Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series
A COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
PNA, Inc. is proud to supply you and our network of dealers with the high quality Pensotti
Heatline Quatech Series Cast Iron Boiler throughout the North American marketplace. We are
confident that your purchase of the Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series home comfort package will
provide years of efficient, economical, trouble-free operation.
"Quality remains long after the price is forgotten".
The Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boiler is a high efficiency residential heating appliance that
provides maximum energy utilization and the highest efficiency.
Fuel cost savings can only be achieved by matching the Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series boiler to
the true heat loss of your residence. During the past couple of decades, the trend towards
improving wall and ceiling insulation levels and eliminating air infiltration by caulking and
weather-stripping, has made most existing heating appliances oversized.
When you purchase a Pensotti Heatline Quatech Series home comfort system your new appliance
will be sized on the basis of the new heat loss calculation. This will ensure that your new Pensotti
Heatline Quatech Series home comfort system will deliver only the amount of heat required to
match your actual home's heating demand.
We want to provide you with the maximum comfort level achievable combined with the highest
fuel cost savings.
The following are useful bits of information presented under a series of sub-headings.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE)
The A.F.U.E. is a measure of the estimated ability of a heating appliance to extract heat from the
fuel, based on a full heating season.
The A.F.U.E. increases as the burner on time increases until it reaches 'steady-state efficiency'.
Steady state is the efficiency of the appliance measured when the burner is running.
Any time the burner cycles on and off, the A.F.U.E. drops because of "off-cycle" losses. The
A.F.U.E. drops most sharply when the heating plant operates between 10 and 30% burner on time.
An increase in the percentage of burner on time improves the A.F.U.E.
