General Information

The Lochinvar SIT series indirect water heater (FIG. 1-1) is
designed to generate domestic hot water in conjunction with
a hot water boiler using forced boiler water circulation. This
indirect water heater consists of a 316L Stainless Steel tank in
which a smooth 304L stainless steel coil is located (Table 1A).
Boiler water is pumped through the coil and heats the water in
the tank. This tank is not intended for use in pool heating
applications or for heating any fluid other than water. It is also
not intended for use in gravity hot water heating systems.

Single-Wall Heat Exchanger

National Standard Plumbing Code

Single-wall heat exchangers in water heaters comply with the
National Standard Plumbing Code provided that:

boiler water (including additives) is practically non-toxic,
having a toxicity rating or class of 1, as listed in Clinical
Toxicology of Commercial Products, and

boiler water pressure is limited to a maximum of 30 psig by
approved relief valve.

Uniform Plumbing Code

Single-wall heat exchangers are permitted if they satisfy all of
the following requirements --

1.

The heat transfer medium is potable water or contains only
substances which are recognized as safe by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration.

2.

The pressure of the heat transfer medium is maintained less
than the normal minimum operating pressure of the
potable water system.

3.

The equipment is permanently labeled to indicate that
only additives recognized as safe by the FDA shall be used
in the heat transfer medium.

Other heat exchanger designs may be permitted where
approved by the Administrative Authority.

Operating Restrictions:

Maximum domestic hot water temperature is 194°F.

Maximum boiler water temperature is 210°F.

Maximum working pressure for the vessel tank is
150 psig.
