Water Heaters

Water heaters are broadly categorized into gas, electric and solar-powered heaters. Almost the same kinds of semiconductor devices are used in all of them. Hot water is circulated to bathrooms, floor heating systems and so on. The water is adjusted to a temperature specified via a remote controller (PLC communication) by mixing hot and cold water at a mixing valve.Microcontrollers are used for control of the heater and remote controller; and triacs for the PLC communications IC and pump motors.
