1 Introduction of Industry:In this project hot water requirements of families (comprising of 5-6 members) in medium sized villages or small town are considered. Economic condition of family is considered to be fair enough to buy an SWH (as it is one of the technology alternatives Considered for comparison). It is evident that water heating is energy Intensive job, even for a small family of 5 members. Hence it is better to heat water from Local energy source rather than some remotely generated source, i.e., electricity. Water heating is a thermodynamic process using an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water are for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, both hot water and water heated to steam have many uses. Domestically, water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters, kettles, cauldrons, pots, or coppers. These metal vessels heat a batch of water but do not produce a continual supply of heated water at a preset temperature. The temperature will vary based on the consumption rate of hot water, use more and the water becomes cooler. Although not that popular in America, another type of water heater developed in Europe predated the storage model. In London, England in 1868, a painter named Benjamin Waddy Maugham invented "the first instantaneous domestic water heater which did not utilize solid fuel." Named "the geyser" after an Icelandic gushing hot spring, Maughams invention had cold water at the top flowing through wires which were heated by hot gases from a burner at the bottom. Hot water then flowed into the sink or tub. The invention was somewhat dangerous because there was no fluke to remove heated gases from the bathroom. From Britain to America the water heater is still sometimes called a geyser in the U.K. It is often called an electric water boiler, electric dispensing pot or electric water urn. Maughn's invention influenced the work of a Norwegian mechanical engineer named Edwin Ruud. The electric water heater was invented in 1889 by Ruud after he immigrated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Ruud Manufacturing Company, still in existence today, made much advancement in water heater design and operation. In household and commercial usage, most water heaters in North America are of the tank type. Also called storage water heaters, these consist of a cylindrical vessel/container in which water is kept continuously hot and ready for use. Typical sizes for household use
NUPUR GASOLINE PRODUCT PVT. LTD. Page 1
range from 75 to 400 liters (20 to 100 U.S. gallons). These may use electricity, natural gas, propane, heating oil, solar, or other energy sources. Natural gas heaters are most popular in the United States and most European countries, since the gas is often conveniently piped throughout cities and towns and currently is the cheapest to use. Compared to thankless heaters, storage water heaters have the advantage of using energy (gas or electricity) at a relatively slow rate, storing the heat for later use. The disadvantage is that after a while, the water inside the tank will cool down causing the heating system to activate to heat the water back up. Additionally, once the tank's supply of hot water has been exhausted, there is a significant delay before hot water is available again. Larger vessel/containers tend to provide hot water with less temperature fluctuation at moderate flow rates. Volume storage water heaters in the United States and New Zealand are typically vertical, cylindrical tanks, usually standing on the floor or on a platform raised a short distance above the floor. Volume storage water heaters in Spain are typically horizontal. In India, they are mainly vertical. In apartments they can be mounted in the ceiling space over laundry-utility rooms. In Australia, gas and electric outdoor tank heaters have mainly been used (with high temperatures to increase effective capacity), but solar roof tanks are becoming fashionable. In the UK, Electric water heating is often done by an immersion heater fitted near the bottom of the hot water tank. The immersion heater is a metal tube containing an insulated electric resistance heater which is usually rated at 3 kilowatts. Water heaters that have residual hot water storage in a vessel/container heat, electrical water heaters can be a good match for an intelligent electrical power distribution system, heating when the electrical grid load is low and turning off when the load is high. This could be implemented by allowing the power supplier to send load-shedding requests, or by the use of real-time energy pricing.

build it in to everything that you do and say. Stand by your findings and your continued inclusions as it will display to your customer both professionalism and that they can safely rely on your company for particular products or services. Your logo is not your brand but a very important method with which to underline and enforce it. Logos are symbols that enable instant recognition by those familiar with your company whilst creating that vital first impression for new customers. Influencing how your brand is perceived can be done. It is important to keep control of your brand and how it is advertised. Advertising Editorial content can only ever be partly influenced by your company; both print & broadcast reports are produced from a range of sources. Releases to the press can assist to redress inaccurate stories and give extra highlight to the positive. Today individuals are open to increasing levels of communication and brands are viewed from various personal perspectives. Remember your brand is not solely a marketing asset, it relays company values and these values must be consistently applied over time. All world brands maintain a high and consistent level of communication ensuring the brand stays visible. For these multinationals the brand & related values must be understood globally not just locally. Services and communication must be consistent if your brand is to gain credibility and establish the best perceptions. The level of brand recognition that consumers have of a particular brand and its specific product category. Brand awareness examines three levels of recognition: whether the brand name is the first to come to mind when a consumer is questioned about a particular product category; whether the brand name is one of several that come to mind when a consumer is questioned about a particular product category; and whether or not a consumer has heard of a particular brand name. Branding is a basic marketing concept that is designed to set your products/services apart from the competition. By using a particular name, phrase, design, symbol or a combination of these, you can create a unique identity. When choosing a brand name, consider It should suggest product/service benefits. It should be simple, memorable, and unique. It should fit the image of the company.
