Raypak’s Next Generation Condensing
Modulating Heater
Time-honored technologies unite with cutting-edge advancements in
Raypak’s new XTherm modulating vertical heater. Never before has
a vertical heater provided both the installer and building owner such
installation flexibility, ease-of-commissioning, reliability and long-term
performance. Small space, not a problem. The XTherm has one of the
smallest installed footprints of any vertical condensing heater. Our
compact design makes it the perfect choice for those hard to reach
retrofit projects. Raypak’s XTherm is built with commercial-grade
components and materials. From our steel channel base to our stainless steel flue wrapper, and secondary heat exchanger, you can tell
the XTherm is built to last. It’s easy to handle and install, but still
user friendly to service. Now is the perfect time to take a closer look
at Raypak.
Flexibility
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 IV -CSA-certified 96% efficiency at full fire for hydronic boilers and 97% for domestic hot water heaters
When the job requires high efficiency, XTherm meets your

needs.
At the heart of every Raypak XTherm is a unique integral evaporator
system - the first defense against condensation in the primary heat
exchanger. Raypak’s evaporator system collects and re-evaporates
condensate which may form during initial start-up.
(Up to 99% at part
tion. Our smooth 4:1 turndown ensures efficiency is maintained
throughout the firing rate and actually increases during part load,
right when you want it! The XTherm automatically self-tunes 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
XTherm is cutting edge technology with atmospheric simplicity

of the art variable speed fan is controlled by the
TempTracker Mod and works in smooth harmony with
the main gas valve.
5. Dungs Gas Valve
The XTherm uses a state-of-the-art main gas valve
manufactured in Germany. This precision gas valve
works in perfect unison with the combustion air fan.
The result is silky smooth light-offs and a 4:1 turn
down.
6. Flow Switch
Monitors water flow and provides safe shut down if
water flow drops below the minimum required.
7. Vent Pressure Switch
Monitors vent pressure and provides safe shut down
if back pressure is excessive.
10. Water Outlet
11. Water Inlet
The XTherm can accept 50°F continuous inlet water
temperature.
12. Cold Water Run Pumps
The XTherm comes factory equipped with a built in
Cold Water Run system. This advanced water control
system keeps the inlet water temperature to the primary heat exchanger above 120°F, regardless of the
incoming water temperature. It constantly self
adjusts and regulates the incoming water flow while
still maintaining a constant delta-T in the heat
exchanger.
without damaging the heater. There is a condensate
disposal connection on the rear of the heater. The
XTherm is also equipped with a condensate switch
that will sense a blocked condensate drain, which
protects the heater.
15. Vertical Heat Exchanger
Cylindrical, multi-pass heat exchanger captures all
radiant energy, eliminating the need for
heavy refractory.
16. Drain Valve
One of two drain valves located at the bottom of the
heat exchanger. A third drain valve is located on the
secondary heat exchanger. This allows for complete
winterizing and drainage of the heater.
8. Gas Inlet

Cold Water Run System
The XTherm comes standard with a state-of-the-art Cold Water Run system factory
mounted and plumbed. Raypak’s Cold Water Run system provides constant protection
against condensation in the primary heat exchanger. The system utilizes one or two variable speed pumps, depending on model size and type, to inject just the right amount of
water from the main system loop into the boiler to maintain the optimum inlet temperature. This allows the full capacity of the boiler to be utilized to meet the system load, while at the same time continuously maintaining the optimum inlet water temperature to prevent condensation in the primary heat exchanger. For models using the twin pump design, each pump
acts independently giving the boiler up to a 10:1 flow
turndown. All of this keeps the condensate were it
belongs, in the stainless steel secondary heat exchanger.
Raypak’s easy-to-understand user interface, including
on-board diagnostics and LED operating status lights,
tells the technician all he needs to know. All
service/repair components are readily accessible from
the front or side for maximum installation flexibility.
To enhance serviceability, the control box is completely
removable allowing total access.
TempTracker Mod
Raypak’s XTherm comes standard with TempTracker Mod. This control can be used for
space heating and hot water supply with 8 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 ratio. Adjustable limits prevent over-cycling,
saving energy and extending the life of the heater. Your XTherm 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.

On-Board Diagnostic Center
Raypak’s XTherm 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.
