If you have considered a supplementary home heater but didn't want the mess of ashes in your home, the hazard of a red
hot furnace in your living space or the cost of flues and fireproofing in your ceiling and roof, the Bryan Furnace
is the answer to your problem.
The Bryan Furnace is similar to a window air conditioner; it conditions air outside the house
and then blows it into the home through a window-mounted duct or into your duct-work.
With the Bryan Furnace, there is no modification to your home. Combustion is contained in a
fireproof unit outside the home. There can be no accidental contact with the furnace. All ashes and fumes are outside the
home. All that enters your living space is clean, warm air.
The Bryan Furnace takes up to 30" logs and will burn 8 to 12 hours with one fueling. The Residential
Model 350 produces up to 90,000 BTU's and the Commercial Model 300 produces up to 130,000 BTU's.
OPERATION
The Bryan Furnace is an airtight wood burning furnace located inside a well insulated sheet
metal shelter. Air is drawn out of the house into the shelter, warmed by the heater, and blown back into the house by a
fan. The shelter and firebox are sealed from each other so that only the clean, warmed air can enter the house.
The fan turns on automatically when there is warm air in the chamber and turns off when the fire dies down, to prevent
re-circulating cold air. The fire is also automatically controlled by an intake damper thermostat located on the door that
is adjustable to control burn rate and air temperature coming into the house.
CONSTRUCTION
The combustion chamber of the Bryan Furnace is continuous welded 1/4" and 10 gauge
steel, with cast iron and firebrick protection at all the hot spots to provide a lifetime of service. All sheet metal parts
are galvanized steel or stainless steel on selected models.
Efficiency
The Bryan Furnace is an airtight solid fuel furnace with internal baffling
for maximum burn efficiency. Since the Bryan Furnace uses outside air for combustion and does not
pull heated air out of the house to go up the flue, overall efficiency is higher than an indoor solid fuel heater.
Warranty
A limited one year warranty is provided on the basic furnace and electrical components. A five year warranty
is provided on the combustion chamber.
