TRICON - Condensing Water Heaters

87% to 90% thermal efficiency at full firing rate.

TRICON is a fire tube, condensing storage water heater featuring a 3-pass heat exchanger. Modulating burner with up to 10-to-1 turndown is available. MODBUS connectable operating control. Less than 20 ppm NOx available on most models.

With modulation, efficiency can increase to 95% during partial load demand.

Featuring a tank and heating surfaces constructed entirely of AquaPLEX, a high-chromium duplex material that requires no lining. Naturally impervious to water corrosion and provides superior resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking compared to 316L stainless steel. ASME approved material.
