Raypak’s Next Generation

Modulating Boiler

Time-honored technologies unite with cutting-edge advancements in

Raypak’s MVB modulating vertical boiler. Never before has a vertical

boiler provided both the installer and building owner such installation

flexibility, ease-of-commissioning, reliability and long-term perform-

ance. Small space, not a problem. The MVB has the smallest installed

footprint of any vertical boiler, only 5.4 square feet. Raypak’s MVB is

built with commercial-grade components and materials. rom our

steel channel base to our stainless steel flue wrapper, you can tell the

MVB is built to last. It’s easy to handle and install, but still user

friendly to service. Our compact design fits through a 30” door open-

ing making it the perfect choice for those hard to reach retrofit proj-

ects. Now is the perfect time to take a closer look at Raypak.

Flexibility

Small diameter vents and industry-leading vent length allowances

afford greater vent location options, thus reducing wasted space. Vent

versatility is further enhanced by the self-tuning combustion system

which compensates for unusual chimney and vent configurations.

C tegory I* -CSA-certified 84% boiler and up to 85% water heater

models available. Our category I solution is the perfect replacement

for your retro-fit applications. This reduces the installed cost by using

existing category I venting or chimney. Installation couldn’t be easier;

all connections are on the back of the unit. Start-up is a snap, it’s as

close to plug-n-play as a boiler can get.

C tegory IV -CSA-certified 87% efficiency at full fire–the highest pos-

sible for non-condensing boilers

(Up to 88.4% at part load!)

When

the job requires high efficiency, our category IV solution meets your

needs.

At the heart of every Raypak MVB is a unique integral evaporator

system - the first defense against harmful condensation. Raypak’s

evaporator system collects and re-evaporates condensate which may

form during initial start-up or brief periods of cold-water operation,

eliminating the need for a boiler condensate drain. This saves you

money on installation costs as well as the headache of dealing with

multiple condensate drains.

rue Modulation

Modulation is nothing new to Raypak, we have honed our gas modu-

lation experience for over 50 years. The Raypak MVB will infinitely

track the heating load precisely with it’s built in TempTracker Mod

control, eliminating costly overshooting. Utilizing the latest European

technology for the blower-gas valve package, the optimum fuel-air

ratio is maintained throughout the entire range of the load-tracking

operation. Our smooth 4:1 turndown (503 thru 2003) ensures effi-

ciency is maintained through out the firing rate and actually increases

during part load, right when you want it! The MVB automatically self-

tunes to accommodate the widest range of gas supply pressures. The

high quality integrated blower-gas valve is self-correcting and allows

smooth operation with fluctuating gas supply pressures. The Raypak

MVB is cutting edge technology with atmospheric simplicity.

1. Control P nel

ully enclosed controls and wiring protect against dam-

age or vandalism. Cabinet design affords easy access to

controls for installation and service.

2. Temp-Tr cker Mod Control

This factory-mounted multi-function control

delivers precise load-tracking with selectable

mode displays that are easy to access and read.

3. On Bo rd Di gnostic Center

actory-mounted standard equipment. Gives relevant

service feedback as well as possible solutions to clear

the fault. All in plain English, no cryptic codes to deci-

pher. The control also stores up to 16 fault codes in its

history file for the service technician to review.

4. We ther-Proof J cket

exchanger. This allows for complete winterizing and

drainage of the heater.

Cold Water Solutions

Cold Water Start – or applications that

require reliable protection against harmful con-

densation caused by frequent, extended, cold

water start-ups. Raypak’s Cold Water Start pro-

tection system utilizes a proportional three-

way valve to bypass water from the boiler out-

let to the inlet during start-up, when the sys-

tem return water temperature is below the minimum acceptable

level. (See Cat. #1000.19)

Cold Water Run – or applications requir-

ing constant condensation protection. Raypak’s

Cold Water Run system utilizes a variable-

speed pump to inject just the right amount of

water from the main system loop into the boil-

er to maintain the optimum inlet temperature.

This approach allows the full capacity of the

boiler to be utilized to meet the system load,

while at the same time continuously maintaining the optimum inlet

water temperature to prevent condensation. (See Cat. #1000.19)

Multi Boiler Solutions

State of the art European combustion technology

Optional Equipment

emp racker Mod+ Hybrid– Controls up

to 16 Raypak boilers with PID logic. Automatic

or manually selectable lead-lag boiler opera-

tion. TempTracker Mod+ Hybrid monitors and

Smallest Installed Footprint

The MVB’s compact design allows for easy installation in the most challenging equip-

ment rooms. It’s easy to handle and install, but still user friendly to service. The MVB has

the smallest installed footprint of any vertical boiler, only 5.4 square feet. The MVB con-

tains all of it’s components to the inside of the cabinet, so there won’t be any fans or

valves hanging off the cabinet that need extra clearance. The compact design fits

through a 30” door opening making it the perfect choice for those hard to reach retrofit

projects.

On-Board Diagnostic Center

Raypak’s MVB comes equipped with a microprocessor-controlled diagnostic control center that displays its information on a 2x20 character LCD

display in plain English. This control monitors system safeties, ignition faults and system status, while storing up to 16 reported faults. Raypaks

diagnostic center monitors the fault outputs of the enwal ignition control. Converting the enwal’s flashing lights into real English fault codes

that anyone can understand. The control is also equipped with a SPDT dry contact relay output that is switched anytime a safety fault occurs.

This can be used for a heater alarm or a BMS safety interface.

emp racker Mod

Raypak’s MVB comes standard with TempTracker Mod. This control can be used for space

heating and hot water supply with eight application-specific modes to meet various appli-

cations, including outdoor reset for heating systems. The control monitors and displays

inlet and outlet temperatures on all applications as well as monitor outdoor temperature

when an outdoor reset mode is selected. Only Raypak’s TempTracker Mod allows for a

user definable outdoor reset slope. Boiler adjustable limits prevent over cycling, saving

energy and extending the life of the boiler. Your MVB is never down with a sensor failure

thanks to Raypak’s exclusive TempTracker software. It can operate with as little as one

functioning sensor, keeping you up and running until service arrives.
