Japanese Hot Water Bottle [Yutanpo Japan Import] Size L

Product Information

This is a great idea. Here in Washington, DC, I see restaurants serving people outdoors on the streets during the winter, and they use those awful space heaters. They consume and enormous amount of energy and issue pollutants, and they don’t even do a good job. HWB would be far more useful.

This is one of the most well-liked Japanese brand water bottle series. Interestingly, though, Zojirushi refers to its products as “mugs" and not “bottles.” I’ve seen PCMs used in thermal batteries, to store energy from electric (or heat pump) heating at times when electricity is cheap. They can also be a very good improvement to a hot water tank, for example for residential solar thermal applications. Another application I’ve seen is using them as additional thermal mass to buffer out hot days and cold nights. Using an electric kettle – or a pot on the cookstove – makes it easy to reuse the same water over and over again, but it faces some problems too. First, if your electric kettle does not come with a programmable water temperature, you need to make sure the water does not get too hot. I solve this by dipping the probe of a digital thermometer in the kettle while warming the water. Second, if you reheat the water from rubber bottles, the kettle (or pot) can no longer be used to heat water for human consumption because it will taste bad. So, either you use a separate kettle for use with hot water bottles, or you warm the water in the only household kettle and discard it after use. Even a slightly lower shower frequency easily provides you with the water and energy for continuous hot water bottle use.One could take this idea even further and envision a public infrastructure for refilling hot water bottles, not just on bar terraces but in multiple locations such as schools, offices, and public buildings. 4 People could gather around the hot water dispenser just like they gather around the water cooler. There are now also larger hot water bottles available, which hold up to three litres of water or more. Finally, the most successful novelty has the form of a hot dog: it’s a hot water bottle 80 centimetres long. It can be tied around the waist but is just as practical as a companion on the couch or in the bed. It can easily be shared by two people and its shape makes it luxuriously comfortable. It holds up to two litres of water. Hot water bottles can be combined with a blanket, which further increases thermal comfort. If I put a blanket over the lower part of my body when seated at my desk, it traps the heat from the bottles and keeps them warm for longer. The first two are rather low to the ground – people sit on the floor – while the latter fits the common seat height in the Western world. It’s easy to build such a heating arrangement – and a few hot water bottles are the ultimate heat source for it. Hot water bottles outdoors & on the move

Too hot water can hurt you in several ways. First, there’s always a chance you spill water on your hands while filling the bottle. Second, a rubber or plastic hot water bottle can start leaking, either through the cap or through the seams. Reading your article about water bottles, a possible improvement occured to me. Instead of using water, one could use a phase change material (PCM) instead. These store thermal energy as the lattent heat of fusion of the phase change from liquid to solid. Examples of these are the sodium acetate hydrate used in hand warmers, paraffin (wax) or even water/ice for cooling needs. A lot of these materials have energy densities that are seriously competitive (or even exceed) the energy release by a water bottle that is cooling down. They however have one major advantage: since most of the energy is released during the phase change, these materials will release heat at a constant temperature (melting temperature). Water releases lots of energy at first (at less safe temperatures) but the rate decreases exponentially as the temperature decreases (it’s literally an exponential decay function). This means that PCMs could provide a significant improvement to water bottles, by releasing energy at a more consistent, safer and more useful temperature. Finally, drinking more water may help you feel fuller and make you eat fewer overall calories from food. First, if you replace sugar-sweetened beverages like fruit juice or soda with water, your calorie intake is automatically decreased — potentially by several hundred calories per day.Tiger's screw lid bottles are made of SUS304, which is durable and has great corrosion resistance. Hence, they can accompany you for a long time.

You can go one more step further and put a large blanket over the desk or table and then put your legs underneath it. Such heating arrangements have been used in different parts of the world, usually with hot coals as the heat storage medium. Examples are the Japanese “kotatsu”, the Middle-Eastern “korsi”, and the Spanish “brasero de picon”. If you are looking for a tabletop item, this is the hot water bottle Japanese brand to consider. Thermos offers these stainless mugs that come with a lid and a capacity of 350mL.

(2009 - 2011). Drink four to five 3/4-cup (160-ml) glasses of room-temperature water on an empty stomach upon waking and before brushing your teeth, and wait another 45 minutes before eating breakfast.According to practitioners, Japanese water therapy must be done for different periods to treat different conditions. Here are some examples: The included screw-type lid secures tightly to help shield against spillage, but it is still easy to attach and detach. Using an electric kettle – or a pot on the cookstove – makes it easy to reuse the same water over and over again, but it faces some problems too. First, if your electric kettle does not come with a programmable water temperature, you need to make sure the water does not get too hot. I solve this by dipping the probe of a digital thermometer in the kettle while warming the water.

The rather short and mild winters here in Barcelona allow me to use hot water bottles as the only heating system because it rarely gets colder than 12°C (54°F) in my unheated apartment.

It involves drinking room-temperature or warm water on an empty stomach after waking to cleanse the digestive system and regulate gut health, which — according to proponents — can heal a variety of conditions. Hot water is a safer heat storage medium than hot coals, but it is not without its risks and hot water bottles need to be used carefully. They carry the instruction not to use boiling water, which is very sound advice, but hot water doesn’t need to boil to be dangerous. Water above a temperature of 60°C (140°F) can scald you and lead to very serious injuries. At each meal, eat only for 15 minutes, and wait at least 2 hours before eating or drinking anything else. I agree with the overall idea that we can save a lot of energy by reducing the temperature at which we heat buildings, without sacrificing comfort. The arrangements described above only work for people who stay in one place. The need for an external heat source decreases when we move around and are physically active, because our body produces more heat.Imagine a personal heating system that works indoors as well as outdoors, can be taken anywhere, requires little energy, and is independent of any infrastructure. It exists – and is hundreds of years old. The hot water bottle could save a great deal of energy and money without sacrificing thermal comfort. The use of metal and ceramic hand warmers has a long tradition in China and Japan. The Japanese offered guests a small roundish ceramic pot with fuel inside, called a “te-aburi”. Copper or bronze box-shaped hand warmers a few inches across, often with perforations and carrying handles, were called “shou lu” in China. Image in the public domain.

Their heat retention is above 67 degrees Celsius and cold retention is below 8 degrees Celsius. Another way to investigate the energy savings potential of the hot water bottle is to calculate how much energy it takes to prepare one and compare that to the energy use of a central heating system. Because rubber or PVC bottles can only be filled up to two-thirds for safe and comfortable use, I assume a somewhat larger model – 3 L – which can hold two litres of water in practice. This makes the calculation also valid for containers that can be filled completely, such as the Japanese yutampo. It takes 4,200 joule to raise the temperature of 1 litre of water by 1°C, meaning that heating two litres of water from 10°C to 60°C requires 420 kilojoule or 116.7 watt-hours. Even if the water is not reused for other purposes (such as watering the plants) the waste is quite limited. The average shower consumes enough water to fill 37 hot water bottles. Likewise, the energy use of the average shower corresponds to the energy use for heating 17 hot water bottles (which use water with a higher temperature than a shower). Consequently, even a slightly lower shower frequency easily provides you with the water and energy for continuous hot water bottle use.
