ELÍZ PET 2 kW

Product detailed description

This immersion heater is designed for integration into ELÍZ stationary water heating systems, particularly those operating in conjunction with solar heating systems. It is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings where solar heating is insufficient to maintain the required water temperature. The heater is installed in the central G 6/4 threaded opening of the water tank, providing an auxiliary heating source when solar energy is unavailable or insufficient. It is suitable for tanks with a capacity of 200–500 L and is intended for use in systems where electrical heating is required as a backup or supplementary source.

Installers working on solar water heating systems often encounter the need for a reliable electrical backup heater. The ELÍZ PET 2 kW is specifically designed to meet this requirement, ensuring continuous hot water supply even during periods of low solar activity. It is commonly found in systems where the primary heat source is solar, and the electrical heater is used to maintain the desired temperature in the storage tank.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation involves fitting the heater into the central G 6/4 threaded opening in the water tank. The heater must be securely tightened to prevent leaks and ensure proper thermal contact. The included power cable must be connected to a 230 V supply, with the correct polarity and grounding. It is important to verify the thread compatibility and ensure the tank opening is clean and undamaged before installation. Common mistakes include incorrect tightening, which can lead to leaks, and improper electrical connections, which can cause overheating or failure.

Compatibility and accessories

This immersion heater is specifically designed for use with ELÍZ stationary water heaters with a G 6/4 threaded opening. It is not compatible with other brands or models without modification. No additional accessories are required for installation, as the heater includes the necessary power cable and thermostat. Installers should ensure the system is compatible with the heater's electrical and mechanical requirements before proceeding with installation.

Technical background for designers

The ELÍZ PET 2 kW operates by converting electrical energy into heat through a resistive heating element. The copper construction ensures efficient heat transfer and durability in water heating applications. The thermostat included in the unit helps regulate the temperature, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent performance. The heater is integrated into the system as a supplementary heat source, typically used in conjunction with a solar heating system. The longevity and efficiency of the heater depend on factors such as water quality, installation quality, and regular maintenance.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the heater is recommended to ensure continued performance. The main checkpoints include verifying the electrical connections, checking for signs of corrosion or scaling, and ensuring the thermostat is functioning correctly. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief, but it is advisable to inspect the heater during routine system maintenance. If the heater fails to operate or shows signs of overheating, it should be disconnected and inspected for damage or wear.
