A hot water generator, suitable for example for supplying heated water to a hotel, comprises a heating compartment 12, a storage compartment 10 and a mixing compartment 11. Water is heated by heat transfer from steam as the water passes through a coil 15 in the heating compartment 12, and is then stored in the storage compartment 10. The steam input valve 16 is controlled in response to a thermostat 25, the element of which is subjected to a stream of water. This stream consists of mixed samples of cold feed water passing through a valve 28 and water taken directly after passing through the heating coil, via the pipe 27. The mixing compartment 11 may be below the heating compartment 12. <IMAGE> |
