Energy efficiency, superior steam quality, time-saving and low maintenance are just some of the advantages offered by CFB Boilers’ flagship 4VT Steam Boiler, which is manufactured in the UK by the 120-year-old steam specialist.
Class-leading, the 4VT is the only boiler in its category with energy-saving four-pass technology. This means that combustion gasses pass generated heat over water heating surfaces four times to maximise the opportunity for heat transfer. The results are exceptional efficiency and low exit flue temperature.
Further energy savings are derived from the 4VT’s condensate line, which returns condensate back to the boiler feed water tank at a temperature of around 70-90oC. This integral heat recover function reduces the energy and time it requires to heat water, which consequently reduces cycle times and increases efficiency.
The 4VT boasts a steam chamber that is approximately 30 per cent larger than those of most other vertical steam boilers. It ensures that variable steam loads are met more efficiently, and produces drier steam since. As a result, boiler priming is virtually eliminated, the need for descaling is reduced, and boiler life is extended.
Offering an impressive start up time of just 10-15 minutes, the 4VT reaches full pressure faster than many similar boilers, maximising production hours.
Servicing the 4VT Steam Boiler is simple. For example, both the internal shell and flue ways can be easily inspected and cleaned around their complete circumference, while the central air inlet limits dust or moisture intake.
The 4VT Steam Boiler is available in 12 models from 128kg/hr (8hp) to 2,000kg/hr (130hp).
