Water heaters may be classified by their energy source, the type of heat transfer mechanism, the size or age of the system, and their construction. The three common types are electric resistance heaters, gas heated boilers and solar heaters bases, and flexible silicone heaters are electrical. This article shall discuss the benefits of using a silicone water heater.
Ease of Installation
The instructions for installing silicone heaters are easy to follow and apply. These instructions are meant to preserve the heater’s structure and longevity. Avoid over flexing, pulling and cutting to prevent damages
High Heating Capacity
The best material for heating should have a high heat capacity because this determines how long it will last and how energy efficient it will be. Silicone is used in electrical heating because of its high heat capacity, strength and flexibility.
Chemical Resistance
Silicone is highly unreactive and has a large chemical resistance. This resistance helps prevent incidences of water poisoning or heavy metal accumulation in the body. The silicone used in water heaters thus is a great safety precaution.
Safety Precautions
An electrical silicone water heater is installed with a circuit breaker which helps to prevent accidents and damage. A few labels help reduce the release of chlorides, which could cause poisoning. The labels used on the heaters are extremely light, which helps to prevent heat-related problems.
Damage Prevention
Top-quality flexible silicone heaters are designed to fit the optimal heat transfer. Unless they are cut, pulled, or wrongly installed, there will be few damage incidences. This is because silicone does not contain any metal, and the electric current is passed through a ceramic material rather than metal.
