Time-honored technologies unite with cutting-edge advancements in
Raypak’s MVB modulating vertical boiler. Never before has a vertical
boiler provided both the installer and building owner such installation
flexibility, ease-of-commissioning, reliability and long-term performance. Small space, not a problem. The MVB has the smallest installed
footprint of any vertical boiler, only 5.4 square feet. Raypak’s MVB is
built with commercial-grade components and materials. From our
steel channel base to our stainless steel flue wrapper, you can tell the
MVB is built to last. It’s easy to handle and install, but still user
friendly to service. Our compact design fits through a 30” door opening making it the perfect choice for those hard to reach retrofit projects. Now is the perfect time to take a closer look at Raypak.
Flexibility
Small diameter vents and industry-leading vent length allowances
afford greater vent location options, thus reducing wasted space. Vent
versatility is further enhanced by the self-tuning combustion system
which compensates for unusual chimney and vent configurations.
Category I* -CSA-certified 84% boiler and up to 85% water heater
models available. Our category I solution is the perfect replacement
for your retro-fit applications. This reduces the installed cost by using
existing category I venting or chimney. Installation couldn’t be easier;
all connections are on the back of the unit. Start-up is a snap, it’s as
close to plug-n-play as a boiler can get.
Category IV -CSA-certified 87% efficiency at full fire–the highest possible for non-condensing boilers
the job requires high efficiency, our category IV solution meets your
needs.
At the heart of every Raypak MVB is a unique integral evaporator
system - the first defense against harmful condensation. Raypak’s
evaporator system collects and re-evaporates condensate which may
form during initial start-up or brief periods of cold-water operation,
eliminating the need for a boiler condensate drain. This saves you
money on installation costs as well as the headache of dealing with
multiple condensate drains.
(Up to 88.4% at part load!)
When
True Modulation
Modulation is nothing new to Raypak, we have honed our gas modulation experience for over 50 years. The Raypak MVB will infinitely
track the heating load precisely with it’s built in TempTracker Mod
control, eliminating costly overshooting. Utilizing the latest European
technology for the blower-gas valve package, the optimum fuel-air
ratio is maintained throughout the entire range of the load-tracking
operation. Our smooth 4:1 turndown (503 thru 2003) ensures efficiency is maintained through out the firing rate and actually increases
during part load, right when you want it! The MVB automatically selftunes to accommodate the widest range of gas supply pressures. The
high quality integrated blower-gas valve is self-correcting and allows
smooth operation with fluctuating gas supply pressures. The Raypak
MVB is cutting edge technology with atmospheric simplicity

On-Board Diagnostic Center
Raypak’s MVB comes equipped with a microprocessor-controlled diagnostic control center that displays its information on a 2x20 character LCD
display in plain English. This control monitors system safeties, ignition faults and system status, while storing up to 16 reported faults. Raypaks
diagnostic center monitors the fault outputs of the Fenwal ignition control. Converting the Fenwal’s flashing lights into real English fault codes
that anyone can understand. The control is also equipped with a SPDT dry contact relay output that is switched anytime a safety fault occurs.
This can be used for a heater alarm or a BMS safety interface.

TempTracker Mod
Raypak’s MVB comes standard with TempTracker Mod. This control can be used for space
heating and hot water supply with eight application-specific modes to meet various applications, including outdoor reset for heating systems. The control monitors and displays
inlet and outlet temperatures on all applications as well as monitor outdoor temperature
when an outdoor reset mode is selected. Only Raypak’s TempTracker Mod allows for a
user definable outdoor reset slope. Boiler adjustable limits prevent over cycling, saving
energy and extending the life of the boiler. Your MVB is never down with a sensor failure
thanks to Raypak’s exclusive TempTracker software. It can operate with as little as one
functioning sensor, keeping you up and running until service arrives.
