Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides an overview of the WaterWizard™ heater by AERCO, emphasizing its innovative design and efficiency in water heating. Key features include precise temperature control, energy efficiency, low maintenance, and durability.

Specifications
The WaterWizard heater maintains precise temperature control at ±4°F even under varying loads. It is energy efficient, maximizing heat from steam input, and has a compact design of less than 4 ft², eliminating the need for additional components like tanks and valves, thus reducing installation costs.

Design and Operation
The heater incorporates a helically-shaped coil heat exchanger for optimal heat transfer and self-descaling. It uses a dual-control strategy with feed-forward and feedback mechanisms for precise temperature regulation. A fully modulating steam-control valve ensures accurate steam input.

Efficiency and Maintenance
The design includes a subcooling coil that enhances energy recovery, reducing energy use by up to 15%. The self-descaling feature minimizes maintenance needs, and robust materials ensure long-term durability.

Advanced Controls
The electronic controls package includes a flow meter, temperature sensors, and a safety system, compatible with BAS or EMS systems via Modbus Open Protocol for remote monitoring and control.

Energy Efficiency
The heater is designed to maximize heat transfer and minimize energy loss, with a subcooling coil reducing flash loss and condensate return piping losses.

Safety and Reliability
An independent safety system ensures fail-safe operation during over-temperature conditions or power loss, with redundant sensors for enhanced safety.

Conclusion
The WaterWizard heater is a reliable and efficient solution for commercial and institutional water heating, offering significant energy savings and reduced maintenance costs.

Compact Design and Features
The heat exchanger system has a compact footprint and does not require additional components like storage tanks or steam traps, reducing the need for ancillary safety mechanisms and mechanical adjustments.

Durability and Construction
The heat exchanger is built for durability with corrosion-resistant materials, copper-lined vessels, and ASME-rated components capable of withstanding high pressure and temperature.

Robust Heat Exchanger Design
The design includes self-descaling, a stacked-coil arrangement to reduce erosion, and a free-floating design to prevent thermal stress, with a warranty against thermal shock.

Product Offerings
AERCO offers a range of heaters and steam generators for various applications, including A-Plus and E-Plus Heaters, Double-Wall Heaters, and Steam Generators.

— Longevity — Low Maintenance — High Tur ndown — Advanced Controls In 1949, AERCO’s founder, Henry Angelery, had an idea for a water heater that offered accurate temperature control without storage tanks. From this idea, he designed and manufactured the world’s first compact, tankless water heater–paving the way for the thousands of semi-instantaneous and instantaneous heating units that are available today. Although a wide variety of various products and technologies have emerged over the ensuing 50+ years, none rival the performance, ease of ownership and durability of the WaterWizard™ heater....

Efficiency — Subcooling — Self-Descaling — Precise Temperature Control — Reliability — Longevity — Low Maintenance Efficiency — Subcooling — Self-Descaling — Precise Temperature Control — Reliability THEORY OF OPERATION The WaterWizard heat exchanger consists of a vertical stack of individual free-floating, helically-shaped coils–each of which is attached to both a steam riser and condensate return. Water flows from the bottom to the top of the unit and is heated as it passes over the coils in a counterflow design. As the steam enters each coil, it circles within three channels to its center...

— Longevity — Low Maintenance — High Tur ndown — Advanced Controls Because accurate temperature control depends upon carefully modulating steam input, even the best control systems will be of little value if coupled with an unresponsive control valve. So rather than rely on an off-the-shelf, generic valve that may fail to close tightly due to premature seat wear, the WaterWizard heater incorporates a proprietary valve designed by AERCO and performance-proven since 1982. A pilot assembly in the valve body ensures that a small inner seat is the only component that must be actuated to regulate the...

ACCURATE TEMPERATURE CONTROL Precise temperature control delivers more than just comfort and peace of mind–it helps reduce operating and maintenance costs across the overall system. By tightly controlling outlet temperature, the set point can be lowered to the absolute acceptable minimum with no extra cushioning to compensate for swings. A lower set point will reduce the amount of steam required as well as reduce piping-system radiation losses that would have had to be removed (at extra cost) by the air conditioning system. • Integrated load-monitoring system and patented steam valve deliver...

— Longevity — Low Maintenance — High Tur ndown — Advanced Controls More than simply an add-on actuator and PID controller, the fully integrated design of the electronic controls package incorporates a combination flow meter/inlet temperature sensor, inlet-steam vacuum/pressure gauge at the heat exchanger, feedback sensor, outlet temperature indicator and safety system. Together, these components work in concert to maximize the superior performance and control of AERCO’s patented valve. • Easy, one-touch start-up–just “set and go” • Dial-in operating set point and digitally tune system parameters...
