Efficiency • All units have an EF

of above 0.90• New Energy Star

program for On Demand is 0.82 minimum

• IRS tax rebates start at 0.80

• Testing verified at ETL or BR Labs

S Line Condensing• S Line is the name

given to the flow of combustion gas through the heat exchangers

• Two heat exchangers, Primary and Wet Recuperative are used to transfer heat from combustion to the water

S Line Condensing

• Increased efficiency using the by products of combustion to further heat water or air

What does Condensing mean?

Combustion• During combustion, 1 cubic Meter of Natural Gas

(Methane) makes 2 cubic meters of Water Vapor (Steam)

Recuperation of Latent Waste Heat

So how does it work?• As the combustion gases pass over the heat exchanger

heat is transferred to the water• By adding a separate heat exchanger and having the

inlet water enter that first additional heat exchange can be obtained removing heat and water from the combustion gas

• This removed water is called condensate and must be disposed of

• Basic theory is the colder the water entering the wet recuperative heat exchanger the higher the efficiency but…………..

• And obviously the higher the water temperature entering the unit the lower the performance gains are

Condensate• Condensate is acidic, the

colder the water the more acidic the condensate

• Therefore it has to be treated and the wet recuperative has to be able to withstand this

• This is why condensing water heaters have only recently become a viable option

Useful advantages of condensing

• Lower Flue gas temperatures

• ODW maximum flue gas temperature is 136 DegF

• This allows venting in Schedule 40 PVC in all states and provinces, with zero clearance

Venting

• Description – Sealed combustion or Direct Vent

• Both Intake and Exhaust air provided to the unit

• Ø3” for 099 & 120• Ø4” for 180 & 199

Venting• Maximum vent length is 45ft

equivalent, this is a per pipe length not a total

• Maximum 3 Elbows in vent pipe

• Each Elbow = 5ft of straight pipe, therefore with 3 Elbows in the system the maximum length of straight pipe is 30ft

• Less elbows = more straight pipe

• Termination already included, designed for Side wall mounting only

Vent Connection on unit• Recent experience has

told us that it needs to be simple to attach the venting to the unit

• Plastic connection to accept either 3” or 4” pipe directly on top of the unit

• PVC cement is required to bond the two together

Unit Control

• Standard control is via a wired controller which can be mounted either adjacent to the water heater or in a bathroom

• An optional Priority controller is available for a total of 2 controls on the system

Controller

Up and DownButtons set therequired hot watertemperature from the unit

On/OffButton turns theUnit On or Offas required

Priority buttonallows the secondthermostat to override the main

Temperature canbe set from 98-114DegF in 2 DegF increments or 120, 130, 140, 150 & 160 DegF settingsFactory default is 104

Optional Priority ControllerUp and DownButtons set therequired hot watertemperature from the unit different to that of the maincontroller

On/OffButton turns theUnit On or Offas required

Priority Light is lit.This allows the Second thermostat to override the mainUse if you want a hotter shower thanallowed for a kid’sshower

Delivered Water Temperature Control

• A stable delivered water temperature is of paramount importance

• We have 3 temperature sensors on this unit

• Entering Cold Water temperature

• Water temperature exiting the Heat Exchangers

• Delivered Water temperature


• 2 Control valves are used

• Flow Control Valve• Measure the flow rate

through the unit and report back to the main controller

• Minimum flow rate for operation is 0.7 GPM


• Bypass Control Valve

• This valve allows water to flow from supply to delivered water without passing through the heat exchanger

Why Bypass Control?

• Mixing in some cold water allows for a stable delivered water temperature, no peaks and troughs due to burner modulation

• Increases flow rate as we can provide a mixed condition water temperature

• Provides flow control in times of extremely high flow rates

End Result

• Hi Pro-Tech

• Reduced temperature fluctuations compared to competition and previous iterations of On Demand Water heaters

Capacity Modulation

• In order to provide performance across the range of flow rates available to the unit

• Modulation or turn down must be high, these units feature up to 8:1 turn down ratio

Modulation Range

• ODW 099A : 18,000 to 99,000 Btu/h

• ODW 120A : 18,000 to 120,000 Btu/h

• ODW 180A : 26,000 to 180,000 Btu/h

• ODW 199A : 26,000 to 199,000 Btu/h

Burner Assembly

• Dual burner assembly using in shot type of burner

LP Gas Conversion

• Replace burner manifold assembly with one specific to LP

• Change dip switch #1 to tell the unit that it is now LP

Noise Levels• Unit uses an up flow

design path for the combustion air

• This reduces the observed noise level as the induction noise is reduced compared to the previous Quietside units

Freeze Protection

• 48W Ceramic heaters attached to the water pipes

• Thermostat controlled when inlet air temperature drops to 41 DegF

Safeties• 15 Specific Error codes controlling the unit

• Overheat, Ignition failure, sensor errors, condensate overflow, air pressure, fan motor, flame failure, freeze protection etc

• Error codes displayed on the unit controller

• All error codes require unit to be reset, except for freeze protection

Bar code tracking system• The unit and the main components

such as main circuit board, pump

motor, three way valve, modulating

gas valve, and plate heat exchanger

has an individual bar code

• The assemblers scan the data and

save it with the bar code of the entire

unit to the main server of the facility.

If any problems with the components

are found, you can trace where the

product is installed.
