have any shape, rectangular is preferred in light of its form factor, spherical is preferred in light of its uniformity of isolation and strength, and a vessel having a cylindrical shape offers the best balance between the two.
  • each vessel has a volume between 20 and 80 liters, more preferably between 30 and 60 liter, even more preferably between 40 and 50 liter.
  • a vessel with such a volume offers good performance in terms of the heating time required to reach the threshold temperature.
  • the heating element is preferably arranged in the middle of one of the sidewalls of the vessel such as an endcap of a vessel having a cylindrical shape, because this offers the best heating performance. Even more preferably, the heating element is arranged in a central region just below the geometrical center of one of the sidewalls of the vessel, such as an endcap of a vessel having a cylindrical shape, such that more space is available above the heating element than below to allow hot water to rise more easily.
  • At least one and preferably each of the first vessel and the second vessel and more preferably any further vessel comprises a permeable partitioning panel arranged inside the vessel for dividing a volume of the corresponding vessel in a first compartment and a second compartment.
  • a permeable partitioning panel is configured such that the first compartment comprises the corresponding inlet and the second compartment comprises the corresponding outlet.
  • a permeable partitioning panel projects inside the vessel, such as a baffle, and may comprise a single aperture for instance provided in a central area of the panel.
  • a permeable partitioning panel comprises a plurality of apertures provided in diverse locations dispersed over the panel, such that it reduces turbulent mixing of cold water entering the vessel with the hot water contained in the vessel while minimizing the obstruction of the flow by the permeable partitioning panel.
  • Such permeable partitioning panel for instance has an open area between 60% and 90% or preferably between 75% and 80%.
  • apertures of the plurality of apertures have a surface area of between 100mm 2 and 325mm 2 .
  • Such apertures may have a circular shape and are advantageously arranged to form a mesh.
  • a practical embodiment of such a permeable partitioning panel comprises a perforated plate having a same geometry and surface area as a cross section of the vessel (e.g. orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the vessel).
  • the permeable partitioning panel can alternatively be a meshed gauze.
  • the first or second compartment may comprise a temperature sensor and/ora heating element.
  • the temperature sensor is provided in the first compartment and the heating element is provided in the second compartment.
  • Such an arrangement is typically suitable for a vessel comprising a permeable partitioning panel allowing heat exchange (e.g. convection) between the first and the second compartment.

  • an (additional) temperature sensor and possibly a (an additional) heating element may be provided in the first compartment.
  • Such arrangement is typically suitable for a vessel comprising a permeable partitioning panel allowing low levels of heat exchange (e.g. convection, conduction, radiation) between the first and the second compartment. In such situations, this may improve heat exchange from the heating element to the cold water entering the vessel, since it increases a temperature difference between the heating element and the water contained in the first compartment.
