One reason for this is the system has been rated for a high efficiency rating
of 87.6%. The circulating system inside the boiler allows hot flue gases to go pass through the
heat exchanger 3 times. The majority of home boilers only have a single or double pass
system.
The System was created to help the most from the boiler. The Freeport CT Oil
Boiler has some interesting features; let’s take a look at what you are missing. There are some old
style homes that come with chimneys that is what makes this style boiler so popular.
The Freeport Series Oil Fired Boiler is available in two models. The Freeport
CT Series, which is used for the homes with chimneys. The Freeport ODV has a direct venting systems
that is used for new homes and for homes that are making the change from electric to oil
boilers.
Both styles of boilers come with factory installed Cast Iron Sections. These
are design to help keep the heat in the boiler not out. Both styles of boiler have refractory
insulated hinged doors with sight glasses on the door. This is beneficial in two ways; the
refractory insulated doors will help with the energy efficiency of the boilers by keeping in the
heat. The sight glass on the door will make maintenance on the boiler 100% easier.
Both the CT and the ODV has an A.S.M.E Certified Relief Valve that should be
set at 30 PSI. Read the manual for the proper settings and levels the boiler you choose should be.
By understanding what boiler you are have, will make service and troubleshooting much
easier.
The Boilers come with either Beckett or Riello Flame Retention Oil Burner.
Both Beckett and Riello have great reputations, no matter which one you choose you don’t have to
worry about performance.
