For those situations, the \u003cstrong\u003eBradford White CEHD50 commercial electric water heater\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in a nine-element version offered at \u003cstrong\u003e45 kW or 54 kW\u003c\/strong\u003e. The tank stays compact, at \u003cstrong\u003e50 US gallons\u003c\/strong\u003e (42 imperial gallons, 189 L), but the installed power is that of a unit built to reheat water as fast as it is drawn. AirGreen installs it in commercial and industrial establishments in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a specialist’s choice. It is aimed at laundries, auto detailing shops, food processing businesses that wash their equipment over and over, and any place where there is no room for a large tank but hot water has to keep pace. For more moderate use, a lower-power version of the same unit will often make more sense, and we will tell you so plainly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen power matters more than volume\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a tank, the hot water reserve absorbs peaks. But when demand is continuous, the reserve always runs down sooner or later, whatever its size. What makes the difference then is how fast the unit reheats the incoming cold water. By combining nine elements in a 50 US gallon tank, Bradford White favours exactly that recovery capacity: the volume acts as a buffer, and the power provides continuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis trade-off also has a practical advantage. A compact tank fits into a room where a large tank would not, and it needs less floor space and less structure than a high-capacity unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA major electrical load: what to plan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 45 kW or 54 kW, this water heater ranks among the largest electrical loads in the building. The project therefore starts at the panel: service capacity, space for the breaker, conductor size and wiring route. Depending on the establishment’s electricity rate, power demand can also weigh on the bill, which is a good reason to choose the power carefully rather than defaulting to the maximum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer offers the CEHD at 208 V, 240 V, 277 V, 380 V, 415 V, 480 V and 600 V. Voltage and phase must be specified when ordering, and all units are shipped from the factory as standard three-phase models. In industrial buildings supplied at 600 V, note that only conversion of the kW rating is permitted on these models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer data for the nine-element CEHD50\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 US gallons (42 imperial gallons, 189 L).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElements\u003c\/strong\u003e: nine standard screw-in elements, Incoloy-sheathed, low watt density.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower ratings offered\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 kW or 54 kW.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConversion\u003c\/strong\u003e: nine-element models \"can be converted from 45 kW to 54 kW ONLY\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 1\/2 in.

We start from your real demand: number of appliances, flow, required temperature and length of the periods of use. If the building’s electrical capacity is tight, 45 kW leaves some margin on the panel. If demand is very sustained and the electrical service allows it, 54 kW provides the fastest recovery. Either way, the selected power is written into the quote and confirmed at ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLocation and access\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CEHD50 measures 24 in. in diameter and 50 7\/16 in. in height, and weighs 270 lb empty. It fits easily into a mechanical room or a corner of a shop, but nine elements also mean more electrical connections and more components to maintain. We therefore keep generous clearance in front of the access panels, away from forklifts and traffic areas. A floor drain nearby receives the relief valve discharge and the flushing water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintaining a nine-element unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe harder a water heater works, the more its maintenance matters. In continuous use, we recommend at least one visit a year, and more if the water is heavily mineralized. The visit includes flushing through the low-restriction brass valve, which clears sediment better, checking each element and the tightness of its electrical connections, then testing the relief valve. The Incoloy-sheathed screw-in elements are replaced individually, without removing the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptions and compliance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Bradford White’s documentation, the CEHD design is UL certified for field conversion, ASME construction is available and NSF kits are offered. For an industrial project overseen by an engineer, these options make it easier to align with the plans and specifications. The Vitraglas lining with Microban and the factory-installed true dielectric fittings round out the tank’s protection against corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the quote specifies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full model number of a CEHD indicates the power, voltage, phase and ASME option. For the nine-element version, it is therefore set with you and confirmed at the time of ordering. The manufacturer’s warranty terms that apply to the selected unit are stated in the written quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation of the Bradford White CEHD50 (45 to 54 kW) by AirGreen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen is a family business established in Montreal, active for more than fifteen years in heating, ventilation and air conditioning and holder of RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 (ventilation, refrigeration and electrical).
