|
Prime Duty: Hydronic heating systems, apartments, office buildings, small
commercial/industrial buildings.
Comments: • Economic where high hydrostatic pressure over 30# WWP are required.
• Boiler not affected by thermal shock, however is subject to flue gas
condensation caused by low inlet and/or operating temperatures.
• Atmospheric firing. Pressure fired not true forced draft.
• Large refractory surfaces not water-backed cause “hot spots.”
• Heavy insulation of jackets required.
• Cannot be used for process steam due to low water content.
• Medium cost/low longevity.
