The \u003cstrong\u003eBradford White CEHD50 commercial electric water heater\u003c\/strong\u003e, in its three-element \u003cstrong\u003e6 to 18 kW\u003c\/strong\u003e version, answers that situation: a \u003cstrong\u003e50 US gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e tank (42 imperial gallons, 189 L), 24 in. in diameter, with a power rating chosen according to real demand and the building’s capacity. AirGreen installs it in businesses and offices 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\u003eThis model suits a hair salon, a physiotherapy or dental clinic, an office with staff showers or a commercial condo unit. These are places where hot water is used every day, but where a very high electrical power rating would add nothing except an unnecessary load on the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a commercial tank rather than a residential model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA residential tank may seem sufficient for a small business, but it is generally not intended for commercial use or for the three-phase supply found in many commercial buildings. The CEHD50 is a commercial appliance from end to end: 1 1\/2 in. water connections, standard screw-in \u003cstrong\u003eIncoloy\u003c\/strong\u003e-sheathed elements, a vandal-resistant brass drain valve and a design UL certified for field conversion. It leaves the factory as a standard three-phase model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference shows day to day. In a salon that does one shampoo after another, hot water is drawn in small amounts, constantly, from morning to night. A commercial unit handles that pace without complaint, and its components can be replaced one at a time when wear eventually shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the right power between 6 and 18 kW\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-element CEHD50 is ordered in one of the power ratings set by the manufacturer: 6, 9, 12, 13.5, 15, 18 kW. According to Bradford White, three-element models \"can be converted from 6 kW to 18 kW ONLY\". The power can therefore be changed later within that range if your needs change, but not beyond it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice rests on two pieces of information: the business’s hot water demand and the available electrical capacity. A salon that washes hair all day does not have the same profile as an office whose showers are used mostly in the morning. During the assessment, we count the fixtures, note the hours of use and check the panel. The exact power is then confirmed in our written quote and at the time of ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer data for the three-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: three standard screw-in elements, Incoloy-sheathed, low watt density.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 kW to 18 kW, depending on the power ordered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable voltages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 208 V, 240 V, 277 V, 380 V, 415 V, 480 V and 600 V; units shipped as standard three-phase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 1\/2 in.

The manufacturer offers it at 208 V, 240 V, 277 V, 380 V, 415 V, 480 V and 600 V, and both voltage and phase must be specified when ordering. All units leave the factory in the standard three-phase configuration. One rule is worth knowing: on 600 V models, only conversion of the kW rating is permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a leased commercial space, the answer is often on the nameplate of the main panel. We check it on site, along with the available capacity, before recommending a configuration. That way you avoid receiving a unit that does not match the building’s supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA format that fits in a utility room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 24 in. in diameter and 50 7\/16 in. tall, the CEHD50 takes up about as much room as a good-sized residential tank, which makes replacement easier in a utility closet or a small mechanical room. Its 270 lb empty weight still calls for a two-person lift and a floor that can carry the tank once full. We also plan access to the elements: they can be replaced without moving the tank, as long as enough space is kept in front of their access panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStandards, hygiene and options\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 a clinic or a business subject to hygiene requirements, the Vitraglas lining with Microban, an antimicrobial technology, protects the inside of the tank. The factory-installed true dielectric fittings, for their part, limit corrosion between the piping and the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance: simple, but not to be neglected\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA commercial water heater works harder than a household tank. We recommend a maintenance visit once a year: flushing the tank through the low-restriction brass valve, which clears sediment better, checking the elements and their connections, then testing the relief valve. The screw-in elements can be replaced one at a time without changing the unit, which makes service quicker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is confirmed in the quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBradford White identifies each CEHD with a full model number that specifies the power, voltage, phase and ASME option. Because the three-element version covers several power ratings, that full number is set with you and confirmed at ordering. The manufacturer’s warranty terms that apply to the unit ordered are also stated in the written quote, in black and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation of the Bradford White CEHD50 (6 to 18 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).
