Tankless water heater: Z-Flex Venting Parts for Takagi

As the owner of a Tankless water heater plant to pay for all the received fuel, but uses it only Qpolezn. It becomes clear that it is efficiency - the most important parameter, which necessarily have to pay attention to when selecting staff. Indeed, if you buy a cheap Tankless water heater with an efficiency = 60%, then your joy will be short: you have to pay for fuel in 1,5 times more than your neighbor who bought an expensive Tankless water heater with an efficiency = 90%. And with today's fuel prices more expensive but more efficient Tankless water heater will pay for itself very quickly.

Thus, different Tankless water heaters have different efficiency. But first, let us recall that any fossil fuel goes a long way from its place of production to your Tankless water heater. And all the way - the inevitable losses. If, for example, the Tankless water heater operates on diesel, fuel oil or other liquid fuel, then before entering the fuel tank will begin series of losses. From the very beginning (in oil) for almost 6% of the energy contained in crude oil lost as a result of the emission of gas from the liquid phase. Losses in transport oil to the refinery (refinery) is approximately 1%. Crude oil is processed at the refinery, and to obtain light fractions of liquid fuels have to spend about another 9% of energy (if the technology of oil processing provides for malosernistnogo fuel). The distribution of the finished fuel from refineries to the consumer also consumes energy equivalent to about 1% of fuel energy. Thus, even before entering the Takagi Tankless water heater losses already accounted for a significant amount, and all this will have to compensate the buyer of fuel. STAGES OF ENERGY LOSS

The figure shows the various stages of energy loss. Over 100% adopted energy fuel (or other liquid fuels) in the tank of the Takagi Tankless water heater. To fill this reservoir is needed is the amount of oil, which contains 115-117% of energy. From the same graph shows that the biggest losses are in the stage of combustion. Indeed, even in our time can be seen Tankless water heaters with an efficiency = 70%.

Gas Tankless water heaters

Few words about the wall-hung gas Tankless water heaters

It happened historically - with Canada foreigners associated scope, breadth and generosity of soul. What else? After being guided by these concepts and lead-town construction several years ago, and then, again with the Canadian generosity, heat it all through the Tankless water heater equipment, for power to warm for at least another half of the same house.

Today the situation is changing: the mania for giants unreasonable thing of the past, hunters heat out fewer and fewer, more expensive liquid fuels. In this regard, in villages, where gasification takes place, the owners of individual housing immediately try to install in your home gas appliances. And the owners are not palaces, but the common area homes prefer radiant heating equipment capable of without any extra cost to heat their medium-sized suburban housing. Do the owners of such houses in buying outdoor gas Tankless water heater is not necessary. They have to heat their homes is a good alternative - to buy a wall mounted gas Tankless water heater with adequate and appropriate space power. Not bad, because wall-mounted gas Tankless water heaters 1,5-2 times cheaper than their outdoor cousins, and their power range (20 to 32 kW, depending on the manufacturer and brand of the Tankless water heater) allows you to heat and provide hot water to residential premises 200-250 m2.

Taco Mixing Valves & Taco Zone Valves

When choosing a radiant heating Tankless water heater or other radiant heating units, we first pay attention to price and quality consumer purchased the unit: it should be simple and easy to use, reliable, aesthetic, etc. But later, paying for fuel, we are convinced that the most important characteristic of any toplivoszhigayuschego device is its cost, ie, the efficiency ratio (CAP).

The fact that not all the energy contained in the fuel consumed for hot water (hot water Tankless water heaters) and steam (in steam Taco Zone Valves), and some of it is lost in the transition of the chemical energy of fossil fuels to heat. The ratio of useful heat, ie you used in the form of hot water, warm air, etc., to the expended, ie, the energy that was contained in your pre-paid fuel - natural gas, diesel or solid fuel briquettes, - this is the efficiency of the device.

Taco Mixing Valves


Amount spent by the heat is always greater than the number of useful heat, so the efficiency is always less than 1,0 - or less than 100%, if we assume that Qzatrach. = 100%. However, recently there have been so-called condensing Tankless water heaters, the efficiency of which can reach 102-108%. Below we describe the little trick that allows you to obtain such a high efficiency.

Tankless water heaters for Radiant Heating

The fact that the bypass wall Tankless water heaters there are so-called "priority of hot water." That is, until the hot water remains open, batteries, radiant heating your home, do not get from the Tankless water heater for radiant heating homes or degrees Celsius. What are you most likely while you wash dishes or take a shower, do not even pay attention.

