[blubushie]

10am and back on my bullshit in light of Recent News.

So I'm gonna bitch about Sniper's camper a little (such as things it realistically would and would not have), and explain some things!

...While using Tilly of course. Camper anatomy course!

For comparison, this is Sniper's camper.

Now, for my issues and corrections with this...

The biggest thing that I notice in canon camper is the extreme lack of windows. Sniper's camper, given the timeline, would be a 60s-era model. Most 60s-era campers did not have air conditioning as their roofing wasn't strong enough to support the weight of an aircon. As you can see by looking at the roof of the camper, his does not have aircon. To make up for the lack of this, you need AIRFLOW or the camper becomes a dangerously high-heat oven. This means his camper would have multiple windows with flywire, not vents, to allow for airflow, and also a greater number of windows than is on the canon model. I will note that the venting front nook window is pretty cool though, and I've never seen one.

Sniper's camper would probably not have a shower, as there's not enough room for one. See how little it hangs off the tailgate? It has a toilet though. ALL campers that hang off the tailgate like that have a toilet. Also, despite Sniper's camper defo having a bathroom, it lacks a bathroom vent for some reason.

Sniper's camper lacks jacks?? I assume this is an oversight due to modelling reasons for SFM, and not that he took the jacks off. The jacks are necessary for maintenance purposes.

The tops of campers are always flat and I don't know why his Does That. I'm deciding it's stylistic reasons cuz otherwise he wouldn't be able to get in bed.

On that note—Sniper has a queen-size bed. I know it doesn't look like one, but trust me, that's a queen-size bed. No I don't care about the internal model that they never planned for anyone to see. It might be a bit cramped in the length department because he's a tall cunt, and it might be a bit cramped in the height department (there's not even a metre of headspace off the bed), but it's not cramped in the "If I roll in any one direction I will fall out" department, I assure you.

I'm not gonna fuss about the water fill hole or the heater or nothing, or the lack of LPG signage. I assume the lack of them is the same reason as the lack of jacks.

Ok, now for some general notes for people who don't know much about campers...

Campers from this era are entirely powered off the vehicle they're attached to. There's something called a pigtail, basically a long bundle of wire, that connects the truck to the camper and provides power, lights, etc. Some modern campers have space, usually under the sink, for a car battery to attach so you can power the camper off a separate battery without the use of a vehicle, but all campers from this era are powered by car battery through the pigtail only. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU RUN YOUR BATTERY TOO OFTEN YOU WILL BE STRANDED AS YOUR CAR WILL NOT START. Ever leave your headlights on? A lot of people would get around this by using deep-cycle batteries (which are rechargeable), and they usually kept a spare. Or two. Some vehicles, like the Ford Camper Special line, allowed room for two car batteries in the engine bay to specifically get around this. Ideally one battery would be your starter, and the other would be a deep-cycle that everything ran off of. This would prevent you from draining your car's battery, and as deep cycle batteries recharge while you're driving, this works great. Other people (like me) use deep-cycles ONLY, and recharge the batteries by cycling them out as needed.

To use your stove you have to go outside, open the LPG panel, turn the valve on your propane tanks until it's loose, then go back inside, wait a few minutes, turn on the propane ON THE STOVE, and then light your pilot light (if you have a pilot light, most campers from this era do not) or light your burners individually. When you're done cooking or wharever, you have to go back outside and turn off your propane. If you do not do this your propane will leak while you drive.

You have to turn on the water by turning on the water pump, this requires electricity. Most campers have an overhead panel somewhere near the kitchen to do this. Others have it under the sink.

Most campers can be powered without battery as long as you have an electrical source!! See the "camper city power" panel—this allows you to plug in an electrical cord directly into the camper to power it off that instead of off your truck. Downside—this requires an electrical outlet. It's really only used when a camper is home and someone is living out of it, or when someone is camped at a powered campground (like an RV park), which are extremely rare because most RV parks do not allow jack-on campers. I've only ever used this plug at home. 😅

Campers run on fuses. Given the era, Sniper's camper would probably run on old SFE glass fuses, likely 20As (mine runs on SFE-20As across the board).

