HydroTherm announces the KN-10, a commercial gas-fired boiler featuring Tru-Flow™ technology. Tru-flow is a trade name for a self-adaptive design that adjusts air and fuel under many conditions and “thinks for itself” to maximize performance and boiler safety. The new KN-10 boiler operates without producing emissions even with the flue or air-inlet significantly blocked. Through Tru-Flow technology, the KN-10 boiler is designed to react to changes in air or flue flow—from any cause—by reducing the input while maintaining high combustion quality and constant CO2 with reduced CO.
