LAARS OIL-POWERED RESIDENTIAL WATER HEATERS ® The Laars Heating Systems line of oil-powered water heaters provides all the comforts of hot water with energy saving, clean and reliable performance. There are five residential models available in either center flue or rear flue configurations. Each and every one is ruggedly built to meet the highest standards in quality and dependability. These oil-powered water heaters include exceptional features that are important to both you and your customers. ® • Factory Installed Sediment Reduction System—Cold water inlet sediment reducing device. Helps prevent sediment build-up in tank. Increases first hour delivery of hot water while minimizing temperature build-up at top of tank. • Glass Lined Tank—Laars® Heating Systems water heater tanks are protected from the corrosive effects of hot water by an exclusive ceramic porcelain-like coating. • Flexible Stainless Steel Baffle—(Center flue models only) hinged for low ceiling removal and cleaning. Designed for optimal heat transfer. • Controls—Dual immersion aquastat (supplied with burner) for precise, easy water temperature regulation and safety. • Fiberglass Insulation—High density fiberglass insulation provides a thick blanket around tank and combustion chamber for more heat retention and maximum fuel efficiency. (Non-CFC insulation for center flue models). • Ceramic Fiber Combustion Chamber—Concentrates the flame for a smaller, hotter fire and faster transfer of maximum heat. • Two Protective Magnesium Anode Rods—(Rear flue models have one anode rod) provides added protection against corrosion for long trouble-free service. • Brass Drain Valve. • Lowest Operating Cost—Laars® Heating Systems oil-powered water heaters provide hot water more economically than heaters powered with other fuels. Costs can be cut as much as 60 percent with these new units. Water Heaters • High Recovery Rates—Oil heats water 3 to 4 times faster than other methods. These models are designed to assure a constant supply of hot water provided the draw-off rate is within the recovery capacity of the unit. Center flue models from 32 to 50 gallons capacity delivery recovery rates as high as 114 gallons per hour. Rear flue models are designed for heavier demand with recovery rates as high as 184 gallons per hour. • Included T&P Relief Valve. • Installation—Occupies relatively little floor space and does not require a separate fuel oil storage tank when used in an oil-heated residence. • Oil Burners—Beckett burners are available. Carlin and Riello are optional (if purchased separately). • Steel Tank—Heavy guage steel automatically formed, rolled and welded to assure a continuous seam for glass lining. 20 Industrial Way, Rochester, NH 03867 • 603.335.6300 • FAX 603.335.3355 (Headquarters) 1355 Kuehner Drive, Simi Valley, CA 93063 • 800.900.9276 • FAX 800.559.1583 (Sales, Service) 1869 Sismet Road, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 1W8 • 905.238.0100 • FAX 905.366.0130 © Laars® Heating Systems Co. 0704 Document 11024
