Ever since the introduction of electric tea kettles a few decades ago, it has made boiling water very easy. In the old days, boiling water was done by putting a kettle on a stove and boiling it. Although these old kettles are good with boiling water, it requires effort and constant monitoring. They have no auto power switch to stop the boiling and no temperate control. Also, it can take at least eight or nine minutes to fully boil water.
The new electric tea kettles has a lot of features that the old fashioned kettles don’t have like, stopping automatically when it has finished boiling and an inbuilt coffee/tea maker function. This makes the water you boil taste better and without waiting for it to finish.
With the advancement in the technology, the market is flooded with various types of electric kettle flourished with unique features. Now a day, a kettle with a nice big handle for easy pouring, and gauges on both sides for easy filling is also available.
Kettles have an element at the bottom, which is heated up by the electric current connected to it. In order to hold the water, a canister is provided at the above portion of the heating element.
The power system for the electric kettle is same as in the electric range. The two main components to the electric kettle are a resistor and a thermostat. Resistor basically acts as the heating element of the appliance. As the kettle is turned on the current flows, that is opposed by the resistor. This current is dissipated in the form of heat that boils the water.
Thermostat as the temperature controlling device acts indirectly to the resistor. Also, the thermostat is further controlled by the transistor.
At time when the resistance has greater value, the flow of current reduces thereby reducing the current flow in the heating element. This causes the heating element to cool. Further the water also gets cooler. On the other hand, if the resistance has less value, more current flow through the thermostat and the transistor. Thus, you are provided with the warm water.
This is how, the entire process of water boiling and tea preparation is accomplished with the electric kettle.
