Hatco S-15 Imperial Electric Booster Water Heater, 15 kW, 16 Gal., 208/240/480V
Raises incoming hot water to the 180°F final rinse a high-temp dishmachine needs, from a 16-gallon tank built for busy dish rooms.
The Hatco S-15 is a 15 kW Imperial electric booster water heater. It stores 16 gallons in a Castone-lined tank and recovers 151 gallons per hour at a 40°F temperature rise, or 86 gallons per hour at a 70°F rise. Service access is from the front, so it can be installed close to other equipment, and the thermostat can be lowered to a 140°F setting for low-temp dishmachines. Choose 208V 1-phase, 208V 3-phase, 240V 1-phase, 240V 3-phase or 480V 3-phase power when you order.
Have the electrician confirm the voltage, phase and circuit before the heater arrives: Hatco electric boosters are hard wired with no cord or plug.
At 15 kW the S-15 heats 151 gallons per hour through a 40°F rise and 86 gallons per hour through a 70°F rise, for a 180°F final rinse.
The 16-gallon tank has a Castone lining and fiberglass insulation to cut heat loss. Hatco backs the tank with a 10-year limited warranty.
A low-water cut-off keeps the elements off when the tank is low, and a high-temperature limit switch adds a second safety.
Controls and service area open from the front, and a built-in heat trap helps hold heat in the tank.
It arrives pre-plumbed and pre-wired with an immersion thermostat, temperature/pressure relief valve, pressure reducing valve and two temperature/pressure gauges.
Size it by the gallons per hour your dishmachine rinse uses and your incoming water temperature. The S-15 recovers 151 GPH at a 40°F rise (140°F in, 180°F out) and 86 GPH at a 70°F rise (110°F in). If your machine uses more, step up in kW.
Pick the voltage and phase you have on site: 208V 1-phase draws 72 A on a 90 A breaker; 208V 3-phase draws 41.7 A on a 60 A breaker; 240V 1-phase draws 62.5 A on a 90 A breaker; 240V 3-phase draws 36.1 A on a 50 A breaker; 480V 3-phase draws 18.1 A on a 30 A breaker. It is hard wired by a licensed electrician.
No. Only Hatco's 6, 7 and 9 kW models can be field converted, so order the voltage and phase you have.
Yes, if it is hard. Water over 3.0 grains of hardness per gallon must be treated and softened before it reaches the booster. Failure from liming or sediment is not covered by the warranty.
Yes. Hatco notes the Imperial thermostats can be lowered to a 140°F setting for low-temp dishmachines.
Hatco covers the booster tank for 1 year parts and labor plus 9 more years parts only. Other parts carry Hatco's standard 18-month limited warranty. Register the unit with Hatco within 90 days of factory shipment to qualify for added coverage.
