Vertical steam boilers in the spotlight
26 November 2019
Fulton considers whether the claims 'class-leading', 'energy-efficient' and 'superior steam quality' stack up when its award-winning VSRT-60 vertical steam boiler is compared to similar 60HP vertical steam boilers available in the UK.

Efficiency
With full operating performance curves available throughout the full output range, Fulton’s VSRT provides 84% gross thermal efficiency compared to approximately 80%, resulting in lower operating costs. A Fulton-designed modulating burner and furnace also achieves ultra-low NOx emissions of <20ppm and 10:1 turndown capability.
Steam
At 1306 litres, Fulton says the VSRT-60’s water volume is >120% greater than equivalent 60HP boilers, but still boasts a start-up time of 10-15 minutes and its installed footprint is >25% smaller. The VSRT also achieves a 99.75% steam quality, a figure many are unwilling to publish.
Durability
Fulton believes the VSRT will beat the competition, which is why all models come with a 10-year warranty on the pressure vessel, double that of the industry standard.
