A system and a method for tracking agricultural commodities, such as crop inventories, is based on measuring a flow of crop through an equipment unit during a period of time, and determining the flow of crop through the unit to be a transfer event. More particularly, there is measured a quantity of crop in a first equipment unit; followed by a detection of a presence of one or more additional equipment units proximate the first equipment unit; and by a determination of at least one crop transfer event between the first equipment and at least one of the additional equipment units based on a change in the quantity of crop in the first equipment unit and the detection of presence.

A method of assembling multiple low NOburners including the step of assembling multiple bodies, each body including a multiple first burner ports connected to a first burner inlet and multiple second burner ports connected to a second burner inlet. The method also including the step of selecting one of the bodies and inserting a first inlet tube into the second burner inlet to provide a fuel/air mixture to the second burner ports at a first rate. The method also including the step of selecting one of the bodies and inserting a second inlet tube into the second burner inlet to provide the fuel/air mixture to the second burner ports at a second rate different than the first rate.

A method of assembling multiple low NOburners (), a low NOburners () and a tankless gas-fired water heater () are disclosed. The method includes the step of assembling multiple bodies (), each body () includes multiple first burner ports () connected to a first burner inlet () and multiple second burner ports () connected to a second burner inlet (). The method also includes the step of selecting one of the bodies () and inserting a first inlet tube () into the second burner inlet () to provide a fuel/air mixture to the second burner ports () at a first rate. The method also includes the step of selecting one of the bodies () and inserting a second inlet tube () into the second burner inlet () to provide the fuel/air mixture to the second burner ports () at a second rate different from the first rate.

A water heater includes a storage tank for storing water, a combustion chamber, a burner positioned in the combustion chamber, and a heat exchanger positioned in the storage tank. The burner produces products of combustion. The heat exchanger receives the products of combustion from the combustion chamber and transfers heat from the products of combustion to the water stored in the storage tank. The heat exchanger includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion is positioned above the combustion chamber and the lower portion is positioned below the combustion chamber.
