Gas Water Heater: Water heaters using gas


Rinnai Gas Water Heater
In this post we try to write the type of water heater that uses gas as the energy needed to heat the water and called the Gas Water Heaters (Gas Water Heater). 
This type of water heater is quite popular in the community, in addition to the price is much cheaper, also the size and shape that simple. 

Popularity of this stuff in the community make manufacturers competing to produce this tool with our wide range of options for the 3 major groups, namely: 

1.-gas storage water heater. 
Using a gas water heater uses a storage tank. This type is usually used to produce hot water in significant amounts. The surplus of hot water available at all times. The drawback of the fuel gas to be more extravagant than that without a storage tank, because it works automatically to maintain a stable temperature in the tank stockpiles. Here's an example of the product images:


Storage-gas water heater

2.-Indoor-Tankless gas water heater. 
Using a gas water heater without water storage tank installed in the room. The opposite of the above gas heater. The drawback, no hot water available at all times. When needed (faucet is opened) is a new tool to work heats the water. But the waiting time is not too long. The surplus of the fuel gas is more efficient. Here's an example picture:


Indoor Tankless Gas Water Heater
3.-outdoor-Tankless gas water heater. 
Using a gas water heater without water storage tank that is installed outdoors. Advantages and disadvantages are the same as No. 2 above. Here's an example image:


Outdoor Tankless Gas Water Heater

The workings of a gas heater is basically almost the same for all types. We take the example for the type of gas tankless water heater-indoor only. 
Basically, this type of gas water heaters is almost the same as the water we cook with a gas stove, the difference between this tool works automatically and the water is heated through the heating components called heat exchangers.

Here's how the makers of this type based on the picture above. 

1. we open the hot water faucet 
2 Cold water flows and detected by flow sensor 
3 Computer light the burner (which works like the stove) to memanaskanheat exchangers 
4 Cold water circulates through the heat exchanger 
5. Heat exchanger heats the water until it reaches the desired temperature 
6 When finished, when the hot water faucet is closed, and the water stops flowing, flow sensors did not detect any flow of water, then the computer will shut down its burner. And so on. 
Special gas water heater without a tank that is mounted inside the room (kind of a no: 2), this type of water heater is usually installed directly in the bathroom to make it more practical when you want to adjust the water temperature as desired. However, if the tool is installed in the bathroom, make sure the air vent in the bathroom is enough so that air can circulate properly. And if at any time there is leaking gas will flow out of the room immediately. 
To be safe, I advised gentlemen installing gas detectors near the water heater so that in the event of a gas leak can be taken. Due to the nature of this gas, do not look, no color and smell is not too overpowering especially if the leak is small.

It should be noted also problems chimney channel. Although not visible, the name is still burning produces carbon dioxide gas. Need to be given channel / special pipe out of the room so that the direct combustion of waste gases out of the room, such as the example shown below:

Thus, may be useful. Later we discuss the water heater that uses energy.
