Case Study: Noritz Hybrid Tank-Tankless System Install in Production Bakery

Tankless water heaters offer numerous benefits to designers and end users of commercial water heating systems: the energy savings of modern condensing technology, the space savings of wall- or floor-mounted rack installation, and the efficiency of “banking” two or more units together to respond quickly and smoothly to fluctuating hot-water demand. Unit redundancy is yet another advantage of a banked system: If one heater needs servicing, ample amounts of hot water at the right temperature remain available from the other units.

But for commercial and large residential applications that require substantial volumes of hot water intermittently, rather than a steady flow throughout the day, the ability to store large quantities of hot water to meet these “dump loads” is a compelling attraction, if not an inescapable need.
