Hot-Pak®

Semi-Instantaneous Hot Water Heater

In most commercial and industrial facilities, hot water isn’t something people can wait for – they need it now! That’s why you need a Thrush Hot Pak®, our state-of-the-art semi-instantaneous water heating system that provides an uninterrupted supply of hot water without the need of a storage tank. 

Instant hot water is a necessity for hospitals, universities, hotels, and countless commercial and industrial facilities. Thrush Hot-Pak® is a pre-engineered system that provides the continuous supply of hot water you need without the expense of large storage tanks. The compact, state-of-the-art water heater is available in:

  • Single or double-wall designs
  • Horizontal or vertical designs
  • Control Panel options

Combined with duplex stainless steel or premium copper-nickel construction, the Hot-Pak® system provides superior corrosion resistance, better temperature control, and higher energy efficiency.

Why choose Hot-Pak® 

The space-saving vertical 24” to 30” square footprint of our Hot-Pak® along with our horizontal designs make it ideal for tight installations.

From Problem to Solution

Fluctuations in temperature may cause serious issues – and bulky storage tanks may not be an option.
A well-controlled hot water supply with consistent flow rates is challenging and costly with standard storage tank systems. Fluctuations in circulating hot water temperature are common and can cause serious repercussions for sensitive downstream operations. 

Improper temperature control can lead to: 

  • Mineral buildup and corrosion 
  • Downstream issues in operations requiring instant hot water
  • Eyewash and safety shower delays which could be in violation of Health & Safety regulations  
  • Wasted energy 

To maintain a smooth downstream operation, with instant hot water consistently available at the flow rates you require, engineers choose the famous Thrush Hot-Pak®.

The Hot-Pak® Solution

We designed our Hot-Pak® water heating technology to eliminate the need for storage tanks and provide instant hot water with rigorous temperature control. Designed in accordance with ASME requirements, the Thrush Hot-Pak® is ideal for hospitals, hotels, correctional facilities, universities, and industrial applications – anywhere instant hot water is needed. The Thrush Hot-Pak® features several competitive advantages:

  • Adaptable to tight spaces using sleek, space-saving vertical and horizontal design options
  • Manufactured with superior materials:
    • 316/Duplex stainless-steel shell combats the damaging effects of chlorine and provides strong resistance against chloride stress cracking
    • Premium Copper-nickel provides superior resistance against corrosion
  • 6 port leak detection on double wall models allows for leak detection before the liquid can cross-contaminate
  • 3-speed circulator for adjustment to the proper de-stratification and anticipation level
  • Superior safety with a vacuum breaker to break the vacuum formed on the steam side and an ASME standard relief valve to provide instant safety action against high-pressure buildup

The Thrush Hot-Pak® maintains the thermal quality of fluid, provides height and diameter selection flexibility, and rigid safety control to ensure safe operation.

Safety First

Thrush has incorporated two safety features in our Hot-Pak® system, making it a top choice for end users. The T&P relief valve is installed on the water-side of the heater to prevent overheated water and pressure, the high-temperature solenoid valve is electrically actuated to dump overheated water if the temperature inside the shell exceeds a predetermined set point on the temperature aquastat.
