Provided is an exterior case for a hot water unit which can be produced in a simple operational process with high productivity and with low costs without environmental pollution even if a complex pattern or the like is formed, in which the overall design properties are favorable. There is provided an exterior case used for accommodating a hot water device for hot water production or hot water storage therein, and an ink jet printing layer representing at least one of letters, symbols, figures, and patterns is provided on a paint layer of a metal plate constituting the exterior case.

A heat distribution system, method and computer program product, including an unpressurized tank configured for holding a heat transfer fluid; and one or more submersible heat transfer fluid pumps configured to pump the heat transfer fluid to one or more heat load loops respectively connected to the one or more heat transfer fluid pumps.

A hot water storage device having a vessel includes a first section formed from a moulded material and a second section formed from a moulded material. An open end of the first section is sealingly engaged with an opposing open end of the second section to form the vessel. The first and second sections each have a generally cylindrical body portion and a closed end, comprising a head portion. The vessel includes a water inlet aperture moulded into the first or second section and a water outlet aperture moulded into the first or second section and wherein the inlet and outlet apertures are located on the body portion proximal to a tangent line between the body portion and the head portion.

An electric water heating apparatus includes a first electric water heater having a first tank adapted to hold a quantity of water and a first electric heating structure disposed within the first tank. The electric water heating apparatus further includes a second electric water heater having a second tank adapted to hold a quantity of water; and a second electric heating structure disposed within the second tank. The electric water heating apparatus further includes a control unit that is in electrical communication with the first electric heating structure and second electric heating structure, the control unit configured to prevent both the first electric heating structure and the second electric heating structure from being simultaneously operable.

Provided is a hot water barrel structure for a water dispenser, the hot water barrel structure including: a hot water barrel having a water reservoir therein; a partition plate provided in the hot water barrel and dividing the water reservoir into an upper water reservoir part and a lower water reservoir part; an inlet pipe supplying water that is to be heated to the lower water reservoir part of the hot water barrel; a heater provided at the hot water barrel and heating water introduced to the lower water reservoir part to produce hot water; and a hot water pipe provided at the upper water reservoir part of the hot water barrel.

An oil boiler includes an outer container having openings at opposite ends, a combustion chamber that covers an opening at an upper end of the outer container and in which a combustion reaction occurs, a lower cover that covers an opening at a lower end of the outer container, a plurality of flue tubes to heat heating water flowing in the outer container by guiding combustion gas, a burner including a fuel nozzle that sprays fuel, an air nozzle that injects air, and a spark plug that ignites a mixture of the fuel and the air, and a flame tube part that defines a tube space by surrounding a partial space in which the mixture is ignited, the flame tube part including a flame tube having an open lower end and a recirculation hole formed through the flame tube such that the combustion gas is introduced into the flame tube.

A water supply system includes a main water tank that is configured to store water and includes a heater to heat the stored water to close to but below a boiling temperature thereof, to provide main heated water.
