SOLAR GAS BACKUP

INT EGRATED SOLAR & HIG H EFFICIENCY GAS BACKUP WATER HEATERS

The Solar Gas Backup blends all of the features of the Ultra Force™high efficiency gas water heater with a storage tank optimized for solar thermal applications. The integrated space-saving design provides a single tank solution combining storage for heat captured by solar thermal collectors with 96% thermally efficient gas backup. This innovative hybrid technology takes efficiency and performance to their highest levels.

SSF100 120NE and SSX100 120NE

These models are eligible for a 30%

federal tax credit for the total installed costs (no cap) when installed as part of a complete commercial or residential solar

thermal hot water system. State and local

incentives may also apply.

SOLAR FEATURES

• Designed for commercial or large residential with 200-500 gallons daily hot water usage

• Solar loop side connections - supply and return from collectors

• Direct and Indirect models

• SSF direct models have open tank solar loop connections and are suitable for open loop systems or closed loop systems using an external heat exchanger

• SSX indirect models have an integrated single wall heat exchanger coil and are suitable for closed loop systems using Propylene Glycol and distilled water mixture as the heat transfer fluid

• Combine with our new two, three and four collector solar package systems that are SRCC certified OG-300 for a complete solar hot water system (package systems available October 2012)

• Compatible with our integrated standard and double wall solar pump stations

• Recirculation loop side connection

• Factory-installed lower tank temperature sensor for field supplied solar controls

TANK FEATURES

• 100-gallon storage

• Powered anode rod - maintenance free protection against corrosion permanent design that does not require replacement unless damaged

• Commercial grade glasslined tank provides superior protection against corrosion.

GAS BACKUP FEATURES

• Maximum operating set point for the gas backup burner is 140°F – allows for optimum solar contribution

• Exclusive State designed control system provides detailed operational information, precise temperature control and built-in diagnostics.

• 96% thermally efficient 120,000 Btu/hr gas backup burner - available in natural gas and propane

• Top mounted, down-fired pre-mix burner provides optimum efficiency and quiet operation

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

• Meets the thermal efficiency and standby loss requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy and current edition of ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1

• Design-certified by CSA International

Change "N" to "P" in model number for propane. SSF models have open tank solar loop connections and are suitable for use in open systems or closed systems using an external heat exchanger. SSX models have an integrated single wall heat exchanger coil in the bottom of the tank and are suitable for closed loop active systems using non-toxic Propylene Glycol and distilled water mixture as the heat transfer fluid. Glycol used must contain corrosion inhibitors.
