The Indirect Heating Tank is a Plumbing Heating Device Growing in Popularity on the Amercian Market.

A number of energy saving heating devices have been coming on the market in recent years. In England and Europe and many other countries, the combi-boiler has been a popular item. This energy saving and space saving device allows the domestic hot water to be heated up from heat coming from the boiler. The combi boiler is less expensive than individual heating and boiler units, however, it has not quite caught on in America. This may be because the combi-boiler produces the hot water relatively slowly, and has a relatively small hot water storage area, and thus only meets the needs of a home with one bathroom.

Now, however, American ingenuity is tackling the problem and coming up with various ways that the functions of the boiler and heater can be combined, yet without diminishing the supply of hot water to the home. One of the more ingenious devices is the indirect storage hot water tank. This device is a tank within a tank. A stainless steel non-corrodible hot water container is set in an outer boiler hot water tank. Unlike previous combi boilers, which transferred heat from boiler water to the hot water heater through a coiled loop, in the newer arrangement the hot water tank is surrounded by hot water, so there is much greater area for heat transfer. As a result, when hot water is in use in the home, the incoming cold water is rapidly heated to a usable temperature by the surrounding boiler water.

The indirect storage tank not only provides the domestic hot water needs, it also provides all the hot water for the space heating needs of the home. Therefore, the unit is an ideal choice for people who are already using hydronic heat exchange to heat their home.

I talked with Alan Urszuy owner of A-1 Plumbing of Baltimore, a Baltimore Plumbing company which specializes in plumbing heating about the device. He told me the technology is very sophisticated and very successful in meeting the hot water and heating needs of the home. He recommends it for people needs to be be replaced.

According to Mr. Urszuy, the cost to purchase and install an indirect tank may range to $8,000.00 . The payback for the cost is the increased efficiency of the unit both for home heating and for domestic hot water production. The unit saves space and lowers the cost of heating for its many years of use. According to Mr. Urszuy, the device comes with a much longer warranty than conventional heaters, up to 10 years or longer, which is another plus. With all these values factored in, the indirect heating tank is a competitive and highly efficient heating system for the home.
