The 8 Series Hot Water or Steam Oil Fired Boiler from Smith Boilers is one of the company's best selling oil-fired boilers. This boiler won the Consumer's Digest Best Buy Award. There are 8 different size boilers in the 8 Series, they all range in MBH from 90 to 250 MBH and all have an efficiency of 85% AFUE. What makes the 8 Series Boilers from Smith so different than the rest is that this boiler has a larger surface area due to the larger amount of water that this boiler can hold.
In the 8 Series Hot Water Boiler it has a larger than normal combustion chamber. This allows more room for the combustion process of the boiler to work. The premise is the longer the chamber the better the boiler can provide a better and cleaner combustion. This boiler emits low NOx emissions, plus the longer the chamber the quieter the operation system is. The 8 Series is made from a strong and reliable Cast Iron construction, making this boiler a long lasting boiler. The cast iron boiler sections are 4" thicker and deeper than other oil-fired boilers. This makes a huge difference because the thicker the boiler sections are the better the boiler will be about holding high water temperatures for a longer period of time even after the boiler is on standby.
By choosing the 8 Series Boiler you will get a boiler that is a high efficiency boiler but one that has a better combustion system, a quieter operation systems and a boiler that has a higher retention for hot water or steam. Some of the standard features on both the Hot Water and the Steam Boilers are the Cast Iron Wet Base Section. You can have your choice of a Beckett AFG Burner, a Carlin EZ Pro or the Riello Flame Retention Burner with nozzle. These are the 3 top burners in the industry.
