Abstract (en)

This invention relates to a boiler for instant heating and production of sanitary water with a double heat exchanger (1, 11) or a single integrated bithermal heat exchanger, containing devices (14) able to optimise the supply of sanitary hot water by regulating the flow rate in such a way as to limit the flow until it reaches the required temperature, and then increasing the flow as it approaches the selected temperature. Waiting times are therefore considerably reduced, and the wastage of water that normally takes place at the start of each use is almost entirely eliminated. In the boiler according to the invention, the flow of hot water is also constantly monitored when the boiler is in full operation, and the devices (14) may intervene to limit it, depending on the characteristics of the boiler and the input parameters such as the water temperature and pressure, so as to guarantee the maximum possible flow at the required temperature, depending on the type of boiler and the operating conditions. The invention also relates to the method of management of the appliance.
