   This type of water heater could be 24% to 34% more energy-efficient than a traditional water heater, according to the Department of Energy. Tankless water heaters can also save space, as they don ...

3. Automatic bleeding valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_bleeding_valve

   A dry valve acts as an air vent until a dribble of water passes through it and swells the cartridge. If the valve dries out again, it re-opens. A characteristic of these valves is that they function best on the hot delivery side of a radiator and may not open as vents unless the water supply is hot. [8]

4. Water heating - Wikipedia

   Two conflicting safety issues affect water heater temperature—the risk of scalding from excessively hot water greater than 55 °C (131 °F), and the risk of incubating bacteria colonies, particularly Legionella, in water that is not hot enough to kill them. Both risks are potentially life-threatening and are balanced by setting the water ...

5. Thermostatic mixing valve - Wikipedia

   There are three main categories for water temperature controlling devices: Heat Source, Group Control, and Point-of-Use. Heat Source. These are used with central heating systems that use water as a medium. Tempering valves for use on hot water heat distribution systems; High flow rates suitable for use in under floor (radiant) heating applications

6. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

   Savings in water use: Users in remote points in the building do not have to run the hot water as long, waiting for it to get to the faucet. Unlimited hot water: Though flow rate determines the amount of hot water the heater can produce, it can deliver it at that flow rate indefinitely. However, this can also be an ecological disadvantage, as ...

7. Heat trap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_trap

   Microcirculation on the left: Heated water is rising into the pipe on top of the hot water tank, cooling off on the sides of the pipe and thence circulating back into the tank. Right: Circulation of hot water is inhibited by the loop in the pipe. Heat traps are valves or loops of pipe on the cold water inlet and hot water outlet of water heaters.
