PERFORMANCE DATA
4. Any efficiency verification testing will be based on the stack

loss method.
Efficiency
When specifying the efficiencies in the tables, be sure to

include the specific guarantee conditions to maximize the
effectiveness of your efficiency specification. If you have any
questions regarding the efficiency specifications, please contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative. For
efficiencies and stack temperatures at operating pressures not
listed, follow these procedures:
Tables A2-7, A2-8, A2-9, A2-10, A2-11, and A2-12 show predicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies (including radiation and convection losses) for Cleaver-Brooks Model CB Firetube boilers.
For specific efficiencies on firetube boiler offerings not listed
here, contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative.
Cleaver-Brooks offers an industry leading fuel-to-steam boiler
efficiency guarantee for Model CB Firetube Boilers. The guarantee is based on the fuel-to-steam efficiencies shown in the
efficiency tables and the following conditions. The efficiency
percent number is only meaningful if the specific conditions of
the efficiency calculations are clearly stated in the specification (see Cleaver-Brooks publication CB-7768 for a detailed
description of efficiency calculations).
The boiler manufacturer shall guarantee that, at the time of
startup, the boiler will achieve fuel-to-steam efficiency (as
shown in the tables listed above) at 100% 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 as published, the boiler manufacturer
will rebate, to the ultimate boiler owner, five thousand dollars
($5,000) for every full efficiency point (1.0%) that the actual
efficiency is below the guaranteed level. The specified boiler
efficiency is based on the following conditions.
1. Fuel specification used to determine boiler efficiency:
Natural Gas
Carbon, % (wt) = 69.98
Hydrogen, % (wt) = 22.31
Sulfur, % (wt) = 0.0
Heating value, Btu/lb = 21,830
No. 2 Oil
Carbon, % (wt) = 85.8
No. 6 Oil
Carbon, % (wt) = 86.6
Sulfur, % (wt) = 2.09
2. Efficiencies are based on ambient air temperature of 80 F,
relative humidity of 30%, and 15% excess air in the exhaust
flue gas.
3. Efficiencies are based on manufacturers published radiation
and convection losses. (For Cleaver-Brooks radiation and convection losses, see Boiler Efficiency Facts Guide, publication
number CB-7767).
When the operating steam pressure is between 10 psig and 125

psig, interpolate the values from the efficiency tables.
When the operating steam pressure is above 125 psig, estimated efficiency can be calculated as follows:
Example:
Boiler: 350 hp.
Fuel: natural gas.
Operating steam pressure: 200 psig.
Find the fuel-to-steam efficiency at 100% firing rate. From
Table A2-8 for a 350 hp boiler operating at 100% firing rate
and an operating steam pressure of 125 psig, the efficiency is
82.5%.
Using Figure A2-8, note that the stack temperature increases
36 F at the higher operating pressure. To estimate boiler efficiency, use this rule of thumb: For every 40 F increase in stack
temperature, efficiency decreases by 1%. Since the stack temperature rise is 36 F, the decrease in the boiler efficiency at
200 psig operating pressure is calculated as follows: 36/40 =
.9%. Therefore, the boiler efficiency at 200 psig operating
pressure is 82.5 - .9 = 81.6%.
Emissions
The emission data included in this section consists of typical
uncontrolled emission levels for Cleaver-Brooks Model CB
Firetube Boilers.
Cleaver-Brooks Firetube boilers are available with the standard
burner package for Model CB, or optional internal flue gas
recirculation on Model CB (LE) (refer to Section A3).
The Cleaver-Brooks IFGR packages are integrated boiler/
burner/control packages designed specifically for CleaverBrooks boilers. For detailed information on Cleaver-Brooks
IFGR packages, refer to Model CB (LE) in Section A3.
NOTICE
The data in Table A2-13 represents typical emission
levels only. Guaranteed emission levels are available
from your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative.

Sound Level
Table A2-20 summarizes predicted sound pressure levels for
Model CB Boilers. Tables A2-21 through A2-25 give detailed
octave band sound pressure levels for each boiler. These values
are based on standard motors. Optional motor types and altitude condistions can increse sound levels.
Units
The units for the sound level tables are dBA (decibels, measured on the A-weighted scale) in reference to 0.0002
microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square meter). They are
standardly referenced in specifying and reporting sound pressure levels on industrial equipment.
Test Method
600
280
700-750
325
The sound pressure levels in the above tables were obtained

from tests in accordance with the "ABMA Test Code for the
Measurement of Sound from Packages Boilers." In accordance
with this code, the sound pressure levels reported were measured on the boiler centerline 4-1/2 feet vertically above the
bottom of the base rails and 3 feet horizontally in front of the
end of the blower motor or front surface of the electrical cabinet.
800
325
Sound Level Meter
NOTE: Quantity of water removed from boiler by lowering normal water line 4".
The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S1.4, Type 1
(Precision). The readings are taken with the meter set for slow
response.

