Product Information

As early as the 1500s, people started to use all kinds of portable containers filled with hot coals from the fire. These were used as foot warmers, hand warmers, and bed warmers. [3] Most were made of metal, either brass or copper, and placed inside wooden or ceramic enclosures to prevent skin burns. Over time, hot coals were replaced by hot water, which is a cleaner and safer heat storage medium.

For example, it was common for the whole family to sleep together in the same bed – and this included potential visitors. 1 People also took advantage of the heat from animals – “hot water bottles” with a standard fur cover.

The United Kingdom defined British Standards for hot-water bottles to regulate their manufacture and sale as well as to ensure their compliance with all safety standards. The British Standards BS 1970 and BS 1970:2012 (updated version) define, for instance, the bottles’ filling characteristics, safety instructions, allowed materials and components as well as testing methods such as tensile tests for PVC bottles. [10] Windows, even when double or triple-glazed get some of the highest heat losses to the outside. In the night (which is most of the 24 hours in winter), they don’t even provide heat input through sunlight. One can increase their insulation value by using curtains, but this is at best a small improvement. However, I have recently found out about these so-called window “quilts” or “blankets”, to cover windows with at night. These can be made d.i.y. or there are a number of commercial products available. There are a number of variants of these, but their function is similar: they fit tightly against the window surface, preventing air circulation behind them (unlike curtains), while providing very little in terms of heat conduction through their surface. The performance numbers I’ve seen online suggests that they can bring a single-glazed window to the performance of a double or triple-glazed window, at a very low price. For each pull cord, press the wool strips in half lengthwise, fold the two long edges into the center of the strip, and stitch together the open edges and along the ends. Snap a safety pin through one end of a pull cord and work it through the fabric channel from one side to the other, leaving ends hanging out on both sides Repeat, working the second pull cord through the fabric channel on the second side. Tie the ends of the two pull cords together on each side, using square knots Tada! You just made a cover for a Japanese hot water bottle. Stay warm, my friend! I live in Melbourne, Australia.

Individuals may also find that regularly replacing some of the water with hotter water helps prevent the product from cooling down. When should you throw out a hot water bottle? Unsurprisingly, there’s little – or actually no – academic research into the energy savings potential of hot water bottles. Instead, in recent years scientists have investigated more sophisticated personal heating devices such as electrically heated desks and seats, radiant heat bulbs, or battery-powered heat pillows. 5 6 7 Metal hot water bottles may not be as common as their plastic or rubber counterparts, but they’re perfect for heating your baby’s bed just before bedtime!

Also stop stitching twice, at the side seams, to leave openings for the pull cords. 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.
