Question:

How can we bottle hot water (95 degrees centigrade) and keep that temperature for atleast two weeks, cheaply?

I am a loans brokerAn organisation approached me recently that wants to set up plants to make hot (or cold) bottled water in conflict zones, drought areas, and other distrubed areas in sub saharan africaThey have a technology that is a machine that converts air to water (hot or cold)We want some advise on how best to cheaply bottle hot water so that it will stay at that hot temperature for a few weeksIf anybody can help, you will be doing alot of needy people a big favourIf we can supply bottled 2 litre hot water together with basics such as rice, etc, the affected people can then easily cook, without having to resort to deforestation and it will greatly help in providing hot meals rather than just cold rations, a big improvement in quality of lifeThus any advise on how to bottle hot water (or even cold water but not using plastic bottles) will be very much appreciatedWe need cheap options because this is for charityable workThankyou.

The recipe in the link below is for Apple Raisin muffinsIt calls for the mini muffin pans, but I always make them in the regular muffin pansIt could also be baked in a cake pan if desired They're delicious!
Don`t quite understand your question, but will still try to offer a solutionDepends on if you are trying to keep the water hot until it is bottled, or if you are trying to keep it hot after it is bottledThe best way to keep water hot is in a storage tankCoil some heat resistant tubing on top of some black sheeting in an open areaSituate the tank at a spot downhill from the tubingConnect one end of your tubing to your machine (where the hot water comes out) and the other end to the top of the tank so the water will gravity feed into the tankPaint the tank blackThe black tank will absorb solar energy to stay hotIdeally the tank should be short with a large diameterThis is so the tank will absorb more energyfrom machine II I I I _I_ I_I to tankTo keep water bottles hot build a rack above the ground to hold the bottles and place black plastic sheeting or flat metal painted black under itThe water temperature can be adjusted by raising or lowering the the rack closer or father away from the groundIt would be best if the sheeting was surrounded by a box with aluminum foil coatingTilt the sides of the box so that the reflection shines on the bottles.
