Navien’s NFB-C Commercial Condensing Fire Tube Boilers have been honored with the Spaces4Learning 2020 New Product Award for Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing – HVAC, Platinum and the FacilitiesNet 2020 Vision Award for HVAC.

The Spaces4Learning New Product Award program honors the outstanding product development achievements of manufacturers and suppliers whose products or services are considered to be particularly noteworthy in their ability to enhance the learning environment.

The FacilitiesNet Vision Awards honor innovation and excellence in products that contribute to the efficient and profitable operations and management of institutional and commercial buildings in the United States. An independent panel of facility executives reviewed and judged Vision Awards entries.

Navien’s NFB-C commercial condensing fire tube boilers received these awards for their industry-leading 97.5% thermal efficiency which lowers operating costs for building owners, superior product engineering and numerous advanced features and benefits.

Each NFB-C boiler uses a stainless steel heat exchanger that is form-pressed and robotic laser welded to minimize the number of weak points that could be prone to thermal stress and corrosion. Oval shaped tubes within the heat exchanger contain internal turbulators designed to improve both the heat transfer rate and the structural integrity of the assembly. A specific water flow is generated by baffles inside the heat exchanger to extract the maximum amount of heat from flue gasses while the non-metallic base provides additional protection against corrosion caused by acidic condensate.

More advanced features of NFB-C boilers include top and bottom piping connections for installation flexibility and an advanced 7-inch color touch screen display with easy intuitive navigation for setup, troubleshooting and operation. The sophisticated gas flow control systems offer up to a 15:1 turndown ratio and extremely low NOx levels, certified by SCAQMD to meet the most stringent code requirements. Low exhaust gas temperatures allow the NFB-C to be installed using multiple venting options including PVC, CPVC, polypropylene and stainless steel. NFB-C can be installed with 3” venting up to 60 feet or 4” venting up to 150 feet.

Optional accessories allow each NFB-C boiler to connect to building management systems through Modbus, BACnet or LonWorks protocols. NFB-C boilers are NaviLink wi-fi remote compatible, cascade capable up to 16 units, common venting capable up to 4 units and are certified for high-altitude installations up to 10,100 ft.

Belimo is proud to be one of the 18 major donors to the ASHRAE Global Headquarters Renovation Project. Belimo donated some of its most technologically advanced HVAC field devices, including more than 100 valves. Products were chosen for their high performance and BACnet communication for their data sharing capabilities and seamless controller integration.

  • Belimo Energy Valves IoT pressure independent valve utilizes advanced cloud-based analytics to leverage system data to provide energy savings and the most efficient system operation.
  • Belimo Clear Edge™, an analytic data device that automatically discovers, captures, and analyzes system data from multiple Energy Valves in the building via BACnet.
  • Pressure Independent Valves to maximize available energy savings of variable flow pumping systems and address unique control challenges.
  • 6-way Pressure Independent Valves have the functionality of up to four 2-way control valves and two balancing valves saving material and installation time.
  • Belimo’s 100th million actuator assembled on the advanced Butterfly Valve which consumes up to 80% less power than conventional designs and equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) and BACnet communications capabilities
  • Globe Valves with a soft seat design to provide ANSI Class VI leakage rating and improved rangeability of 100:1 offers greater flow control.

Belimo’s innovative solutions provide comfort, energy efficiency, safety, ease of installation, and less maintenance for buildings and long-term reliability.

“Belimo is excited to be supporting ASHRAE’s Global Headquarters Renovation Project and is pleased to see a wide variety of our products helping the project meet its goal of net-zero energy,” states James Furlong, President Belimo Americas.

The renovation project is expected to be completed by late summer with a move in October 2020.
