Indirect Water Heaters: A Boiler Briefing
When it comes to commercial water heating (apartment buildings, restaurants, hotels, and general businesses), most of the time you’ll see one of two common setups down in the boiler room. The first is a standard tank-type water heater setup: in this circumstance, you have one large commercial water heater or several smaller water heaters, appropriately sized for that commercial application.
The second typical boiler room setup is a boiler (water or steam) working in tandem with an indirect (or coil) water heater tank in a combination system. With this system, that commercial boiler is providing heating for the air in the building, while also providing the building’s faucets and fixtures with hot water.
