FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is the SKU for this unit?
The 500 L industrial water heater is SKU KS100.
What electrical loading does a 500 L unit need?
6 kW – 24 kW is the usual range, and 6 hours cold to 60 °c at 18 kw. Loading is built to order, so cabling and protection must be checked before an upgrade.
Vertical or horizontal?
Vertical or horizontal, single-door plantroom access. Horizontal vessels are chosen where plantroom head height or door access rules out a vertical unit.
Mild steel or stainless steel?
Mild steel with Carboguard 545 or glass-flake epoxy lining is the standard, cost-effective option. Stainless steel is specified where water quality, hygiene requirements or expected service life justify it.
What working pressure is it rated to?
Up to 400 kPa as standard, with a 600 kPa option. Over-pressure and over-temperature safety valves are fitted, and the expansion arrangement is checked at every service.
Is 500 L enough for our site?
Sizing follows peak draw-off, not daily total. Guest houses, small hotels, clinics, factory ablutions and kitchen hot water. If your peak exceeds that, vessels are banked or the loading increased rather than simply swapping to the next size up.
