MagnaTherm

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical specifications and features of the MagnaTherm boiler and water heater series, emphasizing its compact design, high efficiency, and American manufacturing.
Specifications: The MagnaTherm series includes models ranging from 1600 to 4000, with dimensions that fit through standard doorways. Each model boasts a thermal efficiency of approximately 95-96%. Detailed dimensions and connection sizes for water, gas, and condensate trap connections are provided.
Performance Data: Detailed tables outline thermal efficiency, venting requirements, and flow rates. For example, the 1600 model has a thermal efficiency of 95% and requires a 3-inch vent diameter. Flow rates and head loss data are specified for both boilers and water heaters, with GPM and LPM values for each model.
Electrical Options: Various electrical configurations are available, including 600V three-phase and 120V single-phase options, with full load amperage (FLA) details for each model.
Design and Manufacturing: The MagnaTherm's design focuses on optimized heat transfer through micro-finned heating tubes and engineered flue gas channels, enhancing efficiency and extending the heat exchanger's life. The product is designed and manufactured in Rochester, NH, USA.
Key Features: The MagnaTherm's slim design, small footprint, and advanced heat transfer technology ensure high efficiency and reliability.
VARI-PRIMETM Control Technology: This technology allows the boiler's combustion system to match the modulation rate of a variable speed boiler pump, optimizing efficiency during varying load conditions and significantly reducing power consumption.
Energy Savings: An example is provided showing a 70% reduction in pump electrical usage and annual savings of $1,417 using a 3 million BTU/hr MagnaTherm with VARI-PRIMETM control.
Advanced Control Features: The system supports cascading of up to eight units, creating a modulating heating cell with a 40:1 turndown ratio. It includes an auto-rotation function for even service distribution and seamless communication with building automation systems via Modbus protocol.
Contact Information: Contact details for customer service and product support in the U.S. and Canada are provided.

MagnaTherm-1

VARI-PRIME TM Control Technology Laars VARI-PRIMETM flow control matches the modulation rate of a MagnaTherm’s combustion system to the rate of a variable speed boiler pump. This unique on board control allows the MagnaTherm boiler to mirror the heating system’s profile during varying load conditions and optimize overall efficiency. COMMERCIAL HIGH EFFICIENCY Boiler pumps are typically sized for the maximum flow that a boiler needs, but boilers rarely operate at maximum capacity. A pump’s power consumption can drop by as much as 50% with only a 20% reduction in speed. By replacing a boiler’s typical on/off pump with a VARI-PRIMETM equipped MagnaTherm control and variable speed pump, over a thousand dollars in boiler pump watt usage can be saved per year. The payback for the variable speed pump setup can be realized in as little as one year! Condensing Boiler and Volume Water Heater The combined potential energy savings of the MagnaTherm’s high efficiency combustion coupled with the VARI-PRIMETM control system is huge. Only the Laars MagnaTherm with built in VARI-PRIMETM controls can offer such savings in one package! Pump Control On-Board VARI-PRIMETM Pump Control Energy Savings Example Typical boiler pump energy use seen over a full heating season located in upstate New York (September through April). When an On/Off Boiler Pump is used - kWH consumed When the Laars VARI-PRIME is used - kWH consumed Annual VARI-PRIMETM kWH savings Annual Percent Pump Electrical Savings Annual Dollar Savings* View our entire product line at www.Laars.com A Three Million BTU/hr MagnaTherm using VARI-PRIMETM pump control and a Goulds 22SH variable speed boiler pump were used in this example. *2013 US Average of 11 cents per kWH used, source US Energy Information Administration. See Laars VARI-PRIMETM white paper 9185 for complete details. Lead Lag Cascading of up to 8 MagnaTherms The advanced MagnaTherm control system also includes a cascading feature that allows for up to eight units to be lead lagged together. This results in a modulating heating cell of up to 32 million BTU/hr with a combined 40:1 turndown. Also included is an auto rotation function that periodically changes lead boiler to evenly spread service between all boilers. Communication with Building Automation Systems happens seamlessly via a built-in Modbus protocol included with all MagnaTherm boilers.
