CHAPTER 1 Basics
1.1 — Overview
CBEX Elite boilers are available for steam or hot water (100-800 HP only) applications. Basic construction con-
sists of a cylindrical vessel with horizontal tubes passing through and connected to the front and rear tube
sheets. The vessel contains the water and absorbs the energy generated from the flame.
The flame originates in the furnace. As the combustion gases travel down the furnace and through the various
firetube channels, heat from the flame and combustion gases is transferred to the water.
Transferred energy develops into the required steam or hot water. The primary purpose of the boiler is to supply
energy to the facility’s operations — for heat, manufacturing processes, laundry, kitchen, etc. The nature of the
facility’s operation will dictate whether a steam or hot water boiler should be used.
This manual covers CBEX Elite boilers ranging from 100 through 1200 boiler horsepower for the following fuels:
Series 100 Light Oil (No. 2)
Series 200 Light Oil (No. 2) or Gas
