Webster Launches JBE(X) Commercial Boiler Burner Designed To Maximize Total Energy Savings

WINFIELD, Kan. - June 30, 2016 - PRLog -- Webster Combustion Technology LLC ("Webster") is pleased to introduce a new type of boiler burner, the model JBE(X), a product designed specifically to deliver total energy savings from reductions in both fuel and electricity. While most boiler manufacturers emphasize fuel economy in their products - as does Webster - the new JBE(X) takes it one step further, vastly improving energy efficiency to help commercial facilities reduce their operating costs.

Webster is the first commercial boiler burner manufacturer to introduce a high efficiency, low excess air burner to improve boiler combustion efficiency. Perfect for hospitals, schools and universities, which are particularly cost sensitive because of tight operating budgets, the JBE(X) achieves 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 boiler, burner size and operating conditions.

How The JBE(X) Boiler Burner Works

Webster has combined their unique high swirl firing head technology with a highly efficient in-line combustion air fan to provide improved mixing of the fuel and air, resulting in lower motor horsepower requirements. This combination allows the JBE(X) series burners to operate with low excess air across a large operating range. Less excess air translates to higher fuel efficiency, and high efficiency combined with high turndown reduces the 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(X) will provide fast payback and the best possible return on your burner investment.

Some of the JBE(X)'s most important features include:

- Excellent flame stability for reliable low NOx performance

- Low excess air for extremely efficient combustion

- Low Motor HP requirements and highly efficient combustion air fans to optimize electrical efficiency and provide fast payback

- High turndown rates: up to 12:1 on gas firing, and up to 10:1 on oil firing

- High turbulence combustion for better fuel mixing

- Fire all types of boilers: Scotch-Marine, Firetube, Firebox, as well as heaters and other vessels

- Fire multiple fuels
