The
Two-Stage Principle
Canada is a country of widely varying temperatures from season
to season. Our research has documented that a typical commercial,
industrial and residential building requires its total designed
heating capacity only 10 percent of the heating season. The two-stage
RE-VERBER-RAY LD SERIES was specifically developed to more efficiently
meet the heating requirements of the other 90 percent of the heating
season - particularly for commercial, industrial and residential
applications requirements. The two graphs shown here between single
stage infra-red heating and the two-stage technology introduced
to Canada in 1994 by Brant Radiant Heaters.
Independent
Testing Conclusions
Independent test data has compared the fuel efficiency of
two-stage versus single stage infra-red heating and conclusively
demonstrated that RE-VERBER-RAY two-stage technology used
in the LD SERIES results in a clearly more efficient heating
system over standard single-stage. Highlights of the conclusions
from the Technical Reports produced include:
1. A significant reduction in the number of on-off cycles
(a reduction of some 35 percent) resulting in increased
energy savings, improved comfort and extended product life.
2. A minimum 12 percent energy saving utilizing Re-VERBER-RAY
two stage technology when compared with single stage.
3. For really cold Winter days - about ten percent of the
heating season - full heat output is readily available on
demand with the "high-fire" mode of two-stage.
The "low-fire" mode more clearly parallels the
actual requirements for the remaining 90 percent of the
heating season.
4. The greater overall performance efficiency of the RE-VERBER-RAY
two-stage technology used in the LD SERIES results in a
cleaner environment. |

Typical Applications
INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
The RE-VERBER-RAY LD Series of natural gas and propane heaters
are low input two-stage infra-red heaters designed for reduced
mounting heights or low input requirements. Typical industrial
and commercial building installations may include:
| |
Lunchrooms |
Mezzanine Areas |
| Outdoor Patios |
Churches |
| Showrooms |
Kennels |
| Parts Counters |
Restaurants |
RESIDENTIAL
APPLICATIONS
Select models of the RE-VERBER-RAY LD SERIES of natural gas and
propane heaters are design-certified by the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) for use in residential applications in specific
areas that are adjacent or attached to actual living quarters.
The LD Series is
not to be installed indoors
in traditional living areas of a home. All residential heaters
must vent the products-of-combustion out-of-doors. Residential
installations may include:
| |
Home Workshops |
Swimming Pools |
| Outdoor Patios |
Residential Garages |
| Solariums |

Overall System
Features
Two-stage flexibility incorporated in the RE-VERBER-RAY LD SERIES
ensures maximum comfort and efficiency through a "calculated input
differential" - the difference between "high-fire" and "low-fire"
levels of operation. The overall design efficiency provides greater
flexibility in new and retrofit applications through modular construction
which allows radiant tube configurations accommodating 45, 90
or 180 degree elbows. Optional outside combustion air allows combustion
air and heater controls to be isolated from adverse conditions.
The RE-VERBER-RAY LD SERIES is approved by the Canadian Gas Association
(CGA) for vented or unvented use.
Exchanger Features
The combustion chamber tube and radiant tubes are manufactured
from three inch (7.6 cm) diameter 16 gauge titanium alloyed aluminized
steel and 16 gauge aluminized Type 1 respectively for corrosion
resistance and exceed the ML 500 hour salt spray test. The exchanger
coupling system utilizes a "slip fit" system, as well as a three
inch (7.6 cm) band clamp for added security and a continuous linear
appearance. The exterior coating of the exchanger on the RE-VERBER-RAY
LD SERIES is specially blended for maximum emissivity, corrosion
resistance and architectural appeal. The final component in the
system is the exclusive "Opti-Thermal" stainless steel
positive pressure turbulator baffle, designed to maximize heat
transfer and minimize exhaust loss.
Engineered Reflector
Design
Fully adjustable polished aluminum parabolic reflectors complete
with end caps can be installed at angles from 0 to 45 degrees
directing heat only where required with the RE-VERBER-RAY LD SERIES.
The integrated hanging system includes state-of -the-art hangers
and a unique reflector tension spring that prevents reflector
vibration - all easily installed without tools.
Control Box Features
Staging indicator lights mean continuous monitoring of the RE-VERBER-RAY
LD SERIES for optimal energy savings. The fixed metering orifice
provides maximum combustion efficiency from factory preset parameters.
Dual safety pressure switches continuously monitor burner operation
and the proven globar ignition system assures ignition under adverse
conditions. The burner sight glass allows the globar operation
to be monitored easily from the floor.
The state-of-the-art MICRO 6OU-24 used in the RE-VERBER-RAY LD
SERIES is a self-diagnostic microprocessor based control that
incorporates pre and post purge firing as well as "hard" and "soft"
lockout. "Hard lockout" for complete 100 percent heater shutdown
of the burner and fan which can only be restarted by resetting
the thermostat and "soft lockout" which facilitates an automatic
30 minute restart if the heater goes out because of environmental
conditions (i.e. winds that exceed 40 miles (66 km) per hour.)
