NEW ‘GREEN,’ LOW-NOx GAS-FIRED BURNER NOW STANDARD FOR STATE RESIDENTIAL LINE

State Industries, Inc. has developed and patented a new, environmentally friendly gas burner that cuts residential water heater emissions of nitric oxide and nitrous oxide (called NOx) by up to 33%, as compared with a conventional gas-fired water heater. Designed by State engineers and produced by the company’s component-manufacturing subsidiary, Apcom Inc., the "low-NOx" Green Choice™ burner is used in both natural or propane gas water-heater models.

California-compliant: The new Green Choice gas-fired burner fully complies with Rule 1121, as promulgated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and other California management districts. These agencies govern emission levels for water heaters sold and installed within their jurisdictions, including the counties of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, San Diego, Sacramento and others throughout the state.

But State has not confined production of the new Green Choice to only those water heaters sold in California. As of April 1, 2001, all State residential gas-fired units sold nationwide carry the new burner as standard equipment at no additional charge. This change encompasses both the State and Maytag brand models, including all direct-vent, power-vent, and power direct-vent units, with heat inputs up to 75,000 Btu.

Equipped with a Green Choice gas burner, a standard 40-gallon, 40,000 Btuh water heater will emit 1,158 grams of NOx annually, versus the 1,655 grams it would emit with a conventional burner — a 30% savings per water heater. If every gas-fired residential water heater made in the United States this year were equipped with a new Green Choice gas burner, the resulting savings would equal the removal of more than 400,000 cars from our nation’s highways.

Lighter, less costly: Like every other water heater manufacturer, State has previously complied with the SCAQMD’s emission regulations by outfitting its production for California with specially made burners, often constructed of cast-iron. Because of their material makeup, these bulky burners are larger and much heavier than conventional burners. Their extra weight makes them more difficult to handle and more vulnerable to damage during transport. Finally, they tend to warp over time, diminishing performance, efficiency and burner longevity.

The new Green Choice burner is made of the same aluminized steel used in conventional gas-fired water heater burners. Its weight is therefore less than one tenth that of the cast-iron models it replaces, making it easier for the installer to handle water heater, while offering the ultimate user greater durability than cast iron.

State Industries, Inc. is a major North American producer of residential and commercial water heaters and related products, with sales in excess of $400 million. Founded in 1946, the company employs more than 2,000 at its Ashland City facility, located in middle Tennessee near Nashville.
