Cleaver-Brooks ClearFire-V 9.5 HP in practice
The 9.5 HP model is a size of the ClearFire-V, Cleaver-Brooks' compact vertical gas-fired steam boiler with AluFer tubes. Official drawing CB-8265 prints 328 lb/hr steam from and at 212°F, 318 thousand BTU/hr output, 65 sq ft of fireside heating surface and a natural-gas input of 393 cfh at rated capacity, calculated at nominal 81% efficiency for 1,000 BTU gas.
Connections on this size are a 1-1/2" steam outlet, a 1" feedwater connection, a 1" gas inlet, a 6 in stack outlet and a 4 in combustion air inlet, with a 335 W single-phase 115 VAC blower.
