Lochinvar Copper-Fin (CBN/CHN)

Copper-Fin is Lochinvar's commercial non-condensing gas boiler family, listed on the current Commercial Boilers page in three lines — atmospheric CBN315-500 at 82% thermal efficiency, fan-assisted CBN0497-2067 at 84%, and Copper-Fin II CHN0402-2072 at 85% with the SMART SYSTEM control and up to 4:1 proportional firing — 21 printed sizes from 315,000 to 2,070,000 BTU/hr.

Series facts

Type
non-condensing
Efficiency
Unknown
Fuel
All three submittals print "Change 'N' to 'L' for LP gas models" with "No deration on LP models" (CBA-Sub-08, CB-Sub-14, CHE-Sub-11), and the I&O ratings tables carry the same N-to-L note.
Venting
Three venting approaches by line. The atmospheric CBN uses a conventional negative-draft Category I system with a built-in draft diverter and Type B double-wall vent, with draft held between -0.02 and -0.05 in. w.c. per the product summary. The fan-assisted CBN is a fan-assisted Category I unit with conventional negative-draft or outdoor installation venting. The Copper-Fin II CHN offers Category I (double-wall Type B) and Category IV (AL29-4C stainless steel) vertical or horizontal venting, with DirectAire and powered sidewall options listed in the submittal.

About the Copper-Fin (CBN/CHN)

Lochinvar's Commercial Boilers page lists three Copper-Fin entries under "Commercial Non-Condensing Gas-Fired Boilers" beside Power-fin: "Copper-fin® Atmospheric," "Copper-fin® Fan Assisted" and "Copper-fin II®." The atmospheric line covers four printed sizes (CBN315, CBN360, CBN399, CBN500) at 82.0% thermal efficiency with a built-in draft diverter and two-stage control; the fan-assisted line covers eight (CBN0497 through CBN2067) at 84% with fan-assisted combustion, a sealed combustion chamber and two-stage electronic temperature control; and the Copper-Fin II line covers nine (CHN0402 through CHN2072) at 85% thermal efficiency (AHRI certified) with proportional firing up to 4:1 and the SMART SYSTEM control. Every model is a gasketless ASME copper finned-tube commercial boiler at 160 psi working pressure, and the submittals print "Change 'N' to 'L' for LP gas models" with no LP deration.

The atmospheric CBN's CBA-Sub-08 submittal prints inputs of 315,000 to 500,000 BTU/hr with 82.0% thermal efficiency, outputs of 258 to 410 MBH and AHRI net ratings of 224 to 357 MBH, on 2" NPT water connections and 3/4"-1" gas connections with 8"-10" vents. The current I&O ratings table adds minimum inputs of 157.5 to 250 MBH and a two-stage high/low fire system, and the I&O describes a conventional negative-draft Category I installation where the built-in draft diverter means "No additional external draft hood is required."

The fan-assisted CBN's CB-Sub-14 submittal prints eight models from 495,000 to 2,065,000 BTU/hr at 84% thermal efficiency, with heat capacities of 416 to 1,735 MBH and AHRI net ratings of 362 to 1,508 MBH; the CBX I&O adds minimum inputs of 250 to 990 MBH. The line is built for replacement work — the product page notes it "Fits Through a Standard 36" Doorway" — and uses hot surface ignition, a sealed combustion chamber and an advanced control system with diagnostic lights; the I&O calls it a "fan-assisted Category 1 unit" with conventional negative-draft or outdoor installation venting.

The Copper-Fin II CHN's CHE-Sub-11 submittal prints nine models from 399,000 to 2,070,000 BTU/hr at 85% thermal efficiency, with outputs of 339 to 1,760 MBH and AHRI net ratings of 295 to 1,530 MBH; the CHX I&O adds minimum inputs of 250 to 630 MBH. It carries the SMART SYSTEM operating control with a built-in cascading sequencer for up to 8 boilers, front-end loading capability with Crest or Knight boilers, BMS integration and 0-10 VDC rate output, is certified to ANSI Z21.13/CSA 4.9, and vents as Category I (Type B double-wall) or Category IV (AL29-4C stainless steel) vertically or horizontally. Lochinvar's Canada English pages for all three lines are identical in content to the United States pages, and the commercial warranty sheet covers installations in the United States or Canada.

Highlights

  • 21 printed sizes from 315,000 to 2,070,000 BTU/hr of input
  • Thermal efficiency only — no AFUE is published for any Copper-Fin line
  • Two-stage high/low fire on the atmospheric and fan-assisted lines; up to 4:1 proportional firing on Copper-Fin II
  • Gasketless ASME copper finned-tube heat exchanger and 160 psi working pressure across the family
  • Copper-Fin II SMART SYSTEM control with cascade for up to 8 boilers and front-end loading with Crest or Knight
  • Category I Type B vent on all lines; Category IV AL29-4C stainless steel venting available on Copper-Fin II
  • 10-year heat-exchanger and 1-year parts coverage in the commercial warranty sheet (WAR7002 Rev H)

Lochinvar's commercial 10-year limited warranty sheet (WAR7002 Rev H) linked from all three Copper-Fin product pages prints a 10-year heat-exchanger warranty, lifetime coverage of the heat exchanger against thermal shock and 1-year parts coverage; the submittals print "10 Year Limited Warranty on Heat Exchanger" and "1 Year Warranty on Parts".

Frequently asked questions

Is the Copper-Fin a condensing boiler?

No. Lochinvar lists Copper-Fin II, Copper-Fin Fan Assisted and Copper-Fin Atmospheric under "Commercial Non-Condensing Gas-Fired Boilers" on its Commercial Boilers page, and their printed thermal efficiencies are 82%, 84% and 85% respectively.

What model codes does the Copper-Fin family use?

The atmospheric line uses CBN315, CBN360, CBN399 and CBN500; the fan-assisted line uses CBN0497, CBN0647, CBN0747, CBN0987, CBN1257, CBN1437, CBN1797 and CBN2067; and Copper-Fin II uses CHN0402, CHN0502, CHN0652, CHN0752, CHN0992, CHN1262, CHN1442, CHN1802 and CHN2072. All are printed in the official submittals and I&O ratings tables.

What is the difference between the atmospheric, fan-assisted and Copper-Fin II lines?

The atmospheric CBN is a draft-diverter Category I boiler with two-stage firing and 82% thermal efficiency; the fan-assisted CBN adds a sealed combustion chamber and fan-assisted Category I venting at 84%; the Copper-Fin II CHN adds the SMART SYSTEM control with 8-boiler cascade, proportional firing up to 4:1 and Category IV venting options at 85%.

Is the Copper-Fin available in Canada?

Yes. Lochinvar's Canada English product pages for all three Copper-Fin lines are identical in content to the United States pages, and the commercial warranty sheet WAR7002 Rev H is in effect when the product is installed within the United States or Canada.
