Highlights

  • WETBACK for low maintenance, long life and maximum efficiency
  • Liberal dimensions; durable, proven three-pass firetube arrangement
  • Flexible firing rate and output
  • Undesirable, throw-away, non-repairable construction is avoided (as seen on some watertube and exotic boiler designs)
  • “Off the shelf” components resulting in lower parts cost
  • Minimal Service costs
  • Heavy-duty, first-class materials
  • Renowned for a long life, up to 30 years or more
  • Equipped with premium, packaged FORCED DRAFT burners; factory test-fired
  • Extra handholes are provided, in a superior location, in the front tube sheet below the furnace
  • Thoughtfully engineered; enhanced by our extensive design experience
  • Excellent overall plant efficiency (83% plus combustion efficiency on natural gas, 85% plus on No. 2 oil)
  • Skillfully crafted to high standards
  • Ample steam space/release surface
  • Doors open without removal of burner components or fuel and power lines
  • Large 5/8″ BOLTS are used on all doors; fewer are required; opening/closing is faster; easily damaged studs are avoided

Premium Performance

The furnaces of APEX Series boilers are of large diameter and ample length. This, along with the full water-cooled rear chamber, ensures that the furnace absorbs much more heat, maximizing efficiency and minimizing pollutants, while allowing tubesheets to have a cooler, longer life.
