Abstract
Due to the increase of electricity prices in South Africa and the World, there exists the need for energy efficient water heating systems. The authors of this paper conducted a literature study on existing water heating systems. The study shows that there is a possibility of designing more efficient water heating system at lower cost. An in-line water heating system for industrial applications was designed and tested. Before the system was designed a Finite Element Method
analysis of the system was carried out to predict the systems’ pressure and temperature.
During a physical model test the energy consumption was measured and compared to a conventional storage water heating system. The designed in-line water heating system is shown to be more energy efficient than the conventional storage water heating system. It also had a variety of advantages such as: size, adaptability to a variety of locations, and robustness
