Helical Internal Heat Exchanger

Commercial Gas Water Heaters

96% THERMAL EFFICIENCY VERSATILE POWER DIRECT-VENT

The Cyclone Xi™ is a light-duty, power direct-vent, fully condensing commercial gas water heater with an internal helical heat exchanger. This helical heat exchanger helps Cyclone Xi achieve 96% thermal efficiency and deliver outstanding hot water output.

nCompletely surrounded by water in tank, provides much greater heat transfer surface than standard straight flue tube

nProduces 96% thermal efficiency, which saves money on operating costs, increases hot water output compared to standard-efficiency water heaters

nMinimizes standby losses by trapping heat in the tank

VERSATILE POWER DIRECT-VENT DESIGN

nPower Direct-Vent System allows up to 120 feet using PVC, CPVC, or ABS pipe. Can be vented vertically thru-the-roof or horizontally thru-the-wall

n2” pipe, vents up to 20 equivalent feet

n3” pipe, vents up to 60 equivalent feet

n4” pipe, vents up to 120 equivalent feet

nOptional concentric vent kit available

CONDENSING DESIGN

n96% efficient condensing deign

nEquipped with condensate drain tee

HIGH OUPUT WITH SMALL FOOTPRINT

n22” diameter, combined with 96% efficiency, 50-gallon tank and 100,000 BTU input means Cyclone Xi can be installed in less space than a larger 75-gallon unit, with equal or better performance

nTotal height is 68-1/2” to top of unit

SIDE-MOUNTED HOT AND COLD RECIRCULATING TAPS

nAllows Cyclone Xi to be installed as part of combination space heating/water heating applications, or any system requiring a recirculating hot water loop

nPlugs for the recirculating taps are factory installed

ADVANCED ELECTRONIC CONTROL

nLarge LCD display

nPrecise temperature control

nAdvanced diagnostics
