SiAlON ceramics have found extensive use in non-ferrous molten metal handling, particularly aluminium and its alloys, including metal feed tubes for aluminum die casting, burner and immersion heater tubes, injector and degassing for nonferrous metals, thermocouple protection tubes, crucibles and ladles.

This reduces the tank's capacity and, where the immersion heater is secondary to the heating of the water by a coil fed from a gas or oil-fired boiler, can reduce the efficiency of the primary heating source by covering that other coil and in turn reducing its efficiency.

I'm not asking about converting a vented system into an unvented system ( which is not possible without replacing the entire immersion heater and boiler system ) I am asking about changing only the method of water supply to a vented system while keeping everything else the same.

In Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, six hotels have been supplied with solar water heating systems by ECAMI . One with 50 m2 of panel area supplies 100 rooms each of which had previously required a 6 kW immersion heater, another with 16 m2 of panels supplies 40 rooms.

Fixed appliances with a power rating over 3 kW ( for example, water heaters and some electric cookers ) or with a non-trivial power demand for long periods ( for example, immersion heaters ) are no longer recommended to be connected to a ring circuit, but instead are connected to their own dedicated circuit.

Some items are taboo at all universities : hot plates, toaster ovens, hibachis or charcoal grills, immersion heaters ( electric coils that are dipped into a liquid to heat ) and any other appliance with an exposed cooking coil . ( Larger microwave ovens also are prohibited; check with the individual college for their requirements .)

:: : : : : : : : : Out of curiosity I looked at Immersion heater 12V . The manufactures are obviously assuming ( as they are entitled to ) a terminal voltage of a properly charged lead acid accumulator to be 13.7V, in order to claim a thermal power output of 200 watts.

For most exhaust air heat pumps there will be a low heat output to the hot water and heating of just around 1.2 Kw from the compressor / heat pump process but if that falls short of the building's requirements additional heat will be automatically triggered in the form of immersion heaters or an external gas boiler.
