ELIZ ELX 10 Instant Water Heater

Product detailed description

Compact instant water heaters like the ELIZ ELX 10 are commonly used in residential and commercial settings where on-demand hot water is required. Installers often integrate these units into plumbing systems to serve multiple outlets such as kitchen sinks, bathroom basins, and showers. These systems are ideal for applications where space is limited and a continuous supply of hot water is needed without the need for large storage tanks. The ELIZ ELX 10 is particularly suited for compact installations where hydraulic switching and precise temperature control are required.

Installation of the ELIZ ELX 10 requires careful planning to ensure compatibility with the existing plumbing and electrical infrastructure. The unit must be connected to a 3-phase 400 V power supply and integrated into the water circuit with a minimum flow rate of 2.2 l/min to activate the heating process. The compact dimensions (200 x 350 x 120 mm) make it suitable for wall mounting in tight spaces, such as under sinks or in utility rooms.

Technical parameters

The technical parameters of the ELIZ ELX 10 are essential for proper sizing and system integration. The 10 kW power rating ensures rapid heating of water, while the hydraulic switching mechanism activates the heating element only when water flow is detected. The IP 24 rating provides protection against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for use in wet environments. The maximum working pressure of 1.0 MPa and minimum of 0.1 MPa must be considered when connecting to the water supply to ensure stable operation.

Installation and connection

Installation of the ELIZ ELX 10 involves securing the unit to a wall using the provided mounting template and connecting the water supply via 1/2 inch threaded connections. The unit must be connected to a 3-phase 400 V power supply with a 3 x 16 A circuit breaker. It is important to verify that the water pressure in the system is within the specified range (0.1–1.0 MPa) to prevent damage to the unit. A minimum flow rate of 2.2 l/min is required to activate the heating process. Common installation mistakes include incorrect electrical wiring and failure to account for the required minimum flow rate, which can lead to improper operation or damage to the unit.

Compatibility and accessories

The ELIZ ELX 10 is compatible with standard plumbing systems and can be integrated into multi-point water supply setups. It is recommended to use a dedicated circuit breaker and to ensure that the electrical supply meets the required specifications. No additional accessories are included with the unit, so installers must ensure that all necessary components, such as the power cable, are sourced separately. The unit is not compatible with other models or accessories listed in the product range.

Technical background for designers

The ELIZ ELX 10 operates using an electronic control system that regulates the heating process based on water flow and temperature. The unit uses a microprocessor to monitor the flow rate and adjust the power output to maintain a constant temperature at the outlet. The heating element is a high-quality, non-insulated heating body that ensures efficient heat transfer. The system's efficiency is influenced by the water pressure, flow rate, and ambient temperature. The unit is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing plumbing systems and can be used in both single and multi-point applications.

Service and operation

Regular maintenance of the ELIZ ELX 10 includes checking the electrical connections and ensuring that the water pressure remains within the specified range. The unit is equipped with a dual-stage thermal protection system that prevents overheating and allows for automatic reset after a fault. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical documentation, but it is recommended to inspect the unit periodically for signs of wear or damage. The IP 24 rating ensures that the unit is protected against dust and splashing water, but it should not be installed in areas with high humidity or direct water exposure.

Frequently asked questions

Can the ELIZ ELX 10 be installed in a multi-point water system?
Yes, the ELIZ ELX 10 is designed for installation in plumbing systems that serve multiple outlets, such as sinks, kitchen basins, and showers. The unit's hydraulic switching mechanism ensures that the heating process is activated only when water is flowing through the system.

What is the minimum water flow required to activate the heating element?
The minimum water flow required to activate the heating element is 2.2 l/min. If the flow rate drops below this threshold, the heating process will not be initiated to prevent damage to the unit.

Is the ELIZ ELX 10 suitable for use in high-pressure water systems?
The ELIZ ELX 10 is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1.0 MPa. It is important to ensure that the water pressure in the system does not exceed this limit to avoid damage to the unit.

Can the temperature of the water be adjusted?
Yes, the ELIZ ELX 10 features a touch LCD display that allows for precise temperature adjustment. The microprocessor continuously monitors the water temperature and adjusts the power output to maintain the desired temperature at the outlet.
