Gas Water Heater

Gas Water Heater Advantages

Unlimited Hot Water: Say goodbye to cold showers mid-flush.

Space Saving: Compact units free up valuable installation space.

Energy Saving: Heats water only when needed, reducing energy waste and electricity bills. This makes it more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient than traditional water heaters!

Longer Lifespan: Typically lasts longer than storage water heaters.


Key Parameters

Flow Rate and Required Capacity

Meaning: The amount of hot water a gas water heater can deliver per minute at a specified temperature rise.

How to Choose: Calculate your peak simultaneous hot water demand. Add up the flow rates of all fixtures that might be in use simultaneously (e.g., shower and kitchen sink). Typical Requirements:

1-3 GPM (3.8-11.4 L/min): Single faucet (e.g., kitchen sink, bathroom sink).

4-6 GPM (15-23 L/min): Standard shower enclosure.

7-9+ GPM (26.5-34+ L/min): Multiple fixtures (e.g., shower enclosure + sink), large shower enclosures, bathtubs. Commercial applications require higher capacities.


Temperature Rise Capacity

Meaning: The temperature difference between the cold water inlet temperature and your desired hot water outlet temperature.

How to Choose: Consider your coldest inlet water temperature (winter) and your desired shower temperature (typically 104-108°F / 40-42°C). Higher temperature rises require more powerful equipment. Gastek specializes in providing solutions for challenging environments.


Combustion System

Natural Ventilation: Relies on thermal buoyancy (hot air rises). Gas water heaters offer a simpler design and are generally more cost-effective. Proper ventilation is required. 

Forced Air/Forced Ventilation: Uses a fan to remove exhaust air. This offers greater efficiency, improved performance in specific installations, and greater ventilation flexibility. Gastek pioneered ducted natural ventilation technology for constant temperature.

Balanced Flue/Sealed Combustion: Intakes combustion air from the outside and exhausts directly to the outside through concentric ducting. This provides maximum safety and efficiency, regardless of indoor air pressure. Ideal for well-sealed homes.
