Guaranteed effi ciency and easy
maintenance assure low cost operation
All Bryan AB Series boilers offer these operating and performance features
Guaranteed effi ciency
The breakthrough in water tube boiler design that produced the AB Series provides operating effi ciency so
reliable, we guarantee it to be 83.5% for hot water boilers
and 82% - 15 PSI / 80% - 150 PSI or better for steam.
The Bryan Flexible Tube
Bryan’s exclusive “Flexible Tube” design
eliminates the possibility of damage
from so-called “thermal
shock.” Tubes are easily removable and replaceable,
without welding or rolling,
eliminating long, expensive
downtime should repairs
ever be required.
Water cooled furnace
Water
Boiler
The confi guration of the
water tubes provides a
water cooled combustion
chamber. A high percentage of the heating surface is exposed to direct radiant
heat, increasing water velocities and heat transfer.
Large steam drum
The steam drum has generous water volume and steam
release area. This design, along with effective drum
internal functions, results in a stable water level and
produces extremely dry steam at all load conditions.
Accessibility of furnace and tube area
Inner panel provides easy and complete access to furnace and boiler tube area, as well as to burner head. All
panels are heavily insulated and sealed to boiler frame.
All access is from only one side.
Compact design, minimum fl oor space
With our compact water tube design, the overall size
of the unit is less than most other types of boilers, yet
maintains a full fi ve square feet of heating surface area
per HP. Needing only 24" for tube removal, and on only
one side of the boiler, the AB Series boiler occupies very
little space in the boiler room. This can result in considerable savings in building costs. Pressurized fi ring permits
minimum sized breaching and vent.
Multi-pass fl ue gas travel
High velocity four-pass fl ue gas travel is obtained by a
unique baffl ing system. This contributes to maximum fi re
side heat transfer and overall high boiler effi ciencies.
Thermal blend water return
Bryan’s unique “thermal blend” return blends cold or
cooler return water with warmer boiler water abridging it
to design operating temperatures. An injector tube directs
the “mixed” water fl ow through the downcomer to the
lower header and heating surfaces at a temperature above
possible condensing conditions. This reduces the possibility of “cold spots” and
damage from corrosive
condensation.
Steam
Boiler
Positive internal
circulation
Each pass of the Bryan
water tube slopes upward. This confi guration,
along with the large
volume downcomer
water legs, provides the
extremely rapid natural
thermal internal circulation, promoting both high
effi ciency of heat transfer and
uniform temperature throughout the
boiler. Eliminating stress damage caused
by unequal temperature distribution is especially
important for heating systems, particularly where intermittent or continuous low temperature water returns may
be encountered.
