Description
This is an integrated system designed for the storage and rapid production of domestic hot water. It is designed to be highly adaptable to multi-energy systems that use two different heat sources.
The combination of a gasketed plate heat exchanger (PK 43), a stainless steel sanitary pump and a DHW storage tank (BTEH) enables any user demand to be met. Sizing the external plate heat exchanger correctly allows the storage tank volume to be reduced when high power is available, or conversely, allows a large supply of domestic hot water to be ensured under opposite conditions.
The high-performance spiral finned copper coil can be connected to an additional energy source, such as solar or biomass, to maximise the system’s potential by concentrating all energy on the entire volume of available water.
The electronic anode supplied as standard guarantees permanent cathodic protection.
This makes it the ideal solution for applications with high peak demand, such as sports centres, hotels, restaurants and residential buildings, where the recovery time of the storage tank is essential to guarantee high instantaneous hot water production.
The many advantages of adopting this type of system include:
- Reduced recovery time
- Reduced storage volume
- Ability to adapt to changing demands
- Ease of maintenance
The external PHE set is supplied fully assembled to speed up installation on site. The galvanised pipework is fully insulated and includes two thermometers at the heat exchanger’s inlet and outlet, which allow operating conditions to be monitored instantly and heat exchange efficiency to be assessed. This prevents potential drops in performance by enabling any necessary plate cleaning to be scheduled. A thermostat is also installed on the storage tank to control the on/off operation of the connected generator.
For the technical and construction specifications of the components installed on the BTEHI, please refer to the DHW calorifier BTEH series and the PK 43 gasketed plate heat exchangers.
