Details of Session
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 requirements. ASHRAE 90.1, ANSI 21. 10.3. 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. Are instantaneous water heaters actually more efficient than storage water heaters?
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.
