easy to install as a single unit, but it is easy to install as a multi-boiler cascade. The
boilers can be configured back-to-back or in-line by using a simple frame. This is
especially useful when boiler rooms are small or unusually shaped. In fact, a 4-boiler
cascade, delivering over 1,000 MBH, can fit in less than 13 square feet of floor
space. This makes the GB162 ideal for new installations, as well as for replacing an
inefficient heating system and freeing up valuable commercial floor space.

The GB162 is also extremely quiet in operation, thanks to a number of acoustic

insulation measures and the low resistance on water flowing through the boiler.
Combine its compact size, wall-hung versatility, and quiet operation with its vertical or
horizontal venting options, and the GB162 makes heating system planning easier, as
it offers potential placement not just in a traditional boiler room.

ALU-Plus Modern Technology – Modern Efficiency

The Buderus GB162 wall-hung condensing boilers use an advanced, aluminum
ALU-Plus heat exchanger design. This lightweight heat exchanger has a number of
innovative features to prolong its life and increase the efficiency of the boiler. Fins
on the outside of the aluminum tube
increase the exterior surface area. This
means more hot flue gas comes into
contact with the heat exchanger to
maximize heat transfer. A spiral channel
on the inside of the tube increases
the internal surface area and creates
turbulence, bringing more water into
contact with the heating surface, also
ensuring optimal heat transfer. The surface of the heat exchanger tubes are treated
with a patented plasma-polymerization process that leaves the surface so smooth A Safe Economical Choice
that no deposits can adhere to it. In addition to also helping maintain extremely high
efficiency, this keeps the heat exchanger clean. Buderus manufactures with strict quality
procedures. This ensures that all our

In parallel mode the first boiler would fire at 20% and, as the heat load increases,
additional boilers would fire at 20% until all boilers are operational. Once all the
boilers in the cascade are firing, the control collectively modulates all the boilers to
satisfy the load. Parallel mode enables the boilers to run at the lowest modulation
rate for the longest period of the heating cycle.

The Convenience of a Logamatic Control

In addition to manual adjustments, Logamatic controls can be pre-programmed for
automatic night and day functions and pre-set to trigger automatic adjustments
based on outdoor or indoor temperature shifts. This includes adjustment by time,
date, or temperature between various modes of operation. All Logamatic controls
now include summer, winter and vacation modes to efficiently regulate energy
consumption. An optional module is available that enables direct communication
