Using copper as the heart of a water heater or boiler is an idea that has been put into practice for well over a century. Every one of Hamilton's copper-finned heat exchangers is constructed of seven fin per inch extruded fin copper tubing providing 9 times as much heat transfer as the bare copper tubing used a century ago. Hamilton takes this highly efficient, long-lasting heat exchanger and makes it into one of three families of water heaters and boilers. All of our families include the following design characteristics: (photo at right is the Hamilton V-Tube)
Compact Design - Utilizing many of the latest manufacturing techniques available, all products are designed and produced with a focus on floor space requirements.
Ceramic Fiber Tile Combustion Chamber - This space-age material (yes, it's the same as that used on the space shuttle) replaces the precast concrete combustion chambers of yesteryear (and our competitors). This material reflects the heat, making it usable energy instead of wasted energy. The result is higher operating efficiencies and less stand-by heat loss!
Serviceability - The new Hamilton modular construction allows for removal of all major components including gas train, burner(s) and heat exchanger, without disturbing cabinet or vent integrity. Plug-in electronics complete the latest in modular design. The three current families of copper-finned products are:
Mini-Tube 82.5% efficiency. Atmospheric combustion, available with inputs ranging from 45,000 to 500,000 BTU/hr. Indoor installation only.
