INSPECTION ACCESS
MORE STEAM STORAGE
EASIER SERVICE
The waterside openings are
located in the most eective
positions. The lower hand holes
oer far better access for both
clean out and inspection.
These more functional locations
avoid the obstructing hand hole
tunnels used by our
competitors.
The top opening oers a
strategic view of the furnace
crown sheet.
Capacity to handle swing and
spike loads: quick recoveryquick response.
The larger steam-release
surface is calmer, reducing
carry over of unevaporated
water.
The resulting drier steam also
reduces system scaling.
In addition, dry steam helps to
eliminate unnecessary extra
condensate. Energy and fuel
are saved, resulting in longer
boiler life.
Thoughtfully engineered with
the owner in mind.
Access opening above feed
water inlet for easy cleaning.
Fireside tube access from top and
bottom.
No heavy doors or covers to
complicate service procedures.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
Unit is leg/skid mounted for
easy handling.
Factory wired with wiring
schematic included in the
manual.
Ecient and space saving
layout.
2-PASS DESIGN
The combustion gases travel
down the furnace then reverse
direction as they exit upward
through the enhanced firetubes to
merge in to this super-heat chamber surrounding the steam chest.
This design will aid in delivering a
drier steam before gasses exit the
exhaust stack.
Heat transfers evenly through
the tubes and boiler shell, eliminating the metal stress due to uneven
heat transfer common in other
designs.
DURABILITY
Fire does not pass under the
bottom mud ring, eliminating
the blistering that occurs with
other designs.
Cooler furnace gases are located at the bottom of the
vessel where scale is most
likely to occur. Baking of scale
is alleviated in Hursts design.
RELIABILITY
The furnace crown is watercooled, eliminating refractory
breakdown inherent in units of
inferior design.
No water coils or in the fire
mud rings to burnout.
EYE HIGH BURNER
No step ladder is needed to
service.
No bending over or sitting on
the floor.
The air intake is located in the
center of the unit so dust is not
pulled from the floor.
SAFETY
Electrical components are
located away from the floor,
helping to eliminate the possibility
of water coming in contact with
electricity.
Trimmed with pressure vessel
relief valves, pressure limit and
burner safe guard controls.
AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES
The VIX SERIES is available in a
complete package with an
optional compact skid mounted
feedwater system, pre-wired and
piped, ready to fire.
Blowdown separators are also
available.
