Intellihot
Heat pump water heater sizing tool
Intellihot’s telliSize is a six-dimension simulation software tool for correctly sizing heat pump water heaters. telliSize uses real-world data and advanced mathematical models to simulate performance over 365 days to provide guaranteed sizing for plumbing engineers and architects. Three different sizing options are provided to meet varying needs: an option with the least upfront cost, one with the lowest operational expenses, and one that balances both. Users select their property type and input their zip code, fixture count and desired outlet temperature online at telliSize. Then, the calculator uses real-world data from similar properties and runs an advanced dynamic mathematical model on cloud computers using parallel computing technology. The users are emailed configuration options within three business days. Intellihot is so confident in its telliSize tool that it even offers a guarantee — if any of the selections fail to meet the user’s hot water demand, Intellihot will supply additional equipment at no extra cost.
Rheem
Commercial gas water heater
Triton Super and Light Duty water heaters feature up to 98% thermal efficiency, and eliminate downtime with the ability to detect and prevent water heater problems before they occur, the company says. Triton units feature LeakGuard and LeakSense, an all-inclusive leak detection and prevention system with a proprietary auto shut-off valve limiting leakage to no more than 24 ounces of water and providing real-time leak notifications; multiple water connects on the top, back and front of the unit, along with flexible venting to simplify installation; and a patented heat exchanger design and advanced power anodes to extend the unit’s life. Triton units include a five-year warranty.
Taco Comfort Solutions
Domestic water booster systems
Taco’s fully-integrated domestic water booster systems are the ideal pressure-boosting solution for multi-residential and commercial buildings, the company says. Each system comes with a range of features and benefits, including an integral controller in every drive that offers complete built-in redundancy and minimizes downtime. A grooved pipe coupling between the pump and header permits greater design flexibility and minimizes installation and maintenance time. Also, an electrical mechanical disconnect allows isolation of an individual pump and drive, enabling the system to continue to run while maintenance is performed. Every Taco Booster Package comes with Taco’s TSL (Taco Smart Logic) Constant Pressure programming. Available in Simplex, Duplex, Triplex or Quadraplex configurations, these booster packages offer capacities between 125 to 2,000 gpm.
