Armstrong Introduces Flo-Direct® – Direct Contact Gas Fired Water Heater
Three Rivers, MI – Armstrong International, Inc. now offers a line of gas fired hot water heaters. The Flo-Direct® utilizes gas as the heating medium. It is designed for applications such as laundries where large amounts of water are used every day.
Flo-Direct has a top mounted gas burner that fires downward through a centrally located flame tube. The resulting heat from the flame heats the falling water, which comes in contact with the bed of packing rings where heat transfer occurs. The hot gases and water are not separated by an exchanger wall so that scale in the unit is minimized. The water heater is made totally of stainless steel to work on all types of water quality. Water temperatures from 130˚F - 185˚F (54˚C - 85˚C) are available within 15-20 seconds of demand. A two-pass flow of hot gasses ensures a 99.7% or greater fuel efficiency where virtually all of the fuel energy is transferred to the water. Quick payback of equipment costs can be realized in energy savings as compared to other methods of heating water.
