Boiler Horsepower: 1500 HP

Pressure: 150 PSI steam (nameplate)

Input: 61,991,000 BTU/HR (nameplate)

Rated Steam Capacity: 51,750 lb/hr from and at 212°F (CB literature, 1500 HP)

HP note: the plate does not state horsepower. 1500 HP agrees with the model number (series 700 – 1500 HP – 150 PSI). The nameplate input of 61,991,000 BTU/HR matches the published natural gas input for a 1500 HP CBEX Elite at 150 psig (61,991 CFH at 1,000 Btu/cu ft, nominal 81% efficiency) in the Cleaver-Brooks CBEX Elite 1300-2200 HP Boiler Book. The 700 in the model is the gas fuel series, not horsepower.
