Cemline Corporation Introduces Packaged Plate Water Heaters (BPH / PFH Series)
Cheswick, PA - The BPH / PFH are a perfect solution for producing domestic hot water being heated by hydronic boilers including cast iron, copper tube, water tube, or specialty high efficiency condensing boilers.
The BPH / PFH Packaged Water Heater uses a Plate Type Heat Exchanger allowing for maximum heat transfer between the boiler water and the domestic water. The BPH heater uses a brazed plate heat exchanger, while the PFH uses a plate and frame style heat exchanger. This style of water heater when used with a high efficiency condensing boiler allows for more efficient operation of the boiler as the heat exchanger returns the boiler water to the hydronic boiler at lower temperatures than a traditional u-bend heat exchanger. The heat exchanger can even allow for temperature crosses between the boiler water outlet and domestic water outlet temperatures. This heater can be used in many hydronic heating style applications including those systems using low temperature boiler water. Cemline Storage Plate Heaters are completely packaged, ready for use and require only connection to services. The Cemline BPH / PFH are with the ability to heat up to 5,000,000 BTU/hr of hot water.
