KC-1000 Gas Fired Heater
OVERVIEW

KC-1000 Gas Fired Heater

The first high-efficiency, commercial, gas-fired water heater introduced in the US, AERCO's KC1000 propane-fired water heaters have been performance proven for more than 20+ years -- longer than any other product in the market. Quiet and cost effective to operate in commercial and industrial environments, it can be equipped, or retrofit.  

The KC1000 has been replaced by the AERCO Innovation for all Natural Gas applications. It is still avaiable for propane and dual fuel (natural gas/ propane) applications. 
 

GreenSpec Listed
The condensing heat exchanger design is built to withstand thermal shock. The forced draft, modulating burner operates with 20:1 turndown to achieve 93%-99% thermal efficiency under variable flow conditions yet maintains precise +/-4°F temperature control. Overshooting is virtually eliminated along with storage tanks and mixing valves.

Each 1 million BTU/hr. unit occupies a 78"H x 22"W x 57"D footprint and maximizes venting flexibility. Easy-to-use, advanced control software integrates with EMS systems and can be accessed remotely.

Standard Controls Package
The AERCO C-More™ Control Package 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.

Low NOx Burner Package - 970,000 BTU/hour natural gas input with 11:1 burner turndown offers less than 30ppm NOx (corrected). SCAQMD and TCEQ certified. This burner package also supports dual fuel (natural gas/propane) applications only. For LowNOx natural pas applications see the new AERCO Innovation. 
ACCESSORIES

Domestic Water Storage Tank - AERCO storage tanks are ASME certified glass-lined pressure vessels designed for use with instantaneous water heaters. When contending with challenging applications they assure consistent hot water service during peak demands. The AERCO storage tanks are available in stratified or accumulator storage configurations.

Gas Supply Regulator
  • Non-lock-up regulators for gas pressure < 14" W.C.
  • Lock-up regulators for gas pressures > 14" W.C.
Secondary Low Water Cut-Off (LWCO) - where required by building code. Secondary LWCO must be installed external to boiler.

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

AERCO Condensate Neutralizer Kit- is ideal for neutralizing condensate from condensing boilers and furnaces operating on natural gas or propane.