There will be a part 2 to this showing the interior layout and what that's like when I get around to it later today.

[ad_1] The Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas is concerned with exploration and production of Oil & Natural Gas, refining, distribution and marketing, import, export and conservation of petroleum products. Oil and Gas being the important import for our economy, many initiatives have been taken by the Ministry for increasing production and exploitation of all domestic petroleum resources to address the priorities like Energy Access, Energy Efficiency, Energy Sustainability and Energy Security. The progress of various schemes undertaken by Ministry in last one year is shares as follows: PRADHAN MANTRI UJJWALA YOJANA (PMUY) Ujjwala is today a 10.33 crore strong family Since the inception of the Scheme about 222 crore LPG refills have been delivered to the PMUY households. Also about 13 lakh refills are being taken daily.A targeted subsidy of Rs. 300/cylinder is being given to all Ujjwala beneficiaries.Government’s efforts have led to uptick in LPG consumption by Ujjwala families. Per Capita Consumption, terms of number of 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder, has gone up from 3.01 in 2019-20 to 3.95 in 2023-24. In current year, which is still under progress, the PCC (per capita consumption) has reached 4.34 (Pro-rata basis refills till October 2024). LPG COVERAGE Since April 2014, the number of LPG connections have gone up from 14.52 crores to 32.83 crores (as on 01.11.2024), a growth of above 100 %.As on 01.11.2024, approx. 30.43 crore LPG consumers are enrolled under the PAHAL scheme. Till date, more than 1.14 crore customers have given up their LPG subsidy under ‘GiveltUp’ campaign.Since 2014, LPG Distributors have increased from 13,896 to 25,532 as on 01.11.2024 enhancing LPG access and availability. It is worth mentioning that more than 90 % of new distributors are catering to rural areas. FACILITIES Under Promotion of Digital Payment infrastructure at Retail Outlets (ROs), as on 01.12.2024, 1,03,224 e-wallet facilities have been provided at 84,203 ROs across the country. 84,203 ROs have been enabled with BHIM UPI.Under Swachchh Bharat Mission, toilet facilities are ensured at every retail outlets. As on 01.12.2024, 83618 ROs have toilet facility which includes 66026 ROs having separate toilet facility for male and female.As on 01.12.2024, Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have commissioned total 3,097 Door to Door Delivery (DDD) Bowsers through Dealers and Start-ups.Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) are being provided at Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) ROs. As on 01.12.2024, OMCs have installed 17,939 EV charging stations and 206 battery swapping Station across India. NATURAL GAS PIPELINES The length of operational Natural Gas Pipeline in the country has increased from 15,340 Km in 2014 to 24,945 Kms as on 30.09.2024. Further, development of about 10,805 Kms Natural Gas Pipeline is under execution. With the completion of these pipelines authorized by PNGRB/GoI, the national gas grid would be completed and would connect all major demand and supply centre in India. This would ensure easy availability of natural gas across all regions and also help to achieve uniform economic and social progress. UNIFIED PIPELINE TARIFF The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (“PNGRB”) has amended PNGRB (Determination of Natural Gas Pipeline Tariff) Regulations to incorporate the regulations pertaining to Unified Tariff for natural gas pipelines with a mission of “One Nation, One Grid and One tariff”.PNGRB has notified a levelized Unified Tariff of Rs.80.97/MMBTU w.e.f. 01.07.2024 and created three tariff zones for Unified Tariff, where the first zone is up to a distance of 300 kms from gas source, second zone is 300 – 1200 kms and third zone is beyond 1200 kms.The national gas grid covers all the interconnected pipeline networks owned and operated by entities viz. Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, GAIL (India) Limited, Pipeline Infrastructure Limited,

