The Low Emission feature combines the packaging of induced flue gas recirculation with the Cleaver-Brooks integralfront head The front head routes the flue gases from the fourth pass to the fan and burner assembly for reliable low

NOx performance The enhanced burner design assures maximum NOx reduction at all firing rates while maintaining

top of the line boiler performance

Standard Low Emission Options include 60 30 25 or 20 ppm packages (all NOx emission levels are given on a dry

volume basis and corrected to 3 O2)

bull NOx performance for 60 ppm (natural gas corrected to 3 O2) uses a standard size combustion air fan for

induced flue gas recirculation

bull NOx performance for 30 25 or 20 ppm (natural gas corrected to 3 O2) includes a larger combustion air fan

motor assembly and a larger internal NOx reduction system

Cleaver-Brooks commitment to lowering emissions is based on more than 400 low NOx installations - all passing guar-

anteed emission performance levels

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

Emissions The emission data included in this section consists of typical emission levels forModel CB boilers equipped with 60 30 25 and 20 ppm LE Options when firingnatural gas and No 2 oil

Notice

The data in Table A1-18 and Table A1-19 represent typical emission levels only

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

1 Shortest boiler room length (Dwg A) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement (from front or rearof boiler) through a window or doorway Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at each end of the boilerThis arrangement provides sufficient aisle space at the front of the boiler but a ldquotightrdquo space condition at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

2 Next shortest boiler room length (Dwg B) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from thefront of the boiler Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

3 A slightly longer boiler room (Dwg C) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from the rear ofthe boiler Allowance for door swing at the front provides sufficient aisle and working space at the front

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Notice

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

1 Shortest boiler room length (Dwg A) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement (from front or rearof boiler) through a window or doorway Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at each end of the boilerThis arrangement provides sufficient aisle space at the front of the boiler but a ldquotightrdquo space condition at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

2 Next shortest boiler room length (Dwg B) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from thefront of the boiler Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

3 A slightly longer boiler room (Dwg C) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from the rear ofthe boiler Allowance for door swing at the front provides sufficient aisle and working space at the front

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

Emissions The emission data included in this section consists of typical emission levels forModel CB boilers equipped with 60 30 25 and 20 ppm LE Options when firingnatural gas and No 2 oil

Notice

The data in Table A1-18 and Table A1-19 represent typical emission levels only

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

1 Shortest boiler room length (Dwg A) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement (from front or rearof boiler) through a window or doorway Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at each end of the boilerThis arrangement provides sufficient aisle space at the front of the boiler but a ldquotightrdquo space condition at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

2 Next shortest boiler room length (Dwg B) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from thefront of the boiler Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

3 A slightly longer boiler room (Dwg C) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from the rear ofthe boiler Allowance for door swing at the front provides sufficient aisle and working space at the front

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

1 Shortest boiler room length (Dwg A) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement (from front or rearof boiler) through a window or doorway Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at each end of the boilerThis arrangement provides sufficient aisle space at the front of the boiler but a ldquotightrdquo space condition at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

2 Next shortest boiler room length (Dwg B) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from thefront of the boiler Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

Emissions The emission data included in this section consists of typical emission levels forModel CB boilers equipped with 60 30 25 and 20 ppm LE Options when firingnatural gas and No 2 oil

Notice

The data in Table A1-18 and Table A1-19 represent typical emission levels only

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

1 Shortest boiler room length (Dwg A) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement (from front or rearof boiler) through a window or doorway Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at each end of the boilerThis arrangement provides sufficient aisle space at the front of the boiler but a ldquotightrdquo space condition at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

2 Next shortest boiler room length (Dwg B) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from thefront of the boiler Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

3 A slightly longer boiler room (Dwg C) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from the rear ofthe boiler Allowance for door swing at the front provides sufficient aisle and working space at the front

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

1 Shortest boiler room length (Dwg A) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement (from front or rearof boiler) through a window or doorway Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at each end of the boilerThis arrangement provides sufficient aisle space at the front of the boiler but a ldquotightrdquo space condition at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

2 Next shortest boiler room length (Dwg B) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from thefront of the boiler Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

3 A slightly longer boiler room (Dwg C) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from the rear ofthe boiler Allowance for door swing at the front provides sufficient aisle and working space at the front

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Notice

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Notice

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

Emissions The emission data included in this section consists of typical emission levels forModel CB boilers equipped with 60 30 25 and 20 ppm LE Options when firingnatural gas and No 2 oil

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Low Emission Option provides NOx reduction at current published andpredicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies

Specifying BoilerEfficiency

Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler efficiency guaranteefor Model CB-LE Firetube Boilers The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam

efficiencies shown in the efficiency tables and the following conditions Theefficiency percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of theefficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brookspublication CB-7768 for a detailed description of efficiency calculations)

When specifying the efficiencies in the tables be sure to include the specificguarantee conditions to maximize the effectiveness of your efficiency specification Ifyou have any questions regarding the efficiency specifications please contact yourlocal Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative

EfficiencySpecification

The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that at the time of startup the boiler willachieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as shown in Table A1-16 and Table A1-17) at100 firing rate (add efficiency guarantees at 25 50 and 75 of rating if

required) If the boiler(s) fail to achieve the corresponding guaranteed efficiency aspublished the boiler manufacturer will rebate to the ultimate boiler owner tenthousand dollars ($10000) for every full efficiency point (10) that the actualefficiency is below the guaranteed level

The specified boiler efficiency is based on the following conditions

1 Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency

bull Natural Gas

Carbon (wt) = 6998Hydrogen (wt) = 2231Sulfur (wt) = 00

Heating value Btulb = 21830bull No 2 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 858Hydrogen (wt) = 127Sulfur (wt) = 02Heating value Btulb = 19420

