B40 Commercial Boilers

The Biasi B40 Commercial Boiler Series

You owe it to yourself to warm up to our BIASI boiler systems. Our economical and highly efficient 3-pass design offers the flexibility of using either an oil or gas burner. Our unique GG20 cast-iron block, with its 72 PSI rating and easy-access swing door, is unsurpassed in durability and efficiency, providing years of trouble-free operation. There are 7 models ranging from 265 to 658 MBH, which are well-suited for commercial or multi-unit buildings. We have tested our systems extensively to Hydronics Institute Standards. BIASI's foundry is ASME certified.

 Historic Church Enters 21st Century

 With Biasi B40 Commercial Boilers    

St.Johns Presbyterian Church in Cornwall, Ontario

Pictured here are three, BIASI B-40 11 Section Natural Gas Boilers equipped with Heat Wise Power Gas Burners installed in St. John's Presbyterian Church in Cornwall, Ontario. 

Three Small Modern Boilers Replace One “Old Dinosaur”
With only one boiler, there was very little ability to adjust the heat output of the old steam system. In a facility of this size, with seven different heating zones, the ability to adjust the output of the heating system was absolutely essential.  By utilizing three smaller boilers, a demand for heat from just one zone would not require one huge boiler to fire up, producing huge amounts of heat when only a small amount of heat was needed.  The “old dinosaur” of a boiler weighed thousands of pounds and contained a huge amount of water.  The “old dinosaur” was so massive, that a crane was required to remove it.  Each of the modern BIASI B-40 boilers installed weigh only 1,500 lbs and contain 31 gallons of water.  The significantly lower mass of cast iron and water in the boilers allow for dramatically quicker response to fluctuations in the facility's ever-changing heating demands.  Quicker response also increases the efficiency of the entire heating system. 

A Reliable and Long-Term Solution
Another concern for St. John's was the cost of maintenance and the longevity of the boilers as commercial parts and repairs can be extremely costly.  The GG-20 flexible cast iron used in the BIASI boiler block is corrosion resistant and not susceptible to thermal shock. The flexible cast iron of a BIASI boiler allows for “cold start” which significantly reduces annual heating costs. The BIASI B-40 Commercial Boiler has a 20 Year warranty on the boiler block and the standard replacement parts used on the boiler are readily available and economical to purchase.

Old Fashioned Steam Replaced by Modern Hot Water System
Steam was once very common in heating larger buildings but has been replaced by more cost effective hot water heating systems.  As with many older heating systems, St. John's had a steam heating system with one large boiler. The old steam boiler required significantly more energy as it had to constantly run at 214 degrees F in order to produce any heat at all.  BIASI hot water boilers, with their ability to produce hot water in a range of 120'F to 180'F, require less energy to do the same job. The new BIASI boilers, outfitted with modern controls, adjust the boiler's water temperature based on the temperature outside.  This feature is commonly known as “outdoor reset” and can significantly reduce heating costs when used with a “cold start” BIASI boiler.

New BIASI Boiler QUICKLY Pays for Itself    

"Just Clean" Car Wash in Charlottetown PEI

• Heating and hot water production for four open “self service” wash bays (22 foot wide by 86 feet long by 20 feet high)
• Hot Water for the touchless car wash
• Snow melt for the approach and exit pads of the touchless car wash

Fuel bills reduced by at least 30% ensure that the new BIASI boiler will quickly pay for itself.

The original boiler, a six year old locally made steel oil-fired boiler, could not provide enough heating to operate all three areas at the same time.  According to Blair  MacLeod “in cold weather the old boiler never seemed to stop running and still could not keep up with the heat demands” of the system. “Now, even in the coldest weather I can have every bay going and still not run out of hot water.”  The new BIASI boiler “runs for about 15 minutes, then is off for at least 10 minutes.” Not only is there ample hot water to run the entire heating system, the   fuel bills have been reduced by at least 30%.  The first year's savings on fuel alone have almost paid for the entire cost of the boiler replacement.

B-40 six section oil-fired boiler that was installed in the
 “Just Clean Touchless Car Wash” in Charlottetown, PEI

Due to insufficient heat generated by the infloor system, the four open “self service” wash bays used to require constant cleaning. Now, after one year the owner has not had to clean inside the wash bays even once.  This is an amazing change since the bays have no doors and as the owner admits, he “really is heating the great outdoors.”

High End Manufacturing Plant Finds

"Quality that Lasts" In BIASI B40 Series   

A Reliable and Long-Term Solution
When a company that prides itself on making “Pots for Eternity”* was looking to replace their boilers, one of their primary concerns was to create a reliable and long-term solution to their heating requirements. BIASI B-40 commercial boilers are virtually indestructible, constructed of the highest quality European cast iron that is corrosion-resistant and backed with a 20 Year Warranty**. Since BIASI boilers are approved for either fuel oil or natural gas, regardless of the customers' future energy choice, BIASI will remain the heart of the heating system.

BIASI Delivers Proven Reliability & Savings!
BIASI boiler systems have been installed in residential and commercial buildings throughout the world for years.  Designed and manufactured in Europe, where energy prices can be four times what we pay in Canada, BIASI boilers have provided proven savings for many years.
 

BIASI 3-Pass Design Saves Fuel!
The BIASI B40 has a unique triple pass European cast iron heat exchanger that extracts the maximum amount of heat from the combustion gasses, resulting in very little wasted heat and super high efficiency.  The B40's heat exchanger path is many times longer than a single pass, standard construction boiler, resulting in a much larger heating surface area and 50% less heat loss up the chimney.
