This means much greater efficiency and speed in heat transfer. Bare wire heating elements are especially suitable for use with hard water - like that found in many parts of Ireland. The very STIEBEL ELTRON have been making water heaters since Dr. Stiebel invented the coil immersion heater in 1924. Now they are bringing cutting edge water heating technology to the Irish market through their new subsidiary based in Blanchardstown, Dublin. All their instantaneous water heaters feature bare wire technology which equals longer product life and better sustained performance, even in hard water areas. small amount of water inside the appliance and the low-mass heating system means there is hardly any post-heating after the appliance has been switched off – a major reason for the reduction in scale build-up. Older style tubular instantaneous water heaters can quickly scale up and lose flow in hard water; not so bare wire heaters which can give many years of service without loss of performance. Find out more and where to buy All compact and mini products are WRAS approved as are the DHB-E range of convenience heaters. The bare wire range is available at all major wholesalers. The range comprises: • Mini instant water heaters – DEM single phase units from 3.8-6.2kW ideal for supplying single basins • Compact instant water heaters – DCE-X Premium and DCE-S Plus single phase units from 7.2-14.6kW for one or several outlets, ideal for such applications as a shower and basin. • Convenience instant water heaters – DHE and DHB-E 3 phase units from 18-27kW. These can supply a whole home, including a bath, from a unit just 46 x22x 11 cm. Planning a development for 3 phase water heating can mean reclaiming enough space from DHW storage to fit in whole extra apartments in a building or saving space for an extra WC or built in wardrobe in a new home, adding rentalised or sale value to projects!
