FEATURES/BENEFITS (cont)

The efficient in-shot burners and all ignition components are contained in an easily removable, compact assembly.

The California Air Quality Management Districts NOx require- ment of 40 nanograms/joule or less is met on 036-060 size Low NOx models.

The extra thick Alumagard™ heat exchanger coating provides corrosion resistance and ensures long life (optional stainless steel heat exchangers are available).

The unsightly appearance of flue stacks is eliminated and the effects of wind on heating operations are diminished by the induced draft combustion system. The inducer fan draws hot combustion gas through the heat exchanger at the optimum rate for the most effective heat transfer. The heat exchanger operates under negative pressure, preventing flue gas leakage into the indoor supply air.

During the heating mode, the evaporator-fan relay automatically starts the evaporator fan after the heat exchanger warms up to a suitable temperature. The 30-second fan delay prevents cold air from entering the supply duct system when the conditioned space is calling for heat to maximize efficiency.

The direct-spark ignition system saves operating expense when compared to pilot ignition systems. No crossover tube is required, therefore no sooting or pilot fouling problems can occur.

All standard units are designed for natural gas, but an acces- sory LP (liquid propane) conversion kit is available.

All units have a flame rectification sensor to quickly sense the burner flame and ignite burners almost immediately. Fast shut- down is a certainty since the sensor reacts quickly to any flame outage or system failure. In the event of a shutdown, an error code is issued at the IGC board.

Safety is also assured due to the heating safety controls which will shut down the unit if there is a problem. If excessive temper- atures develop, limit switches shut off the gas valve. After 4 continuous short cycles of the high-temperature limit switch, the IGC board locks out the gas heat cycle to prevent any fur- ther short cycles. This safety feature is provided exclusively on Bryant rooftop units. The rollout switch also deenergizes the gas valve in the event of a flame rollout.

QUIET, EFFICIENT OPERATION AND DEPENDABLE PER- FORMANCE — Compressors have vibration isolators for quiet operation. Efficient fan and motor design permits operation at low sound levels.

Unit sizes 090-300 offer lower utility costs through part-load operation using 2 or 3 stages of cooling.

Quiet and efficient operation is provided by belt-driven evapora- tor fans (standard on all units over 5 tons). The belt-driven evaporator-fan is equipped with variable-pitch pulleys which allow adjustment within the rpm ranges of the factory-supplied pulleys.

Increased operating efficiency is achieved through computer- designed coils featuring staggered internally enhanced copper tubes. Fins are ripple-edged for strength, lanced, and double waved for higher heat transfer.

DURABLE, DEPENDABLE CONSTRUCTION — Designed for durability in any climate, the weather-resistant cabinets are con- structed of galvanized steel and bonderized, and all exterior panels are coated with a prepainted baked enamel finish. The paint finish is non-chalking, and is capable of withstanding ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) B117 500-hour Salt Spray Test. All internal cabinet panels are primed, permitting longer life and a more attractive appearance for the entire unit.

In addition, all size 036-151 units are designed with a single, continuous top piece to eliminate any possible leaks at seams or gasketing. Totally enclosed condenser-fan motors and permanently lubricated bearings provide additional unit dependability.

EASY INSTALLATION AND CONVERSION

All Units are Shipped in the Vertical Duct Configuration for fit-up to standard roof curbs. The contractor can order and install the roof curb early in the construction stage, before deci- sions on size requirements are made.

All units feature a base rail design with forklift slots and rigging holes for easier maneuvering. Durable packaging protects all units during shipment and storage.
