Abstract
An apparatus and method is provided to fill liquids in a water jacket of an enclosed chamber. A valve, such as a solenoid can be actuated remotely to open and allow liquids to fill the water jacket. A sensor, such as a fill level sensor can sense and can communicate the amount of liquid in the water jacket to a controller. The controller or an actuator can be used to actuate the solenoid. The controller can actuate the solenoid at a period of time, at an event or at any other desired time.