Page 28
It should have positive connotations for the target market. It should be easy to pronounce and to picture.
Branding is not a sales and marketing gimmick. Instead it refines and defines corporate culture and identity. A brand must have meaning to its consumers, its organization and its employees. Brand is an emotional link between you and your customer. It is what people Buy when they buy your product or your company. The most important part of a brand's identity is the promise it makes to customers. The essence of branding is simplicity and timelessness.
retrieve the brand from memory, when the product category, the needs fulfilled by the category, or some other type of probe, is given as a cue. Brand recognition reflect the ability of consumers to confirm prior exposure to the brand (Keller, 2007) The Brand name is an important and valuable asset of an enterprise, which identifies and differentiates it from various other competitors in the market. The world brand is derived from the old Norse word brandr, which means to burn as brand were and still are the means by which owners of livestock mark their animals to identify them. A brand, according to American marketing association is defined as a Name, Term, Sign, and Symbol, or Design or a combination of them, intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of seller and to differentiate them from those of competition. Now a days brand also includes colors, music, and songs associated with it. According to the Gallup organization, between 1994 and 2004, awareness of some brands more than doubled among affluent consumers in the three big cities of Beijing, shanghai and Guangzhou. Awareness of Mercedes-Benz, for example, went from 39% to 76 %, that of BMW jumped from a mere 11% to 69%, of Panasonic from 60% to 76%, and then of Samsung from 31% to 70%. Movius (2008) found that even the middle class large-city dwellers recognized an average of 63.9 luxury brands, primarily driven by the desire for status, prestige, and social visibility. However, Hollis (2006) found that middle-class urbanites were beginning to move beyond buying brand solely on the basis of brand status (foreign brands) or price (Chinese brands), to valuing brands based on how well they met their specific rational and emotional needs. Perception of leadership and product quality were the main reasons for emotional connections with brands. Building brand awareness is a viable strategy for advertising aimed at increasing brand choice probabilities. Raju et al. (1990) analyzed the role played by brand loyalty in determining the optimal price promotional strategies used by firm in a competitive setting. The analysis suggested that a brands likelihood of using price promotion increase with an increase in the number of competing brands in a product category. The result suggested that weaker brand gains more form price promotion. Krishnamurthy and raj (1991) explored the relationship between consumer brand preference and loyalty or price sensitive than non loyal customer. The author found that loyal customers were less price sensitive than non loyal ones in the choice decision, but more prices sensitive is quantity decision. Laurent et
NUPUR GASOLINE PRODUCT PVT. LTD. Page 30
al. (1995) identified three classical measures of brand awareness-aided, spontaneous, and top-of-mind. The relationships between these measures, across a set of brand in the same product category, were close, but highly nonlinear. Papatla and Krishnamurthy (1996) proposed a brand choice model that provides an estimate of dynamic effects of promotion on loyalty to the brand and customers sensitivity to the price of the brand and measures whether promotional purchase reinforce or reduce subsequent response to the similar promotions. The result indicated that increased purchase using coupons erode brand loyalty and increase price sensitivity. Lau and lee (1999) discussed about the importance of brands in the consumer market. The brand is the interface between consumers and the company, and customer may develop loyalty to brands. The study proposed that trust in a brand is important and is a key factor in the development of brand loyalty. Knox and walker (2001) develop a measure in which both brand commitment and brand support were found to be necessary and sufficient condition for loyalty to exit. Based on this measure, four consumer purchasing style were identified and characterized as loyal, habitual, variety seekers and switchers. Lau et al. (2006) conducted a study on brand loyalty with a sample of 280 students, aged from 18 to 24 years. The study explored the brand loyalty behavior in sportswear and examined key brand loyalty factors: brand name, product, quality, price, style, store environment, promotion and service quality. The consumers were classified into two categories by the degree of their brand loyalty: hard-core brand loyal and brand switchers. The study conducted that brand name. Style and promotion are key factors which distinguish the two classes of loyal consumers. The like hood that consumer recognize the existence and availability of a companys product or service. Creating brand awareness is one of the key steps in promoting a brand.
