System description
Principle of operation
NIBE ELK 15 is an electric heater that is primarily intended
for installation together with a heat pump for heating
buildings.
ELK 15 contains overheat protection and contactors for ex-
ternal control of the two power groups 5.0 and 10.0 kW.
Time delay recommended in compliance with the Association
of Swedish Electricity Utilities norms (always apply national
regulations) when connected power output exceeds 6 kW.
The electric module is principally an immersion heater in-
stalled in a water container, or an electric boiler without do-
mestic hot water heater.
The stainless electric coils and electric boiler tube are made
from acid proof steel (SIS 2333), which gives a very long
service life.
Economical
A small water volume and a well insulated cassette mean
small heat losses.
