To date, the problem of heating water for various household and technical needs can be solved in several ways, and flow-through (electric) water heaters are one of such methods.
Instantaneous water heaters - features
The use of water heaters of this type is most rational in cases where a continuous supply of hot water is required and it is possible to allocate significant electrical power for this task. The performance of such equipment is determined mainly by the power of the heating elements installed in it.
As a standard, an electric instantaneous water heater is a small container with a heating element installed in it, designed for high-speed heating of a liquid passing through it (usually water). To calculate the required power, the following data are required:
- The temperature of the supplied cold water (degrees Celsius);
- Water consumption (liters per minute);
- Desired water temperature at the outlet of the water heater (degrees Celsius).
Flowing electric water heaters - advantages
The main advantage, which is a feature of this type of units, is that they provide the possibility of uninterrupted supply of hot water to the draw-off points, but it is important to note that a significant power of the heating elements is required for sufficient performance.
Despite the high energy consumption, instantaneous water heaters are more economical than accumulative ones (using energy to maintain the temperature of already heated water). Another advantage that you need to draw your attention to is the absence of the need to save hot water. They can produce hot water continuously for an unlimited time within their resource.

"IndustrialClimate". Industrial electric water heaters and boilers.
Boilers and heating installations are usually used where there is no way to ensure a stable supply. The most common area of application for such equipment is private operation in summer cottages and in the infrastructure of suburban households. But manufacturing industries are also interested in providing hot water. For such needs, industrial water heaters are used, which may differ in the type of connection, principle of operation and other characteristics.
What is special about industrial water heaters?
Differences from standard household water heaters are due to the nature of the operation of the equipment. Industrial units have a large power of about 100 kW, large reservoirs and, accordingly, massive dimensions. Such parameters make it possible to use the units for maintenance of administrative buildings, infrastructural communal facilities and in production. As a rule, industrial water heaters operate from a 380 V power supply, so their choice for private use involves significant limitations. However, there are also models that are connected to a 220 V network. These are units with average power indicators that are suitable for servicing small industries and private cottages.
Flow plants
This is one of the most common types of equipment described. The design is based on a powerful heating element, which provides almost instantaneous heating of water. A cold stream of liquid passes through this element, then goes to the consumer. Among the advantages that industrial has, one can single out the stability and uninterrupted supply. In addition, water can be used in unlimited quantities in accordance with the requirements of the user. However, for the full operation of flow equipment, an equally effective system of centralized cold water supply is required.
Flow units are characterized by high power, so you should initially prepare for high energy costs. Actually, this nuance is a kind of compensation for quickly bringing the liquid to the optimum temperature. In addition, industrial flow-type water heaters are small in size, since their operating modes are designed for rapid resource consumption.
storage equipment
This system offers an alternative approach to the hot water function. The operation of accumulative installations is based on the principle of a thermos with heating mechanisms. In practice, this means that the equipment reservoir accumulates water, then heats it up and maintains the specified mode as the liquid is updated during consumption. It is beneficial to use an industrial storage water heater at facilities that do not have a connection to centralized communications at all.
Filling the tank can be done in any other way - the unit will perform its task regardless of the load and in accordance with the specified program. Of course, storage systems also have disadvantages. The main one is the large size, due to the massiveness of the reservoir. On the other hand, the absence of the need to use high-power heating elements allows you to save on electricity, which distinguishes such equipment from flow analogs.
Gas Models
On the market of engineering equipment, electrical units are quite widely represented, which allow instant heating and do not require special maintenance costs. Flow systems operate on this principle. However, high energy consumption rates still force many to turn to gas devices. If an industrial electric water heater itself is cheaper, but its operation is more expensive, then gas installations, on the contrary, save fuel costs, but are sold at higher prices. Also, the features of such equipment include the complexity of the design, due to which installation is recommended to be carried out exclusively with the help of specialists.
Installations with indirect heating
Such units are called boilers and, despite the similarity with storage water heating systems, they have a number of significant differences. The installation is a tank in which there is a spiral that provides heating. But, unlike the classic heating element, this coil increases the temperature of the liquid in contact with it not through the power grid, but through the coolant. It is important to keep in mind that an indirect type industrial water heater must be connected to a heating system. The fact is that the action of the spiral involves connecting a source with a hot mixture or water to it. From the point of view of economy, this option is sometimes more economical than gas equipment, but, again, for the operation of an indirect heating system, a stable functioning heating system is required.
Reviews about Baxi models
The Baxi Premier line includes equipment designed for use both in domestic needs and for industrial purposes. According to users, the units of this brand are characterized by a combination of ergonomics, attractive appearance and high performance. In addition, these qualities are reinforced by the durability and safety of the systems. For example, industrial storage tanks are equipped with temperature control systems, which allows you to use the liquid in accordance with specific needs. Often consumers complain about the lack of precise heating control, getting only hot water at the outlet. In the case of Baxi heaters, such shortcomings are practically not observed.
Buderus products. User opinions
If the choice fell on an indirect heating system, then you can turn to Buderus products. In particular, fans of the brand highly appreciate the boilers from the Logalux series, in which there are models with a capacity of about 750 liters. According to users of such systems, they are optimally suited for servicing domestic hot water. Also, there are ample opportunities for additional equipment. As an option, industrial water heaters of the Logalux family are equipped with the LAP device, which is an intermediate heat exchanger.
Among the features of such equipment can be identified and the versatility of use. This is just the case when the boiler can do without the presence of central heating. If there is no access to the facility at all, then an additional control system kit with a heat exchanger and an electric heating element can be used.

Electrical energy is converted into heat when an electric current flows through water between the current-carrying electrodes.
Electrode water heater type EPZ. It has two versions, differing by the power control mechanism drive (I2 - manual, I3 - electric drive). The design scheme of the electrodes depends on the power of the water heater.
Water fills the space formed by the phase and control electrodes. The current flows from the electrodes of one phase through the water through the regulating metal electrode, then through the water and to the electrodes of the other phase. The power of the water heater is regulated by changing the area of the active surface of the regulating electrode.
Electrode hot water boiler KEV-0.4(Fig. 3) is made with plate electrodes and is designed to heat water with a resistivity above 10 mOhm. The power is regulated from 25 to 100% of the nominal by changing the active height of the electrodes due to the movement of control plates made of a dielectric in the interelectrode space. The drive of the power regulator can be manual or electric.
