… Sorry for the incomprehensible title above but this site offers only 75 characters for it! The complete title follows:
“How the water temperature would change if 2 equal electric water heaters are connected in the 4 possible arrangements?”
The said water heaters are of the electrical type, go right inline on top of the shower and they don’t have a thermostat. They’re activated by just opening the valve due to the flow of water; so, if it’s not opened sufficiently the heater won’t react with its mechanical-pressure relay/switch. If it’s opened fully, due to the water flow level, it won’t heat the water as much. The conversion of electricity into heat is a constant as it’s with an electric stove or clothes iron, only these contain a control (thermostat) for limiting the amount of heat concentrated within the confines of the unit.
You can put them in a series or parallel configuration in each category: electrical & mechanical. Have made 4 simple diagrams to exactly show what I mean by configuration but I don’t see here how to post them along with this thread, yet.
Does somebody around knows how to deal with these two different but simultaneous events that aren’t fully independent? Have searched the web for some tips/info without luck. Pointers or links to suitable sites are welcome.
Thanks in advanced!
