Currently electric tank and tankless water heaters rely on convection heating to heat water. This is the same heating technology used in a toaster and has been used in water heaters since the 1800's. Conversely, innovative digital architecture used in the development of MODEL 1 makes it the first water heater in the world to use a current of electricity to heat water. Using an array of graphite electrodes and electronic controls, the MODEL 1 can heat water on demand, more efficiently than any other electric water heating system in the world. Transitioning from convection heating to direct resistance heating is a disruptive technology that will change the way the world heats and uses water.
Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnection of “smart devices” making home automation hassle free. Using IoT, the Heatworks MODEL 1 brings water heating into the digital age. Alljoyn is the platform that makes this possible. Alljoyn is not only the hub through which runs the technology for the digital tankless water heater, it is also the software framework that allows the MODEL 1 and the Heatworks mobile app to communicate.
Innovation In Water Heating
The Heatworks MODEL 1 is the only electric water heating solution to provide endless hot water without relying on conventional heating elements, opening a new realm of possibilities for water heating systems.
- Instant, safe, infinite hot water
