The
industry standard (ANSI Z21.47) requires all furnace manufactures to test heat
exchangers to 10,000 cycles. Amana wanted more. At least 100 times
more!
Amana's revolutionary Million-Air stainless steel heat exchanger
has gone beyond one million cycles. And the Million-Air is still running
without any sign of failure. That means igniting the burner, heating the
exchanger to 1,100 F and allowing it to cool to 200 F. Then repeating the
process more than one million times! A million cycles can equate to a
century of use under normal operating conditions and maintenance.
The Million-Air draws on three key technologies that work
together with the physical properties of the stainless steel tubes. The
result is a tight, strong, long-lasting heat exchanger that is unsurpassed in
the industry.

AMANA IGNITER SYSTEM
A
nearly indestructible Silicon Nitride Igniter and Adaptive Learning Routine comprise our impressive new Sure-Start ignition system.
-
Silicon Nitride Igniter. Ours is seven times
stronger than common silicon carbide igniters. It's so rugged, it can be
pressed through a piece of wood without the igniter breaking, and it will
operate while exposed to water, condensation, bleach and other household
contaminants.
-
Adaptive Learning Routine. This ensures the igniter
delivers just the right temperature for ignition and not a bit more.
