utilizing a Polaris water

heater as a single energy

source, will heat homes,

the hot water used in

those homes - and in

any climate.

These reliable and

energy-efficient systems,

designed primarily for use

with forced air heating,

combine the PolariS with

Mor-Plo/American Air

HeatersTM

Compact ceiling, wall

andcloset Air Heaters come

in space heating capacities

of 14.000 Btu/hr, and

higher. In addition, Air

Heaters are supplied with

a DX cooling coil for air

conditioning during

warmer months.

After haVing proven themselves

in extensive laboratory and inthe-field tests. Polaris water

heaters are now providing +94%

thermal efficiency in installations

nationwide.

With its compact size - 22 inches

in diameter, 48 inches tall, 34

gallon capacity - the Polaris is

engineered with inputs of 100.000

Btu/hr* and will provide more

than enough hot water to heat

homes and the water used in

those homes. The Polaris also can

be used in many commercial water

heating applications.

There are a number of reasons

why these reliable, high-efficiency

water heaters provide optimum

energy efficiency.

'Varies with installed vent-pipe length.

The submerged stainless steel

combustion chamberis completely

surrounded by water. This

eliminates bottom heat loss and

reduces energy consumption. The

design provides almost nOiseless

operation.

When the thermostat calls for

heat, the igniter is activated. The

power blower and negative

pressure gas valve force air and

gas into the combustion chamber

and the burner ignites. The

combustion heat is forced into

the flue coil. However. the flue,

rather than exiting at the top of

the tank, coils down and around

the combustion chamber and exits

at the bottom of the tank.

The water in the tank continually

draws heat from the hot gases in

the flue coil. Normal flue losses

are eliminated dUring standby

because the heat cannot descend

without being forced by the power

blower.

Another Significant advantage is

that these condensing. low temperature flue gases can be vented

through an outside wall using

2-inch ABS {or CPVC) pipe. Additionally, outside combustion air

can be prOVided with 2" ABS or

CPVC pipe. In short. the Polaris

can be installed in homes or light

commerdal buildings Without

chimneys.
