Guaranteed efficiency
The breakthrough in water tube boiler design that pro- duced the AB Series provides operating efficiency 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 re- movable and replaceable, without welding or rolling, eliminating long, expensive downtime should repairs
ever be required.
Water cooled furnace
The configuration of the water tubes provides a water cooled combustion chamber. A high percent-
age 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 fur- nace 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 floor 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 five 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 consider- able savings in building costs. Pressurized firing permits minimum sized breaching and vent.
Multi-pass flue gas travel
High velocity four-pass flue gas travel is obtained by a unique baffling system. This contributes to maximum fire side heat transfer and overall high boiler efficiencies.
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 flow through the downcomer to the lower header and heating surfaces at a temperature above possible condensing conditions. This reduces the possi- bility of “cold spots” and
damage from corrosive condensation.
Positive internal circulation
Each pass of the Bryan water tube slopes up- ward. This configuration, along with the large volume downcomer water legs, provides the extremely rapid natural thermal internal circula- tion, promoting both high efficiency 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 inter- mittent or continuous low temperature water returns may be encountered.
