The central electric hot water boiler is compact because the heating elements are immersed directly in the water that is being heated - like an electric kettle. For difficult installations, the boiler can be installed on a basement wall, hung from basement ceiling joists, in a closet, or under kitchen cabinets. 2, record 1, English, - electric%20hydronic%20boiler

Générateur de chaleur électrique (bouilloire) à eau chaude. Il est constitué d'une chaudière aux dimensions beaucoup plus petites que celles d'une chaudière à mazout. Une ou plusieurs résistances électriques sont immergées directement dans l'eau. [...] Dans un système à circulation forcée, une pompe de circulation assure le mouvement de l'eau dans les canalisations. 3, record 1, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A9lectrique%20%C3%A0%20eau%20chaude

générateur; chaudière: Certains auteurs semblent employer indifféremment ces termes, peu importe l'importance de l'appareil. Cependant, de façon générale, "générateur" serait réservé aux "appareils de chauffage de très grande importance"; dans d'autres cas, le terme "générateur", prendrait le sens général "d'appareil qui produit de la chaleur". 1, record 1, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A9lectrique%20%C3%A0%20eau%20chaude