Gujarat State Petronet Limited, Gujarat Gas Limited, Reliance Gas Pipelines Limited, GSPL India Gasnet Limited and GSPL India Transco Limited.The reform will specially benefit the consumers located in the far-flung areas where currently the additive tariff is applicable and facilitate development of gas markets and vision of government to increase the gas utilisation in the country. CITY GAS DISTRIBUTION (CGD) COVERAGE PNGRB has authorized 307 Geographical Areas for development of CGD infrastructure with a potential coverage of about 100% of country’s area and 100 % of the population. As on 30.09.2024, the total number of PNG (D) connections and CNG Stations in the country was 1.36 Cr and 7259, respectively. SATAT INITIATIVES SATAT initiative was launched on 1st October 2018, to promote an ecosystem for production and utilization of Compressed Bio Gas (CBG).· As on 30.11.2024, 80 CBG plants have been commissioned and 72 CBG plants are at various stages of construction. · The Ministry has issued guidelines for synchronization of CBG with CNG in CGD Network; · A scheme for the development of pipeline infrastructure (DPI) for injection of CBG into the City Gas Distribution (CGD) network has been launchedto provide financial support for extending pipeline connectivity from CBG plant to the city gas distribution grid. · Online portal for receiving application under DPI Scheme has been activated w.e.f. 1st September, 2024. · Ministry has also issued detailed guidelines for procurement of Biomass Aggregation Machinery (BAM) on 2nd February 2024. The Scheme envisages financial support to the CBG producers for procuring Biomass Aggregation Machineries. · Government has announced phase wise mandatory selling of CBG in CNG (T) and PNG (D) segment of CGD network to promote the production and utilization of CBG.CBG Obligation (CBO) is presently voluntary till FY 2024-2025 and mandatory selling obligation would start from FY 2025-26. CBO shall be kept as 1%, 3% and 4% of total CNG/PNG consumption for FY 2025-26, 2026-27 and 2027-28 respectively. From 2028-29 onwards CBO will be 5%. REVIEW DOMESTIC GAS ALLOCATION FOR CGD ENTITIES To cater the growing demand of CGD sector and to protect the common people from price volatility, the Government has released new CGD sector Gas allocation Guidelines wherein the allocation of PNG (Domestic) segment was increased (i.e. 105% of PNGD consumption in the previous quarter) and balance available volume to be supplied to CNG (T) segment on prorate basis.The revised methodology has been helpful for the CGD entity as the lag between the allocation and reference period has been reduced from average of 6 months to average of 3 months which reflects a more realistic consumption data. DOMESTIC GAS PRICING Revised guidelines have been issued in April 2023 for gas produced from nomination fields of ONGC/OIL, New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) blocks and pre-NELP blocks, where Production Sharing Contract (PSC) provides for Government’s approval of prices.The price of such natural gas shall be 10% of the monthly average of Indian Crude Basket and shall be notified on a monthly basis and shall have a floor and a ceiling.The reduced gas price shall positively impact the domestic, Fertilizer and power consumers. BIO FUELS AND ETHANOL BLENDING Under Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme, supplies of ethanol has increased from 38 crore litres in Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2013-14 to 707.40 crore litres in ESY 2023-24, thereby achieving an average blending of 14.60% ethanol in Petrol. For the ongoing ESY (2024-2025), Ethanol blending have further improved to 16.23% as on 29.12.2024. The Public Sector OMCs have started dispensing E20 petrol (20% ethanol in petrol) at more than 17,400 retail outlets across the country. In the last ten years, EBP programme has translated into forex impact of over Rs.1,08,600/- crore, net CO2 reduction of 557 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) and expeditious payment to farmers to a tune of over Rs.

