How does an on-demand water heater work?
An on-demand water heater uses a heat exchanger system to instantly heat water at the required temperature.It consists of a heat exchanger, burner, control system and flue. The heat exchanger is a copper coil filled with water. As soon as the thermostat detects a need for hot water, it initiates the burner which heats up the copper coil. The control system monitors the temperature of the water and the burner function. Once the water reaches the temperature set by the thermostat, the burner is shut off and the line is ready for use. The flue is the vent which carries the waste gas outside.
