Indirect-fired Steam & Boiler Water Heaters High Recovery ASME Constructed & Stamped Factory Packaged
Applications Thermomaster water heating systems provide high recovery, tight temperature control and dependability. Forced circulation provides controlled, accurate hot water for high peak loads. By combining high recovery capacities with storage, the system makes effective use of the available energy source. The design also minimizes spatial requirements normally needed by conventional storage type heaters. Units are engineered for long dependable service and use steam, boiler water or HTHW as the heating medium. The Thermomaster is a complete packaged system with components engineered to specific application requirements.the user simply needs to hook up water and utility connections in the field. RECO USA selects the correctly sized and matched components for optimal performance. By combining exact storage requirements for peak load demands with a forced circulation recovery section, the Thermomaster is excellent for commercial, industrial and institutional service. Integral recirculation assures a full supply of hot water on demand. Commercial Thermomaster is capable of meeting all the demands of facilities with large hot water needs, including hotels, apartment buildings, military buildings, and hospitals. Thermomasters are typically found in facilities with a central energy source. This energy source is typically piped directly to the unit in the mechanical room or is transported to various sub mechanical rooms furnishing hot water to a specific building or application. Units may be piped in parallel to provide additional capacity or emergency back up. Institutional Thermomaster is excellent for facilities that tend to exhibit high demand periods at intervals throughout the day, including dormitories, schools and correctional complexes. High recovery capacities with storage handle the short cycle, high demand needs of these facilities. Energy requirements are maximized so excess capacity to meet critical periods is minimized. Industrial Thermomaster is widely used for shower and cafeteria needs, providing controlled hot water for manufacturing processes, and for equipment washdown in all industries. Capacity The heat exchanger section consists of a sheathed tube in shell configuration with copper, copper nickel or stainless steel tubes. Thermomasters are available in single and double-wall construction, and can conform to all local code requirements. Each unit is computer selected to match project requirements and provide optimal heat transfer efficiency. To provide and maintain peak delivery through all loads, Thermomaster has a peak demand anticipator. This allows the control valve to respond promptly to load changes and meter the optimal amount of energy flow to the heat exchanger. Construction RECO USA fabricates each Thermomaster to the customer s specific needs. All materials are of the highest quality and must meet the stringent requirements of our Quality Control department. All Thermomasters are constructed and stamped in accordance with the latest edition of the ASME Sect VIIl Division I Code and bear th e U stamp. Working pressures up to 0 psig are available. RECO USA can provide you with the right materials for your specific needs, including carbon steel, copper nickel and stainless steel. Carbon steel vessels feature a selection of linings to provide optimal corrosion resistance and long vessel life. Each lining is approved for potable water use. Horizontal or vertical configurations allow flexibility for installation in any equipment room.
Sizing Methods Consult the latest ASHRAE or equivalent sizing methods to determine your actual requirements. This should include specific water usage requirements and intermittent loads. Required water temperatures, type of building and available energy source are important factors. Hot water requirements vary in total flow rate, peak load and temperatures required. These factors must be considered when sizing. Hot water may be used for showers, cafeterias, or wash stations and should be sized according to demand and peak load factors. Hot water that is being used for a process application must be sized to handle a continuous and potential peak load to match production requirements. Many cases warrant the installation of twin systems to provide back up in the event of service or routine maintenance. For instance, hospital installations may require dual systems to provide adequate back up. Lining Options UltraStone /- to 5/8-inch potable water cement, compliant with NSF-6 standards. Pre-Krete Aluminous based cement lining for use of potable water and soft water applications. Heat Transfer Tubes All tubes are seamless U-tube construction, typically used with a wrapped and baffled design. This sheathed design used with an integral pump allows for smaller surface area than immersion heaters. Copper tubes are standard with an option for 90/0 Copper-Nickel construction where high temperature and/or corrosive water conditions exist. Other customs materials are available to meet your unique needs and can be requested through your appointed sales representative. Single Wall Copper or 90/0 Copper-Nickel. Double Wall with Leak Detection Port Copper or 90/0 Copper-Nickel. Custom Materials Just ask a Sales Representative. Control Valve Options All RECO USA supplied control valves are full modulating type and designed with fail safe shutdown. Modulating type valves (such as solenoid valves) not only control temperature better than full open/close type valves, but they also use less energy. Pneumatic Use with steam or boiler water, available in both -way or 3-way design. Electric Use with steam or boiler water, available in both -way or 3-way. It can be supplied with a RS-5 communication port or analog outputs for communication with building automation systems. Self-Contained -way steam service only. No external source of air or electricity required to operate valve.

Please review Example D along with Tables 3-. Then use the worksheet on page 6 to customize a Thermomaster water heater to meet your exact needs. For ideal Thermomaster model number, cross reference your storage demand with Tables 3 and 4 and choose the closest tank size to match your needs. In our unit apartment, we chose Model TMV50-540 to accommodate a storage demand of 075 gallons (Example C). Please note if you have an unconventional vertical or horizontal space, we can custom manufacturer a tank to exactly match your tolerances. To determine the proper heating coil model, use the data from your total recovery needs (Example B) and cross reference Tables 5-. In our example, the customer specified 40 F water, 0/5 psig steam pressure, single wall, and a recovery of 634 ; therefore, we chose heating coil model 04.
