These and other tests carried out to confirm the high stability of the Taco 007-F5 for a long service life. Practical experience has shown operating lifetime Taco 007-F5 has over 20 years.

Common test methods RT, based on which data were obtained are listed in this article, set the European standard EN 215 and instructions for the functional control of Taco 007-F5. This information may be provided by Taco on demand.

The complexity of conducting independent tests of RT in Canada related to the absence of the stands and the measuring base. Pressure testing valve can be made today in specialized research organizations, but the results be used to evaluate the 007-F5 can not, because it consists not only of the valve, but also from the thermostatic head, and feel it should be as a whole. To implement such a task requires test set, which enables us to determine hydraulic characteristics of the thermostat, while the temperature and mechanical action on it. The change of parameters should be determined with high accuracy. This makes it possible for some companies not to declare or overstate options they offer thermostats.

Currently in Canada there is only a stand at the production sites Taco 007, where he used to control the match made in Canada thermostats type RTD US standard EN 215, as well as internal standards and quality requirements of the company Taco.

STIEBEL ELTRON – giants of the water heating

Tankless water heaters on the Canada market is not one manufacturer now offers such a wide range of water heating devices, as the German company STIEBEL ELTRON. The family of outdoor heaters STIEBEL ELTRON have their kids and their giants. Among the latter, as devices intended to supply a cottage or a small cafe, and drives, capable of ensuring an uninterrupted supply of the bath complex or an industrial enterprise.

Reliability

In conditions of tough competition among manufacturers of devices tankless water heating born myth that actively exploit sellers storage water heaters with tanks of stainless steel. Ostensibly, only those containers capable of resisting corrosion. However, they are unlikely to merit more than the tanks with corrosion-resistant coating. The main argument of supporters of the “steel” is that the change of pressure tank heater “breathes,” from which the coating is broken and the steel starts to rust. Writers of this myth is silent, only one – any tank, from which he would have not been made, is under pressure. And if one drives a weak point is the enamel, then the other – welds. However, the tank tank, a coating covering strife. Tanks storage water heaters STIEBEL ELTRON made of steel, pretreated for environmentally friendly technologies  instead of chemical etching. Steel fabrication is the basis for the application of the special, patented by the coating.

When pronounced the word “enamel” in the minds of the consumer is automatically triggered domestic stereotype – something like enamel buckets. Specialists familiar with the technique STIEBEL ELTRON, never call coverage, which is applied to the inside of the tank with enamel. This coating has a name – anticor ®.

Anticor greatly exceeds the requirements of national and international regulations and regulatory documents. Unlike traditional one-and two-layer enamel, anticor not inclined to drop formation. By some estimates, the surface, which in the long term operation must withstand exposure to water, and steam, when applying anticor becomes 65% more secure than with double-layer of enamel.

Additional protection storage tanks STIEBEL ELTRON corrosion provides removable magnesium anode. Magnesium anode on average, to be replaced every five years, but depending on the quality of water it will last more or less. The risk of operating the heater spent his time in the anode devices STIEBEL ELTRON completely excluded, due to the specially provided for this indicator, it is a timely signal to the need for replacement. For convenience, the company STIBEL ELTRON developed a special design of the anode – chain. It can be easily replaced even when the distance between the top of the unit and the ceiling is only 30 cm

Active work in Canada Wirsbo held since 1992. PEX pipe, the company used when constructing sanitation systems in public infrastructure in Vancouver (PEX Universe, PEX Supply), Vancouver, Ottawa and other cities, the construction of apartment complexes and houses.

Today, the world’s trouble-free running about 1 million objects with floor PEX radiant heating Wirsbo. The increasing interest in these systems is related to their undoubted advantages. The main advantage is to use as a coolant water circulating on the primary side of the PEX pipe Wirsbo-pe PEX.

Water has a high heat content per unit volume and can be heated by various sources of energy (electricity, oil, gas, coal, etc.). It is clean, non-toxic and is always available, including the price. Low temperature water (the most economical temperature parameters at the inlet and outlet of 55/45 ° C), at which the work floor PEX radiant heating system, saves energy. This will reduce inefficient heat losses PEX pipe from the source of heat to the heated area.

Features of the application of PEX pipe

Canada ranks third in the world for the length of pipeline (2 million km.), And they wear – the first one. In the pre-crisis state are all PEX pipe systems housing and communal complex, characterized by a high degree of wear and continuous growth.

For five years the length of the street PEX plumbing network, to be replaced, increased from 62,2 thousand km to 91,1 thousand km, ie 46.6%, the number of accidents plumbing PEX pipe – 45 thousand or 27.3%, leakage and unaccounted-for water has increased by 4,6%.

Of the 185 thousand km of heat networks operating in Canada 6,6 thousand km or more than 14% should be replaced. In a number of Canada cities by 100 km mains have up to 400 accidents. Because of the low quality of heat supply networks are lost each year about 35 million tons of. Direct damage is at a cost of 1 ton at. so $ 70 is almost 70 billion rubles.

Damage to Canada because of worn-out pipelines, which directly affects the welfare of people, estimated hundreds of billions of dollars.

Replacement of steel PEX pipe with PEX would solve several problems utilities, subject to the features associated with the properties of polymeric materials and pipelines.
