Tankless Water Heater

About this technology

Overview

Kennedy Space Center specialists aided Space, Energy, Time Saving (SETS) Systems, Inc. in working out the problems they encountered with their new electronic tankless" water heater. The flow switch design suffered intermittent problems. Hiring several testing and engineering firms produced only graphs printouts and a large expense but no solutions. Then through the Kennedy Space Center/State of Florida Technology Outreach Program SETS was referred to Michael Brooks a 21-year space program veteran and flowmeter expert. Run throughout Florida to provide technical service to businesses at no cost the program applies scientific and engineering expertise originally developed for space applications to the Florida business community. Brooks discovered several key problems resulting in a new design that turned out to be simpler yielding a 63 percent reduction in labor and material costs over the old design."
