Abstract

The motor-driven water pump boiler for a water circulating mattress generates noise and vibration as it supplies a large water flow rate. A non-pump boiler can reduce such noise and vibration, however, the water circulation flow rate becomes lesser than that in motor-driven water pump boilers, and a large temperature deviation occurs between the inlet and the outlet of the mattress. In this research, a new non-pump boiler for water circulating mattress is developed and its performance is experimentally validated and compared with the existing non-pump boilers. The experimental results show that temperature response time is improved and temperature deviation is reduced.
