  2. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    Water typically enters residences in the US at about 10 °C (50 °F), depending on latitude and season. Hot water temperatures of 50 °C (122 °F) are usual for dish-washing, laundry and showering, which requires that the heater raise the water temperature about 40 °C (72 °F) if the hot water is mixed with cold water at the point of use.

  3. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

    A hot-water radiator consists of a sealed hollow metal container filled with hot water from a boiler or other heating device by gravity feed, a pump, or natural convection. As it gives out heat, the hot water cools and sinks to the bottom of the radiator and is forced out of a pipe at the other end.

  4. Electric boiler - Wikipedia

    In a residential setting, an electric boiler is often used as a backup to a house's heating system. During the colder months, heating and hot water is used more frequently. This type of boiler will provide additional heating and hot water to a home. [3] Some types of boilers aren't used for heating, but for other purposes.

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

    Power outage: In case of a power outage, tankless heaters cannot supply hot water, unlike tank based heaters which can supply the hot water stored in the tank. LED Light Strobe effect: Most residential demand water heaters act by modulating the heating elements to match the flow rate. This is required to prevent overheating in the heating chamber.
