FEATURES

 

The VF™ Boiler series delivers an exceptionally high thermal efficiency by combining an advanced modulating venturi-mixing gas/air ratio system with a vertical multi-pass copper heat exchanger for outstanding efficiency of up to 88% and low NOx emissions that meet or exceed the most stringent standards.

The VF™ Boiler is capable of firing from 100% to 25% or a 4:1 turndown ratio of rated input based on the current system demand. The VF’s modulating capability is virtually limitless, and the boiler’s output is based strictly on the current system demand and the required BTUs needed to maintain the desired system set point temperature.

ADVANCED HIGH EFFICIENCY, LOW NOx COMBUSTION TECHNOLOGY

Venturi-mixing gas/air ratio system - Works with variable speed blower to precisely mix gas and air throughout firing range.

4:1 Turndown - Fully modulating capability prevents energy-stealing short cycling and provides smooth system operation with higher overall system efficiencies

LOW NOx OPERATION

Complies with SCAQMD Rule 1146.2 and other Air Quality Management Districts with similar requirements for low NOx emissions

ADVANCED MODULATING CONTROL

Includes remote tank temperature control to adjust tank temperature at the boiler - Modulates the boiler to maintain tank set point temperature within +/-1 degree

Infinite boiler output control between 25% and 100% fire

LED read out - Provides current boiler status in plain English with help screens to assist should a fault occur

Controls every electrical boiler function and provides on board diagnostics

iCOMM™ Compatible and can be monitored from remote locations. Call 1.888.WATER02 for more information.

ALL BRONZE FACTORY MOUNTED PUMP

Integrally mounted, wired, and controlled by the boiler control

Factory-sized for proper flow between boiler and storage tank

Allows 50 equivalent feet of piping between boiler and tank

HIGH EFFICIENCY COPPER FIN TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

Vertical straight tube 2 or 4 pass heat exchanger design encircles the burner with a combustion chamber that is a 360° wall of copper fin tubes

Rust-resistant operation - All internal heat exchanger non-copper surfaces are

glasslined with A. O. Smith’s proprietary porcelain glass coating, which far exceeds competitive coatings

Impervious to thermal shock

COMPACT, LOW-PROFILE DESIGN

Zero clearance on sides for 500-1000 models, 4 inches on sides for 1500-2000 models Ideal for multiple boiler installations

STANDARD VENT OR DIRECT VENT FLEXIBILITY

Standard vent configuration, vertical or horizontal sidewall

Two-pipe direct venting vertical and/or horizontal sidewall, with all combustion makeup air drawn from outside the building

FACTORY START-UP INCLUDED

Required for activating warranty and assuring

maximum operating performance. Contact your local sales representative or Authorized Start-Up Agent to arrange a FREE Certified Start-Up.
