Pensotti Quality Heating
Boilers and Panel Radiators
PNA, Inc. is proud to supply
you and our network of dealers with the high quality PENSOTTI Model ‘S’ Cast
Iron Boiler throughout the North American marketplace. We are confident that
your purchase of the PENSOTTI home
comfort package will provide years of efficient, economical, trouble-free
operation.
"Quality remains long after the price is forgotten".
The PENSOTTI ‘S’ boiler is a
high efficiency residential heating appliance that provides maximum energy
utilization and the highest efficiency, without the maintenance and operations
problems and high purchase and installation costs of condensing boilers.
Fuel cost savings can only be
achieved by matching the PENSOTTI ‘S’ boiler to the true heat loss of your
residence. During the past couple of decades, the trend towards improving wall
and ceiling insulation levels and eliminating air infiltration by caulking and
weather-stripping, has made most existing heating appliances oversized.
When you purchase a PENSOTTI
home comfort system your new appliance will be sized on the basis of the new
heat loss calculation. This will ensure that your new PENSOTTI home comfort
system will deliver only the amount of heat required to match your actual
home’s heating demand. We want to provide you with the maximum comfort level
achievable combined with the highest fuel cost savings.
The following are useful bits
of information presented under a series of sub-headings.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (A.F.U.E.)
The A.F.U.E. is a measure of
the estimated ability of a heating appliance to extract heat from the fuel,
based on a full heating season. The A.F.U.E. increases as the burner on time
increases until it reaches ‘steady-state efficiency’. Steady state is the
efficiency of the appliance measured when the burner is running. Any time the
burner cycles on and off, the A.F.U.E. drops because of "off-cycle"
losses. The A.F.U.E. drops most sharply when the heating plant operates between
10 and 30% burner on time. An increase in the percentage of burner on time
improves the A.F.U.E.
A General Comment
The PENSOTTI Model ‘S’ boiler is a high
quality, efficient oilfired heating appliance, which must be installed and
serviced by a trained and if required licensed service technician. Oilfired
installations should be installed in accordance with NFPA31 and NFPA211 when no
local code is in effect. Be sure that the installation is according to all
National, State and local codes and authorities having jurisdiction over
heating, electrical, plumbing and oil burner systems. Read
