General characteristics
SOURCE 2 DGT
Fonte 2 DGT, hot water in compact dimensions
From Beretta's experience and technological research comes the new line of Fonte 2 DGT water heaters, designed to offer maximum sanitary comfort, maximum energy savings and greater simplicity of use. Thanks to its extremely compact dimensions, Fonte 2 DGT can also be placed in limited spaces and therefore represents the ideal solution to meet the installation needs of modern living contexts. The range, open ionization chamber with battery ignition, two water filters as standard and with codes for both methane and LPG, is made up of the Fonte 2 DGT versions with 11 and 14 litres/min models and Fonte 2 DGT FLEX with a from 11 litres/min. The FLEX versions also include the hoses and the sanitary tap.
Source 2 DGT: high energy class and low consumption
The Fonte 2 DGT line of water heaters is equipped with the special device known as the Economizer, specifically designed to combine maximum user comfort with significant energy and cost savings. The activation of the Economiser in fact allows to reduce the gas consumption up to over 50%, limiting the maximum thermal power supplied, when the usage requirements are contained (low temperature difference or reduced sampling flow rates, such as for example during summertime). Furthermore, on all Fonte 2 DGT models, the Economizer can be adjusted progressively by the user, according to needs, achieving maximum savings in the low flame position. Finally, the appliances in the Fonte 2 DGT range are equipped with flame modulation which, by adapting gas consumption to individual withdrawal requests, allows the temperature of the water supplied to be kept almost constant, compatibly with the settings made and the power of the water heater.
The Beretta Fonte 2 DGT water heater guarantees always very low gas consumption and respect for the environment. Beretta Fonte 2 DGT complies with the current ERP regulation placing itself in CLASS A for energy consumption.
Functionality and ease of use
The Fonte 2 DGT water heaters, with a linear and essential design, have an ergonomic dashboard which houses two knobs which allow you to manage all the functions of the appliance in a simple and intuitive way and a display which shows the temperature of the domestic hot water produced. The left knob, in addition to the on/off functions, activates the "Gas economizer" device, which can be adjusted between the small flame and the large flame, allowing the user to make interesting gas savings. The right knob allows you to set the temperature of the water supplied, by regulating the quantity of water at the outlet

Beretta is “ERP”. The concrete commitment towards an eco-sustainable future
The acronym ErP, acronym of "Energy related Products" (Products connected to the use of energy), identifies the Directive 2009/125/EC aimed at reducing the energy consumption of products through eco-compatible design. Starting from 26 September 2015 , the date of its effective entry into force in the European Union, it will mark an epochal turning point for heating products and the production of domestic hot water. On that date, other regulations simultaneously issued for the energy labeling of products will also become effective in addition to the corresponding Directive 2010/30/EU.
The regulation provides that all products intended for heating and for the production of domestic hot water with a nominal thermal power lower than or equal to 70 kW can only be placed on the market with an energy label that highlights the efficiency class * . Different energy efficiency labels have been provided based on the different types of appliances/technologies, but all have the same graduated color scale that identifies the various levels of efficiency at a glance. The purpose of the labels is to give the consumer the possibility to easily identify the level of efficiency of a product and to be able to make a homogeneous comparison between products that use different technologies. For products whose transformation efficiency is influenced by external conditions, such as heat pumps, the efficiency data is reported by climatic bands.
In addition to the product labels, the European regulation has provided for the creation of a system label in case systems are created with different appliances, components and related controls. This second type of labeling, thanks to the virtuous synergy between the different elements, will make it possible to create systems capable of reaching levels of efficiency even higher than those of the individual appliances. Also starting from the same date, new seasonal efficiency limits will be triggered for products intended for heating and combined. These for products with nominal thermal power equal to or less than 400kW, will prevent less efficient products from being placed on the market. The obligation to comply with minimum heat loss limits will also apply to DHW tanks. For primary water tanks, these will be subject to compliance with an energy classification based on heat dispersion. For sanitary accumulations, up to 500 liters there will be a labeling obligation, from 500 to 2000 liters will be bound to compliance with the energy classification. For heat pumps for heating and mixed appliances, in addition to the seasonal efficiency limits, there will be specific noise emission limits for power sizes. Even water heaters, whether gas, heat pump or solar, in order to be placed on the market, in addition to energy labelling, will have to comply with a series of requirements in terms of efficiency.
