A hot water heater is the storage tank of water that is responsible for the supply of hot water to the many fixtures in the house, such as showers and sinks. It does NOT supply heat for the home itself. There are two basic types of water heaters, one that runs on gas or some other fuel and one that runs on electric. A boiler on the other hand IS responsible for the heating of a home itself. Water or steam in a boiler reach much higher temperatures than the water in a hot water tank and therefore its used for heating and not drinking water or potable water. In a steam system for heating, pipes run throughout the house from the boiler carrying steam that eventually gives off its heat at the many radiators. In a hydronic system for heat, smaller pipes carry hot water to various baseboards around the house that release the heat using circulator pumps to push the water through and back to the boiler.
A hot water boiler is a hot water heater that needs to have its parts replaced form time to time as they tend to wear out. Parts to hot water boiler can be purchased at home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe's. The boilers can also be purchased at a local plumbing supply store.
In a fire tube boiler, the water surrounds a set of tubes through which the fire and the products of combustion travel (as opposed to a water tube boiler, in which the water travels through the tubes, and the fire surrounds the tubes).The HVAC Veteran
wholly or partly surrounded by water
bleed is amount of steam output from turbine through pipe and exit from final stage of turbine . this bleed enter to feed water heater (low and high) and deaereator to increase unit efficiency or rather bleed is the amount of steam drained out of the steam turbine during the expansion of steam and this rejected heat energy is used to heat the feed water supplied to the boiler...........
Too high a setpoint or other malfunction causing the boiler in a hot water system to make steam.
A combination boiler provide hot water to a central heating system whereas the multi-point water heater does not. The multi-point water heater provides hot water to multiple appliances or taps at the same time.
NONE a boiler is a boiler and a water heater is a water heaterSEE ASME section IV or the NBBI
new boiler and hot water heater
A furnace heats air; a boiler heats water. --The HVAC Veteran
A combination boiler provides both heating and hot water, while a hot water heater only heats water. A combination boiler is more suitable for smaller homes with limited space, as it is more compact and efficient. A hot water heater is better for larger homes with higher hot water demand.
A burner is the part of the boiler that creates and controls the flame that heats the water. If you meant difference between a boiler and a furnace, a boiler makes hot water and a furnace makes hot air.
== == It is accomplished by adding an indirect fired water heater and controls.
The cost difference between a tankless water heater and a traditional tank water heater is typically higher upfront for a tankless water heater, but it can be more cost-effective in the long run due to energy savings and longer lifespan.
The difference between the two is that the Water tube boilers are safer and last much longer than the fire tube boiler. Their size is also larger and have a faster recovery time. However fire tube boilers have a low cost.
Using a water boiler heater in a home provides benefits such as energy efficiency, consistent hot water supply, and space-saving design.

It's because "hot-water" is a compound adjective, modifying "heater". It's not for heating water, it's for heating a house with hot water. There are many types of heaters that heat water, but only a hot-water heater is used for providing heated water for domestic use. A hydronic boiler also heats water, but it's only for use in radiators.The name "Hot Water Heater" is completely wrong for any use. There is no need to heat hot water. IT has always been "water heater". The term hot water heater has just been used for years because people don't realize the difference. It has always been WATER HEATER.The first answer is jibberish and makes no practical sense at all.
