• Launches Astute® range of intelligent commercial gas water heaters developed exclusively for the UK market
• Features multiple connection points and flueing options for easy replacement of ageing and inefficient water heaters
• Exceptional durability and built-in smart monitoring
Astute is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of commercial properties. Astute launches with 14 variants offering heating output capacities from 22 to 111 kW and storage volumes ranging from 190 to 380 litres. All provide up to 98% thermal efficiency. Patented triple pass heat exchanger design constructed of high-quality steel and advanced power anodes minimises wear to extend the unit’s life, even in aggressive soft water areas where more expensive stainless steel appliances would traditionally be required.
Developed with smaller organisations’ buildings in mind, the 190 and 284-litre, 22 to 28 kW models provide a smart, robust water heater for sites such as cafés, retailers and primary schools. The 300 and 380-litre variants, available from 37 up to 111kW, provide additional capacity for businesses with greater hot water demands, including restaurants, schools and colleges, hotels and residential care homes.
Greg Brushett, Sales Director, Adveco, said: “The highly efficient Astute water heater range with built-in intelligence, easy installation, durability and a wide range of size and connection options provides a comprehensive choice for retrofit in the UK commercial marketplace. Especially properties in soft water areas, which have until now had to make do with limited, costly choices and those seeking an optimal response for retrofitting a wide variety of ageing hot water systems. Building owners and operators now also gain the ability to better manage energy demands as well as detect and deal with problems before they become critical, ensuring their business is not penalised with any downtime.”
Astute also features the industry’s most advanced and accurate leak detection system. LeakSense®, which is factory-installed to ensure proper alignment and accuracy, can, in the long term, identify and alert users of a leak smaller than a single drop of water as appliances approach the end of life. This helps to plan for replacement, ensuring little to no downtime for continuity of service for business-critical hot water demands.
