<p>There is provided a heating apparatus (2) for heating a fluid. In one aspect, the apparatus (2) comprises a chamber (10) arranged for accommodating a volume of fluid therein and a fluid supply means (15) through which fluid may enter the chamber (10). The heating apparatus (2) further comprises a heating system arranged for heating fluid accommodated within the chamber (10), and, one or more fluid circuits arranged so as to provide fluid communication between at least two regions of the chamber (10) so that, when in use, the thermal differential between the fluid of said regions facilitates one or more thermal convection circuits which, at least in part, promotes the flow of fluid about at least one of the or each fluid circuits.</p> |
