Boiler (Water Heating)

From Handwiki

The term boiler may refer to an appliance for heating water. Applications include water heating and central heating.

Operation

The boiler heats water to a temperature controlled by a thermostat. The water then flows (either by natural circulation or by a pump) to radiators in the rooms which are to be heated. Water also flows through a coil in the hot water tank to heat a separate mass of water for bathing, etc.
