2. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

   A hybrid water heater is a water heating system that integrates technology traits from both the tank-type water heaters and the tankless water heaters. [6] It maintains water pressure and consistent supply of hot water across multiple hot water applications, and like its tankless cousins, it is efficient and can supply a continuous flow of hot ...

3. Energy factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_factor

   The energy factor metric only applies to residential water heaters, which are currently defined by fuel, type, and input capacity. [5] Generally, the EF number represents the thermal efficiency of the water heater as a percentage, since it is an average of the ratio of the theoretical heat required to raise the temperature of water drawn to the amount of energy actually consumed by the water ...

4. Water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

   In comparison, a typical 230 L (60 US gal) tank electric water heater has a 4.5 kW (15,000 BTU/h) heating element, which at 100% efficient results in a heating time of about 2.34 hours. At $0.16/kWh the electricity would cost $1.68.

5. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

   The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs.

6. Hybrid heat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_heat

   A heat pump can be used to cool or heat a house. The heat pump transfers heat by transmitting of R-410A refrigerant. [2]Hybrid heat works with gas furnace and electric heat pump systems [3] or using a variable-speed fan.

7. Storage water heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_water_heater

   Solar heat is clean and renewable. This is the most modern system. Increasingly, solar powered water heaters are being used. Their solar thermal collectors are installed outside dwellings, typically on the roof or walls or nearby, and the potable hot water storage tank is typically a pre-existing or new conventional water heater, or a water heater specifically designed for solar thermal.
