Benchmark 2.0 Low NOx Boiler
OVERVIEW

Benchmark 2.0 Low NOx Boiler

Measuring only 79" high x 28" wide x 36" deep, the BMK2.0 LN fits easily through a standard size doorway and occupies a very small footprint. And it fits the most challenging projects as easily as it fits the smallest mechanical rooms.

The BMK2.0LN boiler supports sealed combustion, ceiling/sidewall venting and low gas pressure applications. Ideal in low flow applications, the unit operates with a small water side pressure drop.

We've re-engineered our two-million BTU/hr. condensing boiler! Measuring just 79”H x 28”W x 36”D, the secret behind the unit’s compact size is an enhanced heat exchanger design. In addition, the BMK2.0LN now requires just 120V of electrical power and 4” gas pressure to operate.
20:1 Modulation Delivers Up to 99+% Efficiency
As a condensing boiler, the thermal efficiency of the BMK2.0LN increases when applied in a system that leverages cold return water temperatures. But it's the unit's unmatched 20:1 turndown that really maximizes operating efficiency and seasonal fuel savings. Comprehensive tests are being conducted to confirm the unit's efficiency over its entire 100,000 to 2 million BTU/hr. operating range. The initial boundary tests indicate that efficiency up to 99.3% can be achieved when the unit operates at its lowest firing rate (5% input) with 60°F inlet water temperature. Even at full fire (100% input) the BMK2.0LN delivers 85.3% efficiency.
Compact, Easy-to-Apply Design
Measuring only 79" high x 28" wide x 36" deep, the BMK2.0 LN fits easily through a standard size doorway and occupies a very small footprint. And it fits the most challenging projects as easily as it fits the smallest mechanical rooms. The BMK2.0LN boiler supports sealed combustion, ceiling/sidewall venting and low gas pressure applications. Ideal in low flow applications, the unit operates with a small water side pressure drop. From a controls standpoint, the unit's C-More control system can be integrated directly into a facility-wide Building Automation System via Modbus and is fully compatible with AERCO's Boiler Management System II (BMS II) for multiple unit installations.
<30 ppm NOx Capabilities
Certified by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in its class, BMK2.0LN boiler is equipped with a low NOx burner and fuel delivery system that ensures emissions consistently measure <30 ppm of NOx corrected to 3% excess oxygen at all firing rates.
PRODUCT OPTIONS
IRI Gas Train - Incorporates two safety shut-off valves in a single valve body with normally open vent valve.
ACCESSORIES
Secondary Low Water Cut-Off (LWCO) - where required by building code. Secondary LWCO must be installed external to boiler.
CONTROLS
AERCO C-More™ Control Package - Standard controller supports constant set point, remote set point and/or outdoor reset schedule for individual boiler operation. Offers step-by-step diagnostic menus and status displays to help users set controls and check faults. More than 40 distinct messages, written in easy-to-understand language, convey subsystem status throughout the start-up sequence and during operation. The flash-upgradeable platform can be remotely monitored, controlled and upgraded via Modbus protocol using the RS-232 or RS-485 connection . The system provides failsafe and independent operation in the event of external building control system failures.

Communications Gateway - optional accessory supports boiler or BMS integration with BACnet, LonWorks and N2 systems.

AERCO BMS II - optional multiple unit controller recommended for installations of two or more boilers to maximize operating efficiency.
