Direct contact water heater

Instantaneous production of massive quantities of sanity hot water

Benefits of a natural gas-powered direct contact water heater

The direct contact water heater instantaneously transforms the water that passes through it into sanitary hot water. It is perfect for industrial processes, where it rapidly generates large quantities of hot water. Generate greater volumes of sanitary hot water, faster. The natural gas-powered direct contact water heater outperforms similar, oil-fired units, as well as being more economical and more efficient.

Chart comparing annual energy costs3 equivalent to 582,232 m3 (100% process) which represents energy consumption for a big industry.
