Model CBLE Firetube Boiler - Waterback

Cleaver-Brooks Firetube Hydronic Boilers

The firetube boiler is the flagship of Cleaver-Brooks with an integrated boiler, low NOx burner and Hawk control that were designed and built with the latest innovations in technology for maximum efficiency and lowest emissions. Further reduce fuel usage with a stack economizer by recovering waste heat from the flue gases and using it to preheat boiler feedwater.

Model CBEX

The CBEX boiler uses advanced engineering, including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to optimize components like the burner, furnace, and tubes, ensuring balanced heat release and reduced thermal stress. Exclusive EX system tubes enhance heat transfer by 85%, achieving higher efficiency in a compact design. An optional stack economizer recovers flue gas heat to preheat feedwater, reducing fuel consumption. The LevelMaster low-water cutoff provides the safest pump control available.
