4. Description of the product
4.1 General description
This appliance is a purpose designed unvented
water heater. The water heater has a stainless steel
inner vessel, which ensures an excellent standard of
corrosion resistance. The outer casing is a combination
of resilient thermoplastic mouldings and coated
corrosion proofed steel sheet. All products are insulated
with CFC free polyurethane foam to give good heat
loss protection.
The appliance is supplied complete with all the
necessary safety and control devices needed to
allow connection to the cold water mains. All these
components are preset and should not be tampered
with.
4.2 Operation principle
The appliance is used to heat and store hot water for
use in domestic & commercial applications.
The water is heated directly using a factory fitted
electric heating element and thermostatically controlled
by an adjustable thermostat.
To provide pressure to the tap or shower an unvented
water heater uses the incoming mains water pressure.
To do this the water heater is sealed and not vented.
However, when the volume of water is heated it expands
and without any room for expansion could cause the
water heater to rupture and fail. To allow expansion
of this heated water it is important that an expansion
vessel is used (supplied). This vessel is pressurised
and gives the heated water room to expand.
