Innovation has a name.
Upsilon Cascade
Intelligent controls
The boiler is equipped with its own controller per heat exchanger and is fitted with an integrated cascade manager. The
control unit allows central read-outs of settings. Each boiler anticipates the heat demands of the CH-installation. Consequently,
the boiler modulates its capacity to the installation. As a result, the boiler will be operational longer at a lower level.
The cascade manager controls the boiler order and even allocation of burning hours.
Connected to an external sensor, the control can operate weather dependent. This means that the control system measures
outside temperatures and water flow temperatures. Using these data, the control system works out the optimum water flow
temperature required for the installation
The Upsilon control shows the actual date and time which enables programs to start at the requested date and time.
The Upsilon can be connected to 0 – 10 volt, Volt Free on/off or OpenTherm signals. This makes it very easy to connect the
Upsilon to a building management system. An On-Off contact is a volt-free switch to create a heat demand with closed
contact.
An OpenTherm-control is a digital controller which is communicating with the boiler according the OpenTherm-protocol.
The controller calculates continuously the desired flow water temperature and sends this to the boiler(s).
At a heat demand of the 0-10 Volt controller a signal is sent out and varies from 0-10 Volt. This signal is translated by the
Upsilon boiler to a set value (desired flow water temperature or load) which is send via the data bus to the boiler(s).
Depending on the Voltage the set value becomes higher or lower.

Boiler configurations and easy assembly
The Upsilon cascade system is quick and easy to install thanks to the Plug & Play – principle. The diversity in configuration
options enables the installation to be placed almost anywhere, whether it is an existing location or a new built.
A.O. Smith delivers the entire package; it just needs to be put together. The quick fit hydraulic pipe work header fixes the
boiler support frames with all the interconnecting pipework. Dependent on the installation a DN65 or DN100 low loss header
will be supplied. Insulation sets are available for the flow and return pipes.
The Upsilon cascade system can be wall or frame mounted. In the frame mounted option it is possible to place the boilers in
line or back to back. A.O. Smith will provide you with the required mounting set together with all the other parts used in the
cascade installation.
The hydraulic systems are available in modules for 2 or 3 boilers fitted with double connections for back-to-back assemblies.
The connection sets between the boiler and pipe work headers are fitted with gas insulation valves and service valves.
The Upsilon cascade system is designed to fit into multiple layout options. This allows the designer to maximize the use of the
available plant room space for other installations.
On the following pages you can find some of the available configuration options.

Header configurations
A low loss header is always part of a cascade configuration. Selecting one is dependent on the capacity of the installation.
A.O. Smith delivers a DN65 low loss header up to 452 kW and a DN100 low loss header up to 960 kW.
The header can be placed on the right hand side or on the left hand side of the cascade installation. Usually the header is
placed in a straight line from the installation. As an option the low loss header can be placed in a forward of backward angle
of 90° (optional bend set for DN65 or DN100).
Low loss headers come standard with adjustable feet, automatic air vent, assembly materials, drain valve, pocket for tempera-
ture sensor and a connection for a water pressure gauge or temperature sensor.
Art. No.
0310272 Low loss header DN65 to 452kW
0310273 Low loss header DN100 to 960kW
Art. No.
0310274 Bends set DN65 flow/return
0310275 Bends set DN100 flow/return
The low loss header can be positioned at a 90° angle. A set of bends may be used for that purpose.

Heat exchanger
The heat exchanger in the Upsilon boiler is made with stainless steel tubes. Thanks to the large number of tubes a high level
of condensation is possible. The slightly tilted position of the heat exchanger ensures the disposal of the condensate water.
The smoothness and the assembly of the tubes prevent pollution of the heat exchanger. In addition, stainless steel does not
pollute as much as aluminum and hardly requires cleaning.
The ceramic burner is mounted upside down. This prevents burner pollution and has an insulating effect on the heat exchanger.
Intrusive boiler maintenance is only required once every four years, or after 16000 operating hours, which ever comes first.
This maintenance can be carried our easily and quickly. During the entire period, efficiency remains at its high level and
emissions are very low
