The rate of energy loss is proportional to the temperature. Ergo, you are losing (and therefore replacing) more energy when the tank is hot than when it cools right down and you bring it up to the same temperature again.
Though I doubt the tank is part of your central heating system, the same principle applies to the rooms in your house.Last edited by doodab; 10 September 2013, 07:13.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
