FOREWORD
The AERCO Innovation Series Potable Water Heaters are modulating units which represent a
true industry advance that meets the needs of today's energy efficiency and environmental
concerns. Designed for use in any domestic water heating system, each Innovation model
provides precisely-controlled potable water within ±2°F (1.1°C) of setpoint, regardless of flow
rate. Innovation’s compact size and varied venting capabilities allow maximum installation
flexibility. The Innovation Series Heaters, with their load tracking controls modulate over a 20:1
turn down ratio to match the system demand and yield high thermal efficiencies.
Innovation Water Heaters are available in four (4) different sizes ranging from 600,000 BTU/Hr.
(175.8 kW) input to 1,350,000 BTU/Hr. (395.6 kW) input. In addition, all Innovation Heater sizes
now include Water Heater Management (WHM) software which is built in to the C-More
Controllers furnished with each unit. When the heater is ordered with a Sequencing Valve (SV),
up to eight (8) Innovation Water Heaters can be controlled by the WHM system utilizing RS485
Modbus protocol. All available Innovation Water Heater models are listed in the table on the
following page. As this table shows, units can be ordered with Factory Mutual (FM) or Double
Block and Bleed (formerly IRI) Gas Trains with or without Sequencing Valves.
When installed and operated on natural gas in accordance with this Instruction Manual, the
Innovation Series models covered herein comply with the NOx emission standards outlined in:
•
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), Rule 1146.2
•
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Title 30, Chapter 117,
Rule 117.465
Whether used in singular or modular arrangements, the Innovation Heaters offer the maximum
flexibility in venting with minimum installation space requirements. Innovation’s advanced
electronic controls offer simplified integration with today’s Energy Management Systems.