No 6 Oil

Carbon (wt) = 866Hydrogen (wt) = 109Sulfur (wt) = 209Heating value Btulb = 18830

2 Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 degF relative humidity of30 and 15 excess air in the exhaust flue gas

3 Efficiencies are based on manufacturerrsquos published radiation and convectionlosses (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses see BoilerEfficiency Facts Guide publication number CB-7767)

4 Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack loss method

For efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not listed followthese procedures

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125 psig interpolatethe values from the efficiency tables

When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig estimated efficiency can becalculated as follows

Example

Boiler 350 hpFuel natural gas

Operating steam pressure 200 psig

Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100 firing rate From Table A1-16 for a 350hp boiler operating at 100 firing rate and an operating steam pressure of 125psig the efficiency is 825

Using Figure A1-12 note that the stack temperature increases 36 degF at the higheroperating pressure To estimate boiler efficiency use this rule of thumb For every40 degF increase in stack temperature efficiency decreases by 1 Since the stacktemperature rise is 36 degF the decrease in the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operatingpressure is calculated as follows 3640 =9 Therefore the boiler efficiency at200 psig operating pressure is 825 -9 = 816

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

ENGINEERING DATA

Sound Level Table A1-20 gives a summary of predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBboilers with 30 ppm LE Options Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorizedrepresentative for sound levels or other LE Options

Units - The units for the sound level tables are dbA (decibels measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 00002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square

meter) Their reference are standardly used in specifying and reporting soundpressure levels on industrial equipment

Test Method - The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained fromtests in accordance with the ldquoABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound fromPackaged Boilersrdquo In accordance with this code the sound pressure levels reportedwere measured on the boiler centerline 4-12 feet vertically above the bottom of thebase rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or frontsurface of the electrical cabinet

Sound Level Meter - The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S14 Type 1(Precision) The readings are taken with the meter set for slow response andcorrected for background levels

Sound Pressure - The large size boilers the need for auxiliary equipment and thenecessary interconnecting piping make it impractical (and sometimes impossible) toprovide a boiler testing environment which is suitable for taking the data needed todevelop Sound Pressure Power levels

Typical Values - Sound pressure levels (dbA) for the same boiler will vary betweenboiler rooms Sound levels will vary with motor type NOx levels and altitudes Inaddition variations will occur between different people using different sound meterson the same boiler And finally no two boilers can be expected to give precisely thesame sound levels For these reasons we can only predict but not guarantee soundlevels (dbA)

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

Stack SupportCapabilities

All standard Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers with an LE option can support up to2000 lbs without additional support

LE Boilers 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3000 lbs

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

7262019 CBLE Boiler Book

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullcble-boiler-book 3443

Model CBLE 125-800 HP Boilers

34

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

Consult local codes which may supersede these requirements

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter

StackBreechingSize Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boilerflue gas outlet Proper draft is critical to burner performance

Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model CB-LE is not requiredit is necessary to size the stackbreeching to limit flue gas pressure variation Theallowable pressure range is ndash025 WC to +025 WC

For additional information please review Section I4 General Engineering Data(Stacks) and Section F Stacks Stack and breeching sizes should always be providedby a reputable stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system basedon the above criteria Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capableof assisting in your evaluation of the stackbreeching design

Boiler RoomCombustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements the size of the room air flow andvelocity of air must be reviewed as follows

1 Size (area) and location of air supply openings in boiler room

A Two (2) permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room

are recommended Locate (1) at each end of the boiler room preferablybelow a height of 7 feet This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection but they shouldnot be covered with fine mesh wire as this type of covering has poor air flowqualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt

C A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slightvacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity ofcombustion air This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

1 Shortest boiler room length (Dwg A) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement (from front or rearof boiler) through a window or doorway Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at each end of the boilerThis arrangement provides sufficient aisle space at the front of the boiler but a ldquotightrdquo space condition at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

2 Next shortest boiler room length (Dwg B) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from thefront of the boiler Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at the rear

If space permits approximately 15 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and workingspace

3 A slightly longer boiler room (Dwg C) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from the rear ofthe boiler Allowance for door swing at the front provides sufficient aisle and working space at the front

D Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be lessthan (1) square foot

E Size the openings by using the formulaArea (sq-ft) = CFMFPM

2 Amount of air required (cfm)

A Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfmbhp

B Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfmbhp

C Total recommended air = 10 cfmbhp - up to 1000 feet elevation Add 3percent more per 1000 feet of added elevation

3 Acceptable air velocity in Boiler Room (fpm)

A From floor to (7) foot height - 250 fpm

B Above (7) foot height - 500 fpm

Example Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 300 hpboiler at 800 feet altitude The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level

bull Air required 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above)

bull Air velocity Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above)

bull Area Required Area = cfm = 3000250 = 12 sq-ft total

bull AreaOpening 122 = 6 sq-ftopening (2 required)

This figure illustrates the basic gas valve arrangement on Cleaver-BrooksModel CB boiler and shows the contractors connection point The valves andcontrols between the contractor connection point and the gas main in thestreet are representative of a typical installation Actual requirements mayvary depending on local codes or local gas company requirements which

should be investigated prior to preparation of specifications and prior to con-struction

A Utilities service valveB Utilities service regulatorC Gas meterD Piping from meter to boiler

The size of the gas line from the meter to the gas pressure regulator at theboiler can be very important if gas pressures are marginal The gas line sizingis dependent on

1 Gas pressure at outlet of gas meter (C)2 Rate of gas flow required CFH3 Length of pipe run (D)4 Pressure required at contractor connection point

The local gas utility will advise the pressure that is available at the outlet oftheir meter
