2. Heating element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

   Radiative heating elements (heat lamps) are high-powered incandescent lamps that run at less than maximum power to radiate mostly infrared instead of visible light. These are usually found in radiant space heaters and food warmers, taking either a long, tubular form or an R40 reflector-lamp form. The reflector lamp style is often tinted red to ...

3. Water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

   For older houses where the water heater is part of the space heating boiler, and plumbing codes allow, some plumbers install an automatic gas shutoff (such as the "Watts 210") in addition to a TPR valve. When the device senses that the temperature reaches 99 °C (210 °F), it shuts off the gas supply and prevents further heating.

4. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

   A hybrid water heater is a water heating system that integrates technology traits from both the tank-type water heaters and the tankless water heaters. [6] It maintains water pressure and consistent supply of hot water across multiple hot water applications, and like its tankless cousins, it is efficient and can supply a continuous flow of hot ...

5. Storage water heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_water_heater

   Solar heat is clean and renewable. This is the most modern system. Increasingly, solar powered water heaters are being used. Their solar thermal collectors are installed outside dwellings, typically on the roof or walls or nearby, and the potable hot water storage tank is typically a pre-existing or new conventional water heater, or a water heater specifically designed for solar thermal.

6. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

   When a solar water heating and hot-water central heating system are used together, solar heat will either be concentrated in a pre-heating tank that feeds into the tank heated by the central heating, or the solar heat exchanger will replace the lower heating element and the upper element will remain to provide for supplemental heat. However ...

7. Electric heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

   Industrial water heaters may reach 2000 kilowatts. Where off-peak electric power rates are available, hot water may be stored to use when required. Minerals present in the water supply may precipitate out of solution and form a hard scale on the heating element surface, or may fall to the bottom of the tank and clog water flow.
