Instantaneous Water Heater

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Armstrong Instantaneous Water Heater (IWH) offers a safer and more cost-effective solution for domestic hot water heating compared to traditional storage tanks. It is suitable for various applications including schools, hospitals, hotels, and commercial buildings.
Specifications: The IWH system is available in basic and enhanced configurations. The basic system includes a plate & frame heat exchanger, a boiler side pressurizing pump, a temperature controller, a 3-way motorized control valve, a high-temperature safety shut-off aquastat, and a temperature sensor. The enhanced system adds features like a built-in recirculation pump, additional temperature sensors, a feed-forward controller, and compatibility with BAS networks.
Features & Benefits: The IWH provides instantaneous heating, eliminating the risk of hot water shortages and reducing the risk of Legionella disease due to the absence of water storage. It offers energy savings through features like night-time temperature set-back and smart sleep mode. The system is compact, saving up to 80% of the floor space compared to storage tank systems.
Installation & Operation: The IWH system is shipped fully assembled and requires mechanical plumbing connections and an electrical supply for installation. It is designed for easy installation and maintenance, with options for back-flushing tees and thermostatic mixing valves to reduce scalding risks.
Performance & Testing: The system is hydrostatically tested and factory painted before shipment. It includes a performance guarantee when installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The heat exchanger is constructed with 316 stainless steel plates and EPDM gaskets, with options for double-wall plates to minimize cross-contamination risks.
Control Panel: The control panel is UL & CSA approved and includes a temperature controller that monitors and maintains hot water supply temperature using feedback and feed-forward compensation principles. Enhanced control features include a master-slave configuration for high flow applications and energy-saving logic.
Contact Information: Armstrong provides contact details for their offices in the USA, UK, and Canada for further inquiries and support.
