What is a thermal sweat and why is it purchased to replace a teapot?

Every day, new electrical appliances appear on the household goods market, designed to facilitate the work of the housewife and make everyday life more comfortable. Thermopot is a device for heating water, combining the functions of a thermos and a kettle. If the house often needs drinking hot water, the most irreplaceable thing in the household will be a thermal sweat. After all, it will not only heat a large volume of water to the desired temperature, but will also keep the liquid hot for a long time.

How is the thermal sweat arranged?

Externally, the device resembles a large kettle without a spout, on the cover of which there are control buttons and a nozzle for supplying water. The thermal sweat device is quite simple: in a case made of stainless steel, glass or plastic, there is a heating element, which can be used as a disk or a spiral. Inside the device is a flask for water. Usually it has a volume of 3 to 5 liters, but there are also more capacious devices that can heat 8 liters of liquid. The flask is made of metal or high-strength glass, resistant to deposits of abrasive substances. To keep the water in the flask hot, metal or glass is coated with a special heat-insulating material. More expensive models are equipped with filters.

Using special control buttons, you can select the temperature of water heating. The device will inform about readiness by a sound signal. It remains only to substitute the cup under the nozzle and press the feed button. Neither tilt, nor turn over, nor raise the thermal sweat. He always stays upright.

Advantages of a thermal sweat over a kettle

Like any other household electrical appliance, thermal sweat has its pros and cons.

Compared with a conventional electric kettle, a thermal sweat has a number of indisputable advantages:

• Volume. Even the smallest thermopod is larger than a standard kettle. The new device is designed for a volume of 3 to 8 liters, while electric kettles can hold no more than 2 liters of water.
• Save energy and time. In a thermal sweat, water is heated once a day, after which the temperature of the liquid is maintained in a given range. The main thing is not to disconnect the appliance from the network, and hot water will always be at hand. The device saves not only time, but also energy. After all, now you don’t have to turn on the kettle a hundred times a day and wait until the water boils every time you want to drink tea or prepare milk food for the child. And to maintain the “thermos” mode, only 100 W of energy per hour is spent.
• Multifunctionality. The innovative device has up to 5 heating modes, each of which has its own temperature. Using a teapot, it is practically impossible to heat the liquid to a specific temperature, for example, + 40 ° C, which is very important when brewing special types of tea. Young parents, who often need hot water for preparing baby food, will also appreciate the new device.
• Security. Undoubtedly, a thermal sweat is much safer than a kettle. When pouring water, it does not have to be lifted and tilted, so the risk of burning yourself or spilling boiling water on yourself is much lower. In addition, the innovative device is equipped with many protective functions that block the operation of the device when an inattentive user intervenes. The body of the device does not heat up, so it is impossible to burn yourself.
• Convenient use. In order to pour hot water, just press the special button and substitute the dishes. Some models are equipped with valves for dispensing water. After touching the bottom of the cup to such a valve, the pump is activated, and the liquid enters the tank. Such an electrical appliance is very necessary and convenient for children, feeble old people, sick and disabled people.

Thermopots consume less energy, and therefore the power of these devices is slightly less compared to kettles. To warm 5 liters of water in a thermal sweat, it will take at least 30 minutes. This is not very convenient when you rush to work in the morning or you need to send your child to kindergarten. The cost of a new development is much higher than a conventional kettle. If a teapot can be bought for 500 rubles, then a thermal sweat will cost from 3 to 12 thousand.

What to look for when choosing?

When choosing a thermal sweat, you need to pay attention to the characteristics and features of the models. Otherwise, it would seem that a convenient and useful appliance may turn into an unnecessary thing, which is idle in the kitchen, takes up space, and when turned on, consumes a lot of energy.

Security

Like all mains powered devices, thermal flux carries a potential hazard. Therefore, when buying, first of all, you need to pay attention to the security system developed by the manufacturer.

In a quality device, the following functions and locks should be provided:

• from overheating;
• from unauthorized inclusion;
• from opening the lid when the device is on and when it falls;
• from switching on with insufficient fluid.

Before you start using this heater, you must read the instructions. Well, if all the inscriptions on the case of the device are printed in large print in Russian.

Temperature

Each device provides from 1 to 5 temperature conditions. The more of them, the higher the cost of the device. In addition, the models differ in the time interval during which the water is heated. The continuous operation time can be from 3 to 12 hours, after which the appliance is turned off, and only a person can turn it on.

Materials

The case of a thermal sweat is made of metal, glass, ceramics or high-quality plastic. The metal case is the most reliable and durable, therefore, devices made of this material are preferable than glass or plastic. Plastic devices are valued lower, as they are more prone to deformation, and when released, produce an unpleasant odor. The most aesthetic and environmentally friendly are models with a housing made of glass or ceramic.

The flask into which the liquid is poured is made of stainless metal or heavy-duty glass. These materials do not react with boiling water. In order not to damage the inner surface of the flask, it must be cleaned with special detergents.

TEN

Convenience of cleaning and durability of the thermal sweat also depends on the type of heating element, which can be open or closed. Open TEN has the form of a spiral. To clean this part from scale, it is necessary to boil water with acid, while the closed disk element does not form scale and does not require cleaning.

water pump

When buying a miracle kettle, you need to pay attention to the pump. This device is mechanical and electrical. In the first case, water is produced by manually pressing the large button located on the lid of the device, which requires some effort. To activate the electric pump, just click on the special button on the control panel.

Filter

The presence of a cleaning filter is an important part that should not be overlooked when choosing an electrical appliance. The filter not only purifies the water, but also reduces the formation of scale inside the device, thereby extending the service life. Devices without a filter are much cheaper, but then you only have to use purified water.

Power

The more power the device, the faster the water will boil.At a maximum power of 1000 watts, a five-liter thermopot will boil in 20 minutes, after which it will be possible to use hot water for 10-12 hours. The most economical device is considered to be with high heating power and low energy consumption for maintaining temperature.

Additional functions

Comfortable use of the appliance is provided by additional functions provided by the manufacturer.

• You can find out about the end of the program by a sound signal.
• The delayed start feature allows you to turn on the device at the right time.
• The function of self-cleaning the device from scale is provided.
• A rotating platform allows you to pour tea without getting up.

For a hospitable family or young parents, a thermal sweat will become a real helper in the kitchen. Indeed, with this device, hot water will always be at hand.
