“For more than 20 years, Cyclone products have been the benchmark for commercial water heaters, blazing a trail for the innovation we still build on today,” said Matt Schulz, senior manager for commercial new product development at A.O. Smith. “The introduction of Cyclone XL provides customers with the same high-efficiency, cutting-edge technology available in current Cyclone models but with increased input options and expanded use of applications.”

Cyclone XL also features a unique dual stainless-steel heat exchange system, providing a two-step heat transfer process that delivers thermal efficiencies of 97%. Intelligent Demand Response (IDR) automatically adjusts the differential set point to increase availability of hot water during large demand periods. A.O. Smith’s PermaGlas® glass-lining provides superior corrosion-resistance for the stainless-steel heat exchange system and for the 119-gallon, ASME-certified storage tank.

The iCOMM™ connectivity platform comes standard with each model and provides remote monitoring, control of the set point and differential, and run history for each connected unit through the optional A.O. Smith app. The technology also provides detailed diagnostic fault notifications and fault histories to help minimize downtime for repairs and reduce lost revenue caused by service interruptions.
