A. O. Smith has released the Cyclone FLEX High Efficiency Commercial Gas Water Heater. It features the company’s AiQ adaptive gas technology, which maximizes combustion efficiency by identifying the gas supply qualities and automatically adjusting parameters for optimal combustion control.

Featuring up to 98% thermal efficiency, the heaters are available in three input sizes within the company’s 60-, 100-, and 119-gallon platforms. A 7-inch color touch display makes it easier to use and maintain the unit. Cyclone FLEX also includes integrated leak detection with optional water shutoff to prevent damage to the unit and its surroundings if water is sensed.
