Electric Water Heaters
Introduction
Indian consultancy company offers to arrange collaboration with an Italian company, part of the Group which is one of the leading names in the electric water heaters field with a turnover of US$ 75 million and an annual production capacity of 1 million pieces per year. The Italian company is looking for a joint venture (JV) partner company in India who must be an existing manufacturer of water heaters/electric appliances. The 52 years old Italian Group has penetrated international markets through a series of brand names. The Group, in 1988, acquired the particular company specialised in the production of industrial water heaters and steel tanks and transformed it into a "SPA" with fully paid up share capital of 3,000 million Liras thereby increasing its production potential in the sector. Continuous product research has led to the development of electric water heaters with glass-lined water tank instead of the old fashioned galvanised water tanks. The Group is claimed to be the only supplier of porcelained water heaters at highly competitive prices, while at the same time guaranteeing high quality in terms of efficiency, reliability, and long lasting wear. The "Top Glass" electric water heater manufactured by the company has a tank made of steel. The technical solutions used improve both efficiency and service life, placing it at the peak current production. The salient characteristics are: Thick steel tank, lined with porcelain fired at 850 deg C whose strong and special crystalline structure is enough to react to corrosive and reacting agents. Thermostat has a double safety with manual reset, and the check valve provide protection against the risk of overboiling 5-bolt support flange to support the entire electric unit (heating elements, thermostat, anode) Magnesium anode The "Glass Porcellanato" electric water heater is made of steel and has following main features: Undeformable boiler by using a single horizontal weld joining the two halves of the boiler Thermal insulation of polyurethane, one of the best insulating materials available which reduces heat loss Outer casing of sheet steel coated with electrostatically applied polyester-powder paint, furnace dried at 180 deg C Magnesium anode The new middle capacity product line of the company, which includes 150 and 200 litres models, shows the well known quality level, design and a definite 32 mm thick thermal insulation improvement with high density CFC free polyurethane foam. This wall mounted line is available in vertical and horizontal patterns. The vertical pattern is also available with a water proof system, where steatite heating element can easily be inspected and replaced without first draining water out of the heater. All models of this line have already obtained strictest European standard requirements (NF, CEBEC, etc.) and are manufactured according to European specifications EN 335-2-21.
