HXO

Indirect Water Heater

up to 10,000 MBH
Innovative Design
Maximizes Efficiency
Simplified Design
The HXO is designed to provide instantaneous domestic hot water supply
to your building without the need for additional fuel fired or electric heating
equipment. By utilizing your new or existing hotwater heating loop, the HXO
will provide on-demand water for your system.

All of the heat exchangers used in HXO models are:

» ASME certified
» CRN approved
» NSF 372 certified
» Stainless Steel Brazed plate design

Easy to Install
» Intelligent, integrated controls that are simple to operate
» Compact footprint
» Eliminates requirement for hot-water storage tanks
Ease of Maintenance
» Brazed-plate design eliminates gaskets and other spare parts
» Groove lock connections standard for easy installation and removal of
heat exchanger

Efficient Operation
» Combine with high efficiency condensing heating boilers
» Ideal to utilize with ClearFire-CE boilers with dual returns
» Instantaneous response to process or DHW demands
Standard Features
» Anti-scaling circulator
» Pressure relief valve
» T & P valve
» 3-way modulating valve
» Manual isolation valves
» Full color touchscreen controller
with PID set point control

Heating Support for
Hot Water Heating Loads
The HXO is a packaged water heater solution
that provides optimal energy control between a
hydronic boiler loop and a (domestic hot water)
DHW or process water. Heat is extracted from
the boiler loop through a very compact and
efficient heat exchanger and is transferred to the
cold domestic water supply. Each HXO model
has been designed for an application with
specific flow and temperature ranges on the
process and boiler side.

Industry-Leading Control
Solutions
Effective, Intelligent Control Strategy
The HXO controller is equipped with a 4.3” color touch-
screen display with built-in I/O, networking and data-
logging capability. The controller continually monitors the
outlet temperature of the process water or DHW side while
sensing a signal to the modulating valve-actuator on the
boiler side to regulate the amount of heat transfer through
the heat exchanger. IntelliFLO enabled control maintains
DHW water outlet temperature within +/- 2° F of set point
during abrupt load changes.
