Technical Overview of Hurst Boilers

Hurst Boilers are engineered to deliver high thermal efficiency and durability. These boilers feature integrally welded steel frames, ensuring robust structural integrity under high-pressure conditions. Many Hurst models incorporate two-pass or three-pass firetube designs. Equipped with modulating burners and high-efficiency heat exchangers, Hurst Boilers can achieve superior fuel economy while maintaining low emissions. Low NOx burners and oxygen trim systems reduce pollutants without sacrificing performance. Additionally, Hurst Boilers are available with fully integrated control systems , including PLC-based monitoring, that provides real-time diagnostics and performance optimization. These features make them applicable in industrial environments requiring high steam output, consistent reliability, and regulatory compliance .
