فيديو شرح How to Size a Tankless Water Heater (Step-by-Step Guide + FREE Calculator) ضمن كورس التبريد والتكييف (HVAC) شرح قناة MEP Academy، الفديو رقم 87 مجانى معتمد اونلاين
Correctly sizing a tankless water heater isn’t guesswork—it’s a science. In this video, we walk you step-by-step through the exact method professionals use to determine the right tankless water heater size using flow rate, temperature rise, and heating load calculations. Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or HVAC/plumbing professional, this guide will help you avoid the common mistakes that lead to undersized or oversized systems.

How to measure your actual inlet water temperature
The difference between typical fixture flow rates (showers, sinks, dishwashers, etc.)
How to create a peak hot-water demand scenario
The formula used to calculate required heating load
When multiple tankless units may be needed
Why manufacturer charts still matter—even with the calculator
Common sizing mistakes to avoid
