Home > Winners > #51324




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Loop

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Water Heater

INSPIRATION:
The design is created as a part of the academic project. The brief created was to design a system to heat water for bathing, not to design a heater. Researches showed the potential of microwave in heating water and the methods to make it efficient. Considering the aspects of microwave and architectural provisions for water heater, the design and form is developed . The primary motive was to create a unique and efficient way to heat water for bathing in an instant.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Loop is an instant water heater which heats water just up to the bathing temperature range, avoiding the need of a mixer. It also saves a lot of energy by heating just the right amount of water to right temperature unlike conventional tank heater which heats same water over and over again. Microwave heating is used to heat water in mere seconds. Sensors ensure heating of water only when the water is flowing through the system, so no overheating. The compact loop design is just 300mm x 200mm.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
LOOP can be connected to electrical system like an electric bulb without plug and cable. The temperature can be controlled using the knob at the bottom of the longer hand. It allows three types of temperature control: Hot, Warm & Normal water. This is because comfortable bathing temperature of any person is felt, not measured. This perfect bathing temperature avoids the need of a Mixer, thereby saving a lot of energy.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in July 2016 in Department of Industrial Design, School of Planning and Architecture New Delhi, India and finished in October 2016

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Home Appliances Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
The technology used is the energy absorption by water molecules when subjected to microwave radiation. Aluminium can be used as the main body of the product. sufficient water proofing, heat as well as flow sensors, magnetron and required accessories can be used. The inherent property of microwaves to heat water is used in the design making it an efficient heating system.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
product is around 300mm in height and 200mm across.

TAGS:
Instant water heater, Microwave heating, Perfect bathing Temperature, sustainable geyser, energy efficient

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The aim of project was to design a product that gives hot water for uninterrupted and comfortable bathing experience. The idea was to create a new innovative method of water heating for bathing, also to eliminate the storage tank and introduce an instant water heating technique which would save both time and energy.

CHALLENGE:
To identify a suitable, energy efficient and instant method of water heating unlike the traditional systems.
