Series HF and HW "Scotch Box" Boilers

 

1. “Scotch Box” Design: The best features of Scotch Marine and Firebox boiler design are combined to produce a compact and durable wetback boiler. Models up to 45 boiler horsepower fit through standard 30" doorways. All models fit through 36" doorways. Waterlegs front and rear eliminate need for side connections and walkways. Boilers can be set within 8" of adjacent boilers or walls.

2. Welded Construction: L.E.S. boilers are built, inspected, and stamped in accordance with Section IV of the ASME code. 100% welded construction eliminates nuisance tube leaks and repairs.

3. U-Type Flex Joint: Reduced burner port design minimizes the destructive effects of differential stress as furnace expands at a greater rate than tubes during firing. Distributing expansion force among multiple perpendicular surfaces reduces potential for tubesheet damage. Boilers are warranted for 5 years against thermally induced stress cycling failures (commonly referred to as “thermal shock”).

4. Structural Steel Skid: Channel base with slots for forklift handling simplifies rigging. Full length skid allows rolling boilers into place on steel pipes. Lifting holes are standard on all models. 5.Custom-fabricated Turbulators: Bent steel turbulators insure positive furnace pressure necessary for highest non-condensing combustion efficiencies (83%+).

6. Removable Smokeboxes: Bolted and gasketed smokeboxes and covers provide convenient access to tubesheets for inspection and cleaning. Tube removal and replacement is practical from front or rear. Smokeboxes are easily removed for transporting boilers through existing elevators and stairwells.

7. Reversing Chamber Design: All flue gas reversing chamber surfaces except for rear access door are water-cooled, insuring true wetback boiler heat transfer efficiency. Bolted and gasketed rear door protected with a durable ceramic fiber blanket refractory provides easy access to furnace interior and furnace-to-tubes transition surfaces without costly and inconvenient burner removal.

8. Single Source Responsibility: L.E.S. guarantees Series HF and HW combustion efficiency when boilers are purchased as complete packages with PowerFlame, Webster, or Gordon-Piatt burners approved, mounted, and tested by L.E.S. Customer requests for technical assistance and parts are directed to our factory via authorized L.E.S. representatives.
