The \u003cstrong\u003eBradford White SS-40-L indirect water heater\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed for exactly that: its \u003cstrong\u003e38 US gallon (31 imperial gallon, 142 L)\u003c\/strong\u003e tank contains a stainless steel coil through which the boiler water flows. The potable water warms up in contact with the coil, without ever mixing with the heating water. AirGreen installs and connects this tank in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the most compact of the Bradford White SS indirect tanks we offer. At 38 1\/4 in. tall and 91 lb empty, it easily finds a place next to a wall-hung boiler, in a small mechanical room or in the utility closet of a townhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow an indirect water heater works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn indirect water heater has no electric element and no heat source of its own. When the tank sensor calls for heat, the boiler sends its hot water through the internal coil; the heat passes through the stainless steel wall and warms the domestic water around it. Once the set point is reached, the boiler goes back to its heating zones. In most installations, domestic hot water gets priority over space heating during these short periods, which allows a quick recovery after heavy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis operation gives the SS-40-L a particular trait: its first-hour rating far exceeds its volume, because the boiler recharges the reserve while you are drawing water. A small indirect tank can therefore keep up with a demand that an electric tank of similar size would struggle to sustain, provided the boiler has the required output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich homes this size is designed for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SS-40-L suits a couple or a small family living in a house, a semi-detached home or a townhouse already equipped with an electric boiler. It is also useful when space is tight: a finished basement where the mechanical room has been kept to a minimum, or a townhouse-style condo with just a utility closet. For a larger family or several bathrooms used at the same time, we compare it with the larger SS sizes before making a recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer data\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38 US gallons, 31 imperial gallons, 142 L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-hour rating (AHRI):\u003c\/strong\u003e 237 gal\/h (897 L\/h), with boiler water at 180 °F (82 °C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 209 gal\/h at 135 °F (791 L\/h at 57 °C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandby heat loss:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 °F\/h (0.33 °C\/h).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum heat source input for these ratings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135,000 BTU\/h.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum heat source flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.0 gal\/min (53.0 L\/min).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum boiler supply temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 °F (116 °C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat exchanger:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-wall stainless steel coil, 1 in.

The manufacturer adds that different conditions produce different results. This is an important point in an electrically heated home: many residential electric boilers have an output below 135,000 BTU\/h. The tank then works very well, but the actual first-hour rating and continuous draw are lower than the published values. During the assessment, we look at your boiler's output, its set point and its winter heating load to give you a realistic expectation rather than a catalogue figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e444 stainless steel: no lining to protect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank and heat exchanger of the SS-40-L are made of \u003cstrong\u003e444 ferritic stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, a chromium, molybdenum and titanium alloy. There is therefore no glass lining inside: the steel itself resists corrosion. The \u003cstrong\u003elow-restriction brass drain valve\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a tamper-resistant design, makes maintenance flushing easier. The model's performance ratings are AHRI certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegration with the heating system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 in. NPT boiler connections are located at the front of the tank, which simplifies the piping when the unit sits next to the boiler. The manufacturer allows boiler water up to 240 °F (116 °C), a limit well above the usual working temperatures of a residential electric boiler. Because the coil is single-wall, the fluid circulating in the heating loop must meet the applicable plumbing requirements; if your system contains antifreeze, we check its compatibility before connecting the tank. The SS-40-L is connected to a dedicated zone, with its own circulator or zone valve depending on how your system is set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA reserve that holds its heat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe published standby heat loss of the SS-40-L is 0.6 °F per hour (0.33 °C\/h). When nobody is using hot water, the reserve temperature therefore drops slowly, and the boiler does not need to restart often to maintain it. In a cool basement, we also insulate the accessible hot water piping to limit losses on the way to the taps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer's warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBradford White sets different warranty terms depending on whether the unit is installed in a residence or in a commercial application.

A partial flush once a year, through the brass drain valve, removes the sediment that settles at the bottom. We also check the operation of the relief valve, the tightness of the fittings and the set temperature. Since the tank depends on the boiler, the boiler's annual maintenance is done during the same appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eService area\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe work in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, Brossard, Châteauguay, Sainte-Julie, Boisbriand, Saint-Eustache and everywhere on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e.
