What is a storage water heater

And then came the long-awaited hot summer, when, finally, you can hide all warm clothes in the closet far away and rejoice at each new day, lived without extra clothes. However, at this time there are quite specific problems, indirectly related to the warm season. For example, the lack of hot water. As you know, every summer there is a need for scheduled maintenance of boiler houses - CHP. In order not to interrupt the heating season, the installations are put out for repair at this time. As a result, only cold water is supplied. Residents are forced to buy a storage water heater. Then you become absolutely independent of the operating mode of the CHP. The storage water heater is one of the few possibilities in the automatic mode to get hot water for domestic needs. This is both economical and convenient.

In addition, the storage water heater has a number of other advantages:

• Provides water of the right temperature immediately after opening the crane (in the presence of a preheated volume);
• As the tank is emptied, the decrease in the amount of heating of the drained water occurs gradually. It is worth remembering the centralized systems, where frequent fluctuations from boiling water to the student's soul;
• The cost of electricity consumed by the device is lower than the fee for CHP services;
• The pressure value depends only on cold water. This is a solution to a known problem, when it is possible to buy on the last floors only after it is done on the lower floors.

Here he is - a storage water heater. Reviews about this household appliance are most flattering, its popularity is growing every year. On the description of the device, we will dwell in more detail.

What is a storage water heater

Although the manufacturers offer an impressive range of similar devices, they do not differ radically from each other. The original design was so successful that now in new models it is only being finalized.

If we talk about household varieties, the storage water heater is a sealed container, most often of cylindrical shape, in the lower part of which two nipples with a thread are welded.

The first is used to connect the branch from the domestic hot water main. The second one can either directly cut through the pipe section into the hot water system (the tap from the centralized line should be closed) or connect to a separate shower in the bathroom.

Inside the tank there is an electric heater - heater. The time of its operation is determined by the setting of the temperature sensor. For example, at a set limit of 80 degrees, the heater will work until the sensor detects an increase in temperature above this value, after which it breaks the electrical circuit and turns off the heater. After natural cooling to a certain value (depending on the sensor model), the heater switches on again and the process repeats. The tank body is covered with a layer of thermal insulation material to reduce heat loss.

There are modifications with an open TEN and "dry". In the latter solution, the heating element is placed inside the bulb, so that there is no direct contact with water. In fact, this is one of the key features of different models.
