EAGLE SUN™CLOSED (INDIRECT) STORAGE TANK - PART # CST

Model – 80 gallon capacity

1 – R-Foam Insulation (R-17.30) – Rigid Polyurethane foam insulation for optimized operation. Electric control is covered by fiberglass insulation for easy accessibility.

2 – Tank – EAGLE SUNTM water heater tanks are made with exacting care. The tank surface is coated with an exclusive porcelain formula and fused to the solid steel shell at 1600O. The result is a smooth, tough, glass like lining. Tank is designed and tested to withstand 300 PSI hydrostatic test pressure of 150 PSI U.L. Standard.

3 – Collector Feed and Return are located for easy access and simple connections. ¾” NPT female connections at inlet and outlet.

8 – Heat Exchanger – Copper tubing wrapped around and secured to the tank. Double-wall, vented design for positive leak detection and foamed in place with R-Foam for efficiency.

NOTE: To prevent corrosion, proper pH levels in transfer fluid must be maintained. Refer to operation and maintenance manual.

9 – Improved Electrical Junction Box (for ½” and ¾ “ conduit) placed above heating element for easy installation. No spot welds used.

10 – Direct Immersion Heating Element is completely immersed – all the heat goes into the water. Nickel Chromium heating coil imbedded in magnesium oxide and sealed in a tinned-copper tube. Although in direct

contact with water, the ends are sealed to prevent entrance of moisture., Elements are changed, should the need arise, by screwing into special tank flanges.

11 – Automatic Temperature Control Thermostat keeps stored water at desired temperature.
