A. O. Smith has announced the addition of the Cyclone XL to its high-efficiency commercial gas water heating line. Cyclone XL operates at 1,000,000 Btu/hour with a smaller footprint than two current Cyclone 500,000 Btu/hr units. A 750,000 Btu/hr Cyclone XL model is also available.
Ideal for large commercial applications, such as hotels, healthcare facilities, multi-family housing complexes, stadiums, convention centers and high-rises, the Cyclone XL adjusts the firing rate to meet demand, further increasing efficiency and cost savings.
Cyclone XL also features a dual stainless-steel heat exchange system, providing a two-step heat transfer process that delivers thermal efficiencies of 97 percent. Intelligent Demand Response (IDR) automatically adjusts the differential set point to increase availability of hot water during large demand periods. A. O. Smith’s PermaGlas glass-lining provides corrosion-resistance for the stainless-steel heat exchange system and for the 119-gallon, ASME-certified storage tank.
The iCOMM connectivity platform comes standard with each model and provides remote monitoring, control of the set point and differential, and run history for each connected unit through the optional A. O. Smith app. The technology also provides detailed diagnostic fault notifications and fault histories to help minimize downtime for repairs and reduce lost revenue caused by service interruptions.