Nevertheless, getting hot water with great comfort it is quite possible the combination of single-loop Tankless water heater with a Tankless water heater. In this case, the task of preparing hot water assumes no secondary heat exchanger, a Tankless water heater, the use of which (in contrast to the heat exchanger) allows you to always have a supply of hot water (160-200 liters), and you do not have to worry about that at the time of adoption bath radiant heating heat transfer plates can cool off somewhat. In addition, when using the Tankless water heater at the opening of the hot water, you immediately get the desired result, instead of using a two-circuit of the Tankless water heater, which needs some time to tap flowed really hot water.

Types of Tankless water heaters

Wall-mounted gas Tankless water heaters are of two types - with pezorozzhigom and electronic ignition. In the case of pezorozzhiga run the Tankless water heater must be done manually by inserting the handle toggle switch (or pressing pezoknopku). Tankless water heater with electronic ignition will be launched automatically. The same thing happens if you, for whatever reasons, to cut off the gas and the Tankless water heater stop: the resumption of gas Tankless water heater with electronic ignition switch on their own, and for the resumption of the Tankless water heater with pezorozzhigom need to re-enable pezoknopku.

By way of removing waste gas wall-hung Tankless water heaters are divided into turbo (with fan) and Tankless water heaters with natural draft. When using turbo-products of combustion are removed with a blower built into the Tankless water heater. That turbo in Europe are set in those homes where the chimney is not provided, in which the Tankless water heater house on the right takes place in the kitchen. A departing gases are vented through dymootvodyaschy channel for which the wall is drilled a hole. Ducts for such a Tankless water heater is a special "double pipe", or, as some call it - "pipe in pipe". In the inner tube of a "chimney" under the pressure of the fan ejected outgoing gases, and the external tube enters the air.

Tankless water heaters with natural draft combustion products are removed, respectively, due to natural draft, which is formed in the chimney.

Characteristic differences

These Tankless water heaters are quite accidentally called wall. Ability to establish such Tankless water heaters on the wall much easier life to those owners who have room under the Tankless water heater is not provided, or that the premises have already found some other use. Wall mounted gas Tankless water heater can be installed in the kitchen, where he easily blends into any interior thanks to its compact, elegant design and color (for the most part - white) and appearance will not differ from the usual wall-mounted cabinets. But his silent work (due to the fact that the burner is installed directly inside the Tankless water heater) is not telling the uninitiated guests that one of ordinary kitchen cabinets hidden heart of your home.

The main condition for the installation of the Tankless water heater in the kitchen (only in Canadian terms) is that the kitchen chimney, despite the fact that the ceiling height should not be less than 2,5 m.

Why is a expansion tank?

When heated, the boiler temperature of the liquid-coolant in it rises and the liquid expands. The liquid is practically incompressible and if the heating system is not equipped with optional device that allows to withdraw the additional amount, it will inevitably happen its destruction. To avoid this and apply expansion (compensation) tanks.

Water systems and water treatment

Tanks for water (hydraulic accumulators) - used to accumulate a certain amount of water, to be her issue at the desired pressure at the right time.

Other features tanks

Expansion tanks (like Extrol 60) may be used to prevent the destruction of the system from water hammer. Also, tanks can be used as a container with liquid in fire fighting systems, fire fighting, and as a reserve tanks in cases where electricity is turned off. Hydraulic tanks are used not only in domestic but also in industrial and agricultural water supplies. This professional series is designed for working pressure up to 16 bar.

Radiant Heating systems. Where to start?

Quite relevant issues today are questions about Radiant Heating. What equipment do I need to choose? Can I arrange the heating system itself? Where should you start? Let's try together to find answers to these and more questions.

The most responsible in the establishment of the Radiant Heating system - well-designed plan. Therefore, if you do not have special education in this field, the solution of this problem is better to give into the hands of qualified professionals. Moreover, it is better to install this system also is a special organization. Otherwise, you have no repair the damage done to the failure of your equipment.

However, if you do decide to design the system yourself, carefully read the information cited below. Even if you change your mind doing it themselves, this knowledge will help you in determining the professional level of employees to which you refer.

To date, all kinds of system installation has been tested by time, so any new technology you will find navryadli. But even if suddenly you still find something new and seemingly practical, it is still better to rely on already proven repeatedly. Any heating system requires the necessary fit the architecture of your building.

Before I begin, please be patient, go to the library, or use the internet, where you can gather the necessary information for yourself, or you can consult with specialists familiar architects and obtain from them a couple of other useful tips.

Only after you are confident in the level of their knowledge - can proceed directly to the design of the Radiant heating system, and then to mount the heating.
