Water Heating Fundamentals
Equipment Design: Storage water heaters, instantaneous water heaters, semi-instantaneous water heaters. What are the advantages and disadvantages to each?
Efficiency:
Certification requirement. ASHRAE 90.1, ANSI 21. 10.3, BTS 2000. What is the testing criteria for each of these standards? Tested efficiency vs. actual operational efficiency for different types of water heating design. Are instantaneous water heaters actually more efficient than storage water heaters? What does it mean when a manufacturer lists a Third-Party Certification testing entity
Tested efficiency vs. actual operational efficiency for different types of water heating design.
Materials of construction:
Tank linings vs. unlined technology. The effects of flow, demand, scale and corrosion on water heating equipment efficiency and longevity.
What types of energy sources are available for water heating applications? We will touch on gas, steam, boiler water, and alternative energy sources as a means of producing domestic hot water.
Sizing water heaters:
Is there a universal sizing method? Some examples will be provided. Gas fired equipment. Steam equipment.
Other considerations:
Legionella: Myths and Science. What are the prevention methods?