92,400/- crores.During April to November 2024, OMCs have procured 36.68 crore litres of biodiesel for the bio-diesel blending programme as against 29.25 crore litres during April to November 2023.Green Hydrogen: Oil & Gas PSU have planned for 900 KTPA Green Hydrogen Projects (EPC & BOO mode) by 2030. 42 KTPA tenders have been floated by PSU refineries, which are likely to be awarded by March 2025. Approximately 128 KTPA tenders will be issued by PSU refineries based on the outcome of the ongoing tenders.The Government has set an indicative target of 1%, 2% and 5% blending of SAF in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) initially for international flights with effect from 2027, 2028 and 2030, respectively.The PM JI-VAN Yojana has been amended vide notification dated 21.08.2024, incorporating key changes, such as Inclusion of advance biofuels in place of “2G ethanol.”, Eligibility for bolt-on and brownfield projects and Extension of the scheme’s timeline up to FY 2028-29. REFINING CAPACITY The country has 22 operating refineries with a total refining capacity of 256.8 Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum (MMTPA).Eighteen refineries are in public sector, three are in private sector and one as a joint venture. Out of the total refining capacity of 256.8 MMTPA, 157.3 MMTPA is in the public sector, 11.3 MMTPA in joint venture, and the balance 88.2 MMTPA is in the private sector. Further, refining capacity is likely to increase from 256.80 MMTPA to 309.50 MMTPA by 2028 on account of refinery capacity expansion projects being implemented in 11 PSU refineries as well as setting up of new grassroot refinery. EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION Hydrocarbon Exploration Licensing Policy (HELP): To exploit the huge potential of oil and gas in Indian sedimentary basins, the government launched the Open Acreage Licensing Program (OALP) as a part of the Hydrocarbon Exploration Licensing Policy (HELP) in March 2016. The new exploration policy provides for a paradigm shift from Production Sharing Contract (PSC) regime to Revenue Sharing Contract (RSC) regime. Total 144 blocks covering more than 2,42,056 Sq. Km. area have been allocated to the companies in eight concluded OALP Bid Rounds with committed investment of ~ 3.137 billion USD. Till date, 13 hydrocarbon discoveries have been made in blocks awarded under OALP and one discovery is already producing gas (0.44 MMSCMD) in Gujarat while other discoveries are under appraisal phase. Further in round IX of OALP, area of approximately 1,36,596 Sq. Km. spread over 8 sedimentary basins was offered and the same has received a very good response from the bidders. The bids received are under evaluation and Blocks will be awarded to successful bidders very soon. Thereafter, an area of 1,91,986.21 Sq. Km. have been finalized for International Competitive Bidding in OALP Bid Round-X.Further, a total of 741 (132 exploratory and 609 development) wells have been drilled in FY 2023-24. The gas production has increased from 34.45 BCM in FY 2022-23 to 36.44 BCM in FY 2023-24. A total of 12 discoveries have been made in nomination and contractual regimes in FY 2023-24. A total of 16645.31 LKM of 2D seismic and 15701.17 SKM of 3D seismic surveys have been conducted during FY 2023-24. Moreover, during FY 2023-24, under Airborne Gravity Gradiometry and Gravity Magnetic Survey (AGG & GM) Survey, a total of 42,944 Flight LKM 2D Seismic Data was also acquired.Discovered Small Field Policy (DSF) Policy: Government introduced DSF Policy in Year 2015. Three Rounds of DSF Bidding concluded till date and 85 Contracts signed whereas 55 Contracts are currently active. 5 fields are on Production and cumulative production till March 2024 is 520 Mbbl Oil and 138 MMSCM Gas. DSF Rounds has brought 15 New Players. CBM in India: With 15 Blocks and a production rate of 1.8 MMSCMD, CBM has achieved a cumulative production of ~6.38 BCM, with more than USD 2.46 billion investment received till date. More blocks are being identified for offer in future bid rounds.

