A 3D printed, metal water heater created at the cutting edge of additive manufacturing technology
With electricity and gas prices reaching record highs, upgrading your home to be more sustainable is now more important than ever before. Heating, whether it’s air or water, plays an essential role in any household. Current heat exchangers, in appliances ranging from dishwashers and washing machines to instant water heaters, can be redesigned to be more energy efficient, reliable, and modular than what is on the market today. However, today’s traditional production methods, such as injection molding, limit what can be achieved.
This is where Additive Manufacturing (AM), or 3D metal printing, comes in, which enables innovative complex geometries leading to a new type of water flows. Producing a water heater using AM provides many benefits, such as a larger surface area and faster iterations. Using the patent-pending design for the Next Generation Water Heater, heat exchangers that meet today’s sustainability standards can be produced quickly and reliably.

Cold water enters the metal body
A heating cartridge heats the large area metal surface
Heat transfers efficiently from metal to water
Hot regulated water leaves the product
Akvall is a company founded in 2020 by a group of engineers and sustainability experts, who were driven by a common goal: to make a positive impact on the environment by revolutionizing the water heater industry.
The company focused on developing water heaters that are more sustainable, affordable, and better for the climate. By utilizing advanced insulation and heat exchanger technology, the company was able to create an electric water heater that consumed significantly less energy than traditional models.
