Dorchester - Model DR-LA -Fully Automatic Multi Tube Gas Fired Water Heaters
There are 7 models in the Dorchester DR-LA range with continuous outputs from 621 to 2105 litres/hour, based on a 44c temperature rise. Storage capacities range from 264 to 374 litres. Two or more water heaters can be installed in a modular configuration where there is demand for larger loads. The DR-LA is fitted with an atmospheric burner with fully automatic controls utilising hot surface ignition. The water heaters are suitable for firing natural gas or LPG, and have volt free contacts fitted as standard. The pre-wired control panel includes on/off switch, control thermostat, power indicator, lockout indicator and reset button.
Two large inspection doors provide access for servicing and maintenance, and the DR-LA range is designed to meet the latest HSC requirements for the control of Legionellosis. Connections are provided to facilitate top to bottom recirculation which ensures an even temperature is maintained throughout the vessel, preventing stratification.
A fully electronic soft start gas valve and hot surface ignition ensures reliable burner operation and minimal electro magnetic interference. The water heaters are suitable for open vented or unvented systems using an optional unvented supply kit, and are complete with a frost protection thermostat supplied as standard.
In plant rooms with insufficient headroom clearance for fixed anodes, flexible magnesium sacrificial anodes may be specified as an option.
Other Dorchester models available include the Dorchester DR-FC Evo cpndensing model, Dorchester DR-RS room sealed range, the Dorchester DR-LP multi tube range, the Dorchester DR-SA / DR-SE single tube range, and the Dorchester DR-PF power flame range.
Additionally, Hamworthy have introduced a direct fired condensing water heater with a solar coil, the Dorchester DR-TC which can be used as a package to achieve a fully integrated solar solution.
