Gas and Propane Fired Tankless Condensing Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters combine the high efficiency of condensing water heaters with the immediate availability of hot water. The storage inside of a tankless heater is very minimal and used to protect people from temperature fluctuations due to immediate load changes. Tankless design efficiency is superior to instantaneous designs, particularly at low and recirculation loads.

Gas and Propane Fired Condensing Volume Water Heaters

Volume water heaters are designed with a separate heater and tank. The water heater has little volume and requires a specific range of flow rates. To accomplish this, a Bell & Gossett all bronze or SS pump is used between the tank and the heater.

R. L. Deppmann offers NTI, Thermal Solutions, Aerco, and PVI brands.

Hydronic Boiler Source Indirect Water Heaters

Often a hot water heating plant has extra capacity built in to use the boiler water as the source for heating domestic water. This provides several advantages including less gas-fired equipment, fewer vent protrusions in the structure, and less maintenance.

If the boilers used as the heat source are condensing type, there is an advantage of increasing the boiler plant efficiency using some types of indirect water heaters.

RL Deppmann provides packaged indirect boiler source water heaters from Aerco, Bock, Cemline, and PVI.

See the Dual Fuel/Alternate section of the website for combination water and gas models.
