BERETTA FONTE 2 DGT 14 L/MIN LPG OPEN CHAMBER GAS WATER HEATER - NEW MODEL

General characteristics

SOURCE 2 DGT

Source 2 DGT, hot water in compact dimensions

The new Fonte 2 DGT line of water heaters was born from Beretta's experience and technological research, designed to offer maximum sanitary comfort, maximum energy savings and greater ease of use. Thanks to its extremely compact dimensions, Fonte 2 DGT can be placed even in limited spaces and therefore represents the ideal solution to meet the installation needs of modern living contexts. The range, an open ionization chamber with battery ignition, two water filters as standard and with codes for both methane and LPG, is made up of the Fonte 2 DGT versions with 11 and 14 litres/min models and Fonte 2 DGT FLEX with a model from 11 litres/min. The FLEX versions also include hoses and a sanitary tap.

Source 2 DGT: high energy class and reduced consumption

The Fonte 2 DGT line of water heaters is equipped with the special device called Economizer, specifically designed to combine maximum user comfort with significant energy and economic savings. In fact, activating the Economizer allows you to reduce gas consumption by up to over 50%, limiting the maximum thermal power supplied, when the use needs are limited (low temperature difference or reduced withdrawal flow rates, such as for example during the summertime). Furthermore, on all Fonte 2 DGT models the Economizer can be adjusted progressively by the user, depending on needs, reaching maximum savings in the small flame position. Finally, the devices in the Fonte 2 DGT range are equipped with flame modulation which, by adapting the gas consumption to the individual withdrawal requests, allows the temperature of the water supplied to be kept almost constant, compatibly with the settings made and the power of the water heater.

The Beretta Fonte 2 DGT water heater always guarantees very low gas consumption and respect for the environment. Beretta Fonte 2 DGT complies with current ERP regulations placing itself in CLASS A of energy consumption.

Functionality and ease of use

The Fonte 2 DGT water heaters, with a linear and essential design, have an ergonomic dashboard which houses two knobs that allow you to manage all the functions of the appliance in a simple and intuitive way and a display that highlights the temperature of the domestic hot water produced. The left knob, in addition to the on/off functions, activates the "Gas economizer" device, adjustable between the small flame and the large flame, allowing the user to achieve interesting gas savings. The right knob allows you to set the temperature of the water supplied by regulating the quantity of water coming out

Characteristics:

Beretta is “ERP”. The concrete commitment towards an eco-sustainable future

The acronym ErP, an acronym for "Energy related Products" , identifies Directive 2009/125/EC aimed at reducing the energy consumption of products through eco-friendly design. Starting from 26 September 2015 , the date of its effective entry into force in the European Union, it will mark an epochal turning point for heating products and the production of domestic hot water. Furthermore, on that date other regulations issued at the same time for the energy labeling of products will also become effective, integrating the corresponding Directive 2010/30/EU.

The regulation provides that all products intended for heating and the production of domestic water with a nominal thermal power lower than or equal to 70 kW can only be placed on the market with an energy label that highlights the *efficiency class . Different energy efficiency labels have been provided based on the different types of appliance/technologies, but they all have the same graduated color scale which identifies the various efficiency levels at a glance. The purpose of the labels is to give the consumer the possibility of easily identifying the level of efficiency of a product and being able to carry out a homogeneous comparison between products that use different technologies. For products whose transformation efficiency is influenced by external conditions, such as heat pumps, the efficiency data is reported by climate band.

In addition to product labels, the European regulation provides for the creation of a system label if systems are created with different devices, components and related controls. This second type of labelling, thanks to the virtuous synergy between the different elements, will give the possibility of creating systems capable of reaching levels of efficiency even higher than those of the individual devices. Also starting from the same date, new seasonal efficiency limits will come into force for products intended for heating and combined heating. These, for products with a nominal thermal power equal to or less than 400kW, will prevent the placing on the market of less efficient products. The obligation to respect minimum heat dispersion limits will also be triggered for DHW tanks. For primary water tanks, these will be subject to compliance with an energy classification based on heat dispersion. For sanitary storage, up to 500 liters will be required to label, from 500 to 2000 liters will be required to comply with the energy classification. For heat pumps for heating and for mixed appliances, in addition to the seasonal efficiency limits, specific noise emission limits will be established for power sizes. Even water heaters, be they gas, heat pump or solar, in order to be placed on the market, in addition to energy labelling, will have to comply with a series of requirements in terms of efficiency.
