Lochinvar's new ARMOR water heater offers thermal efficiencies up to 98 percent. Unit features inputs up to 500,000 Btu/hr, a stainless-steel heat exchanger, 5:1 modulating turndown and Lochinvar's SMART SYSTEM(tm) operating control. Unique design protects against the harmful effects of lime scale buildup, which can cause a traditional heater to fail in as little as 2 years and substantially increase operating costs. Water heater is equipped with a fully modulating 5:1 turndown burner, which enables it to fire as low as 20% of maximum input and smoothly modulate up to 100% depending on demand. This is a definite advantage over competitive units that are only capable of firing at 100% input.
