Features and Benefits
Measuring only 79.8" high x 35" wide x 89.3" deep, the Benchmark S 5000 and 6000 are the most efficient condensing boiler in an unmatched compact footprint that is up to half the size of other five/six million BTU/hr boiler on the market. Incorporating AERCO’s highly reliable, stainless steel, fire-tube heat exchanger, the Benchmark S 5000 and 6000 provide engineers, facilities management, and building owners with the flexibility to fit in both retrofit and new construction that require one or multiple 5000 or 6000 MBH boilers.

Unmatched Modulation and Efficiency
Benchmark S water boiler is designed for condensing application in any closed loop hydronic system. It delivers unmatched burner modulation to match energy input directly to fluctuating system loads to yield the highest possible seasonal efficiencies. And no other product packs as much capacity into such a small footprint.
Low Emissions
To minimize emissions, the Benchmark S Series is fitted with a Low NOx burner whose emissions will meet the most stringent NOx and CO requirements. The fully modulating burner also maintains AERCO standards for energy efficiency, longevity, reliability and construction quality. The boiler can be field set for Ultra Low NOx emissions of 9 ppm.
Compact, Easy-to-Apply Design
With the smallest footprint in the industry and measuring only 79.8" high x 35" wide x 89.3" deep, the Benchmark S 5000 and 6000 easily fits through a standard size doorway overcoming the most challenging projects in the smallest mechanical rooms. Benchmark S boilers can be used as an individual unit or in modular arrangements and offers selectable modes of operation including constant set point, outdoor reset schedule or 4-20mA signal. For boiler plants ranging from 2-16 boilers, the AERCO Edge® built-in Boiler Sequencing Technology (BST) can be utilized. For heating plants greater than 16 boilers, AERCO Control System (ACS) provides the right solution for up to 32 boilers. Likewise, Benchmark S systems can be easily integrated with a facility-wide Energy Management or Building Automation System via Modbus.
Boiler Sequencing Technology (BST)
It requires less energy for a group of modulating boilers, each firing at “part load,” to heat a building, than for a single boiler operating at “full fire” to carry the entire workload. To meet building demand, the BST will employ as many boilers as available, each operating at its most efficient firing rate. Importantly, because the BST reacts in real-time to, up to 16 boilers, changes in the number of boilers available, users can take a unit offline for maintenance at any time or bring on back-up boilers for extremely cold conditions without changes to the BST. And as individual boilers are added or deleted, the energy delivered is automatically adjusted to prevent fluctuations in the header temperature of the plant.
