2.1 GÉNERAL INFORMATION
The INSTOMAX™ is an instantaneous water
heater. It is composed of a thermal mass
reservoir filled either by water or other liquid and
a copper heat exchanger immersed in the
thermal fluid. Domestic fresh water passing
through the heat exchanger is heated by the
thermal fluid. Therefore the INSTOMAX™ has
two separate hydraulic circuits: The reservoir
(thermal mass) side and the domestic hot water
side located inside the heat exchanger.
