Electric Tankless Water Heaters

Sords Electric Sell Electric Tankless Heaters.

A tankless heater heats water as it passes through the heater.  It does not store hot water like a traditional tank water heater.  The tankless heater turns on when it senses flow, heats the water and hot water flow out the outlet.  When the flow of the water stops, a flow switch detects this and the tankless heater turns off.  Tankless heaters only use electricity when they are providing hot water.  A tank heater is continually using electricity by keeping the water hot waiting for a faucet to be turned on.

There are tankless heaters designed for the whole house, just sinks or for use in industrial plants.

Industrial use tankless heaters are sometimes called inline heaters or circulation heaters.  They can be made quite large to heat large volumes of water, gases or oils.  In home or commercial use tankless heaters are smaller and require less power to operate.

Tankless heaters do have a limitation.  The limitation is the amount of flow that the heater can heat.  For example, our 17 kilowatt (kw) heater (AE115) designed to operate in a home in the southern USA, can heat a flow rate of 2.5 gpm of water, 45 degrees F.  Meaning that the water temperature will be raised 45 degrees from the inlet temperature to the outlet temperature.  At a higher flow rate the degree change will be less, and at lower flow rates the change will be greater.  The 27 kw heater (AE125) will raise the the water 45 degrees at a 4.0 gpm flow rate and 65 at the 2.5 gpm.  2.5 gpm is a standard shower flow rate.  

Both of the AE tankless heaters heaters require larger breakers in the electrical panel than a tank heater.  The AE115 requires 2 x 40 amp two pole breakers and the AE 125 requires 3 x 40 amp breakers.  Both heaters operate on 220-240 volts AC.  Also the wire gauge needs to be 8 to carry the larger amperage load.

The tankless heater will save on electrical usage since it is only heating water when it is required.  A tank heater is on for many hours a day and also on when no one is home, thus wasting electricity.  A tankless heater can use up to 1/2 the amount of power to heat your water.  Another advantage is the tankless heater takes up very little space and can be located just about anywhere in the home.

Sords Electric has electric tankless heaters for sinks, AE7.2, AE9.5 and AE12 Power Stream heaters.  These heaters draw 30, 40 and 50 amps respectively.  We also carry the AE115 and AE125 for whole house use.  The amperages are 80 and 120.  Only one shower can be run at a time but back to back showers can be run all day long.

SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC ROBERTSHAW VIBRATION PRODUCTS

Robertshaw vibration switches and monitors minimize production shut down time and repair costs by measuring the total accelerated force (shock) present on a machine. Individual acceleration measurements are summed to yield the total destructive force acting on a machine. This information enables you to proactively and stategically maintain equipment. Our vibration models range from the standard traditional to new technologically enhanced models. All provide unsurpassed dependability

Robertshaw Vibration Switches and Monitors protect machinery against unnecessary shut down and repair costs, so businesses can maximize their productivity. Our wide variety of models can meet any protection need.

Typical Applications include:

Robertshaw Vibration Instruments can be used on rotating or reciprocating machines. To select the proper instrument for your machine, follow the link to Selection Guide Matrix and/or follow the steps below.

1. Select the unit that meets the environmental conditions that your machine is located in [hazardous area (explosion-proof or I.S.) or non-hazardous; temperature range].
2. Select the power supply and/or remote reset voltage required.
3. Select the unit that provides you with the required measurement type, range and frequency for your machine. The type would be acceleration (G's) or velocity (IPS). The range would be the G range or IPS range. The frequency would be in Hertz (RPM of machine ÷ 60).
4. If you require time delays (Start, Monitor or Start & Monitor delays – see note below), select the instrument that offers that feature. Models 375A/376A series offer fixed time delays; Model 566 offers adjustable Monitor Delay; Model 563A MUST BE used with Vibraswitch Model 366 or 365, and provides adjustable time delay for the units that are connected to the 563A Monitor. If time delay is not required proceed to step 5 below.
5. Select the function that you desire:
   1. Alarm or shut down only by:
      1. Electrical SPDT or DPDT Switch Operation (Models 365/366, Models 375A/376A with Start Delay Only).
      2. Solid State Triac Switch Operation (Models 375A/376A except for Start Delay ONLY Model which has SPDT Switch Contacts).
      3. Pneumatic Operation (Model 368).
   2. 4-20 mADC output only (Models 570B/571A).
   3. 4-20 mADC output with alarm and/or shut down contacts, triac outputs (Model 566).
6. Check to see if the Model selected above has a mounting configuration suitable for your application. All units are surface mount except for the following:
   1. Models 570B/571A are stud mount.
   2. Model 563A Monitor is used with the surface mount 365/366 Vibraswitches to provide adjustable start and monitor time delays.
7. After you have made your selection, review the complete Product Specification Sheet to verify your selection is correct.
   
   
   NOTE:
   Start, Monitor, or Start & Monitor Delays are used to prevent unwanted shut down or alarm during start-up or normal operation of your machine.
   1. Start Delay: Prevents unwanted shut down when excessive vibration exists (which exceeds the set-point of the vibration switch or monitor) during the start-up of the machine.
   2. Monitor Delay: Prevents unwanted shut down when short excessive vibration spikes occur (which exceed the set-point of the vibration switch or monitor) during normal operation of the machine. Spikes are typically caused by detonation, cavitation, other machinery in the immediate area, etc.

The 365A and 366 Vibraswitch malfunction detectors provide maximum protection for large motors, pumps, compressors and other rotating or reciprocating equipment by responding to mechanical malfunctions the instant they occur. The 365A is UL and c-UL certified Explosion-proof, and Type 4/4X & IP66 Weatherproof, E365A is ATEX certified,. The 366 is NEMA 4 and CSA certified.

The 375A and 376A Vibraswitches are identical to the 365/366 models, except that they incorporate built-in electronic starting, monitoring or combination starting and monitoring time delay circuits. The 375A is FM approved. The 376A has a NEMA 4 enclosure. Both require 120 VAC power.

The EURO366G Vibraswitch malfunction detector provides maximum protection from rotating and reciprocating of large motors, pumps or compressors. It is intended for indoor or outdoor use in hazardous or non-hazardous areas with ATEX and CE certifications.

The 368 pneumatically operated Vibraswitch constitutes the most effective known method of avoiding costly damage due to mechanical malfunction of rotating and reciprocating machinery where air is the operating control medium.
