Guaranteed effi ciency and easy

All Bryan RV Series boilers offer these operating and performance features

Guaranteed effi ciency

The breakthrough in water tube boiler design that pro­duced the RV Series provides operating effi ciency so
reliable, we guarantee it to be 84% for hot water boilers
and 82% - 15 psi / 80% - 150 psi or better for steam boilers.

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

The configuration of the

Water
Boiler

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 32" for tube removal, and on only one side
of the boiler, the RV 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 down-comer 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.
