PVI Expands Conquest Water Heater Family

PVI, a Watts brand, expands its Conquest family of compact, condensing, semi-instantaneous, firetube water heaters with 1100 MBH and 1200 MBH units rated for indoor or outdoor applications. With the new, larger-capacity water heaters, the Conquest family supports direct hot water demands from 199 MBH to 1200 MBH, for optimal sizing and higher operating efficiency and return on investment in new and retrofit commercial applications.

Conquest 1100 and Conquest 1200 water heaters deliver high efficiency through a completely submerged, single-pass, down-fired design, which includes an array of helical fire tubes. Combustion gases are counter-flow to the direction of the potable water, enabling the coolest flue gases to contact the coldest water and raise low-fire efficiency to 99%.

To reduce burner cycling during periods of low hot water demand, the water heaters employ burner modulation with a variable speed blower. This allows low-flow conditions to be met with continuous, low BTU input and without short-cycling.
