  2. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    A tempering valve mixes enough cold water with the hot water from the heater to keep the outgoing water temperature fixed at a more moderate temperature, often set to 50 °C (122 °F). Without a tempering valve, reduction of the water heater's setpoint temperature is the most direct way to reduce scalding.

    The boiler will also fire (regardless of thermostat state) when the boiler water temperature goes below a range around the low limit, ensuring that the boiler water temperature remains above a certain point. The low limit is intended for tankless domestic hot water; it ensures that boiler water is always warm enough to heat the domestic hot water.

    A thermostatic radiator valve on position 2 (15–17 °C) Installed thermostatic radiator valve with the adjustment wheel removed A thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is a self-regulating valve fitted to hot water heating system radiator, to control the temperature of a room by changing the flow of hot water to the radiator.

    Prevent hot water mishaps by servicing your water heater. Flush your tank and add insulation to your pipes and tank, too. Be sure to check your water heater’s temperature, test the pressure ...

  6. Hot water reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_water_reset

    A hot water reset control loop measures the outside air temperature; this information is used to estimate demand or heating load as the outdoor temperature varies. The supply hot water temperature is modulated up and down range in an inverse linear ratio to outside air temperature. The typical range for conventional boilers is to vary the ...

  7. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

    Maintaining constant shower temperature: Similarly, unlike with a tank heater, the hot water temperature from a non-modulated tankless heater is inversely proportional to the rate of the water flow—the faster the flow, the less time the water spends in the heating element being heated. Mixing hot and cold water to the "right" temperature from ...

  8. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler

    However, boilers are normally installed with higher flow temperature by default because a domestic hot water cylinder is generally heated to 60 °C (140 °F), and this takes too long to achieve with a flow temperature only three degrees higher. Nevertheless, even partial condensing is more efficient than a traditional boiler.

  9. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

    In many climates, a solar hot water system can provide up to 85% of domestic hot water energy. This can include domestic non-electric concentrating solar thermal systems. In many northern European countries, combined hot water and space heating systems ( solar combisystems ) are used to provide 15 to 25% of home heating energy.
