Johnston Boiler

Custom Built Commercial & Industrial Boiler Manufacturer Since 1864

Spartan Controls is proud to announce our exclusive partnership with Johnston Boiler. In the marketplace, Johnston is recognized for its robust, reliable, and high-quality boilers. These boilers are crafted using materials that exceed ASME's minimum thickness requirements, ensuring maximum durability and longevity.
Johnston's conservative design philosophy maximizes the size of each boiler, providing customers with additional steam storage capacity and efficiency. With over 150 years in the boiler manufacturing business, Johnston's products are tried and true. Rather than chasing "new and improved" models, we focus on continuously enhancing our products from good to better to best.

509 Series
Firetube Boiler

509 Series

The Johnston Boiler 509 Series is renowned for its innovative 4-pass water-backed design, which combines high efficiency with low maintenance. This series maximizes effective heat transfer using five square feet of heating surface per boiler horsepower (BHP), eliminating tube sheet stresses and costly repairs common with dry-backed designs. Available in various configurations for both steam and hot water applications, the 509 Series offers robust construction, high steam and water storage, and the ability to handle wide load demands, making it a reliable and cost-effective choice for many boiler users.

Technical Brief

Burner/Boiler turndown has always been a topic of discussion when analyzing boiler loads, operating cycles, and overall boiler efficiencies. As a manufacturer of boilers and burners, Johnston decided to dig a little deeper.

The purpose of this technical brief is to document a comparison energy loss and the resulting impact on boiler efficiency between a boiler operating at a 4:1 turndown compared to a 10:1 turndown. The analysis shows, from an energy balance, that the stack gas losses are higher over a period of time for a boiler operated at 10:1 as compared to a boiler operating at a 4:1 turndown ratio. If the desire is to operate a boiler as efficiently as possible, then there is no advantage to operating to a 10:1 vs. a 4:1 boiler turndown.
