ABH Hot Water Generation & Control Solutions
The Brain® Digital Recirculation Valve (DRV), which regulates the temperature of the hot water system, is included with ABH Gas Fired Water Heaters as part of comprehensive packaged water heating systems. All systems are sent ready to set in place with little to no assembly since ABH assemblies are designed and built to precisely suit the criteria of the installation location.
ABH uses a multiple pass condensing method to ensure that the heat exchanger in the unit receives the maximum amount of heat and energy from the combustion process. With operating efficiency as high as 99.8%, its cutting-edge design maximizes the condensing condition over a wider operational range than conventional water heating methods.