Sound Pressure
On large size boilers, the need for auxiliary equipment, and the
necessary interconnecting piping, make it impractical (and
sometimes impossible) to provide a boiler testing environment
that is suitable for obtaining the data needed to develop Sound
Pressure Power levels.
Typical Values
Sound pressure levels (dBA) for identical boilers will vary
between boiler rooms. In addition, variations will occur
between different people using different sound meters on the
same boiler. And finally, no two boilers can be expected to
give precisely the same sound levels. For these reasons, we can
only predict, but not guarantee, sound levels (dBA).
Octave Band
When predicting sound pressures in octave bands (e.g., dB at
125 Hz), even greater variations between boilers, between
sound meters, and between operators can be expected. These
larger variations in the low and high frequencies make octave
band levels a less reliable method of reporting than A-scale
A2-30
sound levels. (Since A-scale sound levels are dominated by

mid-frequency sounds, the A-scale sound levels between two
boilers can be in reasonable agreement even though the low
and high frequencies of octave band measurement do not
closely correspond).
Gas-Fired Burners
NOTICE
A gas pressure regulator must be installed in the gas
piping to each boiler. Gas pressure regulators for
Model CB Firetube Boilers are sized and selected on
a job-by-job basis. Therefore, gas pressure requirements shown in Tables A2-26, A2-27, A2-28, A2-29,
and A2-30 list "regulated" gas pressure. Regulated
gas pressure is the pressure downstream of the gas
pressure regulator. Total gas pressure required for
the boiler equals regulated gas pressure plus the
pressure drop of the selected gas pressure regulator.

NOTES:
1.These gas pressure requirements effective on all boilers shipped after

2. BHP followed by A designates hot water boiler furnished in a smaller
vessel size with additional tubes in the upper portion of the vessel.
3. Pressures shown also apply to standard and FM gas trains for Canada.
A. Based on 1000 Btu/cu-ft natural gas and elevation up to 700 feet.
B. HTB is for high turndown (10:1) burners.
Capacity: The capacity can be determined by multiplying the

maximum burning rate (CFH) by 1.15, see Table A2-31. This
15 percent over-capacity rating of the regulator provides for
proper regulation.
Spring Adjustment: The spring should be suitable for a range
of adjustment from 50 percent under the desired regulated
pressure to 50 percent over.
Sharp Lock-Up: The regulator should include this feature to
prevent the downstream pressure (between the regulator and
the boiler) from climbing when there is no gas flow.
The following items should be considered when selecting a

regulator:
Regulators in Parallel: This type of installation can be used

if the required gas volume is very large and if the pressure
drop must be kept to a minimum.
Pressure Rating: The regulator must have a pressure rating at

least equivalent to that of the gas distribution system.
Regulators in Series: This type of installation can be used if

the available gas pressure is over 5, 10, or 20 psig.

NOTES:
1.Pipe size in inches, and pressure required in inches of WC.
2. Models followed by A designtes hot water boilers furnished in a smaller vessel size with additional tubes in upper portion of vessel.
3. Pressure requirement is downstream of gas pressure regulator.
A. Low pressure drop Maxon valves (replaces 6" trains).

B. Standard gas train shown by shaded area.
C. Charts for 250 - 800 hp are for high turndown burners.
Depending on the regulator characteristics, one regulator

would reduce the pressure to 2 to 3 psig, and a second
regulator would reduce the pressure to the burner
requirements.
Gas pressure regulator slection for high turndown (10:1)

burners is critical at minimum flow rates. Contact your local
Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative for proper
selection.
Regulator Location: A straight run of gas line piping should

be used on both sides of the regulator to ensure proper
regulator operation. This is particularly important when
pilot-operated regulators are used. The regulator can be
located close to the gas train connection, but 2 to 3 feet of
straight run piping should be used on the upstream side of
the regulator.
Table A2-31 shows maximum gas consumption for natural gas

and propane vapor.
When oxygen trim is used, the regulator selection must be

consistent with details shown in Section D.
Figure A2-11 shows gas train components.

for the particular oil at this pumping temperature can be determined.

It is recommended to provide for tank and/or line heating on all
No. 6 oil installations to ensure against high viscosities at
decreased pumping temperatures. The following are two common methods:
Figure A2-13 shows the oil connection sizes and locations for
Model CB Boilers firing No. 5 and No. 6 oil.
1.
Provide a tank suction heater and bundling the steam or

water lines to the heater with the oil lines.
Figures A2-14 through A2-21 show typical oil systems and

layouts.
2.
Provide electric heating equipment on the oil lines and/or

in the storage tank.
Figure A2-22 shows the detail of an oil transfer tank (day tank)
typically utilized to provide a storage reservoir between the oil
system supply pump and the boiler oil pump.
No. 6 Oil Piping, Storage Tank Heating

If the oil viscosity exceeds 4,000 SSU at the pumping temperature, tank preheating is required.
Based on the climate conditions for the job location, the minimum pumping temperature can be predicted, and the viscosity
A2-36
NOTICE
The temperature in the oil suction line should not exceed 130 F as higher temperatures could cause vapor binding of the oil pump and decreased oil flow.
See Figures A2-23 and A2-24 for an example of (No. 1 above)
tank heating method.
See Figure A2-25 for examples of preheating systems.

