IMMERSION ELECTRIC TANK-TYPE WATER HEATERS

6 KW THRU 54 KW

RHEEM-RUUDElectric Commercial Water Heaters are suitable for general commercial hot water applications and are also ideal for point-of-use installations, eliminat- ing costly temperature loss in long piping runs. A single unit can be used as a booster heater to satisfy the hot water requirements of commercial dishwashers. A single temperature storage unit, when installed with a mixing valve, will supply two temperatures in food service establishments. For larger volume hot water requirements, 2, 3 or 4 units can be parallel manifolded, using optional factory kits.

Construction Features:

SYSTEM SENTINEL – An element diagnostic panel, utilizing light emitting diodes (L.E.D.) correspond- ing to the number and location of each heating element are energized when the electric elements are operating. An unlit L.E.D. pinpoints the exact location of a non- functioning element, making element operation diagnosis simple and positive..

R-FOAM®INSULATION – A rigid ployurethane foam insulation provides superior insulating qualities, improves efficiency. Exceeds R-16 insulation factor. Our patented process of injecting R-Foam directly into the insulating cavity adds additional durability and toughness to the heater jacket. Fiberglass insulation guards against heat loss in the heating element compartment, and provides easy service access.

LIFEGUARD HEATING ELEMENTS – Separate screw-in type elements feature a stainless steel outer sheath of INCO-LOY®800, surrounding a Nichrome wire filament, to resist water chemical corrosion and burn-out even in air or sediment…for long element life and long life performance. Elements are directly immersed in the water for efficient transfer of heat, and are easily changed by simply screwing new ones into the tank.

GLASS LINED STORAGE TANK – Heavy duty steel tank protects with double coating of exclusive Rheemglas to resist the corrosive action of hot water. Designed for 150 PSI working pressure. Each tank is supplied with factory installed anode rods for cathodic protection.

MODELS

WATER CONNECTIONS – Hot outlet and cold inlet are 1-1/2" NPS brass nipples which prevent excessive turbulence of heating water and result in optimum tank draw.

SINGLE PANEL CONTROL BOX – With hinged door, provides immediate access to all electrical components and elements.

TERMINAL BLOCK – All models are equipped with CSA listed terminal blocks for simplicity of installation. This new terminal block will accept either copper or aluminum field connect wire.

Certifications and Ratings:

EFFICIENCY – These units have been tested according to procedures specified by CSA and meet or exceed the energy efficiency requirements of ASHRAE Standard 90.1b 1992 requirements for energy conservation.
