Description
As an electrical appliance, leakage of electricity is always the issue of most concern because it could be fatal. Getting shocked through direct contact of the surface of a heater is troublesome, but incidences of this nature are seldom covered in media because heaters are usually installed in “safe” corners far away from our daily activities. In fact, most lethal accidences are due to leakage through the running water.An induction water heater will be developed in the proposal. Its edge of competition in the global market are triple protection from electrical shock, fast response, precision in temperature control, stable water flow at a sub-boiling temperature, energy efficiency, environmentally friendliness, versatility, compactness, robustness, durability, longevity, ease in installation, user friendliness, ease in production, and cost effectiveness.Induction Water Heater as:- a standalone appliance or- a critical component in a large electrical applianceTargeted Usage:Hand WasherTea MakerWarm Water for BabiesCoffee MakerDetail(s)
