Percomax®

In a PERCOMAX TM combustion occurs in a fully modulating, integrated gas burner. Cold water enters the unit at the top and is then uniformly distributed over the upper surface of a packing of stainless steel nodules which constitutes the heat transfer zone. The water percolates down through the packing where it comes in "direct-contact" with the rising, hot products of combustion. Both the sensible and latent heat contained in the gas are transferred to the water. The products of combustion are generated by a fully modulating, integrated, natural gas burner.

The heated water collecting at the bottom of the unit is then pumped directly to the process, or across a plate and frame heat exchanger to transfer its energy to a building heating loop or process fluid.

All wetted components and materials, including the unit's shell and the packing, are entirely fabricated of stainless steel, and are covered by a 5 year guarantee.

Domestic water heating, hydronic (space) heating, fresh air heating (via glycol loop), boiler make-up water pre-heating, and process water heating.

The PERCOMAX TM is available in capacities varying from 1 to 50 million BTU/hr (300 to 15,000 kW). If you require greater capacity, contact SOFAME.
