Tankless Water Heater- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (5/12/2009)
- The R75Lsi delivers continuous hot water on demand up to 7.5 gallons per minute. The unit features a redesigned commercial-grade heat exchanger, an integrated condensate collector, an integrated digital temperature controller, and direct electronic ignition with no pilot light. The combustion unit is sealed, so it doesn't use interior combustion air. Two units can be connected together without a control board. The whole-house unit measures 10 inches by 14 inches by 26 inches and weighs 46 pounds. The temperature can range from 98 to 140 degrees. Energy factor: 0.82. 678-829-1700.
Tempra Electric Tankless Water Heater- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (5/12/2009)
- The electric Tempra whole-house series comprises six tankless water heater models, from 12 kW to 36 kW, that can be installed in homes with one to four bathrooms. The smallest capacity unit has one heating module, the mid-range models have two heating modules, and the largest capacity units have three heating modules, which are all wired back separately to the electric panel. The temperature and flow sensors feed their readings into the water heater's microprocessor control; the microprocessor prevents the temperature from deviating from the set point. The tankless water heaters, which the company says are nearly 100 percent efficient, save 15 percent to 20 percent on water heating costs compared to a tank water heater. Energy factor: 0.99. 800-582-8423.
