Lochinvar Noble NKC150N High-Efficiency Combi Boiler
The Lochinvar Noble NKC150N is a high-efficiency, wall-mounted
condensing combi boiler that provides hydronic space heating and
domestic hot water from one compact appliance. With a maximum input
of 150,000 BTU and 95% AFUE efficiency, it provides dependable comfort
while helping reduce natural gas consumption.
The NKC150N combines an ASME stainless steel fire-tube heat exchanger
for space heating with a stainless steel brazed-plate heat exchanger
for domestic hot-water production. Its compact wall-mounted design
reduces the amount of mechanical-room equipment needed while preserving
valuable floor space.

Domestic Hot Water
All-in-one combi boiler:
The NKC150N provides both hydronic space heating and on-demand domestic
hot water. Its 3.6 GPM domestic hot-water rating is based on a 77°F
temperature rise. Actual hot-water delivery will vary depending on
incoming water temperature, set point and simultaneous fixture demand.

Ideal Applications
Radiant Floor Heating
Provides controlled hot-water temperatures for comfortable and
efficient in-floor radiant heating systems.
Domestic Hot Water
Produces on-demand hot water for showers, sinks and other residential
plumbing fixtures without a separate tank-style water heater.
Baseboard and Radiator Heating
Can supply properly designed hydronic baseboard, panel-radiator and
traditional radiator systems.
Hydro-Air Systems
Can serve compatible air handlers while its interlock helps prevent
cool-air circulation during domestic hot-water production.
Heating and Hot Water From One Appliance
The Noble NKC150N is designed for homes that need efficient hydronic
heating and reliable on-demand domestic hot water without installing
two separate appliances.
Consistent Space Heating
The modulating burner adjusts its output as heating demand changes,
helping maintain comfortable system-water temperatures while reducing
unnecessary on-and-off cycling.
Responsive Hot Water
Advanced domestic hot-water controls provide quick response when a
faucet or shower is opened and are designed to reduce interruptions
in hot-water delivery.
Designed for Radiant Floor Heating
The NKC150N is well suited for hydronic radiant-floor heating systems.
Its condensing operation, outdoor-reset capability and 10:1 turndown
ratio allow the boiler to adjust as outdoor temperatures and heating
loads change.
When paired with properly sized manifolds, pumps, controls and zoning
components, the NKC150N can supply multiple rooms or heating zones while
also producing domestic hot water from the same wall-mounted appliance.
