BOSCH HOT WATER SYSTEM

Bosch continuous flow water heaters provide a constant source of hot water. Since the water is heated when required, they never run out of hot water. Additionally, their output is bigger compared to their physical size and are more space efficient that the storage tanks.

It is also instrumental that these types of water heaters can run on electricity, LPG, or natural gas. The gas versions are suitable for both external and internal installation, while the models that operate on electricity are designed for internal installation only. Both the electric and the gas models have precise temperature controls and can be supplied as 50°C temperature models.

Newer models of continuous flow water heaters that operate on gas are room sealed appliances that use a co-axial flue system to supply combustion air and remove combustion products. They are therefore very safe with regard to the exclusion of flue gasses from the living environments. For markets such as Europe, the design standard is installing compact gas room sealed appliances in laundries or kitchens, either directly on the walls or concealed in the cupboards.

Gas Continuous Flow Water Heaters

Gas continuous flow water heaters are efficient in terms of space whether they are installed externally or internally. However, with outside installation, it is important to consider Worksafe requirements as well as access to the appliance during servicing.

It is common to install external gas continuous flow water heaters on the upper story balconies. But this may pose aesthetic challenges, especially when extra flue diverter devices are considered so as to comply with the AS5601 standard on deflection of flue gasses.

In addition, in NSW, the NSW Fair Trading Department has strict regulations on any gas water heater on a balcony that has a roof and enclosed on more than 2 sides.

As already stated, the electric continuous flow water heater systems are designed for internal models. The basic models are installed under bench while the units that have control features are hang on a wall. The electric models are limited on energy input (the volume of water they can heat). There are single phase models, and 3-phase models. The cost of operation is usually higher than gas models.

Storage Water Heaters (Tank Systems)

The tank systems water heaters are designed to generate domestic hot water in conjunction with a hot water unit using hot water circulation. The tank is not intended for use in pool heating applications or for heating any liquid other than water. It is also not intended for use in gravity hot water heating systems.

Tank volume directly affects the amount of hot water available from storage tank water heaters. Since the average person uses about 50 litres of hot water per day, a larger storage tank will be required when more people live in a given household. However, this requires more space and can reduce the available space in the house. Moreover, many buyers now dislike the traditional design solution of fitting storage tanks into the bedroom wardrobes.

A storage tank also compromises convenience and comfort. This is because the recovery time required to re-heat an empty storage tank depends on volume which is measured in hours. Furthermore, storage systems require mandatory fittings as well as the extra cost of a tempering valve. The tempering valve is required by the Plumbing Code of Australia. It limits the maximum outlet water temperature to 50°C to sanitary outlets to minimise the risk of scalding.

Bosch OptiFlow

Bosch uses the latest technology and this can be seen in the Optiflow system. Each model has a six-star rating and has solar compatibilities. This will help save water and will help save money on the utility bill.

The Optilow models are meant for lower flow rate systems as well as combustion management systems.

There are four different control options and a customer can get additional accessories as well.

Bosch has created some new things in the industry and is the first company to use a Bluetooth connection with the Premium Model Optiflow. This is fancy for a hot water system and will allow a person to have additional control. Besides Bluetooth there are other options including mechanical and condensing ranges.

Mechanical

The mechanical hot water system has three different models. There is the Pilot Ignition, the Internal Compact, and the Hydropower. Each model can heat up to two bathrooms and is suited for the average household. They can heat the water that is required for household use without a problem.

The Pilot Ignition is great for those that are just looking for the basics and will meet basic needs.

The Internal Compact has a higher star rating but it is more expensive than the basic models.

The Hydropower will help save you money since it uses its own voltage to heat up water and no outside source is needed.

The Mechanical model are good for the average home and provides enough power to heat the water without running up the utility bill.

Bosch hot water systems for medium density housing must be designed to blend well into existing suburban areas. The design should offer a desirable living environment that allows for increased densities in an incremental but sustainable way, without compromising amenities and overall character.

The concerned architects and developers have to consider how the buildings relate to the neighbouring surroundings and streetscapes, as well as how the space can be utilised efficiently. Meeting these requirements demands creativity and innovation.

How Water Solutions for Medium Density Housing Design

The hot water unit is one crucial aspect that is usually overlooked in the early stages during the design process. This often has an adverse effect on the finished home. This is because unlike in low density housing design, space is much of a concern. We cannot therefore afford to overlook the hot water system till a later stage in the design process.

Failure to consider the type of hot water technology as well as the installation location negatively affects the amenity and the aesthetics of the dwelling, devalues the development in the short-term and increases the operating costs in the long-term.

The two major factors to consider when choosing a hot water solution for the medium density housing sector are the available sources of energy and the type of hot water technology to be used. These two factors will determine how the designer will integrate the hot water system into the dwelling.

Heating Water With Electricity or Gas

Water heating often accounts for 25% of the energy used by a typical household. Because of this, the choice of a hot water system is important to managing energy consumption in the household. The first decision made when selecting a hot water solution is the source of energy to be used, where electricity and gas are the two common choices.

The developer must decide if both gas and electricity are needed in the building. While electricity connection will be automatic, deciding to connect gas will be dictated by the kind of appliances specified into the development plan, including heating, cooking and hot water.

For a medium density development, the additional costs incurred because of connecting gas will be overshadowed by the benefits. Notable benefits include the efficiency of gas appliances, an increased choice of appliances that make the property more appealing to potential buyers and the increase in the overall value of the property.

Generally, an electric hot water system has lower capital cost, but is more expensive to run than a gas hot water system. Gas is therefore more attractive to consumers. Besides, gas hot water systems produce about 25 to 33 percent lesser greenhouse gases than their electric counterparts. With the increased focus on energy efficiency, gas connection is the preferred choice for sustainable design. Moreover, many gas hot water systems have high energy efficiency, with many of them achieving a 6-star rating.

Selecting A Suitable Hot Water Technology

The architect or the developer must consider the installation location early in the design process. This ensures that installing the hot water appliance does not adversely affect the appearance and the amenity of the dwelling. The designer must choose between internal appliances and their external counterparts.

External appliances are suitable for balconies or ground applications, but may compromise the available outdoor space. For the internal appliances, it is important to consider the type, as well as the installation location.
