In most heating systems, condensate, and sometimes steam, is trapped out of heaters, kettles, hot presses, molds, absorbers, and other equipment and drained to a return unit having given up some of its heat in the process. If a trap malfunctions, the condensate can be passed to the return unit at a much higher temperature causing the return unit to fail. When using Bryan Condensate Transfer Stations as the return unit, this problem is overcome because they are designed to eliminate cavitation at higher temperatures. In addition, Bryan Condensate Transfer Stations are designed to handle the higher load placed on them during cold starts and are supplied with reliable pumps that are designed to handle hotter water and develop higher pressures at lower speeds.

Bryan Condensate Transfer Stations Features
Construction
Bryan Condensate Transfer Stations can be supplied for either simplex or duplex operations. Simplex units can be converted to duplex operations in the field if an upgrade is required for receivers larger than eight gallons. Users can specify either cast iron or 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) steel receivers with receiver capacities ranging from 8 to 50 gallons (30 to 189 liters). A safety reserve is provided in these capacities to
handle water at up to 10 psi (0.68 bar) above the selected discharge pressure. Safety venting to the atmosphere is re- quired. Units will deliver hot water at temperatures up to 200ºF (93ºC) and will not vapor bind at 210ºF (98ºC).
Electrical equipment is generally mounted at least 1 foot (0.305 m) above floor level for safety and to maintain pumping if flooding occurs.
Bryan Condensate Transfer units are supplied with an internal pump that operates at 1750 rpm. Pumps, which are mounted vertically on top of the receiver, are leak proof and easy to maintain.
Floats are set at the factory to provide about 2 inches (5.08 cm) of water level variation between start and stop. This insures frequent recycling and smaller condensate transfers at higher temperatures, thus improving overall efficiency of the boiler system.
Settings for both float switches and mechanical alternators can be field adjusted. All units can be provided with optional pressure gauges for the pump discharge. An optional thermom- eter can be provided for the receiver.
Electrical
Motor sizes range from 1/4 hp to 2 hp and operate at 1750 rpm. Operating voltages are 115/230 volt single phase or 230/460 volt three phase. Enclosed motors are available as an option. Electrical options are available. Consult your Bryan represen- tative for more information.
