Camus DynaFlame DFW 1200 (Non-Condensing DHW) in practice

Per the official DynaFlame spec sheet (99-0142 Rev 01), the DFW 1200 is rated 1200 MBTU/hr input and 1020 MBTU/hr output with a 700 lb approximate shipping weight. It connects through the range's vertical cylindrical watertube heat exchanger — 439 stainless steel, 6-pass, 160 psig working pressure — and vents in category i or iii non-condensing configuration.

The model is a non-condensing appliance: the spec sheet prints up to 85% thermal efficiency with a 3:1 turndown ratio (minimum 35% firing rate) and light-off at no more than 50% input. Electrical draw is 7 A at 115 V single-phase, and the vent-diameter table prints Cat. I 10", Cat. III up to 50 ft 6", Cat. III up to 100 ft 8" and outdoor 6".

As a domestic-hot-water appliance the DFW 1200 is rated for recovery capacity of 1222 GPH at a 100°F rise, 1528 GPH at 80°F, 2037 GPH at 60°F; it is design certified to ANSI Z21.10 / CSA 4.3. Camus is a Mississauga, Ontario manufacturer, and Boilers.ca reproduces the manufacturer's printed figures here; sizing a boiler plant or DHW system remains a load calculation by a licensed contractor.

Best suited to

Domestic hot-water plants whose design load lands near 1200 MBTU/hr input (1020 MBTU/hr output)
Projects wanting a non-condensing Camus watertube boiler with a Canadian-built stainless heat exchanger
Multiple-boiler plants: the SOLA control documented for the DynaFlame line cascades up to eight units
