Webster Boiler Burners Reduce Energy Costs for Educational Facilities
In new applications and retrofits alike, specifying engineers and mechanical consultants specializing in school and university facilities are constantly looking to drive down costs by improving energy efficiency for their clients’ steam boilers. Schools have limited budgets and need to maximize their investment whenever they can to lower their operating costs.
Webster’s JBE(X) boiler burner is a high efficiency, low excess air burner that incorporates a unique high swirl firing head to achieve boiler horsepower ratings in the 200 to 1,750 HP range using less fuel and electricity than conventional burners.
The JBE(X)’s lower horsepower blower motor can result in significant total energy savings depending on the burner size and operating conditions.
Webster combined their unique high swirl firing head technology with a more efficient in-line combustion air fan to provide superior mixing of the fuel and air, and lower motor horsepower requirements. This combination allows the JBE series burners to operate with low excess air across a large operating range. Less excess air means high fuel efficiency, and high efficiency combined with high turndown means very low heat loss in your boiler that can result from cycling when a burner is stopping and starting. The end result is that the new Webster JBE will provide fast payback and the best possible return on your burner investment.
The JBE(X) is available for Scotch-Marine, firetube, watertube, flextube, firebox, and other heaters and vessel types.
When combined with Webster’s patented Temp-A-Trim™, the JBE(X) burner will maintain even lower excess air levels as operating conditions change, saving fuel and electricity and lowering maintenance costs. Webster’s exclusive Temp-A-Trim auto air density trim system can be retrofitted on an existing burner of any brand to immediately save up to 3% of fuel and 30% on electricity costs. Temp-A-Trim senses combustion air temperature and automatically varies the fan speed to create a constant air flow mass for combustion. By maintaining optimum fuel/air ratios, you are assured that your burner is operating at maximum efficiency. It also reduces emissions by virtue of reduced fuel consumption.
