CATERING THE WORLD OF HOSPiTALiTy 21 Conscious Caterers calculating the amount of hot water likely to be needed daily is complicated by a lack of information related to running time. So which translates to significant energy savings. The Government itself has recognised the value of modern condensing technology in When all the water is used up, potable water will be heated and then stored until it is needed, a wasteful and uneconomic outcome that will suffer from standing losses eating away at the budget. specifications often have oversized systems that use too much gas and too much storage. With a gas fired continuous flow system the designer simply needs to count the outlets and calculate the flow rate. As continuous flow system supply endlessly so there is no fear of running out of hot water due to length of time the outlets are left running - It really is that simple. gas fired water heaters in its battle to meet its own targets to cut carbon emissions. New Building Regs proposals suggest that non-condensing gas water heaters cannot be employed from October 2013 in new build projects. At the design and specification stage, the continuous flow system makes instant sense as more often than not stored hot water systems are designed to over-capacity as The compact and lightweight design of the units also makes them very easy to install, cutting down on labour costs. The condensing process delivers up to 107% nett efficiency, massive heat-leaking cylinder. The downside with a stored system is that water has to be brought up to a minimum of 60 degrees celsius from cold and then maintained at that temperature 24/7 even when it is not being used.
