Tankless water heater is a class of water heater which comes without any tank to store water. They provide hot water only as it is needed hence also known as demand-type or instantaneous heaters. They are high-power heaters which instantly heats water as it flows through the device, and do not retain any. They provide a plentiful continuous flow of hot water. Since the tankless units have no storage tank and thereby have no standby heat loss.
Irrespective whether a tankless heater is point-of-use or a whole-house unit, they work the same basic way. Cold water enters the unit and is heated by a heating element (heat exchanger) which is turned on by a flow activated switch. The heat exchanger can be electric resistance heating coils or a gas fired burner using natural gas or propane. (Gas units generally have more heating capacity and larger whole-house units are typically gas fired.)
Tankless heaters can be classified based on:
• Installation point
o Point-of-use: This type of tankless heaters are used at specific location to cater local needs e.g. kitchen, bathrooms etc. Relatively smaller in size and serves single location needs.
o Whole house: This type of heater caters need of the whole house. Installed externally they provide at every required place in the house.
• Energy source
o Electricity based tankless heaters: They use electricity as their power source to provide hot water.
o Natural gas or propane based models: They use gas as their power source to provide hot water.
