Water heating is a thermodynamic process that uses an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water include cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, hot water and water heated to steam have many uses.
A boiler and a water heater, while similar in function, are not identical. Essentially, a water heater is a storage tank with heated tubes that keep the water at a certain temperature. When hot water is needed, the unit siphons hot water from the top of the heater.
