Superior carries three types of boiler each is listed below with a description of the boiler type to help with the selection of boiler.
Scotch Marine Fire Tube Boilers
The Scotch Marine Boiler is a fire-tube boiler, in that hot flue gases pass through tubes set within a tank of water. The general layout is that of a squat horizontal cylinder. One or more large cylindrical furnaces are in the lower part of the boiler shell. Above this is a large number of small-diameter fire-tubes. Gases and smoke from the furnace pass to the back of the boiler, then return through the small tubes and up and out of the chimney.
There are two basic designs for Scotch Marine Boilers. The typical design is the “wetback”, where the rear face of the combustion chamber is water-jacketed as a heating surface. The “dryback” variation has the rear of the combustion chamber as an open box, backed or surrounded only by a sheetmetal jacket. This simplifies construction, but also loses much efficiency.
Condensing Boiler
Condensing boilers are specifically designed to deliver maximum total efficiency and lowest total emissions while maintaining a responsive load response and low waterside pressure drop, for both the replacement heating boiler market and new construction.
Uniquely constructed with a large volume furnace, dimpled heating surfaces, and generous water content, the boiler can tolerate extremely low minimum flows approaching zero gallons per minute, making it the most versatile choice for any system.
