Electric water heater Floryda, 15L, bottom connection

Product detailed description

Electric water heaters are commonly used in residential and small commercial buildings to provide on-demand hot water for domestic use. Installers typically integrate these units into central heating systems, point-of-use applications, or as supplementary heating in areas with limited space. The Hydroland Floryda OW.FL.D15 is designed for vertical installation with a bottom connection, making it suitable for compact installations where space is a constraint. It is ideal for applications requiring a compact, high-efficiency water heating solution with a 15L capacity. The unit is intended for use with standard domestic plumbing systems and is compatible with typical electrical and hydraulic configurations found in European installations.

When installing the OW.FL.D15, it is important to ensure that the system is correctly sized and that the electrical and hydraulic connections are compatible. The heater is designed for use in systems with a maximum working pressure of 6 bar and is suitable for integration with standard domestic water supply lines. The IPX4 rating ensures that the unit is protected against splashing water, making it suitable for installation in bathrooms and utility areas where water exposure is possible.

The technical parameters of the Hydroland Floryda OW.FL.D15 are essential for determining its suitability for specific applications. The 15L capacity is appropriate for small households or point-of-use installations where a limited volume of hot water is required. The 2000W power rating ensures rapid heating, while the IPX4 rating allows for installation in environments with potential water exposure. The maximum working pressure of 6 bar indicates that the unit is suitable for standard domestic water supply pressures. These parameters are critical for ensuring that the heater is correctly sized and compatible with the intended system configuration.

Installation and connection

The Hydroland Floryda OW.FL.D15 is designed for vertical installation with a bottom connection. The installation process involves securing the unit to a wall or support structure and connecting the inlet and outlet ports to the water supply and distribution lines. The unit requires a 230V-50Hz electrical supply, and the included 150cm power cable with a European plug must be connected to a dedicated circuit. It is important to ensure that the unit is fully filled with water before energising it to prevent damage to the heating element.

Common installation mistakes include incorrect electrical wiring, failure to secure the unit properly, and improper alignment of the inlet and outlet connections. To avoid these issues, installers should follow the manufacturer's guidelines and verify that all connections are tight and leak-free. The unit should also be installed in a location that allows for easy access to the thermostat and control panel. After installation, it is recommended to check the operation of the safety valve and ensure that the magnesium anode is correctly positioned to prevent corrosion.

Compatibility and accessories

The Hydroland Floryda OW.FL.D15 is compatible with standard domestic plumbing systems and can be integrated into central heating or point-of-use configurations. It is suitable for use with copper, PEX, or PVC piping and requires a standard electrical supply. No additional accessories are required for basic operation, but installers should ensure that the installation includes a suitable mounting bracket and that the electrical circuit is correctly sized to handle the 2000W load.

Technical background for designers

The Hydroland Floryda OW.FL.D15 operates using an electric heating element made of stainless steel (SS840), which provides efficient and durable heat transfer. The internal tank is constructed from cold-rolled steel with a minimum wall thickness of 1.8 mm and is coated with enamel to prevent corrosion. The enamel layer has a minimum thickness of 0.35 mm, ensuring long-term protection against water degradation. The tank is insulated with polyurethane foam, with a thickness of 20 mm, to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.

The operating principle involves heating the water within the tank using the electric element, with temperature regulation provided by a thermostat that can be adjusted between 25°C and 75°C. The magnesium anode helps to neutralise acidic water and prevent internal corrosion. The unit is designed for integration into standard domestic systems and is suitable for use with a variety of plumbing materials and configurations. The IPX4 rating ensures that the unit can be installed in environments with potential water exposure, such as bathrooms and utility rooms.

Service and operation

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the long-term performance and efficiency of the Hydroland Floryda OW.FL.D15. The magnesium anode should be replaced periodically to maintain corrosion protection, and the safety valve should be checked weekly to ensure that it is functioning correctly. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, it should be disconnected from the power supply to prevent unnecessary energy consumption and potential damage. In the event of a leak, the unit should be immediately disconnected from the power source to prevent electrical hazards.
