摘要：Water heaters and boilers are important equipment’s due to theiruse in almost all process manufacturingindustries and for domestic use as in environmental control systems for houses, hospitals, and schoolsor in other facilitythat require heat. This paper looks at performance of a thin shell helical water heater designed to boil 200 litres (55 gal)water for students at the University of Egerton in Kenya.The source of heat channelled to the thin tube heat exchanger is from heat recovered from several electriccoils. It istherefore important that the heater performance is optimal to ensure large volumes of water is boiled within the shortesttime possible. Egerton university kitchen runs 24hrs for weeks with each kitchen having 6 stoves each having 4 electriccooking coils, radiated heat recovered from a set of 4 coils will be channelled to boil 200 litres of water
