ADDITIONALLY HEATING DEVICE FOR WATER IN BATHTUB

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a heat value required to additionally heat the water in the bathtub in a short period of time by making up a heat accumulating tank with a heat accumulating material to accumulate the heat generated by an electric heater and a heat insulating material surrounding the same, and transmitting the heat stored in the heat accumulating material through a heat pipe to the water in the bathtub. CONSTITUTION:The heat accumulating tank 2 comporises a heat accumulating material 4 to accumulate the heat released from an electric heater 3 and a heat insulating material 5 surrounding the heat accumulating material 4. A heat pipe 6 which has a heat collecting part 6b on the side of the heat accumulating material 4 transmits the heat accumulated in the heat accumulating material 4 to the water in the bathtub 1 through the heat releasing part 6b. The heat pipe 6 has on its way a valve 7. By this arrangement, a heat value required to additionally heat the water in the bathtub can be provided in a short period of time without requiring much power consumption.
