A water heater that is a tank does not have copper coils. If gas fired, there is a burner at the bottom that heats the water in the tank the same way a tea kettle is heated on the stove. An electric heater has two heating elements in the side, top and bottom that heat the water. A tankless water heater has a coil with a flame in the middle that heats the water. This type heats the water as you use it and for as long as you want.

An indirectly heated tank has a heat exchange coiled tube (calorifier) mounted inside the skin of the tank. Hot water or steam travels through the tube and radiates heat into the tank water.

How does gas tankless hot water work?

There is a coil of copper tubing that sits in the flame. When you open the hot water faucet, the flame ignites and starts heating the water. The coil is long enough that the water has time to heat while it is in the flame. That's why you can have hot water as long as you want.
