Cyclone HE Natural Gas Storage Tank Water Heater BTX-80

Features

• Commercial tank type water heater
• Helical internal heat exchanger - completely surrounded by water in tank, provides much greater heat transfer surface than standard straight flue tube. Produces 90% thermal efficiency, which saves money on operating costs, increases hot water output compared to standard-efficiency water heaters. Minimizes standby losses by trapping heat in the tank. Spiral heat exchanger reduces scale and sediment from forming on water-side surface, which can reduce energy efficiency over time.
• Side-mounted hot and cold recalculating taps -allows cyclone he to be installed as part of combination space heating/water heating applications, or any system requiring a recalculating hot water loop. Plugs for the recalculating taps are factory installed
• Intelli-vent gas control - equipped with long lasting silicon nitride hot surface igniter - no standing pilot. Advanced electronics for more precise control of water temperature and easy-to-understand system diagnostics
• Permaglas ultra coat glass lining - a. O. Smith exclusive process provides superior protection against corrosion. Protects all interior tank surfaces including inside and outside of helical heat exchanger.
• Two heavy-duty anode rods - provides advanced protection against corrosion
• Green choice gas burner patented -ineco-friendlyin design reduces NOx emissions and meets less than 40 ng/j requirements for low NOx
• Recovery cap. 180 F Rise GPH: 83
• Gallon capacity: 50
• Input BTU/HR : 100,000
• Versatile power-direct vent design - system allows combined vertical and horizontal vent runs terminating through an outside wall, using schedule 40 PVC or ulc s636 approved PVC pipe.
• Document{{$literal=Your costs will depend on your utility rates and use. Cost range based only on models of similar capacity fueled by [natural gas, oil, propane, or electricity]. Estimated operating cost is based on a 2007 national average [electricity, natural gas, propane, or oil] cost of 10.65 cents per kWh or $1.218 per therm or gallon.

• High output with small footprint, combined with 90% efficiency, 50-gallon tank and 76,000 BTU input means cyclone he can be installed in less space than a larger 75-gallon unit, with equal or better performance
• Modular blower - equipped with 120 volt, 60 hz electrical system (rating 5 amps or less), 6-foot cord with standard 3-prong connector. 2in PVC pipe, elbows and condensate drain supplied to connect heat exchanger outlet to blower. PVC vent attenuation assembly (vaa) supplied for applications where extra-quiet operating environment is essential.
