Description:BACKGROUND
Field of the invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a water heating chamber and particularly to a water heating chamber equipped with a gas stove burner to utilize waste heat of the gas stove burner.
Description of Related Art
[002] Various processes involve emission of heat termed as waste heat that is produced by industrial sectors, commercial sectors, residential sectors, and so forth. Gas stove burner used in the residential sectors is one of a, major source of producing the waste heat. The heat produced by the gas stove burner during a cooking process is not utilized completely and gets wasted in an atmosphere of kitchens or into an outside environment through chimney. To recover the waste heat, various solutions have been disclosed in prior arts.
[003] Conventionally, the available solution is provided with a waste heat collector that is capable to utilize the waste heat to heat water stored in the waste heat collector. However, the existing solution needs an auxiliary heater to heat the water again as the waste heat collector is unable to preserve the heat for a longer period of time. This makes the existing solution less efficient and time consuming. Also, the requirement of the auxiliary heater makes the complete solution expensive.
[004] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced solution that can administer the aforementioned issues in a more efficient manner.
