GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Dynatherm™ FP Series Boiler is a high quality
fabricated steel & cast iron boiler of the Scotch
Marine Design, long recognized as the most
efficient boiler design in its size category. It will
provide years of economical heat and domestic
hot water when properly installed and cared for.
Therefore, it is important that these instructions
be followed carefully.
The Dynatherm™ boiler comes with an insulated
jacket and a burner package. Each burner
package includes the following items:
1) Burner
2) Air Tube/Flange/Gasket
3) Nozzle
4) Harness Assembly
5) Temperature/Pressure Gauge
6) Pressure Relief Valve
7) Aquastat
8) Smoke/Flue Cap
9) Bolts/Nuts/Hardware
10) Manufacturer’s Warranty Package
Dynatherm™ boilers are shipped skidded or can
be picked up directly un-skidded. The burner
package and jacket are boxed separately. Upon
receiving your items, all packages/items should be
inspected for signs of damage. If shipped, any
damage should be noted on the carrier’s waybill.
Keep all damaged packages/items and request an
inspection by the carrier. It’s the responsibility of
the consignee to file any claims with the
delivering carrier for any damaged items received.
Claims must be submitted within five (5) days
after receipt. No claims will be accepted after this
five (5) day period.
BOILER DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Dynatherm™ is America's only residential steel
and cast iron belly flue, three pass Scotch Marine
boiler. It’s designed to force hot gases through
the boiler in three passes while maintaining the
highest efficiency ratings.
The first pass drives the hot gases of combustion,
which are produced by the burner at the front
head, through the combustion tube into the end
head, which houses our exclusive scroll. As the
gases enter the end head, they’re separated into
the 13 curls of the scroll and
spun at a greatly increased
velocity into the 13 fire
tubes that surround the
combustion tube. The scroll
is designed to reverse the
spin of the whirling gases
from clockwise to
counterclockwise, which slows the
gases down by 2-1/2 –3 times. This allows the
heat to remain inside the boiler much longer.
The second pass forces the swirling gases through
the 13 fire tubes in a slow counterclockwise
motion, causing a scrubbing action. This causes a
dual effect. First, the gases travel through the fire
tubes in a curling pattern, which causes the heat
to be retained inside the fire tubes 2-1/2 –3
times longer. Due to the longer retention, this
gives the gases a longer period of time to transfer
the heat (BTU’s) through the fire tubes into the
surrounding water inside the boiler shell. Second,
the action caused by these gases creates a
scrubbing effect which greatly enhances the
efficiency of heat transfer from the gases into the
fire tube walls.
The third pass creates the gases third rotation as
they enter the front head. Heat naturally tries to
rise, so our boiler is designed to force all the heat
downward into the third pass chamber (belly
pan). This process allows the most efficient
transfer of heated gases into the belly pan.
This three pass Scotch Marine design utilizes all
the BTU’s that are input through direct contact of
gases to the heating surfaces, allowing the
maximum available heat to transfer into the
boiler water. As a result of this process, the
Dynatherm™ boiler has a proven efficiency rating
up to 90.9% with low stack temperatures ranging
from 240°F to 370°F.
