| THE INLINE UNIT is a central unit
with the capability of heating more than one outlet at once. It
is a replacement for the traditional tank water heater. If you had
a tank water heater before, the inline can be installed in the same
location. Be prepared to spend a few hours removing the tank water
heater. It's big, bulky and needs to have water drained from it.
It's not a one-man job. However, installing the inline is a one-man
job (certified electrician/plumber). Weighing in at around 2.2kg's
and about the size of a city phone book, this unit will prove to
be much easier and cost effective to install.Which inline unit to
purchase?
You will determine this depending on your incoming water temperature
and the distance the water has to run from the unit to the outlet
Example
For incoming water temperature's of 26°C (Tropical)
- 5kW Excellent for situations in close proximity from Atmor to
the outlet (20 Feet). For Studio to 1 Bedroom Apartment
- 7kW Ideal for a House with 2-3 bathrooms with a distance under
60 feet from the Atmor to the outlet.
- Houses with bathrooms further than 60 ft from the unit, recommend
2, 7kw Units
It is recommended to choose a higher wattage unit than needed,
as the temperature can always be adjusted downwards with the temperature
control switches. The purchase cost is only marginally higher.
INLINE HOTEL APPLICATIONS
Inline V/S Boilers. Maintenance on a boiler can be very expensive.
When they shut down, there is no hot water for the entire property.
Atmor's tankless heaters can be replaced in an hour in the unlikely
event of a problem. Boilers burn electricity 24 hours a day even
if the hotel is at 10% occupancy. Tankless Heaters are only on when
the room is occupied, and when they are using the hot water.
- Save on plumbing. Run one line to the room and then have it
split to a hot and cold. The savings in PVC pipe alone make it
worthwhile, not to mention labor and future savings on electricity.
- These units unlike a central boiler, are not going to need a
highly skilled and paid individual to maintain.
- One unit can often heat two bathrooms
Inline V/S Tank Water Heaters.
- Provides the extra space & guests can't leave the water
heater on 24 hours a day.
- They will never run out of hot water.
- In the unlikely event the unit needs maintenance or has to be
replaced, it can be removed by one person in 1 hour vs. an average
of two people and three hours, needed to replace a tank heater.
Replacing a tank heater includes draining (which can be messy)
and removing the bulky tank which means downtime for a room.
- Atmor is Environmentally friendly, not only from the point of
view of conserving electricity, but with conserving water. This
becomes more important as the amount of clean water is reduced
daily. Everybody who has stayed at a hotel has waited sometimes
minutes for the hot water to reach them.
INLINE RESIDENTIAL & APARTMENT APPLICATIONS
Atmor heaters allow an apartment owner to attract higher rentals
because more space is available for washer/dryer, storage etc. Owners
can emphasize that utility & water bills are less. Emphasis
can be placed on the reliability of the Atmor which will never blow
the pressure release, which can cause water damage to an apartment
and the apartments below. Apartments can offer the luxury of consistent
supply of hot water. |
