TURBOMAX® : ...anywhere you need a lot of hot water.
TURBOMAX® heats water instantaneously, only when needed and keeps energy consumption to a minimum. TURBOMAX® has a patented technology with heat transfer efficiency reaching 99%. TURBOMAX® heats water in greater amounts than any other hot water heater, while minimizing temperature swings. TURBOMAX® reduces and scrubs the accumulation of scale deposits that diminish the efficiency of traditional water heaters. TURBOMAX® adapts to all thermal energy sources (gas, oil, electricity, wood, solar and recuperated heat), the one that best suits your needs. TURBOMAX® heats water without altering it's quality and is an excellent choice anywhere health considerations are a high priority. TURBOMAX® can be connected to your existing heating system. One boiler is usually enough. TURBOMAX® can reduce heating costs by up to 30%. TURBOMAX® resists corrosion and thermal stress. When properly installed, TURBOMAX® will outlive and outperform traditional water heaters. TURBOMAX® is reliable and covered by a 10-year warranty* - one of the best in the industry - even for commercial applications.

How does it work? The principle behind the TURBOMAX® is based on the use of boiler water to heat the fresh domestic water instantly when required. BOILER WATER In order to maintain the domestic water temperature, the system supplies hot boiler water to the TURBO/WAX® tank. The boiler water enters the top of the tank through a patented injector, which creates turbulence for an even water temperature around the copper coils, ensuring maximum thermal exchange. As the boiler water descends in the tank it transfers thermal energy to the copper coils in the TURBOMAX®. The boiler water arrives at the bottom of the tank to be collected by a second patented injector and is redirected to the boiler to be re-heated until the system has returned to its initial state. DOMESTIC WATER In contrast to the boiler water, fresh domestic water is forced up through the coil system from the bottom of the tank. As it rises, the domestic water in the coils draws energy from the ambient heat of the pre-heated tank water. This process allows domestic water to be heated from 40° F to I4O°F in 7 seconds or less. COUNTERFLOW MOTION As you will note, firstly the flow of boiler water is from the top of the tank to the bottom and secondly the flow of fresh domestic water inside the copper coils is from the bottom of the heater to the cop. The counter-flow motion of both fluids increases the efficiency of heat transfer and prevents domestic hot water temperature swings. HEAT STORAGE The boiler water in TURBOMAX® tank constitutes a store of heat energy ready to heat fresh domestic water. The volume of boiler water stored in TURBOMAX® tank provides enough heat to keep your domestic water hot while the boiler heats up. In fact, it acts as a buffer which prevents domestic hot water or boiler water temperature swings. COPPER COILS Copper is the metal by which heat from the boiler water contained in the tank is transferred to domestic water in the coils. Copper is an excellent conductor of heat (17 times more so than stainless steel), which increases thermal efficiency. Also, copper is known to be the metal most resistant to corrosion by household water. Copper offers great resistance to thermal stress (expansion and contraction of material due to temperature changes in the water). TUR8OMAX® uses the expansion and the contraction of copper to prevent the accumulation of scale inside the tube. The copper tubes are made into coils to take advantage of the radial expansion-contraction motion of copper. This constant motion changes inner surface tension and prevents scale deposits from attaching to the inner side of the copper coils. TURBULENCE Turbulence reduces heating costs. TURBOMAX® water heaters operate at an unparalleled 99% heat transfer efficiency. TURBO/WAX® uses turbulence to produce more hot water, more rapidly. First, TURBOMAX® patented injectors, provide turbulence inside the tank. Second, domestic water entering TURBOMAX®copper coils flows in a turbulent state. Thus, like the patented injectors increasing heat transfer efficiency. The turbulence also scrub accumulation of scale deposits inside the coils. |
Our patented injector: reduces heating costs 99% heat transfert efficiency The secret of the TURBOMAX®'s exceptional performance is in its patented injector, which provides optimum heat transfer. In simpler words the TURBOMAX® water heaters can produce more hot water, more rapidly. Money-wise it reduces the cost of heating by reducing the running time of the boiler or the need for a bigger water heater to do the same work. Both ends of the TURBOMAX® contain an injector with perforated walls. The top injector creates multiple jets of boiler water swirling (creating turbulence) all over the copper coil and spreading boiler water evenly throughout the tank. The turbulence produces convection, i.e., activates the instantaneous passage of the boiler water heat through the copper coil walls and then to the domestic water inside the coils. The bottom injector insures a homogenous flow of boiler water around the copper coil system from the top of the tank to the bottom. It eliminates stagnant areas or cold channels of boiler water that would normally accumulate. These two key elements make the thermal exchange between fresh domestic water and boiler water efficient and prevent domestic hot water temperature swings.
