The Phoenix Evolution is…
basically a high efficiency boiler, an indirect fired water heater,
much of the piping and the controls for a system in one compact, high
output appliance. You may know the Evolution as the very popular Phoenix
water heater with a new integrated heat exchange space heating module.
Either way this appliance results in less space requirements, lower parts
and installation costs, improved system efficiency and reliability.
Simple is Good Until now hydronic has been
too complicated resulting in
too many unsatisfactory
installations. The Phoenix Evolution hydronic appliance removes many
arcane technical decisions and fancy piping seen in many boiler hydronic
systems while providing a technically superior
solution for radiant heating.
The Right Sizes Radiant Heating to 135,000BTU and
Plenty of Hot Water
The Phoenix Radiant
module can seamlessly supply 1,000 btu to 135,000 btu for a radiant
heating system serving 1000 to 6,000 square feet.
At the same time the Phoenix Evolution/Phoenix
Evolution Solar can also provide copious amounts of domestic hot water
for the high peak loads experienced in custom homes due the combination
of high recovery rates and hot water storage. No more multiple tankless
water heaters!
Sizing:
A single Phoenix plus heater has three btu capacities (100,130,199) for
space heating for homes up to 5,500 sq ft while the storage tank capacity options (55,80,119)
help meet the peak domestic hot water demands of most custom homes. See Phoenix

Lower
Installed Cost Phoenix Evolution components cost less than
all the components required for a conventional boiler/ indirect
water heater system and it also costs less to install. The installation
labor of the mechanical equipment in a hydronic radiant system
provides the single best opportunity to reduce the installed costs
of a radiant system and increase contractor profits at the same
time by permitting more accurate installation labor cost estimates.
Simple means less expensive.
Proven Technology: Reliability & Durability The Phoenix Evolution has proven to be a highly durable heater
utilizing a stainless tank and cupronickel combustion chamber employed
reliably in over 100,000 jobs and utilizing components used in millions
of condensing boilers worldwide.
Ultimate Gas-Fired Heat Source:
A “Wet Heads Dream,” John
Siegenthaler: July P&M magazine The leading technical engineering writer for the hydronic industry
wrote an article recently speculating on what would be the ideal characteristics
of the ultimate hydronic heat source of the future. The Evolution meets
all his requirements…and he had not seen an Evolution. Dig deeper into
the Evolution and discover that it is not only simple but it solves the
key technical limitations of all the low mass boilers/water heaters on
the market today.
High
combustion efficiency.
Low head loss.
Low standby heat loss.
High thermal mass.
Minimum 20-year design life.
Save Space, Save Money The
Phoenix radiant can slide into a closet with zero clearance to combustibles
and sealed combustion PVC venting. All the piping and components
are installed and serviced from the front, where a door may be located.
Technical Advantages: Smart and Simple A
96% efficient Phoenix Radiant is a modulating, high mass hydronic
system that drastically reduces cycling experienced with low
mass high efficiency boilers and tankless water heaters when applied
to systems with multiple zones. The system is also smart. The Phoenix
Radiant module uses the smarts of the on-board 926 Phoenix control
to vary both the speed of the tank circulator and even vary the tank
temperature to match the heating system load while firing the burner
only when absolutely necessary. Outdoor reset..no problem. Install
an outdoor sensor and the system perfectly matches heating requirements
automatically.
Phoenix Rated #1 by PG&E: Real
Efficiency The Phoenix water
heater was tested by PG&E , side by side
with other water heaters, and proved much more efficient than any condensing
or standard water heater. There is real efficiency and stated
efficiency. Find out the difference. (Hint: modulation matters)

Title24 : A Silver Bullet The
Phoenix Evolution provides tremendous compliance advantage with combined
96% efficient water heating and space heating or you may select a Phoenix
Solar Evolution to receive truly extraordinary credit towards compliance.
The January 1, 2010 Title 24 regulations give extraordinary credit for
solar hot water and combined hydronics while de emphasizing tankless
water heaters.
Phoenix
Solar Appliance The Phoenix Evolution Solar uses the
common Euro single tank bi-valent design
where the entire storage capacity of the tank is available for solar
water storage but only the top 50% of the storage tank is available for
gas fired hot water storage. A higher Btu input model may be selected
to provide more domestic hot water pick up if needed, with no system
efficiency loss.
Changing the game…again. Heat
Transfer Products transformed the hydronic industry with introduction
of the ultra high efficiency, modulating Munchkin boiler in 1999.
Now, the Evolution is the next big leap for the hydronic industry.
Until now hydronic has been 
At the same time the Phoenix Evolution/Phoenix
Evolution Solar can also provide copious amounts of domestic hot water
for the high peak loads experienced in custom homes due the combination
of high recovery rates and hot water storage. No more multiple tankless
water heaters!
