Vantage Firetube Condensing Boilers

Models: VTG-2000, VTG-3000, VTG-4000, VTG-5000, VTG-6000
Fulton’s Vantage (VTG) line of condensing boilers combines proven industrial-grade firetube construction
with modern condensing boiler efficiencies up to 99%. The high-mass and high-volume pressure
vessel provides exceptional tolerance for varying and sometimes unpredictable system demands. The
highly-engineered robust construction is built to last with thicker, higher-strength materials including
Duplex (LDX2205) alloy stainless steel, and a premium fit and finish reflecting Fulton’s paramount
quality. Included parallel positioning combustion technology saves up to 5-8% on fuel consumption and
reduces CO2 emissions. The surgical precision of independent air and gas servo motors is optimized
across the entire curve, not just at high and low fire like on conventional controls, empowering technicians
to perfectly tune the burner for worry-free, efficient, and reliable heat. Vantage boilers are the premier
choice for healthcare, military, government, industrial process, and any other application searching for
the perfect blend of heavy-duty construction, simplicity and ultra-high efficiency fuel savings.

NOTES:
▪ No minimum flow requirement means a low or zero flow situation will not cause harm to the heat exchanger.
▪ The system will require proper design flow for the given conditions to heat the building and prevent nuisance high limit manual reset lockouts at the boiler.
▪ Flow rates will vary for glycol systems. Review Engineering Guide for details.
▪ Refer to the Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual for the water pressure drop at flow rates not listed above.

NOTES:
▪ NOx and CO are stated at a 3% O2 correction.
▪ Emissions data is typical for standard natural gas operation.
▪ Emissions will vary based on site specific factors and operating parameters.
▪ Site specific conditions and emissions requirements will determine the appropriate CO2 settings for each application.
▪ VOC is achieved through calculation using the AP 42 method as published by the US EPA, and are stated at rated input.
▪ AP 42, Fifth Edition, Vol 1, Ch 1, Table 1.4-2 determines the emissions components that cannot be measured with a combustion analyzer.
▪ Jacket losses: 0.2% of output at maximum capacity, IAW ASHRAE Standard 103-2007.
