sarcar97 Posted October 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have a travel, portable 220W immersion heater for mixing medicine that I need to take. I have to have boiling water. Would the immersion heater be any problems. I see where AMA has 220W so it's the same - just need the proper adapter. It's very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerThom Posted October 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have a travel, portable 220W immersion heater for mixing medicine that I need to take. I have to have boiling water. Would the immersion heater be any problems...I do NOT know AMA's but the problem I see is that someone (not saying you) could get distracted, boil the water dry and then have the device burst into flames. I suspect that just like clothes irons and other devices, this might be frowned upon. Most boats have a 24/7 coffee/ tea machine - the tea water is close to boiling when it comes out - would that work? Thom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcar97 Posted October 10, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted October 10, 2017 We've used water out of our Keurig and it doesn't get hot enough and stay hot enough long enough. We have to boil it for a couple of minutes. That's where the problem happens is keeping it hot enough long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELWmusic1 Posted October 11, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 11, 2017 You say 220W immersion heater and that Ama's is 220W (W as in Watts), but that is wrong. They use a 220V (V as in Volts), which is completely different. You might want to double check, and if it is allowed (which I am not sure of, you may need not only a plug converter for the different style plugs, but you may also need voltage transformer. Just go back and check if it is Watts or Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuelScience Posted October 11, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Trying to operate high wattage devices using voltage converters is an iffy proposition. I think that you'll be much better off going down to the coffee station and getting hot water from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELWmusic1 Posted October 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2017 or just ask if the kitchen staff can boil it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerThom Posted October 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 12, 2017 or just ask if the kitchen staff can boil it for you.They certainly can and will (at least on any of the various lines I have been on), during the hours they are in the kitchen. Talk to the Maitre d' and/or Hotel Director and they WILL see that this gets accomplished, most likely even if they themselves go down to the kitchen during off hours.
