- a new Class of Water Heater
Introducing Lochinvar’s newest member of the family, the Squire Stainless
Steel Indirect Water Heater. With 12 models to choose from in capacities from
30-119 gallons, we are sure to have the right size indirect water heater to fit
your application.
Squire now features important enhancements that our customers will recognize
and benefit from such as a welded and passivated stainless steel tank and heat
exchanger, two-inch thick, high-density insulating foam with a tested R Value
of 13.4, and best of all an American made product built in Lebanon, Tennessee.
Stainless Steel Tank Manufacturing
Laser Cut Precision
A CNC laser uses Programmable Logic Controls to precisely cut the Squire Indirect Water
Heater’s tank shell out of 14 gauge 316L stainless steel to a tolerance of .01 inch.
Tank Cylinder Roller
The computer controlled tank cylinder rolling machine ensures that the 316L stainless
steel is transformed into a geometrically perfect cylinder.
Coil Winder
Straight tubes are rolled by a seven axis coil winder and turned into a precise, round
LASER Cut Precision
Robotic Welder
This state of the art six axis programmable robotic welder uses computer guidance to
accurately weld all of the stainless steel fi ttings and coil to the stainless steel tank.
Hydrostatic Leak Test
After it leaves the robotic welder the tank is hydrostatically pressure tested to ensure
quality conformance.
coil used in the indirect water heater to transfer the BTU’s from the heat source to the
potable water stored in the tank.
Passivation Process
Each tank is subjected to a soaking spray of
nitric acid. This treatment washes away any
iron that was left behind during the welding
process and re-establishes the oxide level of the
stainless steel to ensure corrosion resistance.
By removing iron from the welded surfaces, the
Squire is less susceptible to corrosion brought
on by aggressive water.
Robotic Welder
Jacket and Foam
The dent resistant polypropylene jacket and ABS
caps are attached to the tank assembly, and then
high density foam is added using a high pressure
dispensing system to provide insulation that will
keep the heat where it belongs, in the water. The
result is an evenly foam insulated and jacketed
tank with an R-value of 13.4 and stand-by losses
