Flat electric storage water heater 50 liters: features and benefits

Connecting several water points to the heater

Also, storage water heaters have some disadvantages:

Heating element of a water heater in scale

Modern water heaters are manufactured using the Double tank technology, which assumes the presence in the system of a pair of tanks located parallel to each other and connected by pipes. Across pipes water is transferred from one container to another, however, the pipe connection reduces the durability of the system.

The fact is that the welds required for connecting pipes are subject to corrosion, in contrast to the tanks themselves.Significant temperature changes occurring during the heating and cooling of water in a 50 liter flat electric storage water heater contribute to the evaporation of alloying additives included in the alloy in order to increase its resistance to corrosion processes.

To keep the device as light and thin as possible, manufacturers reduce the insulation layer, which leads to increased heat loss and additional energy consumption. Especially when compared with other models of water heaters. But for flat storage electric water heaters of 50 liters, the price is significantly lower.

Flat electric storage water heater 50 liters: principle of operation

Flat water heaters are currently considered more perfect than conventional boilers... Performing basic tasks with significantly less footprint is crucial for many people. The principle of operation of storage water heaters is to heat water to a constant temperature and automatically maintain it at a given level, supplying water under pressure if necessary.

The most advantageous mode of operation of the device is considered to be heating water to a temperature of 60-65 ° C, which is quite enough to ensure the comfort of the owner. At the same time, heat losses are significantly reduced compared to operating the device at full power.

How the device works

The rate of water heating depends on the heating element and on the volume of the water heater. In models with a tank capacity of up to 150 liters, heating elements with a capacity of 1.2-2.0 kW are installed. With a larger tank volume, heating elements of higher power are installed.

Choosing a water heater

To facilitate the choice of the boiler model, it is recommended to study the basic principles of the device, its main parameters. The inner surface of the device, depending on the manufacturer, can be made of various materials:

Stainless steel tank

One of the most important parameters of storage water heaters is the thickness of the thermal insulation layer. The thinner it is, the less rationally the heat supplied to the device is used. This leads to additional costs for payment of electricity bills, as well as the need for constant heating of water to the required temperature.

Also, water heaters differ in the way the system is controlled:

Electronic control of the heating process

The second method looks much more aesthetically pleasing than the first, while providing an opportunity to set the required temperature with high precision. A very significant disadvantage of this method is the high sensitivity of the boards to power surges, which often lead to breakdowns. According to the type of arrangement, water heaters are divided into vertical and horizontal.
