PERFORMANCE DATA
Efficiency Tables A10-5, A10-6, and A10-7 show predicted fuel-to-steam efficiencies (excluding
radiation and convection losses) for Cleaver-Brooks Model CBR Firetube boilers. For
specific efficiencies on firetube boiler offerings not listed here, contact your local Cleaver-
Brooks authorized representative.
Emissions The emission data included in this section (Table A10-8) consists of typical uncontrolled
emission levels for Cleaver-Brooks Model CBR Firetube Boilers.
Cleaver-Brooks Firetube boilers are available with the standard burner package for Model
CBR, or optional internal flue gas recirculation on.
The Cleaver-Brooks IFGR packages are integrated boiler/burner/control packages
designed specifically for Cleaver-Brooks boilers. For detailed information on Cleaver-
Brooks IFGR packages, refer to Model CB (LE) in Section A2.

Notice
The data in Table A10-8 represents typical emission levels only. Guaranteed
emission levels are available from your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized
representative.

ENGINEERING DATA
The following engineering information is provided for Model CBR Firetube Boilers.
Additional detail is available from your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative.
Blowdown Water Requirements
Some local codes require blowdown tanks to be constructed in accordance with
recommendations of the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.
The National Board’s recommendations base the size of the blowdown tank on the
removal of at least 4 inches of water from the boiler.
Sound Level
Table A10-13 summarizes predicted sound pressure levels for Model CBR Boilers.
These values are based on standard motors. Optional motor types and altitude conditions
can increase sound levels.
Units
The units for the sound level tables are dBA (decibels, measured on the A-weighted
scale) in reference to 0.0002 microbars (20 micro-Newtons per square meter). They are
standardly referenced in specifying and reporting sound pressure levels on industrial
equipment.
Test Method
The sound pressure levels in Table A10-13 were obtained from tests in accordance with
the “ABMA Test Code for the Measurement of Sound from Packaged Boilers.” In
accordance with this code, the sound pressure levels reported were measured on the

Section A10-15 Rev. 05-09

Model CBR 125-800 HP Boilers

boiler centerline 4-1/2 feet vertically above the bottom of the base rails and 3 feet
horizontally in front of the end of the blower motor or front surface of the electrical
cabinet.
Sound Level Meter
The sound level meter used complies with ANSI S1.4, Type 1 (Precision). The readings
are taken with the meter set for slow response.
