Versa-Hydro™ Combined Hydronic Appliance

The Versa-Hydro Combined Hydronic Appliance from HTP represents the latest innovations in hydronic heating technology. The Versa-Hydro is the first device available in the U.S. to integrate a high-efficiency water heater with a heating element, providing both domestic hot water and space heating with one compact, efficient device. The modulating condensing gas appliance operates at 93% combustion efficiency and 96% thermal efficiency, contributing not only to the environment’s well-being, but to the consumer’s as well. The all-in-one design of the Versa-Hydro results in considerable space and cost savings, setting a new standard for environmental responsibility, energy conservation, and consumer convenience.

Features

• High system efficiency even during low load conditions:
  The modulating burner operates at a 3 to 1 turndown ratio, while the space heating module operates at a 10 to 1 turndown ratio
• Low energy costs:
  Resulting from ultra high 96% Thermal Efficiency and 93% Combustion Efficiency ratings
• Improved component life and reliability:
  Modulation, along with thermal mass, eliminates the short cycling effect, which conserves energy and improves component reliability
• Enhanced comfort and efficiency:
  Weather responsive outdoor reset controls match the supply temperature to the heating need, preventing overheating
• Appropriate for both residential and commercial applications:
  Available in three gallon sizes (ranging from 55-119 gallons) and 2 BTU inputs (ranging from 130 -199 BTU’s)
• Low standby losses:
  The tank loses only ½ degree Fahrenheit per hour when the burner is off
• Virtually maintenance free operation:
  The robust material and sophisticated design of the heat exchanger minimize lime and scale buildup, eliminating the blockage risk that occurs with low-mass boilers
• Incredible system flexibility:
  Built-in auxiliary taps provide connections to air handlers or supplemental storage tanks
• Space savings:
  The Versa-Hydro fits the equivalent of a 135,000 BTU boiler, an indirect water heater, and a buffer tank into one small footprint
• Simpler, less costly installation:
  The unique design eliminates the need for a primary-secondary loop, near boiler piping, boiler/indirect electrical connections, and isolation valves
• Optimum serviceability:
  Removable front covers provide service technicians easy access to components
• Quality construction:
  An extremely durable cupronickel and stainless steel heat exchanger boasts excellent heat transfer properties and resists corrosion
• User friendly control interface:
  A state-of-the-art two-line 20-character LCD control panel displays easy-to-understand English readouts and programmable service reminders
• Eligible for tax credits and utility company rebates:
  Based on high efficiency ratings
