Calculate Your Energy Savings with a QuikWater Direct-Contact Water Heating System
How much will you save with your QuikWater system? Find out here to compare fuel costs for a typical boiler with a QuikWater unit. We think you'll be amazed by what you discover, but the savings don't stop there. On average, QuikWater customers also experience savings in reduced thermal losses, zero chemical costs, reduced maintenance, and lower insurance rates because our systems are non-pressurized. What's more, most of our customers achieve return on their investment in as little as one year.

Typical Savings Example
| Plant's annual operation hours | ||
| Length of shift in hours | 8 | |
| Number of shifts per day | x | 2 |
| Number of annual operating days | x | 312 |
| Total annual hours of operation | = | 4992 |
| Required hot water volume in gallons per minute (gpm) | 100 | |
| Required temperature rise (ΔT) | ||
| Required outlet hot water temperature (°F) | 160 | |
| Incoming water temperature (°F) | – | 60 |
| Required temperature rise (°F) | = | 100 |
| Plant's fuel cost rate per thousand cubic feet ($ / mcf) $ / mcf = $ / therm x 10 |
$3.50 | |
| Plant's calculated Btu / Hr requirements using the following heating energy demand equation: gpm x 500 x temperature rise (ΔT) = mmBtu / Hr required |
||
| QuikWater Heaters | Typical Boiler | |
| Required mmBtu / Hr | 5 | 5 |
| Estimated heating unit thermal efficiencies |
99% | 60% |
| Hourly fuel cost: | ||
| mmBtu / hr | 5 | 5 |
| $ / mcf | x $3.50 | x $3.50 |
| = $17.50 / hr | = $17.50 / hr | |
| ÷ .99 | ÷ .60 | |
| Thermal efficiency (Fuel cost per hour) |
= $17.67 / hr | = $29.16 / hr |
| Hourly cost savings | $29.16 / hr | |
| – | $17.67 / hr | |
| = | $11.49 / hr | |
| Daily cost savings | $183.84 | |
| Monthly cost savings | $4779.80 | |
| Yearly cost savings | $57,357.58 |
