I did not read this entire post, but your assumption that it is not called a "Hot Water Heater" is incorrect. As a mechanical drafter the term is "Hot Water Heater", the designation within symbols is "HWH". So the old joke is on us, it is called a "Hot Water Heater". I don't have a reason for this, but I did have an arguement with an engineer, and he showed me that the standards show "Hot Water Heater". As if anyone really cares anyways.

The way I see it, the purpose of the HWH is to:

A) Warm any cold water that enters the chamber as hot water is used

AND

B) To maintain the water at a certain temp when no water is being used.

In example A, the heater is not a HOT water heater, as was clarified earlier. In example B, the heater is actually heating water that I (and most other life on this planet) would consider HOT. If its heating 179° to 180°... then it IS a HOT water heater (179° is HOT), otherwise its just a water heater.

I call it a HOT water heater, ... always have and probably always will.

ConsultantERP,
Thanks for the clarificaton ..

Does anyone have some pics or links to heat exchanger units that could be used for this application that we have been discussing ?
