HW 900-2X PRO
Features
The 1.8 million Btu HW 900-2X combines the heating power of the efficient water heater system and two fluid to fluid plate heat exchangers into one ready-to-move trailer package. The system uses three pumps, one for the water heater’s heating fluid circuit (food grade glycol) and one for each of the two plate heat exchanger output loops.
The water heater is Tri-fuel capable (NG, LP or diesel fuel sources). Tri-fuel ready units require only a burner change-out to switch from one fuel source to another as all other Tri-fuel plumbing and componentry are permanently in place. Also, the fuel specific burners have designated storage locations within the HW 900-2X cabinets to ensure convenient hassle-free burner swaps.
As a precautionary measure, an in-line pre-screen acts as a serviceable trap to catch large unforeseen contaminants prior to the plate heat exchangers. The process water plate exchanger can also be taken apart for removal of scale build-up and cleaning. Considerable time and effort in the HW 900-2X component layout and trailer access design ensure that general maintenance, burner change-outs and plate heat exchanger services are convenient and practical.
Each plate heat exchanger has a 2 million Btu/h capacity, with a 20% fouling factor to effectively manage the output from the hot water heater. Therefore, 100% of the heating fluid flow can be directed to one plate heat exchanger. If your next job requires a different fluid to be heated, the valving can direct the heating fluid to the other plate heat exchanger. This increases flexibility, reduces cleaning and the risk of contamination.
With two plate heat exchangers, two different fluids can also be heated simultaneously. Since the two plate heat exchangers are plumbed in parallel, they both will receive heat transfer fluid from the water heater at approx. 180°F.
Specific applications for the HW 900-2X:
- Acting as a boiler tie-in, heating and circulating a building’s heating fluid for potable hot water and building heat.
- Heating and circulating potable hot water in a building complex, bypassing the building’s boiler/water heating system.
- Heating and circulating water for washing facilities at large multiple day events and gatherings.
- The heating and circulating of water for processing plants, mining and oil field projects.
- For larger jobs, where one heating unit is not adequate, the HW 900-2X’s plate heat exchanger can be connected in series to boost output.
