Think Tank
For years, A. O. Smith has set the industry
standard for performance and quality in
heavy-duty commercial applications. The latest
enhancement to the groundbreaking Cyclone
™
family, Cyclone Xi
functionality, performance and
design to a whole new level.
has taken water heater
Now with a broader line to choose from, high
thermal efficiency, superior tank protection
and the new intelligent control system, the
Cyclone Xi is not only the benchmark in the
high efficiency commercial water heating
category—it’s simply the smartest
water heater ever made.

The Breadth Of Innovation
UNRIVALED VENTING VERSATILITY
The Cyclone Xi features power-vent and power direct-vent design, allowing clean uncontaminated
air to be drawn directly into the unit with the flue gas products vented conventionally through the
ceiling or directly through the wall to the outside.

EASIER TO INSTALL
Because installation space today is almost always at a premium, we’ve designed the Cyclone to install in
an absolute minimum of space. The exhaust outlet and fresh air intakes are positioned so the water
heater can be placed either in a corner or against a wall.
ADVANCED GLASS LINING TECHNOLOGY
Exclusive PermaGlas®Ultra Coat™glass lining protects all Cyclone
water heaters. PermaGlas Ultra Coat provides superior protection for
all inner tank surfaces, as well as for the inside of the heat exchanger,
which would otherwise be vulnerable to corrosion from flue gas
condensate. The innovative helical coil minimizes weld points to
extend tank life.
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Cyclone Xi water heaters can be installed in manifolded
multiples to serve the highest demand applications in place of
boiler systems. For example, four BTH-500s can be manifolded
to provide total storage of 520 gallons with an input of
2,000,000 BTU.

Cyclone HE
®
The light-commercial Cyclone HE®is designed to
produce more hot water than any comparable
commercial gas water heater available today. The
power-vent Cyclone HE combines the power of
76,000 BTU input with 90% thermal efficiency. The
Cyclone HE is perfect for drive-through or fast food
restaurants, offices and other light-duty applications.
It provides the technology and performance that
lives up to the A. O. Smith standard.
The Innovation
That Started It All
A. The pre-mixed burner design delivers
maximum efficiency.
B. When the mixture is ignited by the hot
surface igniter, a swirling flame shoots
downward into the submerged central
combustion chamber.
C. The resulting hot flue gases are then
forced at high velocity through a helical
heat exchanger coil.
D. The spiral shape of the coil keeps the hot
gases swirling against the heat exchanger
walls, resulting in extra-high thermal efficiency.
REVOLUTIONARY HEAT EXCHANGER
AND BURNER SYSTEMS
The helical internal heat exchanger in all Cyclone
models swirls the hot gases, like a cyclone, against the
heat exchanger walls. This cyclonic action produces an
extra-high rate of heat transfer, resulting in extrahigh thermal efficiency. All Cyclone Xi models employ
an ingenious top-mounted down-fire pre-mix burner,
resulting in even higher efficiencies
.
CYCLONE Xi MODELS USE THE LATEST IN BURNER TECHNOLOGY
This exclusive design delivers 95% thermal efficiency on
the BTH-120 through BTH-250 and with the BTH-500.
The BTX-100, BTH-300 and BTH-400 boost efficiency
to up to 96%.
