Tankless Water
Heaters
How do they work? When a
hot water tap is opened, the cold water enters the heater and
triggers the heating elements or burners to turn on. Your hot water
tap acts as an ignition key for the energy used to heat the hot
water you need. The water is then heated as it flows through the
heating elements or heat exchanger. As you change the water flow, a
water valve or thermostat controls the heating elements or burner
flame to maintain a constant temperature. The amount of energy used
is always proportional to the volume of hot water being used. When
the hot water tap is turned off, the system shuts down.
The water temperature can be adjusted to produce outlet temperatures
ranging from 100° to 140° F. |
