Economizer (dry-bulb or enthalpy)

Economizers save money. They bring in fresh, outside air for ventilation; and provide cool, outside air to cool your building. This is the preferred method of low-ambient cooling. When coupled to CO2 sensors, Economizers can provide even more savings by coupling the ventilation air to only that amount required.

Economizers are available, installed and tested by the factory, with either enthalpy or dry-bulb temperature inputs. There are also models for electromechanical as well as direct digital controllers. Additional sensors are available as accessories to optimize the economizers.

Economizers include gravity controlled, barometric relief equalizes building pressure and ambient air pressures. This can be a cast effective solution to prevent building pressurization.

CO2 Sensor

Improves productivity and saves money by working with the economizer to intake only the correct amount of outside air for ventilation. As occupants fill your building, the CO2 sensor detects their presence through increasing CO2 levels, and opens the economizer appropriately.

When the occupants leave, the CO2 levels decrease, and the sensor appropriately closes the economizer. This intelligent control of the ventilation air, called Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) reduces the overall load on the rooftop, saving money.

Smoke Detectors

Trust the experts. Smoke detectors make your application safer and your job easier. Bryant smoke detectors immediately shut down the rooftop unit when smoke is detected. They are available, installed by the factory, for supply air, return air, or both.

Louvered Hail Guards

Sleek, louvered panels protect the condenser coil from hail damage, foreign objects, and incidental contact.

Convenience Outlet (powered or un-powered)

Lower service bills by including a convenience outlet in your specification. Bryant will install this service feature at our factory, powered. Provides a convenient, 15 amp, 115V GFCI receptacle.

Non-fused Disconnect

This OSHA-compliant, factory-installed, safety switch allows a service technician to locally secure power to the rooftop.

Power Exhaust Pressure Relief

Superior internal building pressure control. This field-installed accessory may eliminate the need for costly, external pressure control fans.

RTU-MP, Multi-protocol Controller

Connect the rooftop to an existing BAS without needing complicated translators or adapter modules using the RTU-MP controller. This new controller speaks the 4 most common building automation system languages (Bacnet, Modbus, N2, and Lonworks). Use this controller when you have an existing BAS.

Time Guard II Control Circuit

This accessory protects your compressor by preventing short-cycling in the event of some other failure, prevents the compressor from restarting for 30 seconds after stopping. Not required with RTU-MP or authorized commercial thermostats.

Filter or Fan Status Switches

Use these differential pressure switches to detect a filter clog or indoor fan motor failure. When used in conjunction with a compatible unit controller/thermostat, the switches will activate an alarm to warn the appropriate personnel.

Motorized 2-Position Damper

The new Bryant 2-position, motorized outdoor air damper admits up to 100% outside air. Using reliable, gear-driven technology, the 2-position damper opens to allow ventilation air and closes when the rooftop stops, stopping unwanted infiltration.

Manual OA Damper

Manual outdoor air dampers are an economical way to bring in ventilation air. The dampers are available in 25% and 50% versions.

548J specifications

The Bryant 548J is a high-efficiency gas furnace that combines advanced features and technologies to provide exceptional heating performance. Designed for residential applications, the furnace is notable for its ability to deliver consistent warmth while ensuring energy efficiency and reliability.

One of the main features of the Bryant 548J is its ultra-high efficiency rating, which allows homeowners to save significantly on energy costs. With an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 96.5%, this furnace is designed to convert a large portion of fuel into usable heat. This is a remarkable characteristic that not only reduces utility bills but also contributes to a lower environmental footprint.

The 548J is equipped with a modulating gas valve and a variable-speed blower motor. The modulating gas valve enables the furnace to adjust its heating output based on real-time temperature demands, ensuring a more precise heating experience. This results in reduced temperature fluctuations within the home, providing a comfortable living environment. The variable-speed blower motor works in tandem with the modulating valve, facilitating improved air circulation and efficient temperature control.

Additionally, the Bryant 548J features a durable and compact design, making it suitable for various installation spaces. Its quality construction ensures longevity, while the optional stainless steel heat exchanger enhances its reliability. The furnace also includes a quiet operation mode, which minimizes noise levels, ensuring that the unit works quietly in the background without disturbing the household's peace.

Integration with smart home technology is another advantage of the Bryant 548J. Homeowners have the option to connect the furnace to a Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat, allowing for remote temperature control and monitoring. This feature offers enhanced convenience and the ability to optimize energy use according to a homeowner’s schedule.

For peace of mind, the Bryant 548J comes with a range of warranties, protecting the consumer's investment. Bryant’s commitment to quality is reflected in their extensive primary heating testing procedures, which ensure that each unit meets strict performance criteria before it reaches the customer.

In summary, the Bryant 548J is an efficient and reliable gas furnace that embodies advanced heating technology. With features such as high AFUE ratings, modulating gas valves, variable-speed blowers, and smart home compatibility, it stands out as a formidable option for modern residential heating solutions.
