Commercial gas water heater
Ideal for large commercial applications, the Cyclone XL commercial gas water heater operates at 1-million Btu/h, with an additional 750,000 Btu/h model available. Its ability to adjust the firing rate to meet demand further increases efficiency and cost savings, A. O. Smith notes. Cyclone XL features a unique dual stainless steel heat exchange system, providing a two-step heat transfer process that delivers thermal efficiency of 97%. www.hotwater.com
Condensing water heaters
The updated line of ARMOR condensing water heaters is available in 10 models, ranging from 399,000 to 4-million Btu/h. The larger input models are constructed with superior-grade 316L stainless steel, which reduces heat loss and provides a greater performance of up to 99% thermal efficiency and reliability for large commercial applications, Lochinvar explains. Features include a 10:1 turndown ratio, and direct vent flexibility up to 150’ in floor mount, wall mount, indoor, outdoor and convertible options. www.lochinvar.com
BMS-ready units
Bradford White Water Heaters launches its BMS-ready Commander Series commercial gas water heaters. The Commander unites can now be easily integrated into building management system networks that monitor essential electrical, security, communications and other functions in large or multi-unit structures. BMS integration allows for real-time monitoring of water heater performance, the company points out. Benefits include quicker turnaround and less down time for maintenance and troubleshooting, which increases heater efficiency and limits the risk of equipment failure, Bradford White adds. www.bradfordwhite.com
Fully integrated pump
The NRCR residential condensing tankless water heater series uses a fully integrated pump to keep hot water close to even the farthest outlet in the home, minimizing the wait and, therefore, the waste of unused potable water down the drain, Noritz notes. The NRCR heats water strictly on-demand, saving energy by constantly eliminating the need to reheat a full storage tank. www.noritz.com
