Lochinvar Crest FBN3001 in practice
The FBN3001 lifts the Crest FB line to 3.0 million BTU/hr of input: the I&O ratings table lists 150 to 3000 MBH with 2883 MBH gross output and a 2507 MBH AHRI net water rating, at 20:1 turndown per the manual. Water content is 156 gallons and weight with water 3,900 lb, with the 4" pipe connections and 2" gas inlet carried over from the 2501.
Air and vent both step to 10" at this size per the ratings table. Venting is in stainless steel, polypropylene, PVC or CPVC to 100 equivalent feet per the page feature list, and the boiler runs the wave fire-tube platform with the SMART TOUCH control and CON·X·US from the Crest family page, which prints the 10-year heat exchanger warranty.
Best suited to
- Commercial and institutional loads near 3.0 million BTU/hr
- Plants planned around 10" air intake and 10" vent openings
- Systems wanting 20:1 turndown at the 3001 size
