Advanced Heating Technology Pays Dividends!
The LAARS Rheos+ fully condensing boiler is a breakthrough in commercial hydronic heating system design. Now, for the first time, engineers and heating contractors can choose a single, reasonably priced, high-efficiency heating appliance for commercial installations requiring up to 2.4 MBH. "Plug and Play" versatility, full modulation, flexible venting and piping options, extensive onboard diagnostics and multiple control configurations make the Rheos+ ideal for many applications.
The Rheos+ saves fuel automatically by adjusting its firing rate from 100% to 25% (a 4-to-1 turndown ratio) in response to the demand for heat. This sophisticated proportional firing control system delivers thermal efficiencies as high as 98% and can save owners from 30% to 50% in fuel costs over conventional, non-modulating systems.LAARS Rheos+ Boiler
 
With combustion efficiencies as high as 87%, the Rheos+'s self-monitoring sealed combustion system further enhances performance. A powerful variable-speed combustion blower brings filtered outside air directly into the unit (no indoor air is necessary) and, at the same time, forces the toxic byproducts of the combustion process outside the building and into the atmosphere. As a further cost advantage, heavy, multi-walled gas venting is not required.
 
The Rheos+ can be staged with up to eight other units with the LAARS MC multiple modulating boiler sequencing control (with outdoor reset and all control algorithms) for a unified ultra-high efficiency heating installation.
 
The Rheos+ automatically optimizes its operation and will run at full efficiency "right out of the box." It is also compatible with most building automation system (BAS) products and interface cards for most popular control systems are available (Metasys, LONWorks, etc.).
 
The Rheos+ also features the highest density and smallest footprint available, so it takes up far less floor space. In fact, it's so compact it can fit through a standard doorway.

Rheos+ Ratings
Performance ratings for low and high fire operation.
Model 1200 1600 2000 2400
High Fire Input MBH 1200 1600 2000 2400
High Fire Output MBH 1080 1440 1800 2160
Low Fire Input MBH 300 400 500 600
Low Fire Output MBH 270 360 450 540
Important Note: Output shown is calculated using a 90% combustion efficiency. The efficiency of this unit will increase with lower return water temperature and/or lower modulation point, which will alter the output of the Rheos+.

Rheos+ Water Flow Data
Minimum water flow required in gallons per minute (GPM) for the indicated water temperature rise (°F) for normal, hard and soft water.


Model
Hard Water Normal Water Soft Water
Flow Temp Rise Flow Temp Rise Flow Temp Rise
1200 86 20 108 25 72 30
1600 115 17 144 21 96 31
2000 144 19 180 23 120 35
2400 173 20 216 25 144 30
Head loss calculations apply only to LAARS OEM heat exchangers and allow for thirty feet of piping (the same size as the heater outlet) and, typically, five to six fittings. Hard water: More than 17 grains per gallon. Normal water: 7.6 to 17 grains per gallon. Soft water: 1 to 7.5 grains per gallon.
