Navien’s internationally leading range of LCB700 Blue Flame oil boilers is renowned for its blue flame technology and superior efficiencies of up to 104%. One of the components key to achieving such exceptional levels of performance is a high-grade, 100% stainless steel heat exchanger, which is resistant to corrosion and erosion, ensuring durability and longevity. As a result, every Navien LCB700 Blue Flame oil boiler is supplied with a 10-year warranty as standard.
High-grade 100% stainless steel is the perfect heat exchanger material, due to its lightweight, robust nature and low reaction to any contaminants present in a heating system’s water. Given the material’s capacity to cope with a wide range of pH values, it plays an integral role in helping maintain the performance of Navien’s boilers performance throughout their lifetime.
Sean Keleher, National Technical Manager at Navien, said: “We only use 100% stainless steel, as it offers fantastic resistance to corrosion. Engineers will know any fouling on the surface area will significantly reduce the heat transfer characteristics, which is a significant disadvantage when a boiler is required to operate at a high flow rate; however, stainless steel heat exchangers operate effectively whatever the velocity of the system water.”
