eddi
device
Mains supply (230V AC from B16 circuit breaker or
13A fused spur)
Hot water cylinder
Heating element 1 (max. 3.7kW)
Isolator (20A double pole)
Heating element 2 (max. 3.7kW)
Functional Description
Electric only households tend to have a hot water cylinder with two immersion heaters, this is perfect for
eddi
as it can
support heating two heaters sequentially.
Heater 1 (the top immersion heater) (4) is heated with surplus power until the water at the top of the cylinder is hot and
the thermostat opens, then
eddi
will immediately switch over to Heater 2 (6); heating the bottom of the cylinder. This
makes the most of surplus energy as sometimes there will not be enough to heat the whole volume of the cylinder; it's best
to heat a smaller proportion (i.e. the top) first so there is some usable hot water, rather than a larger volume of warm water.
During heating of the lower priority heater (Heater 2),
eddi
will switch back to the higher priority heater (Heater 1) every 15
mins to check if it can store any more heat.
When the water is fully heated, any surplus power will be exported,
eddi
will switch back the priority heater and check the
lower priory heater every 15 mins.
The heating priority can be changed in the
Main Menu
(
Priority
).
