    • The Cyclone® LV (Large Volume) provides a significant amount storage which can eliminate the need for multiple tanks, saving space. It integrates the Cyclone helical coil heat exchanger into a large ASME-certified storage tank with capacity to 250-gallons. Models are available from 150,000 to 500,000 Btu/h and deliver thermal efficiencies to 96%. The modulating burner adjusts the firing rate to the specific demand,further increasing efficiency and energy cost savings. Cyclone LV is ideal for any commercial application with short period peak demand such as hotels, arenas, convention centers and schools. Cyclone is the industry leader in high efficiency commercial water heating. Cyclone LV modulating models adjust firing rate to the specific demand further increasing efficiency and money savings. BTHL-500A uses up to 499,900 BTU/h of gas to deliver 557 GPH at 100°F rise. A. O. Smith offers the largest commercial product selection available, including the most specified commercial unit in the U.S. We offer more than 500 different commercial models, including gas fired, oil-fired and electric configurations, ranging in capacities from 5 to 10,000 gallons, with input range from 50,000 BTU to the equivalent of 4,000,000 BTU. Our comprehensive line is the natural fit for spec jobs requiring everything from the smallest commercial installation up to the largest multi-structure complex.
