Features

Features

 N/A Helical Internal Heat Exchanger
  • Completely surrounded by water in tank, provides much greater heat transfer surface than standard straight flue tube.
  • Operates at 90% thermal efficiency, which saves money on operating costs, increases hot water output compared to standard efficiency water heaters.
  • Minimizes standby losses by trapping heat in the tank.
  • Spiral heat exchanger reduces scale and sediment from forming on water-side surface, which can reduce energy efficiency over time.
Versatile Power Vent Design
  • Vents using inexpensive PVC, CPVC or ABS pipe. Canadian installations require ULC S636 listed PVC or CPVC pipe for venting.
  • 2" pipe, vents up to 20 equivalent feet.
  • 3" pipe, vents up to 60 equivalent feet.
  • 4" pipe, vents up to 120 equivalent feet.
Modular Blower
  • Equipped with 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical system (rating 5 amps or less), 6-foot cord with standard 3-prong connector.
  • 2" PVC pipe, elbows and condensate drain supplied to connect heat exchanger outlet to blower.
  • PVC Vent Attenuation Assembly (VAA) supplied for applications where extra-quiet operating environment is essential.
High Output With Small Footprint
  • 22" diameter, combined with 90% efficiency, 50-gallon tank and 76,000 BTU input means Cyclone® HE can be installed in less space than a larger 75-gallon unit, with equal or better performance.
  • Total height is 70-5/8" to top of unit.
Side-Mounted Hot and Cold Recirculating Taps
  • Allows Cyclone® HE to be installed as part of combination space heating/water heating applications, or any system requiring a recirculating hot water loop.
  • Plugs for the recirculating taps are factory installed.
Intelli-Vent™ (Intelli-Vent™ is a registered trademark of Emerson Electric Company) Gas Control
  • Equipped with long lasting silicon nitride hot surface igniter - no standing pilot.
  • Advanced electronics for more precise control of water temperature and easy-to-understand system diagnostics.
  • 180 ºF maximum temperature setting.
Permaglas® Ultra Coat™ Glass Lining
  • A.O. Smith® exclusive process provides superior protection against corrosion.
  • Protects all interior tank surfaces including inside and outside of helical heat exchanger.
Two Heavy-Duty Anode Rods
  • Provides advanced protection against corrosion.
Green Choice® Gas Burner
  • Patented "Eco-Friendly" design reduces NOx emissions and meets less than 40 ng/j requirements for low NOx.
