ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for heating a domestic water supply including a glass-lined storage tank for the domestic water supply and having a domestic water inlet port, a domestic water outlet port, and a heat-exchanging coil mounted therein. A heating tube is connected to the heat-exchanging coil to contain a recirculating fluid supply. The heat-exchanging coil within the glass-lined storage tank has a double-wall construction with a non-metallic outer wall in contact with a metallic inner wall. The double-wall prevents mixing of the domestic water supply with the recirculating fluid supply. The apparatus also includes a recirculating fluid heater positioned externally of the glass-lined storage tank to heat recirculating fluid to a temperature sufficient to heat the domestic water supply by heat transfer from the recirculating fluid in the heat-exchanging coil to the domestic water supply in the glass-lined storage tank.
