A method and device for detecting the amount of limescale that accumulates in liquid heating devices, in particular for heating water. The method is capable of establishing, through simple temperature measurements, if the amount of limescale deposited on the heater element of a device for heating liquids is such as to jeopardize the correct operation thereof and provides the user with information on the need to clean the aforesaid heater.

Method and device for detecting the amount of limescale in liquid heating devices

An electric heater including a metal body, in which a first pipe and a second pipe are provided in the metal body. The first pipe and second pipe are mutually distinct so as to be crossed by two distinct flows of fluid to be heated. A first heating stretch, a second heating stretch and a third heating stretch are arranged in the metal body. The first pipe and the second pipe are arranged between the first heating stretch and the second heating stretch. The third heating stretch is proximal to the second pipe and distal from the first pipe. The second pipe is arranged between the first pipe and the third heating stretch.

Electric heater

A machine for dispensing hot beverages, e.g. coffee, comprising a liquid heater, in particular for heating water intended for human consumption, provided with a container, adapted to be at least partially filled with a first liquid to be heated, and a heating electric resistor arranged outside the container, in contact with the bottom of said container, so as to indirectly heat said first liquid through said bottom.
