A system to heat liquids. A liquid, such as water, is heated by microwave energy. A housing assembly (20) comprises a plurality of magnetrons (62; 64; 66), which may be arranged in a vertical manner. Conduit (50), which allows the water to flow therethrough, is secured within the housing assembly (20). Incoming cold water enters the housing assembly (20) through a first one-way valve (36) and the conduit (50). The conduit (50) coils within the housing assembly (20) and the water is heated within the conduit (50) by the magnetrons (62; 64; 66) when producing microwave energy. Outgoing hot water exits the housing assembly (20) through the conduit (50) and a second one-way valve (48), which accommodates the flow of hot water therethrough. The magnetrons (62; 64; 66) are controlled by thermostats (42; 44; 46), which maintain an outgoing water temperature at a predetermined level. |
