PVI releases the enhanced Conquest® compact, condensing, semi-instantaneous, firetube water heaters that have improved thermal efficiency, optimized pump placement, and superior return on investment (ROI). Available in a range of inputs from 399 MBH to 1200 MBH and offering natural gas and propane options, the new Conquest water heaters are also available in indoor and outdoor configurations, including a CSD-1 version, to meet diverse installation needs.
The new Conquest offers commercial facility owners and managers three key benefits:
- Enhanced Thermal Efficiency: The upgraded straight firetube heat exchanger design increases the Conquest’s thermal efficiency to an impressive 98% across all inputs, making it one of the most energy-efficient models available.
- Optimized Pump Placement: The pump is now strategically positioned at the front and side of the water heaters, for easier access and improved reliability.
- Low NOx Emissions: The Conquest 400-1200 series is designed with environmental sustainability in mind, featuring low NOx emissions of less than 20 ppm. This makes it an eco-friendly choice that helps commercial facilities meet stringent environmental regulations while maintaining high performance.
In announcing the new models, Helen Ringle, Product Manager at PVI, said, “We’re excited to launch the updated Conquest, which builds on our commitment to providing energy-efficient, reliable, and affordable water-heating solutions. With its enhanced design, this enhanced water heater family offers greater energy savings while maintaining the durability our customers have grown to trust and rely upon. The Conquest 400-1200 delivers significant value and reinforces PVI’s dedication to long-lasting, high-performance products.”
Industry-leading Efficiency and Durability
The Conquest 400-1200 series features two compact, condensing, semi-instantaneous, firetube water heaters that offer superior ROI with warranties 3-5 times longer than those offered by competitors. They feature up to 98% thermal efficiency, seamless modulation for improved performance under low loads, and low NOx emissions of <20 ppm. The tank and heat exchanger are crafted from PVI’s proprietary AquaPLEX® duplex stainless steel alloy, providing resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking and eliminating the need for tank linings or anode rods. Additionally, the series is backed by a 15-year corrosion warranty on the tank and heat exchanger.
Equipped with an advanced electronic operating control, the Conquest series features a plain-text user interface that displays heater status, modulation rate, operating parameters, and fault information. The control also integrates with building automation systems (BAS) through Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP protocols. The Conquest is Department of Energy (DOE), Intertek/ETL, and ANSI certified, Energy Star-qualified, ASHRAE 90.1 compliant, and eligible for LEED certification.