No-Go areas opened for E&P: Around 99% of erstwhile ‘No-Go’ area of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) which were blocked exploration for decades have been opened for E&P. After the release of ‘No-Go’ areas, so far bids/expression of interests for 1,52,325 Sq. Km. area have been received. Two gas discoveries have also been made by ONGC in Mahanadi offshore recently in a block having 94% area in ‘No-Go’ area. Andaman offshore area has also been opened for exploration and production activities after a long-time post removal of restrictions imposed by defense and space agencies. Government Funded Programs for E&P: The Government is committed to increase exploration in Indian sedimentary basins. An investment of around Rs. 7,500 crore is planned for acquisition of new seismic data, including that of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), financing stratigraphic wells and acquiring aerial survey data in difficult terrains in the recently launched Mission Anveshan and Extended Continental Shelf Survey Schemes. Stratigraphic Wells: Four offshore stratigraphic wells in Category-II and Category-III basins, namely Mahanadi, Bengal, Saurashtra and Andamans, with the outlay of Rs 3200 crores will help us understand the sub surface geology better in these basins where prospectivity is yet to be commercially established. [figure Rs.3200 crore is included in the figure of Rs.7500 crore mentioned in the above point]National Data Repository: In July 2017, Government of India has set up an E&P data bank, National Data Repository (NDR), with state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure for preservation, upkeep and dissemination of data to enable its systematic use for future exploration and development. Having an NDR for India has helped in enhancing prospects of petroleum exploration and facilitating the Bidding Rounds by improving the availability of quality data. National Data Repository (NDR) is being upgraded to a cloud based NDR, which will enable instant dissemination of seismic, well and production data. The project is expected to be completed by the end of this financial year. National Seismic Program: Government formulated National Seismic Programme (NSP) in October, 2016 to appraise the unappraised areas in all sedimentary basins of India where no/scanty data was available. Under the programme, Government approved the proposal for conducting 2D seismic survey for data Acquisition, Processing and Interpretation (API) of 48,243 Line Kilo Metres (LKM). A total of 46,960 LKM (~97%) 2D seismic data could be acquired out of the target 48,243 LKM. Processing and interpretation of 46,960 LKM data has been completed and the data has been submitted to National Data Repository (NDR) along with reports. INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION Diversification of Oil & Gas Sources: In the financial year 2023-24, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas undertook robust measures to strengthen India’s energy security. We expanded our crude oil sourcing, reducing dependency on specific geographies.To transition towards a gas-based economy and diversification, Indian PSUs IOCL and GAIL executed long-term LNG supply agreements with ADNOC, UAE, securing approximately 2.7 MMT of LNG annually. Global Biofuels Alliance: The Global Biofuels Alliance (GBA), launched in September 2023 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister during the G20 Summit, has seen remarkable growth, with 28 member countries and 12 international organizations joining the alliance and continues to expand. Additionally, GBA signed Head Quarters Agreement with Government of India in October 2024 for establishment of the GBA Secretariat in India underscores our commitment to global leadership in clean energy. Engagement with Neighbouring countries: India has proactively fostered energy linkages with neighboring countries. For instance, with Nepal, Government of India signed a G2G MoU in May 2023 for development of petroleum infrastructure, followed by a commercial B2B agreement between IOCL and NOC of Nepal in October 2024.

Additionally, Government of India signed a landmark MoU with Bhutan for the supply of petroleum products. International partnership on clean energy and Hydrocarbon Sector: India and the United States continued to deepen their partnership through the Strategic Clean Energy Partnership (SCEP), aligning with the India-US Climate & Clean Energy Agenda 2030. The September 2024 Ministerial Meeting marked significant advancements in clean energy collaboration. In November 2024, during the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s state visit, India and Guyana entered into a landmark agreement to strengthen cooperation in the hydrocarbon sector. India’s commitment to clean energy extends to 2G/3G biofuels, green hydrogen, and other emerging fuels. Recently in June 2024, India signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Italy for collaboration in green hydrogen and sustainable biofuels.Hon’ble Minister PNG along with Minister of Mines and Energy of Brazil issued a joint statement on Sustainable Aviation Fuel for coordinated position at international forum to promote SAF. STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVES Hon’ble Prime Minister in February 2019 dedicated 5.33 MMT of strategic crude oil storage in SPR Phase-I (1.5 MMT SPR facility in Mangalore and 2.5 MMT SPR facility in Padur and 1.3 MMT SPR facility in Vishakhapatnam).Under Phase II of the petroleum reserve programme, Government has given approval in July 2021 for establishing two additional commercial-cum-strategic facilities with total storage capacity of 6.5 MMT (underground storages at Chandikhol (4 MMT) and Padur (2.5 MMT)) on PPP mode. Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserve Limited (ISPRL) had completed the Detailed Feasibility Report (DFR) and geotechnical surveys for the project site in Chandikhol, District Jajpur, Odisha. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the project has also been carried out by National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur.In December 2022, Government of Odisha requested ISPRL to explore other sites in Odisha. In view of anticipated delay in pursuing alternate land and need for carrying out feasibility studies once again, Government of Odisha has been requested to allocate the same land at Chandikhol for which ISPRL had earlier submitted application and completed feasibility studies. HYDROCARBON PROJECTS & INVESTMENTS Oil and Gas sector is a key driver of economic growth and, therefore, infrastructure projects provide a boost to the national economy and would contribute towards job creation, material movement, etc. As of October 2024, there are 283 projects under implementation of the Oil & Gas CPSEs costing ₹ 5 crore & above with a total anticipated cost of ₹ 5.70 lakh crore. The targeted expenditure on these projects in FY 2024-25 is ₹ 79,264 crore against which Rs.37,138 crore is the actual expenditure as of October, 2024. These projects, inter-alia, include Refinery projects, Bio Refineries, E&P Projects, Marketing infrastructure projects, Pipelines, CGD projects, drilling/survey activities, etc. Out of 283 projects, 89 are major projects costing ₹500 crore & above with an anticipated cost of ₹ 5.51 lakh crore. 50 projects have been completed in the current FY 2024-25 with an anticipated cumulative cost of ₹ 4,519 crore. Reducing Energy Dependence: Government has adopted a multi-pronged strategy to reduce the import dependency on oil & gas which, inter alia, includes demand substitution by promoting the usage of natural gas as fuel/feedstock across the country towards increasing the share of natural gas in the economy and moving towards gas-based economy, promotion of renewable and alternate fuels like ethanol, second-generation ethanol, compressed biogas and biodiesel, refinery process improvements, promoting energy efficiency and conservation, efforts for increasing production of oil and natural gas through various policies initiatives, etc. The Government has been promoting the blending of ethanol in petrol under the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme.

