MODEL CB OHIO SPECIAL BOILERS

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The Cleaver-Brooks Ohio Special Firetube boiler is designed, manufactured, and
packaged by Cleaver-Brooks specifically for operation in the state of Ohio, under the
rules and regulations for unattended units. The unique design of the Ohio Special
Boiler serves your steam needs and reduces unnecessary labor costs. All units are
factory fire tested and shipped as a package, ready for quick connection to utilities.
In addition to the features provided on all Cleaver-Brooks Firetube boilers, the
following features apply to the Ohio Specials.
Unique Dimple Tube Design:
Ensures high gas turbulence and increased efficiency without turbulators,
spinners, and other high maintenance devices.

Dimple tubes also reduce the film coefficient on the gas side to transfer more
heat, thus achieving greater output with less heating surface.

358 Square Feet of Heating Surface:

The greatest amount offered in any packaged boiler for unattended steam boiler
operation in Ohio - means long life and years of service at the high efficiencies.
Low Furnace Location:
Furnace located well below water level with generous clearance from bottom of
boiler, allowing proper circulation.

Low furnace provides additional safety margin between furnace and water level.

Reduces water carryover, producing drier steam.

Burner Information

The Ohio Special Firetube Boiler encompasses an integral front head that
includes the burner, combustion air fan, and controls as part of the boiler
package design.
The integral front head provides for burner/boiler design as a single unit
maximizing the compatibility between the boiler and burner.
Figure A8-6 shows secondary air flow in the Ohio Special Firetube Boiler.
The rotary air damper design provides standard turn down of 4:1.
Figure A8-7 shows a typical linkage assembly. The single point linkage
layout allows for easy adjustment and maximum repeatability of air/fuel
ratios. Included on all Ohio Special Boilers is an adjustable CAM assembly
shown in Figure A8-8.

To obtain minimum required gas pressure at altitudes above 700

feet, multiply the pressure by the listed factors:
Inches WC x 0.577 = oz/sq-in.
Oz/sq-in x 1.732 = Inches WC.
Inches WC x 0.0361= psig.
Oz/sq-in x 0.0625 = psig.
Psig x 27.71 = Inches WC.
Psig x 16.0 = Oz/sq-in.

Notice

A gas pressure regulator must be installed in the gas piping to each boiler. Gas
pressure regulators for Ohio Special Firetube Boilers are sized and selected on a
job-by-job basis. Therefore, gas pressure requirements shown in Tables A6-9, A610, A8-11, A8-12, and A8-13 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.

Table A8-9 shows regulated gas pressure requirements for Standard and FM gas
trains for CB Ohio Special Firetube Boilers.
Table A8-10 shows regulated gas pressure requirements for IRI Gas Trains for CB
Ohio Special Boilers.
Table A8-11 and A8-12 show regulated gas pressure with over and undersized gas
trains for CB Ohio Special Firetube Boilers.
Table A8-13 shows minimum required gas pressure altitude conversion.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The following items should be considered when selecting a regulator:

Pressure Rating: The regulator must have a pressure rating at least equivalent to
that of the gas distribution system.

Capacity: The capacity can be determined by multiplying the maximum burning

rate (CFH) by 1.15, see Table A6-14. 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.

A8-16
BBA8 03-05

Section A8

MODEL CB OHIO SPECIAL BOILERS

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.

Regulators in Series: This type of installation can be used if the available gas
pressure is over 5, 10, or 20 psig. 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.

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 A8-14 shows maximum gas consumption for natural gas and propane vapor.
Figure A8-9 shows typical gas train components, and Figure A8-10 shows typical
gas train piping layouts for multiple boiler applications.

Information

Figure A6-17 shows typical boiler room length requirements.

Stack Support Capabilities
100 hp Ohio Special Boilers can support up to 1,000 lbs without additional
support.
125-225 hp Ohio Special Boilers can support up to 2,000 lbs without additional
support.
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 (1) 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.

MODEL CB OHIO SPECIAL BOILERS

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.
D.Under no condition should the total area of the air supply openings be less than
(1) square foot.
E. Size the openings by using the formula:
Area (sq-ft) = cfm/fpm
2. Amount of air required (cfm).

A.Combustion air - rated bhp x 8 cfm/bhp.

B.Ventilation air - rated bhp x 2 cfm/bhp or a total of 10 cfm/bhp - up to 1000
feet elevation. Add 3 percent 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.
C.Duct from air supply to boiler - 1000 fpm.
Example: Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (1) 200 hp
boiler at 800 feet altitude. The air openings are to be 5 feet above floor level.

Air required: 200 x 10 = 2000 cfm (from 2B above).

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

Area Required: Area = cfm = 2000/250 = 8 Sq-ft total.

Area/Opening: 8/2 = 4 sq-ft/opening (2 required).

Notice

Consult local codes, which may supersede these requirements.

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 Ohio Special is not required,
it is necessary to size the stack/breeching to limit flue gas pressure variation. 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.

1. Shortest boiler room length (Dwg A) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement 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 for Model CB (Dwg C) is obtained by allowing for possible future tube replacement from the rear of the boiler.
