    INTRODUCTION The Lochinvar LOKE Instantaneous packaged plate heat exchanger is designed to heat domestic hot water (DHW) using low temperature hot water (LTHW) from a boiler or similar. The unit is designed with a low return temperature during demand to ensure boilers are in continuous condensing mode.

    If there is a chance the peak demand could temporarily exceed the maximum flow rate of the unit chosen, then consideration should be given to using a small buffer vessel to cope with this peak flow. For help with sizing and selection please contact your local Area Sales Manager or Lochinvar Internal Sales.
