KN family of boilers: KN-16
The latest addition to the KN-Series of boilers, the KN-16 produces 1,600,000 BTUs, while maintaining the features that have made the KN-Series boiler the most recognized appliance in the commercial boiler industry – long lasting durability and ultra-high condensing efficiencies all in a compact footprint.
The KN-16 is built to meet the most challenging demands of today's condensing commercial boiler market.
The KN-16 joins the proven foundation of KN-Series boilers, combining superior longevity and reliability with maximum efficiencies and serviceability. Hydrotherm's engineers have streamlined the KN's powerful design, producing the most versatile boiler available today.
Built on the rock solid foundation of a high efficiency, fully condensing cast-iron heat exchanger, KN-Series boilers address the wants and needs of today's demanding system applications. Its state-of-the art HeatNet control platform and Tru-Flow "whirlwind" blower and gas valve package replace traditional expensive VFD's while delivering pinpoint modulation insuring maximum performance at all firing rates.
- Factory piped & wired packaged boiler in a compact footprint; capable of being rigged via pallet jack through a standard doorway.
- Single field adjustment required: zero governor gas valve controls CO2 by a simple metric allen key setting.
- Variable water flow heat exchanger accepts up to 10:1 range, minimizing piping costs.
- Venting runs of up to 80 equivalent feet each, exhaust and air intake.
- Unrivaled heat retention: high mass cast iron heat exchanger with 5x the the wall thickness or copper holds heat energy longer.
- State of the art HeatNet integral control provides user-friendly Multi-function monitoring of all boiler operations with intuitive diagnostics and easy to read text displays.
- Down-fire design offers easy accessibility to all components for annual service and maintenance.
- 88% combustion efficiency a full input. 99% combustion efficiency at minimum input (5:1 turndown).
- Optimal fuel utilization and boiler performance thru integral HeatNet control module.
- Low NOx and CO2 emissions - Reduces greenhouse gases.
- Meets South Coast Air Quality Management Division (SCAQMD) Rule 1146.2 standards.
- Made in the USA
- Ultra efficient Tru-Flow symmetric air/fuel coupling design burns clean while insuring proper combustion at all firing rates.
- 5:1 continuous modulation for maximum efficiencies at all levels of heat demand.
- Proven 8,000 btu pilot or "mini burner" with interrupted spark ignition and air-cooled UV sensor for enhanced reliability.
- Low pressure drop thru the boiler does not require high velocities and allows good flow-balancing thru multiple boiler configurations with reverse-return piping.
