Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tankless water heater can be an economical way to heat water for the home. Home water heating consumes a large portion of a home’s energy use. Standard water heaters use energy by heating a large storage tank of water and keeping it warm for long periods. Homeowners looking for tankless water heaters will find both gas and electric models. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Potential buyers need to research their needs before deciding which type of tankless water heater to purchase. A Guide to the Tankless Water Heater will help you in this decision. Not meant to be a detailed installation guide, the book will outline the needs, advantages and disadvantages of each type of tankless water heater and decide which type will best fulfill their home water heating needs. The Home Guide Basics Series of books will explain the basic operation, options and systems of many appliances used in the home. The series will include books on rechargeable batteries, tankless water heaters, robotic vacuum cleaners, laminate floors, radiant heat, solar power, alternate energy sources, water filtration, solar garden equipment and more. tankless water heater, water heating, home water heat, home water heating, gas tankless water heater, electric tankless water heater, compact water heater

Download or read book Energy Efficiency Design Options for Residential Water Heaters written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently completed a rulemaking process in which it amended the existing energy efficiency standards for residential water heaters. A key factor in DOE?s consideration of new standards is the economic impacts on consumers. Determining such impacts requires a comparison of the additional first cost of energy efficiency design options with the savings in operating costs. This paper describes the method used to conduct the life-cycle cost (LCC) and payback period analysis for gas and electric storage water heaters. It presents the estimated change in LCC associated with more energy-efficient equipment, including heat pump electric water heaters and condensing gas water heaters, for a representative sample of U.S. homes. The study included a detailed accounting of installation costs for the considered design options, with a focus on approaches for accommodating the larger dimensions of more efficient water heaters. For heat pump water heaters, the study also considered airflow requirements, venting issues, and the impact of these products on the indoor environment. The results indicate that efficiency improvement relative to the baseline design reduces the LCC in the majority of homes for both gas and electric storage water heaters, and heat pump electric water heaters and condensing gas water heaters provide a lower LCC for homes with large rated volume water heaters.

Download or read book Design Considerations for Hot Water Plumbing written by A. Bhatia and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heating water is typically the second largest use of energy in residential and commercial buildings (after space heating and cooling). Despite its resource intensity, the hot water delivery system is seldom an area of significant focus when constructing a building. As a result, many buildings today are built with poor performing, inefficient hot water delivery systems that take minutes to deliver hot water to the point of use and waste large amounts of energy and water in the process. How quickly and efficiently a hot water system can deliver to the point of use require focus on three areas:• Generation: Heaters shall be sized for meeting both the daily requirements and for the hourly peak loads of the occupants of the building. Hot water can temporarily run out if the design is inadequate and will have higher energy costs if the system is oversized. • Distribution: Once heated, the hot water must be delivered to the intended point of use. The factors influencing the distribution efficiency include length of piping between the water heater and a given fixture, continuous recirculation controls, and materials and insulation effectiveness. • Use: Hot water is used by a variety of fixtures and appliances (faucets, showerheads, clothes washers, and dishwashers). Using efficient products such labeled faucets and showerheads that function at lower flow rates will increase the efficiency of the system.This quick book provides a brief overview of and potential design considerations for hot water plumbing systems for residential and commercial buildings.Learning ObjectiveBy completing this module, the reader will be able to:• Estimate the hot water demands based on theory of probability, fixture types and number of occupants;• Understand the hot water generation techniques, type of fuels and heaters;• Explain three primary factors influencing the heater selection: 1) capacity and frequency of use, 2) heater performance and 3) operating costs;• Determine the appropriate sizing of storage water heaters and compare the use of terms - first heat recovery, storage capacity and recovery rate;• Explain the components of centralized hot water system, direct and indirect heating systems;• Explain the basics of hot water distribution in domestic and commercial installations and its relation to water and energy efficiency;• Understand the application of various types of water supply configurations - an upfeed system, a downfeed system, or some combination thereof;• Understand the difference between the direct and reverse return piping configurations;• Compare and contrast the different control options for designing a continuous recirculation hot distribution system and the impact of such choices on water and energy sustainability;• Size the hot water circulator and the piping diameters on velocity and pressure drop criteria;• Understand the different techniques and options for hot water mixing control;• Learn the facts, formulas and good engineering practices pertaining to energy efficiency and safety.
Download or read book Pumping Away and Other Really Cool Piping Options for Hydronic Systems written by Dan Holohan and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book to describe the beautiful workings of hydronic heating systems and I tried to use words that made the subject spring to life in a visual way. It's been one of my best-selling books for years. I kept the drawings simple. Even if you've never worked with hydronics before, you'll be able to follow these drawings. The first part deals with boiler-room piping and explains how you can put the discoveries of the late, great Gil Carlson to work for you. If you pipe Gil's way, you'll save time, money and never again have to bleed radiators. Thousands of installers have reported great success by following the principles in the first part of this book. I wish I could take credit but the genius was Gil Carlson's. I just did my best to tell his story in plain English. The second half of the book takes the "Pumping Away" boiler-room piping design and applies it to a delicious menu of piping options. This is a book that you'll refer to again and again. It will save you time and money. And I guarantee that. - Dan Holohan
