Thermo 2000’s AltSource 50-15 splits its 15 kW, or 51,180 BTU\/h at 240 V, between four elements: two of 3 kW and two of 4.5 kW, controlled in four stages. The T2 UltraSmart controller can therefore add heat in steps, based on the outdoor temperature measured by the supplied sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the whole series, it is a thermal mass electric boiler, which the manufacturer presents as the only high water volume electric boiler on the market. Its tank holds 48 US gal of water, and its role is to be the backup source of a renewable-energy heating system: air-to-water heat pump, geothermal or solar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicture a large house on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e with radiant floor heating on the ground floor and in the basement, and a geothermal system as the main source. In the fall, geothermal does the job on its own; in deep cold, the AltSource 50-15 adds one, two, three or four stages as needed. In mild weather, the controller shuts heating off, and a Boost mode is also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48 US gal version has the advantage of compactness: 22 in in diameter, 25 1\/2 in deep with the door and 56 7\/16 in high, for 280 lb before filling. It connects in 1 in male NPT and operates at a maximum pressure of 30 psi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElectrical: what Thermo 2000 lists\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer lists an 80 A breaker and Cu 6 \/ Al 4 wire gauge at 240 V single phase. In a building with a 208 V supply, output becomes 11.2 kW at 54.3 A. At this output level, we always check the electrical service’s capacity before confirming the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation, from start to finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a free on-site estimate, you receive a written quote that specifies the boiler, circulator, expansion tank and electrical work. For the tank, Thermo 2000 recommends a #30 with a radiant floor or baseboards, and a #60 with cast-iron radiators. Our technicians then set the unit in place, connect it to the loop and the circuit, mount the supplied outdoor sensor, relief valve and air vent, then fill, purge and set up the system with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermo 2000 covers the tank for 15 years in residential use and the electrical and mechanical components for 2 years.
