High Output Heater
To serve your needs
Operating on steam, boiler water or high-temperature water, the P-K COMPACT® produces up to 250 gpm at 40°F to 140°F. Though the largest unit has a footprint of only 8 sq. ft., the heater can handle any building’s water heating requirements, either singly or via multiple-unit installation.
Prevents Scale
Preventative measure
Constantly pumped circulation prevents scale formation and accumulation of foreign matter on the heating surfaces in most water conditions (water softening may be required with extremely hard water). The constant circulation also continually monitors water temperature, stabilizing temperature control at all draw rates.
Constructed for Long Service Life
Built to last
Potable water in the shell contacts only nonferrous materials, preventing rusty water. The shell is constructed of solid 90-10 copper nickel, the premium corrosion-resistant material for potable water service. Standard heat exchanger construction is copper tubing, which will handle most water conditions. Copper nickel is available for unusual water conditions.
ANTICIPATOR Control System Produces Close Temperature Control
The P-K Compact water heater features the ANTICIPATOR integral control system which meters the heating medium demand to exact proportions of hot water requirements and regulates hot water outlet temperature to a close tolerance of ±4°F from the set point. Steam passes through the tubes of the heat exchanger bundle. The water is rapidly heated as it is directed over the tubes by segmental baffles inside a cylindrical wrapper. Above the wrapped tube bundle, minimum storage volume is provided to give the control sufficient time to produce the close temperature control.