Note 1: The outer jacket of the four line bundle

should be protected by a waterproof covering to
protect the lines and insulation from moisture
damage. Tar paper and hot asphalt sealer have
been successfully used as a waterproof covering.
Note 2: When the bundle runs under driveways
or other traffic areas, a heavy duty outer jacket
of reinforced concrete, vitrified tile, or corrugated
steel is recommended.
Figure A2-24. Typical Cross Section of Bundled Lines
In order to properly preheat No. 6 oil, the minimum recommended boiler water temperature is 200 F. Some No. 6 oils must be preheated up
to 210 F, and higher boiler water temperatures are then desirable.
Although lower boiler water temperatures can be used, this condition means that the electric preheater will be doing more of the work. It is more
economical to use higher temperature boiler water for preheating than to use lower temperature water which increases the electric preheating
load.
To ensure the most trouble-free, dependable preheating system, a boiler water-to-water-to-oil preheating system is furnished as standard equipment and is mounted, piped and wired on the boiler. This safety type system or double heat exchanger eliminates the possibility of an oil leak
fouling the boiler, oil heater, piping, control valves, and circulating pumps. Insurance companies recognize this as the best system for the application.
The standard system does not have provisions for a hot water line to a storage tank heater.

Boiler Room Information
C. A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended, as it

could create a slight vacuum under certain conditions
and cause variations in the quantity of combustion air.
This can result in unsatisfactory burner performance.
Figure A2-26 shows typical boiler room length requirements.

Figure A2-27 shows typical boiler room width requirements.
Figure A2-28 shows typical breeching arrangements.
D. Under no condition should the total area of the air supply

openings be less than (1) square foot.
Stack Support Capabilities
E. Size the openings by using the formula:
Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Boilers 15 hp through 100 hp can

support up to 1,000 lbs without additional support. Firetube
boilers 125 hp through 800 hp can support up to 2,000 lbs
without additional support.
Area (sq-ft) = cfm/fpm

2.
A. Combustion Air = Rated bhp x 8 cfm/bhp.
Firetube sizes 250 hp through 800 hp can be reinforced to support 3,000 lbs.
B. Ventilation Air = Maximum bhp x 2 cfm/bhp

C. Total recommended air, 10 cfm/bhp - up to 1000 feet
elevation. Add 3 percent more per 1000 feet of added
elevation.
Stack/Breeching Size Criteria

The design of the stack and breeching must provide the
required draft at each boiler flue gas outlet. Proper draft is critical to burner performance.
Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet of the Model
CB is not required, it is necessary to size the stack/breeching
to limit flue gas pressure variation. For boiler sizes 50 800
horsepower, the allowable pressure range is 0.5" W.C. to
+0.5" W.C. The maximum pressure variation at any firing rate
for the boiler is 0.5" W.C. For boiler sizes 15 40 horsepower,
the allowable pressure range is 0.25" W.C. to +0.25" W.C.
For additional information, please review Section I4, General
Engineering Data (Stacks) and Section F, Stacks. Stack and
breeching sizes should always be provided by a reputable
stack supplier who will design the stack and breeching system
based on the above criteria. Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative is capable of assisting in your evaluation
of the stack/breeching design.
Boiler Room Combustion Air

When determining boiler room air requirements, the size of
the room, air flow, and velocity 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 one
at each end of the boiler room, preferably below 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 should not be covered with fine
mesh wire, as this type of covering has poor air flow
qualities and is subject to clogging by dust or dirt.
A2-44
Amount of air required (cfm).
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 hp boiler at 800 feet altitude. The air
openings are to be 5 feet above floor level.
Air required: 300 x 10 = 3000 cfm (from 2B above).
Air velocity: Up to 7 feet = 250 fpm (from 3 above).
Area Required: Area = cfm = 3000/250 = 12 Sq-ft total.
Area/Opening: 12/2 = 6 sq-ft/opening (2 required).
NOTICE
Consult local codes, which may supersede these requirements.

1. Shortest boiler room length (Dwg A) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement (from front or rear of boiler) through
a window or doorway. Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at each end of the boiler. This arrangement provides sufficient
aisle space at the front of the boiler but a "tight" space condition at the rear.
If space permits, approximately 1.5 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and working space.
2. Next shortest boiler room length (Dwg B) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from the front of the boiler.
Allowance is only made for minimum door swing at the rear.
If space permits, approximately 1.5 additional feet should be allowed at the rear for additional aisle and working space.
3. A slightly longer boiler room (Dwg C) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from the rear of the boiler. Allowance for door swing at the front provides sufficient aisle and working space at the front.
