THE FIRST AND STILL THE BEST!
I
n 1948, Raypak introduced the first copper-fin tube designs for
hydronic heating and hot water supply. Since then, Raypak boilers
and water heaters have consistently led the industry in engineering
innovations and quality improvements. Nearly 60 years and over
one million installed units later, Raypak is still the undisputed leader
in quality and reliability. That's why more heating professionals rely
on Raypak than any other manufacturer.
Reliability
Design simplicity, quality materials and meticulous
craftsmanship have earned Raypak a rock-solid reputation
for reliability. While others busily design cost out of their
products, Raypak has continued to engineer
dependability in. Features like thermal shockproof heat
exchangers with floating return headers are standard.
Burners are made from a proprietary titanium-stainless
steel alloy formulated to resist corrosion and warping. All
metal surfaces are rust protected. Every detail is designed
to extend product life.
Every detail improves
dependability, because
every detail matters.
Compact Design
Raypak's low boiler mass
design offers a significant
improvement over
antiquated cast iron, steel
tube, and tank type
heaters. With a smaller
footprint and substantial
reduction in weight, Raypak boilers can be installed just
about anywhere, including rooftops and tight quarters.
Lower Operating Costs
Raytherm atmospheric boilers are the most fuel-efficient
non-power burner units available. Moreover, their high
recovery, low standby-loss design can cut fuel costs
substantially - as much as 50% compared to low-recovery
cast iron, steel tube and fire tube boilers.
With near instantaneous response and very little water
content, Raytherm boilers fire only as required
to keep the system at temperature,
thereby all but eliminating
standby and jacket
losses.
Burner and Firing Options
Raypak offers the widest variety of burner and firing
options in the gas appliance industry, allowing engineers
to specify the correct unit for each heating or domestic
water application.
A key factor in reducing energy costs with heating
equipment is the ability to precisely meet the requirements
of the heating load. Raypak pioneered and perfected both
mechanical and motorized modulating technology with
the Raytherm atmospheric design. These designs ensure
that fuel input is evenly and accurately throttled to as low
as 20% of full fire. No other atmospheric design can match
this capability.
Trouble-Free Operation
Raytherms are engineered to perform quietly and reliably
year after year and under operating conditions where
other boilers wouldn't last twelve months. High velocity
flow through the heat exchanger creates a scouring action
that keeps even the worst hard water conditions from
fouling the boiler with scale. Heavy-duty control
enclosures and wind, rain and debris-proof boiler jacket
keeps out Mother Nature. Even the exterior coating, an
electro-statically applied baked-on UV inhibited Polytuf
powdercoat finish, was specifically selected to provide
years of durability.
Serviceability
When service is required, Raypak makes it effortless.
Controls are located at the front for easy access. Burners
and heat exchangers are simple to remove for inspection,
and are designed for quick, straightforward repair.
Replacement parts, if needed, are readily available from
Raypak and through a worldwide network of distributor
representatives and parts houses.
Experienced Technical Support
Raypak's technical support team is the best in the
business. Raypak's applications engineers and service
technicians have decades of experience and can help with
every aspect of the job from sizing to post-installation
technical support. That's why Raypak is known as "the
Hot Water Management Experts.”
