Abstract
Both the type of premises served with hot water and the nature of the fuel used will have an influence on the method employed for hot water generation.1 The methods of generation may be listed as follows:
-
(a)
by using electric immersion heaters;2
-
(b)
by using boilers — gas,3 oil, or solid fuel fired;
-
(c)
by using gas heaters;4
