The \u003cstrong\u003eThermo 2000 TurboMax 30-3 indirect water heater\u003c\/strong\u003e was designed for this kind of place: a \u003cstrong\u003e30 US gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e tank only 18 in in diameter, with a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-exchange-capacity copper coil system\u003c\/strong\u003e that heats domestic water instantly, according to the manufacturer.

It is installed beside the boiler, which keeps the piping short and simple. We still check the clearances needed for the fittings, the relief valve and the drain valve, as well as access to a drain or a drain pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the TurboMax produces hot water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TurboMax is an indirect water heater: it is connected to the electric boiler, whose heating water supplies its energy. According to Thermo 2000, its high-exchange-capacity copper coil system heats water instantly: domestic water is heated as it passes through the exchanger. The difference between first-hour output and continuous output, in the table below, corresponds to the energy already stored in the tank at the start of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer’s data\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 US gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat exchanger:\u003c\/strong\u003e copper coils, exchange surface of 19.6 sq. ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDomestic hot water at 110 °F:\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum exchange capacity of 380,000 BTU\/h (111 kW); 683 US GPH first hour; 653 US GPH continuous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDomestic hot water at 140 °F:\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum exchange capacity of 270,000 BTU\/h (79 kW); 338 US GPH first hour; 326 US GPH continuous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDomestic hot water at 160 °F:\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum exchange capacity of 180,000 BTU\/h (53 kW); 186 US GPH first hour; 181 US GPH continuous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e domestic cold water at 40 °F and boiler water at 180 °F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum domestic hot water flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 gpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections:\u003c\/strong\u003e potable water 1 1\/4 in male sweat; boiler 1 1\/4 in NPT male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e height 59 3\/4 in, diameter 18 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaximum exchange capacity and your boiler’s real output\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer’s figures are impressive for a 30 US gallon tank, and they need to be read correctly. They show what the exchanger can transfer at most, when the boiler supplies it with up to 380,000 BTU\/h (111 kW) for water at 110 °F. A residential electric boiler supplies much less. With it, the TurboMax 30-3 heats water the same way, but its continuous output is limited by the boiler’s capacity, not by the exchanger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermo 2000 also specifies that these values must be reduced for high-temperature and continuous-flow applications. During the assessment, we start from your boiler’s capacity and your habits to tell you what you will really get at the tap, rather than quoting the best line of the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the TurboMax 30-3 is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model suits a couple or a small family in a condo or a compact home heated by an electric boiler. It is also relevant in a renovation project where baseboards are replaced by radiant floors and where heating and hot water are to be grouped in a single room. For a home with several bathrooms or a large tub, a larger TurboMax is more appropriate; we compare the options with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlow, temperature and comfort\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maximum domestic hot water flow of the TurboMax 30-3 is 9 gpm. It is the value that guides the piping diameter and the number of fixtures that can be supplied at the same time; we take it into account in the design. We generally recommend adding a \u003cstrong\u003ethermostatic mixing valve\u003c\/strong\u003e at the outlet, especially if water is produced at 140 °F or more: it delivers a safe, steady temperature at the taps. The control is connected to the electric boiler with \u003cstrong\u003ehot water priority\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the boiler devotes a few minutes to it before returning to heating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer’s warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermo 2000 offers a \u003cstrong\u003e15-year residential warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003e10-year commercial warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as a \u003cstrong\u003e2-year warranty on mechanical components\u003c\/strong\u003e.