Blending of Petrol has reached approximately 14.6% during Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2023-24. During the last ten years, EBP Programme helped in expeditious payment of approx. Rs. 92,409 crore to the farmers as on 30.09.2024. During the same period, EBP programme has also resulted in approximate savings of more than Rs. 1,08,655 crore of foreign exchange, crude oil substitution of 185 lakh metric tonnes and net CO2 reduction of about 557 lakh metric tonnes. It is anticipated that 20% ethanol blending in petrol is likely to result in payment of more than Rs. 35,000 crore annually to the farmers. For promoting the use of Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) as automotive fuel, the ustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) initiative has also been launched. Financial performance of Oil PSUs Financial performance of Oil PSUs: Total budgeted Internal and Extra Budgetary Resources (IEBR) for CPSEs’ under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in FY 2024-25 is ₹ 1,18,499 crore against which Rs 97,667 crore is the actual expenditure as on 30.11.2024 which is 82.4 % of the budgeted IEBR. During the same period of FY 2023-24, against IEBR of Rs 1,06,401 crore, actual expenditure was Rs.75418 crore which was 70.9% of the budgeted IEBR. FLAGSHIP PROGRAMMES StartUp India: The PSUs under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas have created startup funds aggregating to Rs. 547.35 Crore. At present, a total no. of 303 Startups have been funded by Oil and Gas PSUs with disbursed fund value of approximately Rs. 286.36 Crores. Skill Development: Skill Development Institutes (SDls) for hydrocarbon sector have been set up at six cities viz Bhubaneswar, Vizag, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Guwahati and Raebareli by IOCL,HPCL, BPCL,ONGC,OIL and GAIL respectively. Till Nov’24, more than 41547 trainees have been trained in these SDIs. Several high priority trades have been identified in consultation with the Industry members for National Occupational Standard (NOS)/ Qualification Pack (QP) development. Till date, 55 QPs have been approved by National Skill Qualification Committee (NSQC). [ad_2] Source link

Installing a Continuous Gas Hot Water System in NZ

Continuous gas hot water systems, also known as tankless or instantaneous water heaters, are gaining popularity in New Zealand for their energy efficiency and reliable supply of hot water. Unlike traditional systems with storage tanks, these units heat water on demand, making them an excellent choice for modern households. Here’s everything you need to know about installing one in your NZ home. Click here for more information continuous gas hot water nz

How Continuous Gas Hot Water Systems Work

A continuous gas hot water system heats water directly as it flows through the unit. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water passes through a gas burner or heat exchanger, rapidly heating the water to the desired temperature. Once the tap is turned off, the system stops heating, conserving energy and eliminating the need for a storage tank.

