Case Study: a Kentucky egg processing facility achieves reliable USDA-compliant hot water with Intellihot

Egg Processing Facility – Kentucky replaces 9 heaters with 4 Intellihot iN401 units for 1,999,996 BTU/hr

The customer, an egg processing facility in Kentucky, faced a significant challenge with its water heating system. It was using a rack of nine residential-grade tankless water heaters that frequently failed, lasting only one to two years on average. These failures resulted in water temperatures that did not meet USDA requirements, forcing the facility to scrap product. The vendor, Intellihot Inc., provided a solution using its iN401 commercial tankless water heaters.

Intellihot implemented a solution by installing four iN401 units, upgrading the facility to a true commercial heating system with a total capacity of nearly 2 million BTU/hr. The installation was handled by contractor Demand Mechanical, who found the Intellihot equipment straightforward to install. This solution provided the reliability, safety, and energy efficiency needed to ensure consistent hot water, eliminating production losses and meeting stringent USDA standards.
