1) The Infinitely Continuous Combi -

Heats cold mains water instantly as it runs through the combi. It never runs
out of hot water. This is the most common type of combi, generally having
lower flowrates than Nos 2 & 3 below. The largest flow rate instant combi is
a two bathroom model, 22 litres/min ECO-Hometec. Being a condenser it is
very economical too. http://www.eco-hometec.co.uk

Sorry to be pinikity but it's hard to compare the flowrate of the ECO
hometec range since they quote their flow rate at a lower temperature
rise of 30K rather than the normal 35K that other manufacturers use.
However the ECO 38 is likely to have a very good flow rate since it
has a power of 46kW.

You can work out the results on the simple mass, specific heat and
temperature rise.

Their efficiency figures are also weird because
they use a figure of 110% to represent 100% efficiency!

Net figures as used elsewhere in Europe as opposed to the gross
figures used in the UK. Some people have difficulty understanding
the concept of latent heat unfortunately.


Further more that are extremely expensive.

Just good value for money.


However I'm sure they are very good.

Mmmm.
