As the name suggests, solar hot water involves heating stored water by way of the sun’s rays and energy. The water is stored in a tank and the sun’s energy is collected through solar panels mounted on the roof and in direct sunlight. This energy is absorbed by collectors and transferred to the water in the tank, where it is heated. Solar is a clean, energy efficient and practical way to heat water.
Electric storage hot water heaters can have one or two immersion elements (internal heating elements). Dual element hot water heaters are referred to as Twin Element Heaters. Single element storage hot water heaters can either work on M or J Tariff. The difference is that M tariff will ensure that the element is connected to a continual electrical connection, ensuring that it will continually heat the water throughout the day and night as required.
Continuous flow hot water units, also known as instantaneous hot water heaters, work by heating cold incoming water with a large gas flame to the desired or pre-set temperature. These units are generally a lot smaller than conventional storage hot water heaters as they do not store any hot water. The basic configuration of a continuous flow hot water heater is a copper pipe coil wrapped around a large gas flame known as a heat exchanger. Continuous flow hot water systems can also be coupled with storage tanks to create a hybrid system.
A heat pump hot water heater is a new renewable, energy efficient way of heating hot water. Typically hot water heaters use an energy source such as gas or electricity to heat stored water; however heat pumps use the heat from the outside air to heat the stored water inside the storage tank. They look very similar to standard conventional electric storage units, but have a heat pump that sits at the top of the tank.
A gas storage hot water heater (also known as a storage tank, hot water tank or hot water cylinder) is essentially a tank that is used for storing and heating hot water. The tanks are typically heavily insulated to minimise heat loss and energy consumption and can retain heat for days. Gas hot water tanks have built in gas burners and may use an external heat exchanger to heat water from another energy source prior to storing it in the tank, or may even be coupled with a solar system.
