Does the top and bottom element heat at the same time on hot water heaters?

Only if they are controlled by the same thermostat. If there are two thermostats, they will operate independently.
Funny I was under the impression with probe in water to determine temperature one would have used an AQUA Stat

Name the types of heat exchangers used as super-heaters?
Water tube heat exchanger swimming pool, Coaxial heat exchanger for laser and stainless steel exchangers are some of the heat exchangers used as super-heaters.
Why do room heaters have polished reflector at the back of the heating element?
This protects the rest of the unit from heat. It's effectively an insulator.
What will happen if the heating element is near at the top of the kettle?
In that case, it would be less efficient. Hot water rises to the top, mixing the water (if the heating element is at the bottom). When it is at the top, the water won't mix as well, and more heat would be wasted.
Why does water heat up quickly if the heat is applied from the bottom?
Heat goes up
Portable heaters heat by way of?
Radiation.
How does glass help to heat water?
solar water heaters have glass plates to receive sunlight to heat water.
How many watts are edenpure heaters?
Edenpure heaters produce 1500 watts. It is an electric heater, which uses quartz heating element to generate heat.
Why is The heating element in a kettle is at the bottom explain why this is best place?
If the heating element was at the top and the kettle was not full, then you would not be able to heat water because the element would not be in the water. Thus the only place for the element is at the bottom. However, hot water is also less heavy than cold water, this means that heated water rises to the top and having the element at the bottom means that the water being heated is circulated and this is more efficient.
When an electric kettle is switched on it will take a few minutes to heat the water how does the element at the bottom of the kettle heat all of the water?
As water at the bottom is heated, it rises and cold water replaces it. That's heated and the cycle continues until all the water is at the same temperature.
Why is the element in a kettle at the bottom?
heat rises....
Do electric water heaters have pilot lights?
No, electric water heaters do not need a pilot light. The heating element is heated by an electric current (similar to the 'eye' on an electric stove or the heaters in a toaster). When the circuit is completed, electric current flows through the element, and it gets hot, and when the electricity is turned off, the element starts cooling. In a gas water heater, the pilot light is a flame, which is always burning. When it's time to heat up the water, the main gas valve is opened, and the pilot light ignites the gas, so that the main burner heats up.
What are immersion heaters used for?
Immersion heaters are used for heating water in a hot water tank. Immersion heaters are usually controlled by thermostat and they will heat your water to a set temperature for as long as you leave it on that setting, or you can have a timer set. It is usually an expensive way to heat water compared to central heating systems with hot water circuits.
Why do solar heaters use water?
Solar heaters are meant to heat the water for your house or in a pool, so you need water to heat it! The water runs through a system where it is put onto the roof of your house, for example, heated by the Sun and then stored or put into your pool.
Name the types of heat exchangers used as super-heaters?
Water tube heat exchanger swimming pool, Coaxial heat exchanger for laser and stainless steel exchangers are some of the heat exchangers used as super-heaters.
Do heaters produce heat or use heat?
Heaters use electricity to produce heat by resistance.
What is the purpose of a heat trap on water heaters?
to keep hot water from backing up into the cold water piping.
Can an ac element be run on DC?
DC voltage can be used to run almost any device utilizing an electric heating element, including resistive baseboard and electric water heaters. In these applications, electrical current flowing in a heating element produces heat due to resistance.
