KN family of boilers: KN-30

Innovation sized to meet the low fuel use, low installed cost, small footprint demands of today's condensing commercial boiler market.

The KN-Series boiler from HydroTherm is the first commercial boiler to realize condensing efficiencies using a cast iron heat exchanger. The result is a boiler family that combines the condition-tolerant and heat-retaining characteristics of cast iron with the fuel savings of full modulation condensing performance.

  1. Low Installation Costs
    • Factory piped & wired packaged boiler in a compact footpring; 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 120 equivalent feet each, exhaust and air intake.
  2. Low Operation Costs
    • Unrivaled heat retention: high mass cast iron heat exchanger with 5x the wall thickness of 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.
  3. Low Fuel Usage/Emissions
    • 92.7% thermal efficiency at full input. 99% combustion efficiency at minimum input (5:1 turndown).
    • Optimal fuel utilization and boiler performance through integral HeatNet control module.
    • Low NOx and CO2 emissions - reduces greenhouse gases - environmentally friendly.
    • Meets South Coast Air Quality Management Division (SCAQMD) rule 1146.2 standards.
  4. High Performance Engineering
    • 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 through the boiler does not require high velocities and allows good flow-balancing through multiple boiler configurations with reverse-return piping.
