Condensing High Efficiency
Domestic Water Heaters,
Pool Heaters and Boilers
Fully Condensing –
Ultra Efficient
The gas-fired Futera Fusion Series brings the field-proven
performance of RBI boilers and water heaters to the ultimate
levels of efficiency and reliability.
Fusion’s innovative design makes it the ideal choice for
applications with low operating, return or make-up water
temperatures. Unlike most condensing products on the market
today which publish the highest efficiencies at the lowest
inputs, the Fusion Series can attain efficiencies as high as 99%
at full input!
The fully modulating firing system continuously varies the

Symmetric
Air/Fuel Coupling
Fusion Series units operate safely and efficiently at all times
by reacting to changes in the air or fuel flow which can
compromise combustion. Air/Fuel coupling automatically
adjusts to any changes in the environment by reducing input
levels to maintain optimum combustion quality while providing
the highest degree of safety.
Air/Fuel coupling further increases application flexibility by
allowing installation of Fusion units in areas of variable air inlet
and gas pressures without compromising safety or performance.
Advanced gas train design monitors and
regulates gas input based on combustion air pressure, which in turn provides
highly repeatable air/fuel ratio throughout the operating range.
Space-saving Footprint
The compact footprint of Futera Fusion boilers allows for
multiple boiler installations while conserving valuable boiler
room space for ease of service and maintenance access.

Intelligence Built In
HeatNet, RBI’s proprietary integrated boiler management
system, is the driving force behind RBI’s energy optimization
philosophy for its high-efficiency equipment. HeatNet is
designed for precise system control and is standard on all
Futera Series boilers.
Through continuous monitoring of several system
characteristics, including boiler temperatures, limit circuit
inputs, and overall system demands, HeatNet modulates boiler
firing rates to maximize turndown ratios to maintain peak
efficiency regardless of the load.

In addition to maintaining peak efficiency in our stand-alone
