HTP has introduced a new residential electric water heater, the EVERLAST Elevate Demand Response, that provides the same amount of hot water as a 100-gallon electric water heater from a 55-gallon tank.

The heater is available in 55 gallon capacity, and includes a lifetime tank warranty and six-year part warranty with online registration. The water heater will be on display at the AHR Expo at Ariston’s Booth N1140 beginning Monday, January 22.

The EVERLAST Elevate Demand Response includes integrated scald protection and I-Memory, a self-learning habit algorithm which ensures users will have hot water when they need it and save energy when they don’t.

Other features include daily scheduling to guarantee hot water is available when it’s needed most; electronic temperature control with an energy cut-off to prevent overheating; a user-friendly LCD display to allow easy view of operational status, parameter changing and diagnostics; a factory-installed pressure release valve; a durable brass drain valve; and dryfire protection, which protects the water heater from damaging the elements if the tank is not properly filled.

The unit offers maximum durability and is constructed with 316L stainless steel and low-watt density titanium elements. The EVERLAST Elevate Demand Response is designed to make installation a breeze; its light weight construction makes it easier to handle than traditional glass-lined water heaters and fits seamlessly into the footprint of a traditional 80 gallon electric water heater. Jurisdictions that require installation of a thermostatic mixing valve will have out-of-the-box compliance.

Performance advantages include a 77-gallon first hour rating (FHR), a UEF rating of 0.94 and up to 115 gallons of 105˚F at the fixture when then tank is set to 170˚F. It meets all efficiency requirements of the Department of Energy and is NAECA III compliant.

HTP is a brand of Ariston Group, a global leader in sustainable solutions for hot water and space heating, components and burners.

Genesis Systems WaterCube 100, WaterCube, HVAC, plumbing, Genesis, PHVAC, Renewable Water from Air (RWA), WaterCube 100A new smart home appliance creates water from the moisture in the air at scale. The WaterCube 100 (WC-100) is an IoT-enabled home and office appliance that is the size of an HVAC unit and sustainably generates more than 100 gallons of fresh water daily from the air around it — enough for a household of four. The WaterCube 100 uses Renewable Water from Air (RWA) technology that mimics nature’s process of extracting water from the air.
Designed for ease of maintenance and reliability, the WaterCube 100 represents a technological leap forward and a significant change from conventional water sourcing methods, such as municipal supplies, wells, or drought-prone bodies of water. It supplies homeowners with enough clean, drinkable water to meet their household’s daily water demand, reducing or eliminating dependence on municipal water grids or wells. Created for home or office, WaterCube 100 (WC-100) allows users to produce fresh water quickly. From the moment WaterCube 100 powers on, users gain peace of mind knowing they have clean, affordable water their way.

Bell & Gossett, a Xylem brand, is leading innovation in hydronic system solutions with the debut of its hydrovar X-enabled line of smart, connected products designed to improve the sustainability of commercial buildings and reduce complexity in the design process. The pump plus smart motor combinations are launching with Bell & Gossett’s e-1510 end-suction pump, e-80 vertical in-line pump and TECHNOFORCETM e-HV packaged booster system at AHR Expo 2024, representing another important step forward in Bell & Gossett’s commitment to Building Better Futures.

Bell & Gossett’s e-1510 end-suction pump

“Bell & Gossett recognizes the criticality of reducing the carbon footprint of our built environment and that advancing decarbonization requires designing our new products with sustainability and serviceability in mind,” said Dave Flinton, Xylem vice president of operational excellence. “The new hydrovar X-enabled smart pump solution embodies this commitment to Building Better Futures by combining the inherent efficiency of hydronic systems with industry-leading technologies, all backed by the trusted performance that the Bell & Gossett name is known for.”

As the industry’s first and only system with a modular design that enables independent replacement of motor or drive, the hydrovar X-enabled products all feature a common interface and drive platform for easy commissioning and installation, along with additional features and benefits including:

  • Integrated motor-drive combo featuring quick connect components reduces the complexities, time and resources associated with selecting pumps, motors and drives separately.
  • Built-in application software allows for virtually any configuration of pumps for maximum serviceability and ease of use.
  • The highest efficiency IE5 ultra-premium motors that provide a powerful and compact footprint, saving valuable space within mechanical rooms.
  • Sustainability-forward, market-leading motor technology that doesn’t use rare earth metals.
  • Under typical operating conditions, the e-1510X Smart Pump delivers annual reductions of up to 380 metric tons of CO2 emissions.

The e-1510X and e-80X Smart Pumps, and e-HVX/e-HVXR boosters kick off the new line, with more hydrovar X-enabled products scheduled for future release.

Ambient Hydronic Heat Pump, electrification, decarbonization, plumbing, heating and cooling, HVAC, U.S. Boiler Co.The Ambient Air-to-Water Hydronic Heat Pump is introduced by U.S. Boiler Company for residential customers looking to upgrade their hydronic systems with the most efficient electric option available.

The new heat pump has a 5-ton capacity (rated at 60 MBH) and provides reliable space heating with outdoor temperatures as low as -13°F.  Offering a COP of up to 3.95 (395% efficiency) and delivering supply temperatures of up to 140°F, the Ambient Heat Pump offers significant energy savings over conventional electric heating systems.

Installation is simple, whether the monoblock heat pump is installed in a new residence or is retrofitted into an existing hydronic system.   It’s also easy to install as a stand-alone heat source or in dual-fuel applications.

The heat pump uses environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant for high efficiency and low global warming potential.  Its DC inverter Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) technology is extremely quiet, with operating sound levels as low as 39 decibels at two-foot distance (quieter than most refrigerators).

The Ambient Heat Pump is available with an optional dual-fuel controller for applications in extremely cold climates.  The controller, as part of a kit, allows the installer to seamlessly integrate the heat pump with a new or existing fossil fuel or electric boiler.  No additional venting or re-sizing of existing hydronic piping is necessary.

The new system is available as a stand-alone unit, or as part of two different packages, depending on whether the heat pump will be the only source of hydronic heat in the home or in tandem with a boiler.

Both packages include a 5.7-inch touchscreen controller which is mounted inside the home.  Other packaged accessories include a 40-gallon buffer tank with backup heating elements, a Taco® 0013 circulator, circulator flange kit, flat plate heat exchanger, pressure relief valve, drain valve, and relays.  The dual fuel package also includes the dual fuel controller.

U.S. Boiler Company has launched an Electrification Program to assist homeowners and contractors in adopting air-to-water heat pumps.  Visit www.usboiler.net to learn more about the products and enroll in the program.
