Lime Scale Accumulation: The Energy Thief

Water is used in a wide range of commercial applications.  Every day, businesses and facilities heat water to serve the needs of their customers and patrons.  While restaurants, laundromats, hotels and car washes all require very large amounts of hot water to stay in business, nearly all companies rely on hot water in one way or another.  Each year, a significant portion of their overhead is allotted to the fuel required to heat water, and everyday that allotment becomes slightly larger.  However, many do not realize what they lose each year due to the negative by-products of heating water.

Lochinvar SHIELD Commercial Water Heater

With the introduction of the innovative new SHIELD™ commercial water heater, Lochinvar Corporation is making waves by proving that sometimes it's what's not inside that really counts. With inputs up to 500,000 Btu/hr, 96 percent thermal efficiency and storage up to 125 gallons, SHIELD has everything it takes to provide the ultimate green operation – without the risk of lime scale buildup inside the tank.
Greener, Longer
With other commercial water heaters, heat transfer takes place inside the tank through flue tubes or coil-type heat exchangers. As a result, thermal efficiency decreases over time due to lime scale buildup, which gradually drives operating costs up. In fact, as little
as one-fourth of an inch of lime scale on the heat exchanger can increase operating costs by 25 percent and cause tank failure in as little as two years. Designed to provide a 100 percent effective defense against this problem, SHIELD is equipped with the industry's most advanced stainless steel heat transfer system located outside of the tank, ensuring the same high efficiency and low operating costs throughout its life cycle.
