Lochinvar has announced the next generation of the KNIGHT XL commercial boiler product family. Available in five models, ranging from 399,000 to 1 million BTU/hour, the advanced units feature a 97 percent thermal efficiency, a 10:1 turndown ratio and an updated heat exchanger.
The new KNIGHT XL models offer extended venting (up to 150 feet), backside connections and the ability to cascade multiple units for increased output, making it suitable for retrofit and new construction applications. It also comes standard with CON·X·US Remote Connectivity and SMART TOUCH operating control technology, providing contractors and facility managers with connectivity and system control for easy monitoring and adjustments.
The next generation of KNIGHT XL also features an advanced heat exchanger with larger tubing that requires less pump energy for higher system efficiency. Additionally, the new units will come with an upgraded air filtration system, borrowed from the Lochinvar CREST condensing boiler line, to protect the burner by trapping particles in the filter.
Designed with a sleek, industrial design and sophisticated badging, the updated KNIGHT XL comes in five sizes—with a new 1 million BTU/hr unit—making it suitable for schools, commercial buildings, hotels and health-care facilities. KNIGHT XL is also available in outdoor models.
