AERCO announced the expansion of its SmartPlate EV indirect water heater line with the addition of new high-flow models, capable of supporting domestic hot water loads up to 140 gallons per minute. Designed to pair with condensing and electric boilers – including seamless integration with AERCO’s Benchmark and Benchmark E boilers – the new SmartPlate EV models offer greater performance flexibility. The SmartPlate EV line is engineered to complement low-temperature hydronic systems. By using boiler water temperatures as little as 5°F above the required DHW set point, SmartPlate EV reduces radiation losses and drives overall system efficiency.

The design ensures the heat exchanger is isolated from the potable water. This helps mitigate scaling and corrosion issues common in areas with hard water or poor water quality, extending equipment life and lowering maintenance needs. All wetted components on the DHW side are constructed from stainless steel, copper or copper alloy, further enhancing durability and resistance to corrosion. SmartPlate EV features high flow capacity, tight temperature control, a compact designs, high operating pressure, flexible valve options, integrated control and seamless boiler pairing.
