Stiebel Eltron 203672 DHC-E 12 Classic Electric Tankless Water Heater
12 kW • 240/208V • High-Capacity Electronically Controlled Point-of-Use Performance
The Stiebel Eltron DHC-E 12 Classic (Part #203672) is a powerful, electronically controlled point-of-use electric tankless water heater designed for single sink applications requiring maximum temperature stability, higher flow capability, and superior performance. Operating on 240/208V power, this model delivers precision-controlled hot water with exceptional efficiency, making it ideal for demanding commercial and institutional environments.
Advanced Electronic Control for Temperature Stability
The DHC-E 12 Classic features intelligent electronic temperature control, continuously adjusting output based on incoming water temperature and flow rate. This ensures consistent, stable hot water delivery without the fluctuations commonly found in mechanically controlled systems.
This level of control is essential in applications where user comfort, hygiene, and performance consistency are critical.
High Output for Demanding Applications
With a 12 kW heating capacity at 240V (9.0 kW at 208V), the DHC-E 12 Classic provides significant temperature rise and strong flow performance, supporting demanding point-of-use requirements.
This higher output allows for:
- Improved performance in colder climates
- Support for higher flow rates (up to ~1.5 GPM depending on conditions)
- Consistent delivery in high-traffic or heavy-use environments
Efficient Tankless Operation
The unit utilizes a flow-activated, on-demand heating system, eliminating standby heat loss and ensuring energy is used only when hot water is required. This results in lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs compared to traditional tank systems.
The tankless design also provides continuous hot water, eliminating recovery time limitations.
