THOMASVILLE, Georgia — Cleaver-Brooks announces that its ProFire SBR-30 Series Burner was named a winner in the 2021 Commercial Comfort Products of the Year contest on Aug. 5. Selected by a panel of independent consulting/specifying engineers, the burner series topped the Heating Equipment category. The machine is manufactured at the Monroe location, one of eight in North America.
The ProFire SBR-30 low-NOx, dual-fuel burner is capable of less than 30 ppm NOx emissions without flue gas recirculation (FGR). It features a unique firing head design to achieve controlled combustion, leading to low emissions with 3% O2. Advanced technology allows the SBR-30 to offer low-NOx, low CO emissions and up to 10:1 turndown on natural gas.
“A number of benefits are created by the removal of FGR,” said Kevin Pheney, Cleaver-Brooks vice president of burner systems. “Eliminating the need for FGR in high-stack-temperature steam boilers will reduce energy efficiency by 0.5-1.5%, extending the turndown and minimizing on-off cycling. In addition to being massive and space consuming, FGR pipes generate extensive energy loss in the boiler room. All of this can be eliminated by using the SBR-30 non-FGR solution.”
The burner provides silent operation with an advanced combustion air fan wheel that uses less horsepower with less noise. It is reliable and energy efficient and features the lowest NOx emissions and low excess air operation for high efficiency. If application condition is satisfied, it can be operated with 15% excess air across the operating range when firing natural gas, using less fuel per BTU and less KWH per BTU.
The SBR-30 is suitable for use with a variety of boiler types including firetube, flextube and industrial watertube boilers, as well as thermal oil heaters utilized in process steam, industrial process, waste heat recovery, hospital and healthcare, laundry and dry cleaning, and refinery and petrochemical applications.
