Product Information

With all of its wonderful delights, Bryan’s 150-year-old home has no central heating. For my one-night stay, Bryan sent me upstairs with two Japanese hot water bottles ( yutanpo) filled with boiling water and encased in folksy wool covers. The hot water bottles looked like oversized, galvanized steel canteens. The covers, patchwork in style, were made with two layers of wool. 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”.

To clarify, Oishi Mizu Tennensui Sayu isn’t one of those clear, non-carbonated soda-style flavored waters that started gaining popularity in Japan a few years ago. “Sayu” just means “hot water,” and the piping hot bottles are simply filled with the same mineral water that Asahi usually sells at cold or room-temperature under its Oishi Mizu Tennensui. Asahi says in recent years hot water has been gaining in polarity, with a growing number of people craving it on late-autumn and winter mornings as a way to warm themselves up without the jittery caffeine side effects of coffee or tea. The classical hot water bottle for sale today is either made from rubber or PVC plastic. The latter material has few advantages. It’s often a bit cheaper and can be made transparant, but unlike rubber it contains toxic chemicals (which make the plastic flexible). A third option – a bit harder to find – are plastic hot water bottles without chemical softeners, which are rigid instead of flexible. Japan’s tallest Ferris wheel adds kotatsu and hot sake service for a warm way to chill in the sky 9 viewsIn the context of the energy crisis that we are fearing for this winter, I actually think that somewhat like you, can help a great deal of people in this situation. I’m trying to get other people to read your articles since you have written many articles about alternatives to the “normal” way of heating ourselves (or rather our buildings). I genuinly think that if some of your ideas spread, it might make a significant dent in our gas consumption (and costs of living!). I’m looking at making myself a window quilt for my appartement this winter, I think it would be great if you could get other people on board doing this! The first “hot water bottles” – quite literally – were other people and animals. Since time immemorial, people have warmed themselves by huddling together. 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. Hot water bottles provide thermal comfort with all the windows open.

This will provide your little one with the added warmth they need to keep them warm during the night. Final Thoughts

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. Rubber is a popular hot water bottle material as it is durable and provides more insulation, which may reduce the risk of burns. Additionally, some companies make hot water bottles out of recycled rubber. These alternatives look needlessly complex in comparison to the hot water bottle. Water can be heated in many ways both high-tech and low-tech, and containers can be made from locally available materials. Ensure that the hot water bottle has a cover. None of the rubber should be exposed. Covers can be made of material or wool. However, newer thermoplastic hot water bottles may keep water hotter for longer. Many thermoplastic products are transparent, which can help people avoid spills and burns as they can see how much water is in the bottle.

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.

A WORD OF WARNING: Do not use a Japanese hot water bottle without a cover. If you do, you or your loved one could be easily burned by the transfer of heat through the metal sides. So please, be careful. Individuals may also find that regularly replacing some of the water with hotter water helps prevent the product from cooling down.