Benefits of Continuous Gas Hot Water Systems

Endless Hot Water: Perfect for households with high water usage, these systems ensure you never run out of hot water, even during back-to-back showers or laundry loads.

Energy Efficiency: By heating water only when needed, these systems reduce energy consumption compared to traditional storage tank models.

Space-Saving Design: The compact design frees up space in your home, as there’s no bulky storage tank.

Durability: With proper maintenance, these systems can last longer than conventional water heaters.

Environmental Benefits: Lower energy use translates to a reduced carbon footprint, aligning with New Zealand’s sustainability goals.

Choosing the Right System

When selecting a continuous gas hot water system, consider the following:

Flow Rate: Ensure the unit can handle your household's peak hot water demand, measured in liters per minute (L/min). Larger households may need higher capacity units.

Energy Source: Most systems in NZ use natural gas or LPG. Choose based on availability and cost in your area.

Temperature Control: Look for systems with adjustable temperature settings for convenience and safety.

Efficiency Rating: Check for models with high energy efficiency ratings to maximize savings and minimize emissions.

Installation Process

Consult a Licensed Plumber: In New Zealand, gas appliances must be installed by a certified professional to meet safety regulations and compliance standards.

Assess Site Requirements: The plumber will evaluate your home’s gas supply, water pressure, and space for installation. Outdoor units are common in NZ, but indoor options with proper ventilation are also available.

Prepare for Installation: The process involves connecting the unit to your gas line, water pipes, and power supply (for ignition systems). A proper gas connection ensures safe and efficient operation.

Compliance Testing: After installation, the plumber will test the system to ensure it meets NZ safety and performance standards.

Post-Installation Maintenance: Periodic servicing is crucial to maintain efficiency and extend the unit’s lifespan.

Costs and Considerations

Installation Costs: The cost of installation varies depending on your home’s plumbing and gas infrastructure. While upfront costs may be higher than traditional systems, energy savings often offset this over time.

Location Regulations: Ensure the unit complies with local regulations, particularly for gas safety and ventilation.

Water Pressure: Some units require specific water pressure levels to function optimally. Your plumber can recommend solutions if adjustments are needed.

Conclusion

A continuous gas hot water system is a practical and energy-efficient solution for NZ homes, offering endless hot water and significant energy savings. By working with a licensed professional and selecting the right system for your needs, you can enjoy the convenience and long-term benefits of this modern technology.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 27th Nov. Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in the Constitution Day program at the Supreme Court in New Delhi today, alongside Chief Justice of India Shri Sanjiv Khanna, Supreme Court judges, and other dignitaries. The event marked the 75th anniversary of the Indian Constitution. In his address, PM Modi emphasized the living, evolving nature of the Constitution, quoting Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who described the document as “not a mere lawyer’s document, but the spirit of the age.” Modi remarked that the Constitution not only guided India’s past but continues to shape its future. He further stressed that the goal of every citizen today is to contribute to building a “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India), ensuring social and economic justice for all. Reflecting on the past 75 years, Modi spoke about the constitutional framework’s ability to navigate challenges, including the Emergency period, and its continued relevance in Jammu and Kashmir post-Article 370 revocation. The PM highlighted significant reforms, such as the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita for speedy justice, the transformation from a punishment-based system to a justice-based system, and initiatives like the Women’s Reservation Bill. The Prime Minister also discussed the government’s efforts in socio-economic justice, such as the opening of 53 crore bank accounts, the provision of pucca houses, LPG connections, and household tap water connections. He noted that the essence of the Constitution is reflected in policies that uplift marginalized sections, such as the third gender and persons with disabilities. Highlighting India’s strides in ensuring ease of living, Modi spoke about initiatives like free healthcare for senior citizens, digital life certificates for the elderly, and the expansion of broadband and mobile connectivity in remote areas. He also discussed the Aspirational Districts Program and infrastructure development, asserting that timely project completion enhances public welfare and embodies the Constitution’s spirit. In conclusion, PM Modi quoted Dr. Rajendra Prasad’s speech from November 26, 1949, urging citizens to put the nation’s interests above their own, reinforcing the idea that India’s future is rooted in the ideals of the Constitution.
