igh efficiency boilers were introduced in
response to the energy crisis of the
seventies. Most first generation high
efficiency boilers were simply standard units that
had been hurriedly modified to boost efficiency.
These boilers obtained higher efficiencies by
permitting steady-state condensation in the heat
exchanger and in the combustion chamber.
Failure to adequately protect the combustion
chamber and heat exchanger from the corrosive
effects of condensate meant that most first
generation units failed prematurely. The units
condensed, eventually corroded, and finally
were discarded.
Manufacturers learned from their mistakes. They
upgraded materials, redesigned heat exchangers
and refined their manufacturing techniques. The
second generation of high efficiency boilers,
which began to appear in the late eighties, was a
vast improvement. However, second generation
units still experience damage from condensation.
Although the materials used in second generation
high efficiency boilers last considerably longer,
they still eventually succumb to corrosion.
THIRD GENERATION TECHNOLOGY
After two decades of trial-and-error, the boiler
industry has finally realized that high efficiency
and long product life can only be obtained by
preventing condensation from occurring in the
combustion chamber. Raypak’s Advanced Design
Boiler is the first of a new generation of boilers
that can obtain ultra-high efficiencies without
compromising product life. The “secret” to the
ADB’s longevity is that condensation occurs only
in a corrosion-resistant condensing heat exchanger.
The ADB is designed so that condensation will not
occur in the primary heat exchanger or the
combustion chamber. The result
is an ultra-high efficiency
product that lasts.
Welcome to the future
of boiler technology.

YOU WANT
The Advanced Design Boiler is the first boiler that can
meet your exact efficiency requirements. The ADB, when
used without the Condensing Heat Exchanger (CHX), can
deliver thermal efficiencies up to 84%.
If higher efficiency is required, simply add the Condensing
Heat Exchanger to the installation. The CHX is designed to
capture the maximum amount of available energy by
extracting both sensible and latent heat from the flue
gases. That means ultra-high efficiencies – and substantial
energy savings.

ELIABILITY.
ADVANCED BURNER TECHNOLOGY
The heart of any boiler is the burner. It’s a critical
component that’s got to be designed right. That’s
why Raypak spent over four years perfecting the
ADB burner. The result is an industrial grade, fanassisted burner that provides superior performance and is practically indestructible.
Standard high efficiency boilers use burners that
are either flimsy flame retention screens that burn
out, or radial perforated burners that eventually
clog and operate at reduced efficiencies. Unlike
these burner designs, the patented advanced
design burner will not clog or burn out. In fact,
Raypak is so confident, the new burner head is
backed with a T
EN YEAR UNCONDITIONAL WARRANTY.
The ADB’s burner utilizes a solid metal bluff-body
burner head to generate a high-intensity aerodynamically stabilized flame. The burner’s turbulent
mixing action reduces residence time and increases flue gas recirculation. The result is clean, efficient combustion with NOx emissions well within
the limits of the most restrictive air quality requirements.*
This is one tough burner and the warranty proves it.
* NOx emissions:
0-30 ppm depending on combustion air quality and
gas composition.

CENTRAL POINT WIRING AND DIAGNOSTICS
Raypak boilers have a well earned reputation for
being easy to service. The ADB is no exception. In
fact, the ADB sets a whole new standard for serviceability – because it’s the first commercial boiler
to incorporate central point wiring (CPW).
Unlike older control technologies, CPW individually
monitors each and every boiler control and safety
function. Using an intuitive LED display referred to
as the Operation Status Center, CPW gives splitsecond feedback on boiler firing status. Should
service be required, the ADB will even indicate
which component requires attention by illuminating the appropriate fault LED located on the ADB’s
U-2 Diagnostics Panel.

LEXIBILITY.
THE CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGER (CHX)
The CHX is a scavenging heat exchanger that has
been specifically designed to capture the maximum
amount of energy from the ADB’s exhaust gases.
When used with a pre-heat tank and a storage tank,
the ADB/CHX system can squeeze out an amazing
97% of all heat of combustion energy contained in
the flue gases.
The CHX is built tough
enough to withstand the
demanding conditions
found in condensing
applications. All materials
used in the CHX are
inherently corrosion
resistant and are treated
with advanced corrosionproof coatings for extra
protection. The headers
are bronze, the heat
exchanger tubes are
made of cupro-nickel and
are coated with a
condensate impervious
epoxy enamel. All
non-stainless internal fittings are either epoxy
coated or are chemically immune. The tube bundle
casing is fabricated from AL29-4C stainless steel,
and the outer jacket has an electrostatically applied
powder coat finish that is baked-on for superior
corrosion resistance and extra long life.
By segregating condensation from the primary
heat exchanger and the combustion chamber,
the CHX produces ultra-high efficiency without
sacrificing product life.
