Industrial Hot Water Calorifiers, Storage Vessels, and Heating Systems

 Calorifiers, hot water storage vessels, waste heat recovery equipment, and insulated piping systems designed and fabricated for industrial and commercial hot water applications

Key Highlights


Calorifier Design and Fabrication

britannia:jahco fabricates indirect water heaters (calorifiers) using steam coils, hot water coils, and U-tube copper tube bundles. Calorifier sizing covers the required duty, flow rate, inlet and outlet temperatures, and the conditions of the heating medium

Hot Water Storage Vessels

Storage vessels are sized to the temperature and volume requirements of the application and fabricated in stainless steel, duplex stainless or high nickel alloy construction. Vessels above the AS 1210 PV value threshold are designed and registered as pressure vessels

Waste Heat Recovery

Process waste heat from industrial refrigeration, compressed air systems, or other thermal plant can be recovered to pre-heat or heat water. britannia:jahco designs heat exchangers and calorifiers for waste heat recovery duties.

Insulation and Cladding

Storage vessels and piping are insulated to specification and clad in aluminium or anodised aluminium for indoor and export applications.

Code-Compliant Fabrication

Equipment is fabricated to AS/NZS 3500.4 and AS 1210 (where applicable). Britannia Jahco holds ISO 9001 certification through LRQA. Welding complies with AS 3992 and AS 1554.

Electric Immersion Elements

britannia:jahco fabricates storage vessels with fitted electric immersion elements for applications where steam or hot water heating is not available.

Why Choose Our Industrial Hot Water Services?


Industrial hot water systems require equipment sized to specific duty conditions: temperature, flow rate, heating medium, and legionella management requirements. AS/NZS 3500.4 requires storage temperatures of at least 60 degrees Celsius to prevent legionella growth, which sets a minimum performance threshold for every vessel and calorifier in the system.

britannia:jahco designs and fabricates custom equipment to those duty conditions rather than adapting standard product. Calorifiers are sized to the heating medium available -- steam, hot water, or electric element -- and vessel construction is matched to the water quality and operating environment. We fabricate for hospitals, hotels, food processing facilities, mining camps, and commercial HVAC plant.

Industrial Hot Water Applications for Custom-manufactured Process Equipment


Consider our services if your project requires:

  • Calorifiers using steam coil, hot water coil, or U-tube copper tube bundles
  • Hot water storage vessels in stainless steel, duplex stainless or high nickel alloy construction
  • Waste heat recovery heat exchangers
  • Storage vessels with fitted electric immersion elements
  • Insulated storage vessels and piping for indoor or export applications
  • Skid-Mounted Hot Water Systems

Our Approach to Hot Water Services


Our highly experienced team focuses on:

We offer stainless steel, duplex stainless or high nickel alloy materials where aggressive water chemistry or food-grade requirements apply.

Equipment is sized to the required duty: flow rate, temperature rise, heating medium inlet and outlet conditions, and storage volume for peak demand.

Vessels and piping are insulated to minimise heat loss in service. Rockwool is specified for high-temperature duties and clad in aluminium or anodised aluminium to suit the installation environment.

Hot water storage vessels above the PV value threshold require design registration under AS 1210. Britannia Jahco manages registration as part of the project scope.

 Tube bundles in existing calorifiers can be replaced without replacing the shell. britannia:jahco fabricates replacement bundles to client-supplied drawings or to drawings prepared from the original unit.

Custom solutions aimed at reducing energy costs through optimised performance.

Our Process


1

Consultation and Requirement Assessment

We review the heating duty, flow rates, temperature requirements, heating medium, and water quality to confirm the right equipment type and materials of construction.

2

Custom Design and Engineering

Calorifiers and storage vessels are sized to the specific duty conditions. Where AS 1210 registration is required, design documentation is prepared for submission to the relevant state authority.

3

Material Sourcing

Materials are sourced to ASTM and AS 1548 specifications. Options include carbon steel, stainless steel (304 and 316), and copper tube bundles. All materials carry certified material test reports (CMTRs).

4

Precision Fabrication and Assembly

Equipment is fabricated to AS/NZS 3500.4 and, where applicable, AS 1210. Insulation and cladding are applied to specification before dispatch

5

Testing and Quality Control

Hydrostatic pressure testing follows AS 4037. Performance against the design duty is verified before dispatch. Every unit ships with CMTRs and a full quality record.

6

Installation and Ongoing Support

We offer installation guidance and ongoing maintenance support to ensure long-term reliability.

Quality, Reliability, and Expertise

Partner with britannia:jahco and experience the difference in performance, transparency, and client service.

Why Choose britannia:jahco?


britannia:jahco brings calorifier design, vessel fabrication, and code-compliance documentation together in one workshop at Dandenong South, Victoria. We hold ISO 9001 certification through LRQA and fabricate to AS/NZS 3500.4 and AS 1210.

Safety in Our Hot Water Services


Every hot water vessel is fabricated under a documented quality plan. Materials carry CMTRs with full heat number traceability. Storage vessels are designed to the AS/NZS 3500.4 temperature requirements that prevent legionella growth. Where vessels qualify as pressure vessels under AS 1210, design registration with the relevant state authority is managed as part of the project.

Types of Customised Equipment We Fabricate


No matter your application, britannia:jahco provides the expertise and customisation you need to meet your operational goals effectively.
