#119099 - thankless water heaters Responding to: ???'s previous message |
the above misspelling is deliberate.
The problem is... (see above) I have experienced these beasts and found that due to the physical limitations imposed by the thermal intertia of the system there is no way to make a tankless water heater work 'perfectly'. By the time you detect that the water out is too hot the water in the heater coils is even hotter and you can not stop that from coming out, same for too cold. What the typical tankless water heater tries to do is to control heat applied relative to output flow. There again you have the problem of inertia. Get yourself a tank water heater and you will reduce your consumption of burn ointment. Erik |
